Buffalo Bills vs. Chicago Bears: Live Score & Analysis for Buffalo

The start of the NFL season is finally here, and there may not be a team happier about that than the Buffalo Bills. It has been a tumultuous offseason, to say the least, from the passing of Ralph Wilson to a lackluster preseason, which has raised more concerns about EJ Manuel. There was even a report this week from CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora of fighting between Doug Marrone and the Bills front office.

The Bills can put this all behind them starting at 1 p.m. ET when they take the field against the Chicago Bears. A win against the Bears won't fix all of the Bills' problems, but it certainly would help answer some of the questions surrounding the team.

The biggest question coming into this game is the Bills offense and what exactly it will look like. In an article by ESPN's Mike Rodak, Coach Marrone said, "We really haven’t put a lot in, as far as trying to game plan and everything like that. I hate to lean on that as an excuse for [the offense's performance], but we really showed absolutely nothing."

The defense has looked much better than the offense this preseason and has shown marked improvement against the run from a season ago. The Bears offense, led by QB Jay Cutler, is extremely talented and will be a good first test to see exactly how good the Bills defense actually is.
