I don't like the Dolphins too much and they lost Moreno early so the game was a bit easier on the Bills.
However, Miami is known to be a fast start team every year, so the win is not one of the given.
The Chargers beat Seahawks so the Bills will be underdogs again. This might actually help the Bills in terms of the psyche of the Chargers. It just shows how difficult it is to win the opener on the road against a quality opponent. Regardless how the Bears fare against the 49ers, they were a quality opponent last week.
Locally I know a guy who is in the field of NFL agency who keeps telling me that he heard many NFL offices view the Bills as a talented team (he told me one Steelers executive said during the preseason game here that he'd love to swap Bills and Steelers roster except the starting QB). Pittsburgh resident, ESPN analyst Matt Williamson has mentioned Bills talent level on radios many times. Senior sports writer here echoed as much - the Bills have a playoff squad except QB position.
I guess Whaley and Marrone must view themselves the same. They just want EJ not to screw up. It is quite pathetic that they basically took the ball out of EJ's hands in the 4th Quarter today - I was yelling, let the kid throw some passes.
All in all, EJ certainly has met their criteria two games in and the rest of the team have been on par to what they expected. No breakout player like Kiko last year yet.
Don't think the next two games will be easy though. The Chargers team will be the best team they face thus far in 2014.
