BRAWNDO Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Yep, for a long time we'd go to Cleveland or they'd come up and we'd do some scrimmaging. I am betting we are looking at the Browns or Eagles. I don't think it'd be the Steelers. If not for Shanahan I would almost wonder about the Skins, too. Interesting the Pats like to scrimmage so many teams. I do not see them in the Bills Future, though.
marauderswr80 Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Basically our offense would run 10 to 15 plays against their defense then we would switch. Then maybe do goalline situations....then a few special teams reps...
You herd it hear last Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Interesting the Pats like to scrimmage so many teams. I do not see them in the Bills Future, though. yeah, they probably have enough video on us already. It was part of the 'family night' festivities at Lambeau back in 2005, and so successful that the Bills were high on making it an annual event with GB even back then, but the Packers declined because they didn't want an arrangement where they'd have to come to Buffalo in alternate years. Packers / Bills in Toronto every-other-year seems like a win for all, especially for ticket sales up dair eh?
San Jose Bills Fan Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 You saw a scrimmage at Edinboro University about 15 miles south of Erie. About equal distance for both the Bills & the Browns. I think they had a few scrimmages against each other there. I almost posted this. Good job.
JESSEFEFFER Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Yes, Edinboro has hosted more than one. Usually they were controlled "rookie" scrimmages which were populated by rookies, younger players, free agents, fringe roster players, etc. and at least one of these was with the Steelers. They alternated 10 play possessions and reset if they failed on a 3rd down conversion and they were not live on the QB. Also, they had one with the Packers at Fredonia St. in the mid 80's. Jan Stenerud played for Green Bay then. He was not a handsome "dude."
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 I sweem to remember doing this with the Browns quite a bit a few years back, correct? Here are my pics from that - back in 2004
nucci Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 I remember Edinboro being a popular scrimmage location for Bills-Browns
CowgirlsFan Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 A shame my team is in Oxnard! In the past, we have scrimmaged with the Raiders and the Chargers. A shame they don't scrimmage against the Giants. I believe they scrimmage near Albany.
billsintaiwan Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 i saw andre reed as a rookie make a great diving catch against the browns in a scrimmage at rich stadium. i went home and looked him up. told my dad he was awesome. i was ten, but it was a great catch.
Mango Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 I remember in the 90s when the Bills scrimmaged the Steelers and Empire televised it. It was really really boring. i miss Empire. I would kill for Buffalo sports network that is Andrew Peters and Rob Ray, or YNN
CowgirlsFan Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 I'd love it if the Bills came to Albany to scrimmage the G-Men. Somehow I just get the feeling that the G-Men think they are too good to scrimmage against the Bills!
ExiledInIllinois Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Interesting the Pats like to scrimmage so many teams. I do not see them in the Bills Future, though. LoL... Yeah, I wonder why they like to scrimmage many teams...
Mopreme Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Giants make sense. They practice only a few hours south at the Univ. of Albany.
Dorkington Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Bills v Browns scrimmages would be ideal, would like to see it myself.
