Hall of Fame Game: Second Half Open Thread

Buffalo really needs some of these gimme turnovers this year. They didn’t get many last year and whether it’s the pass rush or just dumb luck, they need some throws to fall into some laps this year.

Corner making some plays…will it translate to starting time during the season?

You’re expecting a pass rush from Jermaine McGhee?

getting the most catches/yardage in the hall of fame game is not a “lock”

So...

The Bills have Edwards, Fitzpatrick, Hamden, and Baker. The Titans have Collins, Young, Ramsey, and (whoa) Mortensen.

While not really starters for anyone now, it seems the Titans have invested in the security of their QB position. Trent, please don’t miss any games this coming season.
