    I got your back. I'll be cheering for this team through the highs and lows. Capers has never shown the new stuff, before the 1st game of the season. Im hoping that Travis Johnson turns out to be the player they scouted. I fear that Mathis is going to continue to have hamstring problems.

    The OL is always the question, but Carr's mistakes didn't appear to be the OL - IMO.

    If the OL allows Carr to get his throw off, and DD provides the punch, I don't see why we can't feel optimistic.

    The key to the defense is the pass rush (Babin and Peek) and Bucannan's potential cover skills. I think the Bills will attack C.C. in the middle.

    Go Texans

    With a rookie QB? Im not so sure. Expect a heavy dose of Willis McGahee, and mabye one or two shots down the field to keep the Texans D honest.
    The Bill's have publicly said that they intend to lighten the load tremendously on Losman especially in his first NFL start.

    The key will be which defense can stop the run, and the game could most definately come down to a turnover or big defensive/special teams play.

    The Texans might try to throw a few deep to AJ on Clements, who has a injured shoulder, which could slow him down a bit.

    We'll hold you to that... ;)

    I know you're just frustrated with the lack of off-season improvement on the OL. I too don't think that we can make the playoffs this year. I'd be pleasantly surprised with an 8-8 record, but not shocked if we finish 7-9 again.

    But with all of the logical, impartial predictions now laid aside, it's time for the season to begin, and time for me to start thinking with my heart: We're going to the Super Bowl this year baby!!!!!

    GO TEXANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You'd think they'd know how to line up to avoid jumping off-sides... that's two already.

    Nice to hold the Bills to a FG considering the way that drive started.

    Bucannon is already making me nervous... I thought we were getting a semi-shutdown corner. I guess we'll see.

    BTW, love your sig RocketFan007 :)

    What did we give up again in this next draft to downgrade at CB with Buchanon?

    What if we get Dunta and Buchanon to trade jerseys during the next time out?? Is that ethical?

    That's now 4 offsides penalties.

    EDIT: At least we're stopping the run... Buffalo should probably just air it out every single time.

    Wasn't that a delay of game before Peek jumped?

    Offsides 4 times already in the 1st quarter. Nice.

    The way the Bills are playing we should be down 14-0. I'll take 0-6 any day to start the game the way our defense looks.

    Good to see the playcalling isn't highly predictable again this year.

    So far, the Texans played better in 2002.

    Yeah, I've never been able to decide who's worse Chris Palmer or Greg Davis.

    Man, we're looking stellar right now.
