Wow we have -5 passing yards

And no turnovers!  It's like Tyrod to the power of 10!

[Buddy Hix]

Davis make a play too!

[K-9]

Perhaps Edmunds' best series as a pro so far. 

[Rocky Landing]

Davis looking better.

At least McD acknowledges that Allen didn't get much help in that first half. Now let's hope that he and Beane do something about it before the season starts. 

I doubt they will as there won’t be much available

Let the process begin now

[The Final Word]

I feel it is my role to provide clarity to the multitude of erroneous commentary by fair weather Bills fans and offer the final word. I know many of you have been consuming an enormous amount of adult beverages prior to the opening whistle and your dream of grandeur of watching the second coming on Jim Kelly and folks it simply did not materialize for you so with one half of the third preseason game , the weak minded have already thrown in the towel for the year. Let me offer the final word for you in regard to the upcoming gridiron season. The Bills will be better this year but will not make the playoffs. Let me communicate very slowly here, despite our yearning for a repeat from last year, we will improve as a football team and not regress but will not make the playoffs. We must trust the process and connect a variety of input from many sources to get there.  So please, take a deep breath, enjoy the game.  We are going to win 7 games and we will be competitive but this is only the second year of the McDermott and beane tenure and the best is yet to come.   Do not despair, I will be with this site through the year proving insight and calming the seas b

How do you evaluate this "performance" coach?

[Steptide]

Well one thing we haven't seen today is McDermott clapping

Goal for first drive if second half: let's get out of negative passing yards?

[ThunderGun]

At the point I’m pretty sure everybody is aware that this team is not making the SuperBowl, agreed???

 

Trade Shady for some OL help if it’s there, or at least a decent draft pick so the Line can be addressed in the draft.  He still has value to a team looking to win now (draft pick in that scenario).  If somehow this team plays it’s way into wildcard contention, ride with Ivory, Murphy and whoever is picked up on cut down day.

 

Comb the waiver wire for DBs, Vontae has hit the wall... hard.

 

Trade Clay for whoever will take that contract. Keep Lee, Croom, O’Leary and Thomas. Literally will not miss him.

Trade AJ for Barkley

This is good news. Just gotta hope our opponents play their second stringers against us all season!

[OldTimeAFLGuy]

...McD told Pam Oliver he saw "a couple of good plays on defense"...pretty sure Pam meant Bflo......

Oline is an issue on 25 or more teams right now. Any quality out there will have heavy competition for their service.

Yeah, but the O line is so bad that almost certainly somebody will get cut who's better than Newhouse/Bodine/Ducasse.
