Coming at you
I know it's preseason, but the Bills WR group is off the hook good. Crowder will be lucky to be WR 5. Shakir is going to be the slot receiver by mid season. Too good not to be on the field.

There is NO WAY Steelers should start Pickett with how terrible that offensive line is. They should start Trubisky and let him get killed, and protect the future.
