As to the Bills, I'd say the OL is the first issue. But their defensive front 7 as well. But they need help almost everywhere. Also, Allen needs experience, without having his confidence destroyed by going 0 for _ in wins, and seeing his name at the bottom of the QB ratings because he has no time to throw, and pockets continually collapse around him. He's not a statue, but he's not exactly Russell Wilson either.
I wouldn't exactly write off the Chargers in the AFC West just yet. They were very sloppy on offense and out of sync, plus Joey Bosa is their best defensive player and his absence on Sunday really showed. He'll miss this week as well, but should be back soon. Put it this way, even without Bosa, Melvin Ingram, their DE/OLB specialist still had three sacks in a losing cause.
I'm a huge Raiders fan, and it's good to see Gruden back, but I saw the same game you guys did. Play was uneven, their defense got tired, and Gruden so far seems way overconfident. Just seeing how excellent a marginally out of shape Kahlil Mack played for the Bears, in a system he didn't know, with teammates he didn't know, was a great example of what the Raiders lost. Their schedule isn't bad, but they really look like a 7-9 team.
BAL@CIN - The Ravens lit things up last week, but the Bengals looked good at times as well, and are at home.
