Bills game might not be a gimme

Hilton has a "bruised knee" and word is that he may miss a week, nothing more. They're just fine in the weapons department. Aside from Hilton, they have a pair of good TE's, Andre Johnson, and a first round pick in Phillip Dorsett.

As for the defense, you have an opinion, I have statistics. I'll take the facts over an opinion any day. The Texans had the 17th ranked offense last year, so it's not like they were scrubs. We get to play the Browns (ranked 23rd in '14) twice every year. Should that be held against our D?

Btw, I was shorting the Colts by saying they were "middle of the pack". They actually finished 11th in total defense last year. I don't care if you don't think their defense is great, but they definitely weren't scrubs, which is what people are implying.

There are a LOT of overreactions after week 1 every single year, this year will be no exception. I have no problem with people making predictions and whatnot, but I'll stay in the crowd that gives it more than 60 minutes of football against 1 single team to determine how underrated and overrated everybody is.

Eifert looks as good as advertised, but I'm still not 100% sold until I see him do it more than just once. A lot of teams/players looked really good/really bad early last year that ended up being the exact opposite by the end of the season.

Maybe the Colts are really good and the Bills are just even better at being really good, how crazy would that be? Buffalo Bills - St. Louis Rams Super Bowl.

Maybe the Bills are just that good? I mean, we are talking about a team that finished 9-7 last year, had the 4th ranked defense and they were playing in Buffalo. On top of that, the Colts aren't exactly the best road team.
