Very interesting 1st preseason game. Enough for McD and other coaches to now make changes. So far so good , but Allen needs time with the ones next preseason game.

 

10 penalties for 69 yds not to bad.

You may be a fan for over 29 years, but you've apparently been with a keyboard for about 7 or 8 minutes.

 

Sorry. Just bustin' balls. Not only do I agree with what you wrote, let me add may I mommy dog face to the banana patch.

 

 

Is that paraphrasing from the movie PCU?

 

Either way doesn't make a difference...I can't stop laughing.

WOW! Seeing it from that angle.....that is damn impressive.

 

Also, good catch by McCloud.

I like the DB looking back after it's completed like "Wait, what just happened?"

Overall ... very happy with what I saw last night (final score aside) ... so what if Carolina's 3rd stringers are better than ours

 

Offense

- Liked the new offensive playcalling

- Kelvin's play .. looking forward to Coleman/Zay in game 2

- OL .. Teller ..liked what I saw (he's got a nasty streak) and Newhouse's block on the TD run opening the hole was awesome

- Agree with starting either Nate/AJ .. but wow given time Josh's arm ... that first throw of the 2nd half .... only if real receiver out there

- Marcus Murphy ...giddyup ... nice hard running

- Cut Foster

 

Defense

- Harrison Phillips ... yea boy

- Starting Defense (net of covering screens/dump offs) looked good ... love our secondary

- Holy cow ... Shaq showed up

- Edmunds looks huge sitting there in the middle ... think the butterflies took over last night ... look forward to more in future games

 

Kelvin was right ... saw last night .. Cam can't hit the broadside of a barn.

 

Was stuck watching the Panther's Broadcast as I live in NC ... Mick Mixon the play by play (who I'm not a fan of anyway)  .. ended the first quarter by saying end of the 1st quarter from New Era field .. in Erie County Pennsylvania ... YES Pennsylvania .... guess its preseason for the broadcasters as well.

I didn't really have an opinion before tonight's game. But now I'm definitely not a fan of how they are managing Allen.

 

You invest all this draft capital in him, say you might red shirt him, he's the future. Then you play him behind an oline of all guys you're going to cut. If you're going to red shirt him, red shirt him. I don't want him out their behind a bunch of bums taking hits for no reason. It's pointless. He had little to no help tonight, I'm not even sure how you can evaluate a lot of what he did tonight given what he's working with.

 

Remember when Rex was ridiculed for playing Sanchez behind a bunch of bums and got hurt? How about that going for it on 4th down play? That had that bs written all over it.

 

But whatever, it's McDermott, not Ryan. So it can't be the same.

Wow, loaded with hot takes. I'll assume it was past your bedtime. 

 

I saw enough to know that while he is an inexperienced rookie Allen wasn't rattled. I saw that his arm is as advertised. I saw that as an inexperienced rookie QB he'll sometimes make head scratching decisions.  If you want to blame someone for the 3rd stringers then I suppose you can choose Beane. You would prefer Peterman play behind that line? Why? You would prefer McCaron play behind that line? Why?  You don't see any reason to go for it on 4th down? Your final sentence is worthy of only one response :sick:

I'm in NC too. Was it just me or did the Panthers announcers seem enamored with Allen?

McCloud didn't catch it.  Allen impaled him with it.

Let's not forget a key detail.  All three QBs had touchdown drives.  Bills' preseason touchdown drives used to have the same odds as a unicorn getting struck by lightning...

The Buffalo Bills played their first preseason game of 2018, and Joe Buscaglia and Matthew Fairburn discuss how the quarterbacks looked, and if Josh Allen did anything to change the minds of the coaching staff. Plus, some non-QB standouts from the game, and the return of our favorite postgame segment!

Writing “5 Takeaways” and showing Peterman could give some people around here a hernia if they didn’t know the context of the post lol.

Was thinking the same. Not a physical corner. EJ Gaines was very physical CB

 

Brought this up to say how I noticed Siran Neal laid the smackdown late in the game, in contrast to Davis' weak tackling.

1) The mental pressure and expectations on him are less when he's playing the game with the 3's.  Gives him time to get his NFL game feet.  I like this approach.  

2) He's in the fire, running for his life but showing confidence and learning under the harshest of conditions.  He'll come out battle tested and ready.  In other words- excellent training .  

3) When he's ready to play with the starters, he will have earned it.
