Head on over to the chat room tonight to talk about the Bills vs. Bears preseason game with your follow fans! Our chat room discussions are very well attended, so there will be plenty of fans to talk to about the game as it happens!

‘The first half tonight should look a lot like a regular-season game. Both teams are expected to let many starters play a full half and a bit of the third quarter. Teams generally play their first unit more in the third preseason game than the fourth in order to reduce the risk that starters enter the season opener banged up. “That’s the plan – the half and probably starting the third quarter, and see how many snaps we get in the third,” Bills coach Mike Mularkey said. “But even by mid-second quarter you’ll see (second-string) guys getting plugged in.”‘

‘”It’s the preseason,” Hutchinson said to Chicago reporters when asked whether his future was riding on tonight’s outing. “You make mistakes, you learn, you move on. That’s why they call it preseason. I’m going to get better.”‘

‘”He’s a bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter man,” said Bills new starting left guard, Bennie Anderson, who came over from the Baltimore Ravens. “Yeah he’s angry. I thought I was an angry man.”‘

‘”I ain’t saying nothing,” he said Monday while resting on a wooden bench outside the Halas Hall weight room as he removed equipment. “You can stand around all you want. I’m not going to say anything. Not this week. Not a word.”’
