Bears vs. Bills Talking Smack with Buffalowdown

Mandatory Credit: Jeremy Brevard-USA TODAY Sports The Bears may have been the second best scoring team in the league last year but the Bills defense ranked second in sacks and interceptions and were ranked 4th best in defending the pass. The Bills defense filled holes to stop the run game. With this combination they are sitting pretty for a top 5 defense overall this year. Defense wins championships. With the Bills offensive line averaging the size of a left tackle, I don’t think that they “revamped” defensive line is going to be much of an issue. Oh, and Bears fans are always a little too cocky! The Bills may not have the best passing attack in the league but the Bills had the 2nd best rushing attack last year averaging 144+ yards on the ground. With a healthy CJ Spiller, Fred Jackson and the additions of Bryce Brown and Anthony Dixon do the Bears even think that they will be able to contain the rushing game from the Bills especially when the Bears are coming off being the worst team against the run allowing an average of 5.3 yards per carry and 161+ yards per game. The Bills don’t need a passing attack against the Bears."

You don’t have to remind me of how bad the Bears run defense was last year. But they didn’t start giving up all those yards until after they lost 2 of their best defensive lineman to season ending injuries and were forced to sign guys off the street. The problem will be that the Bills are going to be forced into the passing game when the Bears start driving up the score with all of their offensive weapons. All smack talking aside, the Bills do have some offensive weapons other than CJ Spiller and Fred Jackson. How has Sammy Watkins looked so far this preseason and are you happy with the signing of Kyle Orton?
