To preview the upcoming season we have reached out to our fellow Fansided sites to get the inside info on the 2014 Chicago Bears opponents. This week we are starting with the Bears’ first opponent, the Buffalo Bills. Check out how Scott DelleFave from BuffaLowDown answered our infamous “5 Questions”.

What did you like and/or dislike about what the Bills did in free agency and the draft?

"I liked that the Buffalo Bills were what I called cautiously aggressive and landed the best offensive weapon in Sammy Watkins. I also liked how they took three offensive linemen that have massive upside. I didn’t like that Tight End wasn’t addressed either in Free Agency or in the draft."

Which rookie are you most looking forward to seeing this season?

"Easily Sammy Watkins, if he can make the transition from college to the pros, he will be electrifying for years to come."

What do you feel the Bills weakest link is going into Training Camp?

"I think the Buffalo Bills weak link is Tight End, they didn’t improve the team at all at this position this off-season at all."

Can you tell us about a player on the roster who hasn’t reached the spotlight but you feel will be a difference maker in 2014?

"Michael “Duke” Williams, was hidden behind Jairus Byrd last season and could emerge as an excellent replacement for him due to his sheer speed and mean streak. He had a year to learn and understand the speed of the NFL."

I know it’s ridiculously early, but I know everyone looks at the schedule in the offseason trying to predict wins and losses. How do you feel about the matchup against the Bears?

"Despite that it’s a road game, I am actually optimistic about the opener against Chicago. The Bills defense has made even more strides since last year due to their additions during the off-season. While the Bears have great wide receivers, it will be one underrated battle between them and the Bills secondary. With Chicago’s defense, I don’t know if they have filled the void at middle linebacker that Brian Urlacher left after retiring."

Bears fans, what do you think about the matchup against the Bills? Do you think that defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz’s familiarity with the Bears will give the Bills an edge?
