Last year we had one of the weakest schedules, this year one of the toughest.
Our (arguably underperforming) QB & RB are no longer on 'team friendly' rookie deals and we had to commit more of the limited budget to retain their services.
O-Line & D-Line haven't been fixed and we've no consistent threat at WR.
We still have a significant amount of dead money tied up in players no longer at the club, next year we'll be free of the Gettleman era and into Schoen's, so I would say judge us next year but we've been historically bad for c.10 years now (see fig below...).
Shouldn't have got rid of Coughlin & Manning so quickly.

Dolphins @ Bills next week, who wins?
Even though the Bills have Josh Allen I think the Dolphins offense is stronger. The explosive passing game is now complimented with a good ground game and for the first time in years good Oline play.I think the Bills have the better defense and obviously home advantage.
A Miami win would give the team a 4-0 record with the Giants and Panthers both at home in weeks 5 and 6, that would also put Buffalo back at 2-2 and with both New England and the Jets having losing records the Dolphins would be in pole position for the AFC East. A Bills win would leave both teams with a 3-1 record and all to play for!

Miami have jumped to the top of the NFL power rankings and the offence is clearly the strongest in the league. Advantage to be playing in Buffalo early in the season, rather than in the snow. I’m going for a fins win by 2 scores

How bad were the lambs (Rams) last night against the Bengals? I mean Burrow was playing basically on one leg so it was definitely desperation time for Cincinnati. Rams went 0-9 on third down conversion and although Stafford looked decent in the first couple of games he looked pretty average last night not to mention the two interceptions.
Granted Copper Kupp is still out and maybe will be for a few more weeks but on last nights showing the Rams will be lucky to have a winning season.

I bloody hope he's back soon. He was my Fantasy pick 1. It's killing me having him on the IR list. They are still hopeful for Week 5 I believe? And the fact they are struggling, I'm sure they'll be getting him in ASAP
