I took the Bills in my Survivor Pool this week.

God save me.

Not that I don't think they'll win but I am saving the Bills for when they play Miami, plus I want to see how they do against a team that has real receivers

They should win there, that defense is better than NYG but that's not saying much.

My fantasy plan this year is to trade my entire team for the QB playing the Giants that week. I picked up Josh Allen for that purpose and it paid off. They make everyone look like an MVP. Hurts to say as a Giants fan.

I grabbed Devin Singeltary and John Brown last week. Thinking of putting in Singeltary but I'm worried about his splitting carries with Gore.

I get it, I don't like it but it's true.

Giants were throwing practice squad WR's out there.

If the Bills are going to really Bills one up, the Miami game is the prime candidate. So i feel ok with the Bengals.

This has the making of a typical Buffalo let down game

Home Opener coming in 2-0 against an 0-2 team

The Bengals aren't going to roll over like the Giants did, but this is a game the Bills should win and must win if they are to be taken seriously

I did see that. Thanks.

It's for my third RB spot so if you're taking a chance anywhere that's it.

I have Kamara and Bell as one and two.

I have Singeltary and Montgomery from the Bears as that option.

My receivers, I have Diggs, Alshon, and Brown that I have to choose from. I'm thinking Brown but is Cincinati good against the pass because people run right over them or do they have a decent secondary? I don't know.

I don't think the Dolphins win a game all year

I also don't think they come within a TD of winning a game all year

I take umbrage with that. They didn't lay down.

That defense is THAT bad right now. They have NO pass rush. The only reason they got to Allen is his propensity to hold the ball too long. That's not a terrible thing for him, he's always looking to make a play.

Eli has been hitting check downs only for YEARS. This year though he actually has an O Line so he has time to let things develop.

Eh there was never a time outside the opening drive and then the 3 and out by the Bills that I ever thought the Giants had a chance in that game of coming back.

Maybe rolling over isn't the right saying but there was never a doubt the Bills had the game in the bag after they made it 21-7

No doubt.

That game was never in question. Everyone knew the Giants were going to be bad, now the Giants paid 13 million for two starts from their QB.

But I'll be watching some Bills games this year.

I want to see you guys actually make some noise in the post season. If any fans deserves it, it's Buffalo.

Cleveland too, but their team is nuts.

This feels like a Billsy loss.

It's time for them to prove the one game at a time mentality that they preach.

Eli was done 2 years ago, they should have moved on then

I liked him cause he beat the Pats twice in the Super Bowl but everyone could see his time was done.

I am still in the optimistic stage of this season for the Bills. I want to see them take care of business this week

100%.

I'm going to Buffalo this weekend.

Tickets are outrageous, so I'll either watch it with the family, or one of a million places to watch the game.

I'm going to have a heightened anxiety for the game though.

The Sabres have sent Matej Pekar back to juniors. The Amerks announce their camp opens Monday, so (again) look for the rest of the cuts Sunday.


First roster move of camp

Agreed straight across the board. Really pulling for the Bills.

I thought that Pekar was done with juniors and going to Rochester. Looks like I was wrong.

I am hoping prices go down a little bit cheapest I found for a pair is $300 with all the fees

I might just go tailgate and try to scalp tickets

If he keeps improving he is going to be the perfect 4th line role guy in the new modern NHL

Get the app. The ticket prices on gametime drop as the start time approaches, then again after it starts. If you are going to be there tailgating anyway, its the perfect scenario.
