Bill from NYC Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) 1) Tuel to Easley reminds me of Fitz to SJ. This is a GOOD thing. They played together as scrubs and developed a chemistry. This is a great thing to see. 2) Am I the only one who thought that Crezdon Butler had a very interesting game? 3) Ron Brooks was awful. If he doesn't play twice as good as he did today, he will not make this roster. 4) I sent a letter to am man I know, It said, "One for the money, two for the show." I waited all summer for his reply, He said, "3 to get ready and 4 TO FLY." 5) Manuel? He was every bit as I could have hoped for and more. 6) Welch at LT? Sorry but no. His play resembled that of Raquel. 7) This team has some receivers, no? There are too many to keep. Seriously, they were doing this without Stevie Johnson taking away coverage. They can't keep them all, and I hope that they are able to get draft picks for a couple of them. As a Bills Fan, this was actually strange to watch. 8) Goodwin? OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! He looked like McKelvin with a brain and football instincts!!!!! If his returns can stay anywhere close to what he did today, I don't really care if he ever catches a pass. The 106 yard TD was just that sick! 9) Glenn and Dareus looked out of shape. I guess this is normal for huge players, but it concerns me. 10) Hairston and Pears are not as bad as most of you think that they are. 11) Aaron Williams was surprisingly not bad at safety. Bear in mind that I never saw him play a good game at corner, and have always viewed him as an unthinkably dumb draft choice. 12) Who is this guy Kaufman? 13) GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

San Jose Bills Fan Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Hi Bill. I'm having a hard time digesting all this euphoria. Trying to stay grounded. So far failing. Kudos to you for having rationale thoughts!
Meatloaf Sandwich Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 14) Pettine didn't let up once today. DC with balls.
Fixxxer Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 14) Being proactive instead of reactive is a new way of playing football in Buffalo.

Optometric Insight Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 I was not expecting to see this today! Pleasant surprise! I love how the receivers played, makes me wonder how many we are gonna keep.
Malazan Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 The Colts announcers complained about former Bill Sheppard's ability to cover. They said he is going to need to improve. Hughes won that battle today.
K-9 Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Played like Racquel? Line of the year there! LOL! GO BILLS!!!
Bill from NYC Posted August 11, 2013 Author Posted August 11, 2013 And did you hear Warren Sapp gushing about Mario? And he was right. Mario is far and away the best player on this team!!!
Enemarty Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Have to disagree on no. 6. As you should know Bill, in her day, Raquel Welch at LT would have stopped any and all D-linemen in their tracks! That said, yeah, he didn't impress. I was also pleased by the fact that pretty much every catchable pass was caught.
billsfanmiami(oh) Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Loved what I saw from the D just purely from a schematic standpoint. What a difference. Looks like shockingly its gonna be hard to cut down our receivers. CJ looked just like last year minus the fumble, and Fred looked like his old self on that pass play in the red zone. Loved the fact that guys were playing hard till the final whistle. Also liked how EJ settled in a bit after the early jitters and had a great 2 min drill. Going to be an exciting season I think with some ups and downs, but looks like a different attitude which is good. Go Bills!
Best Player Available Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Your observation #3 is a concern.
Bill from NYC Posted August 11, 2013 Author Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) Kudos to you for having rationale thoughts! Robert Hunter lyrics keep things grounded LOL!!! Edited August 11, 2013 by Bill from NYC
K-9 Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 And did you hear Warren Sapp gushing about Mario? And he was right. Mario is far and away the best player on this team!!! Mario got pissed at his fellow D today. Just before they converted a first down with a 5 yard run, he was waving his arms trying to get the DL to shift but they didn't listen. He was visibly pissed after the play, too. This passion is nice to see from our best defensive player. And he is, no matter who says differently. GO BILLS!!!
davspo Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Kudo's to the coaching staff- young guys are putting together a good group of men- I have been to camp a couple of times this year. It feels so different. The players are really working hard and playing for each other. I'm not thinking playoffs, but I am thinking this could be the start of something special.
Kevin Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Thank you for posting this again Bill. One of the few posts I look forward to every game day.
BuffOrange Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Going for it on 4th and goal? LOVE IT!!! Mike Schopp is going to talk about this tomorrow and I want to beat him to the punch: other than Toule this was my favorite part of the game. There is a difference between a 10 & 13 pt lead contrary to what a lot of fans say. But that difference is mostly offset by field position when the opponent takes over on their 5 after a 4th down fail (as opposed to their 20-25 after a FG). This is pretty basic math that 95%+ of NFL coaches fail miserably at. I hope they didn't go for it just because "it's preseason".
