Fadingpain Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Don't forget if they look good, it's only preseason. If they suck, the season is over. You mean if they look bad, it's only preseason. If they win big, we are going undefeated.
Magox Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Don't forget if they look good, it's only preseason. If they suck, the season is over. Well, that's sort of how it's gone. Except the looking good in preseason part.
eball Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) You mean if they look bad, it's only preseason. If they win big, we are going undefeated. No, he's talking about the resident "realists" on the board, but for each group (optimists and pessimists) there are a few gems that always hold true for preseason: If either the offense or defense look good, the pessimists will claim it's because the opponent was playing "vanilla" schemes and didn't game plan. If either the offense or defense look bad, the optimists will claim the Bills didn't game plan and they're just trying to evaluate individual players. You can count on all of this being posted after Thursday night's game. Edited August 9, 2017 by eball
The Wiz Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Nah. They've looked good in preseason only to suck in the regular season at times. And they've sucked in the preseason but looked better in the regular season at times. Preseason means absolutely nothing. It's a complete waste to judge a team on the preseason. Individual performances, maybe. preseason is for getting some live action and finding the last 4-5 guys to fill out the roster.
yungmack Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Don't forget if they look good, it's only preseason. If they suck, the season is over.Ain't that the truth.
K-9 Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Nah. They've looked good in preseason only to suck in the regular season at times. And they've sucked in the preseason but looked better in the regular season at times. Preseason means absolutely nothing. It's a complete waste to judge a team on the preseason. Individual performances, maybe. It's all about individual performances. Can you beat the guy lined up in front of you. That simple.
Royale with Cheese Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Nah. They've looked good in preseason only to suck in the regular season at times. And they've sucked in the preseason but looked better in the regular season at times. Preseason means absolutely nothing. It's a complete waste to judge a team on the preseason. Individual performances, maybe. It's not a maybe for individual performances, it's a for sure. There are players battling for positions on this and every team. This is a time for them to showcase.
HappyDays Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Sure. It can be deceiving. We saw Merriman dominate a few years back in preseason only to blow come week 1. Or the opposite, Darby looking like crap in preseason and then playing like the DROY. Preseason is pretty close to meaningless.
Bangarang Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Or the opposite, Darby looking like crap in preseason and then playing like the DROY. Preseason is pretty close to meaningless. Lions went 4-0 in the preseason only to go 0-16 in the regular season.
Royale with Cheese Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Lions went 4-0 in the preseason only to go 0-16 in the regular season. The score is meaningless. The way some players perform has some merit. Not like Shady, KW, Hughes, Watkins etc....we know what they can do. Battles like Dawkins/Mills, linebackers, nickel corner, 4-6 WR will have meaning in preseason.
Roundybout Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 I just want to see how Peterman looks in game situations.
Royale with Cheese Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Sure. It can be deceiving. We saw Merriman dominate a few years back in preseason only to blow come week 1. Okay great. He doesn't fall into the non-starters batting for a job.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 9, 2017 Author Posted August 9, 2017 WHAT TO WATCH FOR: BILLS-VIKINGS It’s the preseason debut under head coach Sean McDermott and there’s a specific thing that Buffalo’s sideline boss wants his players focused on Thursday night. GAME DAY EXPERIENCE INFORMATION: PRESEASON WEEK 1 The Buffalo Bills will host the Minnesota Vikings to kick off the preseason at New Era Field on Thursday, Aug. 10. Here’s a full breakdown of what you need to know.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 9, 2017 Author Posted August 9, 2017 Eric Wood: "We've started faster" (13:32) Bills center Eric Wood discussed how the offense has progressed through training camp so far. He also talked about the advantages of returning all five offensive line starters from the previous year and how it helps the Buffalo run game. @billsequipment White jerseys white pants tomorrow night at home Go #Bills
3rdand12 Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Or the opposite, Darby looking like crap in preseason and then playing like the DROY. Preseason is pretty close to meaningless. well executed counter blow. Darby was abysmal and Thought we were going to have another early Leodis to shade our eyes from. Ron played very decently that first season It's all about individual performances. Can you beat the guy lined up in front of you. That simple. True enough. But as i read somewhere, this is the first "game This Coaching Staff has Ever Coached together. So i think there will be a Coaches tape they review post Vikings. for real maybe. lol. 11 11 11. just remember that number Sean.Always get 11 on the the field. Not Ten, Nor Twelve. and thirteen is right out
The Wiz Posted August 10, 2017 Posted August 10, 2017 I'm excitedYou're excited?!? Feel my nipples!!!
BillsFan4 Posted August 10, 2017 Posted August 10, 2017 Can't believe the Bills play their first (preseason) game tomorrow! Super excited to see what the offense and defense look like. I'm not expecting them to show much, but it'll still be exciting none the less. I'm just so happy football season is here (just about, anyway).
CNY315 Posted August 10, 2017 Posted August 10, 2017 You're excited?!? Feel my nipples!!! Have a seat sir
