Beyond the Playbook: Bills prepare for home opener

Some are calling Sunday's game the most anticipated season opener in recent Buffalo Bills history. Beyond the Playbook analyst Matt Sabuda expects the team, and the fans, to be ready.

The Bills have a winning record in their all-time series against the Indianapolis Colts, Sunday's opponent. But, as Matt Sabuda points out, the Colts have dominated recently, winning seven of the last eight meetings. During that time, the Colts have featured star quarterbacks, Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck.

Meanwhile, the Bills search for a franchise quarterback continues. On Sunday, they'll turn to first-time starter Tyrod Taylor. Sabuda believes Taylor needs to avoid critical mistakes and allow the team's dominant defense to control the game.
