    They won the game, when you have 4 new starters on the OL and 2 rookies you can expect the running game to struggle, Najee showed his potential on that 18 yard run.

    I think some of you are giving the Bills D too much credit. They are middle of the pack. I'll take a wait and see position since the OL is revamped and we've got a rook running behind them. But we've heard this before about how they are going to commit to being more of a run team. If the starting RB is still only getting 45 yards a game with an average under 3 ypc after 4-5 games, then we have a real problem. It didn't prove fatal this week because the D bailed out an under performing O. We saw how that worked out last season down the stetch - not good.

    I'm not so concerned with game 1. As others have stated, the line needs time to gel and Najee needs to adjust to the NFL game. My only concern is that he seemed to go down easier than I expected. We'll see. Maybe it was just a few plays that really stood out in my mind and not a harbinger of things to come.

    Can’t remember where I saw it, but some site had more than 60% of Najee’s yards coming after first contact. That’s usually indicative of a line that can’t open up holes at all.

    If they just put 4 and 2 together, they'd get it. I don't know why they don't.

    His best run was 3rd and 1. And he converted. Steelers have sucked on 1 yard to go for years. I felt comfortable when he converted.

    I cant imagine him being much fun to watch the games with. Some fans are really like that, though. I wouldn't let it bother you.

    I think its more of a personality disorder. Some people are born to be miserable.

    It’s also a sign of a good running back?

    It’s all a matter of attitude.

    When I was checking out of my local mom/pop grocery today the clerk naturally said “hello how are you”. I said “I’m fantastic “. She got a big smile and said “I love when people say that because I know they truly mean it”.

    Me, I decided a long time ago to have a great life and enjoy it. And because of that, I have.

    I guess some fans expect just because they have a stud RB he's going to get 100 yards rushing, it's a work in progress.

    Truth but I did notice a couple of times where the OL has that edge they are looking for. I saw Turner and one of the Bills dlinemen almost coming to blows way away from the play. So they aren't letting themselves be pushed around.
