According to my internet guide: NFL Preseason Football WHAM-DT - 13 - Thu, 8/19, 7:30 PM 3 hrs "Indianapolis Colts at Buffalo Bills from Ralph Wilson Stadium" 8/19/2010, Live, Sports, National Football League, Nfl Game, Nfl Preseason Game Of course the location is wrong, but the game is listed anyway Hmmm do blackout rules apply to preseason? I wouldn't think so, but the greed of the NFL seems to have no limits so it could. I just sent them email and asked.

That usually isn't known until at best a few hours before the broadcast when they activate the feed for testing. Sometimes as little as one hour before the game. This is a good place to monitor starting a few hours before the game. Ricks Wildfeeds

I think it is ridiculous to have any "swagger" when you suck ass. You should only show that as you are proving people wrong. And unfortunately, the Bills do not seem to be capable of doing that yet.

Good in theory ... but there are only 4 preseason games

It is true what they said about the Bills right now, like it or not. But one thing I noticed during the game is also true. The only time Gruden took Sanchez's dick out of his mouth was to replace it with Rex Ryan's. I've never seen such a man crush before.

Keep in mind that Fitz played strictly against the skins scrubs as well. Not saying I disagree with your comment, you just need to compare apples to apples

That's probably where I would have put it it it wasn't for that bonehead 4th and 1 coaching embarrassment. Because of that I'd probably be in the upper 30's. But in concept I agree with you.

Cut Fitz ... Ralph needs the money. Start Trent and keep either Brohm or Brown, whichever Gailey thinks he can do the most with. Put Brohm or Brown in if trent gets hurt, or midseason if Trent still continues to show nothing.

Chan added a new twist actually. Wasting a timeout at the end of it all instead of taking the 5 yard penalty at midfield thus helping to use all timeouts with 8 minutes (almost) left in the half. That was DJ worthy. Of course if whoever called the timeout learned not to ever !@#$ing do that again in their lives, then it was worth the brain fart in preseason.

The same O that will start against Indy in a few days. That starting O. I know I know, God and the officials are against the Bills. If only that wasn't true, we would be awesome.

Well the first game that really matters. Very true. We can only hope the Bills team from Friday night does not show up that day.

Like all games. You get over it at kickoff of the next one.

The skins are doing the same things (not sure about the "youth" part). I'm not saying you shouldn't Billieve. I just think it is time we stop blaming God, the officials, and a international conspiracy against the Bills is all. When we play great, revel in it. But when we suck, say we sucked. Stop making excuses.

Well I guess I can't argue with that. But Chan does need to figure out who to cut. And I don't think 90% of the team is a viable option

You are actually much easier on this team than any unbiased person would be. We were totally and completely outplayed from start to finish. I'm really tired of the bad call, officials are against us bull ****. Been hearing it for the last 10 years and it is !@#$ing bull ****. Just admit it, we sucked. Yes it was preseason game number one. But please admit it, we were outplayed. Not screwed by the officials or God. We sucked. Please. Don't hide behind "true fan" nonsense. See it for what it was. A horribly played and coached preseason game. No more but certainly no less either. And for the record, it was not just a bad product on the field. But a disgustingly horrible product. The good news is, there is nowhere to go but up from that performance.

Starters more? Good Lord the starting O played almost the entire first half. I think the starting D was out there that long as well but I am not sure. How much more do you want the starters to play in a preseason game?

Realistic, positive, and hopefully attainable.

With the exception of #1, the same things were true for the skins as well. And as to #1, that in itself is concerning, preseason or not. And as far as #5 goes, our starters played about a quarter longer than theirs did. I understand where you are coming from and yes, it is only preseason. But to the people who think the Bills were going to have a big turnaround this season, that game was a punch in the gut (or a little further south). Rationalizations always abound after the Bills play like that. Preseason or regular season. But if the roles were reversed and we put the ass whoopin on them, would you have been saying chill it is only preseason. Or "Chan just showed why he is a proven winner", or "the get tough attitude in camp is really paying off" ?

And a team that had a worse record than we did last year I believe.

Too many bad things to make a full list, particularly when you consider our first string O played deep into the 2nd quarter, and I believe Washingtons 2nd string D played the 2nd quarter. My biggest reality check came when it occurred to me that it looked like I was watching game 17 of last season instead of a team with a new direction. Particularly the clock management in the first half. That nonsense 4th and 1 and calling a timeout, then being out of timeouts with just under 8 minutes left in the half. Jauron ball part deux. The good things I saw were the punting (still ... and thank God), the running backs looked respectable, and the biggest thing was that it was preseason game 1. Chan has not been a head coach for a while and has not been a head coach at the NFL level for a long while. I'll give him that game as a brain fart but he better by God improve before the regular season.

I have good luck with http://www.justin.tv or http://ch131.com/ for streaming. Can be hit or miss though in terms of quality. Have any friends with directv or dish? You bring the beer?

True enough, but that is 1 game. And if I remember right, the media wrote that off as Sanchez sucked balls (which he did if I remember correctly). You have to start to win those games consistently, not just a "fluke" one off game.

Yeah I think they are in some kind of pissing contest over customer pricing. NFL wants it to be on a paid tier and TW wants it to be on basic cable, or visa-verse. Another option is to switch to dish network or directv, not sure about getting it before tonight tho

I actually didn't mean it to be an insult at all. I have always used the term geriatric in a medical context, which is simply an aged person. Seeing as how he will be 72 this season, I don't think that is out of line. December 6 as a matter of fact. Maybe the team will give him a present on the 5th and beat the Vikings? Dare to dream
