Nah, the Bills are really good. The Rams are flawed just like every other contender in the NFC.

The Bills seem to be the best team because they have no apparent weaknesses.

Until a massive injury or two come along. Not wishing for it but football gods will show themselves this year.

One injury can change a season. They have decent depth tho. Rams don't. Imagine Kupp going down for the year. Or Ramsey.

Not having Kittle is worrisome to me. Let's hope whoever else we have can step up because this is looking like a RB/TE came with the weather conditions.

Hopefully our defense can carry us.

I have a feeling the 49ers are gonna own the Bears. I just hope Kittle plays. C. Ward isn't gonna have anyone who matches up well with him, I'm seeing Fields running more than he has to.

38-13 - 49ers come away with an easy win.

I don't think Kittle plays week 1 and maybe even week 2. 49ers seem to always be conservative during the season with injuries. I also am worried the weather conditions help the Bears out as our offense is likely going to have a tough time getting on track.

Dwelley has always filled in nicely but it seems like he started falling out favor with the coaching staff late last season. He was brought back though so I see him getting a few catches and Kroft has starting experience.

I expect a lot of running game with of course a mix of Deebo in the backfield. I also think the O-line does a much better job than most of us expect.

I agree with all of that. Really haven't been this excited about the start of a season in while. Big unknown at QB but a very solid team all around Lance.

The rams are the reigning super bowl champs. They just got spanked by the Bills in their own house in a primetime game. A game in which the Bills turned the ball over 3 times in the first half.

It'll probably happen to Brady (classic drop back QB's) next. If those two don't have elite OL's it's game over.

We could have a legit shot at winning this division if ours starts growing.

AFC is just on another level with talent. The top teams just went nuts this off season competing with each other on adding talent.

i can see this as well. Tons of running the ball to get these kids some xp and confidence. It'll help Trey too.

I believe Brady is in for a rough season. One that keeps him in retirement permanently.

With elite QB's taking up so much of the salary cap, it is impossible for teams to build elite O lines and have elite pass catchers plus elite defense.

Me too!

That second part is a very true statement. IIRC, Cohn and others have been touting a % of the cap that once a QB takes up, basically, it ensures their team never wins a Superbowl. And it's pretty low too.

The Chiefs did it with Mahomes and their OL but I can't speak to the rest of their roster.
