Colts look like crap. and whats up with Alex Smith? Three TDs (but none to a WR of course)

The game is more indicative of the Colts' bad coaching and GM than anything else. I laughed when people said this team was the AFC favorite. Pagano is clueless and Grigson even more so.

Tyrod Taylor will come back down to earth this season, trust me.

Indy? You don't think this is a testament to the Bills defense being pretty good, perhaps better than most thought?

I think anyone who knows football knows the Bills have a great defense. They're making good plays but I am seeing horrendous play from the Colts which seems to point to the usual lack of coaching from the Colts. I may be biased though - it is not a great secret that I've wanted both Pagano and Grigson gone for quite some time.

The Bills will turn into Jets North once Tyrod Taylor is inevitably exposed like Sanchez was. A great D can only carry you so far.

EDIT: I laugh every time I hear the name Jerry Hughes. He was one of our #1 picks and he was grossly misused here but is flourishing in Buffalo. Won't surprise me if the same thing happens to Bjoern Werner.

shittsburgh for the most part ran at will against them and did a decent job passing down the field. too many penalties killed there drive along with not being able to score points at the end of them.

Add in poor coaching, poor clock management as well. They were moving the ball at will on their 1st possession and tried a gimmick play where Brown was going to attempt a pass, that blew up as a 14yrd loss then the kicker missed 2 make-able FG's. Later Gronk was completely uncovered, I mean no one was even near him, Brady said thanks as he threw to Gronk for an easy TD. On another series Pitt only had 10 men on the field, Brady said thanks again and tossed another TD to Gronk. With better coaching Pitt has the offense to score big numbers and win a lot of games.

I feel so bad for Morris. He is such a good back but he is stuck in Washington. I wish the Cowboys would have gotten him. His ability behind a good line, man that would be something! He also rides his bike to work...

Let's go, Buffalo! Pull off the big opening day upset!

I don't think this is the "upset" that much, Buffalo had a top 5 defense last season and now they added more guys and a much smarter coach, look for them to challenge the Pats next week, it will be a very close game, Rex always had his guys up for the Pats even when he had shit for talent with the Jets.

#@$%^%^$#

had those two picks right and I changed them, ugh.


Pack wasn't looking that hot most of the game against bears, could have been ugly if not for that late INT.

Jets played much better once they started getting turnovers. Lot of injuries in that game though.

rams and seachickens in OT.

I'm a Chargers fan, but I love watching Ameer Abdullah run. Been excited about him since preseason. He does a great job juking, cutting, and accelerating (even though he doesn't look crazy fast). I think he's going to be one of the best RBs in the league this year. I think Zach Zenner could fill in for him if he goes down, too... very similar backs, and I think people are undervaluing that potential tandem. Joique Bell isn't bad, either, but there's more promise with Abdullah and Zenner.

The Chargers don't have good run blocking. If they did, Ryan Mathews would have been much better and more consistent.

looked like they were going to benefit from some weird penalty but it was eventually waved off.

That's one of the more lopsided trades of the last 5 years.

Interesting in that Indy had 49 passes to 17 rush plays, that does not bode well and Luck did not have a very good game so the Buffalo D is for real IMO.

They were behind most of the game and it looked like the abandoned the running almost completely.
