My thinking is that I want to give Mittelstadt the best chance possible to succeed, and Eichel played with Girgensons and Pominville last year, so Sheary and Okposo is still a major upgrade

So what happens to Larson and bowl u?

Can they just waive them or matt moulson them to the ahl?

I like your line combos, I'm sure they get jumbled thru out the season.

Thompson or nylander would be a pleasant surprise.

There were three or four episodes in a row that were outstanding like that. But I agree. Best TV ever.

Threw B.B. on this weekend while doing stuff around the house for back round noise.

Glued to TV during that episode....for like the 3rd time

Think everyone knows that they'll be flipped with regularity and someone will be hurt before opening night.

1st pick in the 2019 draft belongs to the buffalo bills.... Allen should have played the entire game against Chicago if this was the plan...

Record wise, does it really matter who the QB is this season?
I suspect that with Peterman they get between 3 - 6 wins.
I also believe that Allen gets in as the starter midway through the season...
It gives the coaching staff time to help Allen see what D's are doing, and therefore teach him in a safe way how to best counter-act that for several games before being thrown to the wolves.
It is still Allen's team, just not for a few games.
Play it safe with a raw QB INITIALLY.

QB play will be a factor in W & L's, but there are many other factors the Bills will suck at as well...hence why I dont think it matters a great deal to get all worked up about.

This was a weird move in my mind.
He was the least of their worries.

Sorry, I just dont see it happening.
Offense is very, very underwhelming at all positions except running.
Opposing D's stack tne line and force young QB's to beat them...very low probability.

While I take the preaseason with a grain of salt, their D was surprising in a bad way...leaving a question mark in my mind on what exactly to expect...probably closer to last year's I hope...but they didnt look great out there, we shall see...here's my prediction

Opponent Result Record

at Baltimore Ravens L 0 - 1
Los Angeles Chargers L 0 - 2
at Minnesota Vikings L 0 - 3
at Green Bay Packers L 0 - 4
Tennessee Titans L 0 - 5
at Houston Texans L 0 - 6
at Indianapolis Colts W 1 - 6
New England Patriots L 1 - 7
Chicago Bears L 1 - 8
at New York Jets L 1 - 9
Jacksonville Jaguars L 1 - 10
at Miami Dolphins W 2 - 10
New York Jets W 3 - 10
Detroit Lions L 3 - 11
at New England Patriots L 3 - 12
Miami Dolphins W 4 - 12
