Do we hit the panic button on a 1-4 start?

[WillisXPress]

In all honesty... gulp... I can see the bengals wining just as much as I can see the Bills wining... it really depends on our offense.

The Bengals are way past due beating us (its BS playing in the natti twice in a row, but whattayagunnado)  they have a dynamic offense, and the D should be improved...

But if Losman starts getting it by then, we have offensive weapons to counter the scoring of Cincy, and our D is flat out nasty....

What happened to the Willis we all know? What did you do with the smack talking a**hole?

Where are you Willis?!?!?!?

Its a long way til we play you.....

I thought buffalo screwed up getting rid of Bledsoe , this game doesnt seem so scarey now. Bledsoe is still a damn good QB.

right, dude.. Bledsoe was the sole reason we weren't in the postseason last year... the guy had 43 turnovers his last 32 games with us... he was solely responsible for our first loss to NE, he threw 4 redzone INT's against Baltimore, and he blew it against Pitsburgh in the finale....

If Losman can manage to have one turnover per game average its an upgrade.

I think Losman will make or break the Bills season entirely. If he plays poorly, I could really see them going 6-10 or worse. If he plays passably, they are an 8 or 9 win team. If he plays at all well, then they are going to be very tough to beat and could contend with New England for that division. I say it'll be 8 or 9 wins, but they look poised to be very good in coming seasons. As for our Bengals, I can't imagine another slow start. In 2003, the problem was a decade's worth of losing attitude, and adjusting to Marvin Lewis. In 2004, it was the early struggles of Carson Palmer and a very young defense. All of those problems seem to be fixed as of now, to go with a pretty easy schedule early on. I don't think 4-1 or better is at all farfetched. The hardest stretch comes during midseason, and even if we are under .500 during that stretch, a big start and a big finish will make the season for us. Playoffs or bust! :player:

We won't start 1-4. We will start 5-0 on the way to a division-winning 15-1 season and a Super Bowl victory.

You're dreaming. I think 10-6 is about right.

As far as the Bills, I've read reports (can't remember where) that Losman's been struggling in camp. I don't think he's going to turn out so well. Hopefully, I'm right.

He's been fine... he's ran with the ball more the we'd like, but he has yet to throw an INT in camp, or the scrimmage, and thats what's important.

He is money on the shorter routes, but he has been overthrowing on the longer out routes....

But it is still his first time taking all the snaps, and he's got pressure on him.

Hopefully he'll be fine.

How would a mass suicide in Buffalo ruin my Christmas?

I'm sorry, Willis, but Buffalo isn't beating us this year. Much as they aren't going to beat alot of other teams this year.

I'm writing a Bengals preview. I think I'll delete anything good I've written about them and write something very naughty instead.

Hey, Willis, nice to see someone from the Range here.

I don't see the Bengals going 1-4, but then you never know. Don't underestimate the Jaguars and the Texans, I think especially the former are pretty good.

Bills vs. Bengals: Too early too call. Yes, I'm not a good trash talker.
