Bookie Man Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 I love betting on preseason games. Usually fade the Bills. This year I'm taking them every game. My prediction is they go 3-1 ATS.
Buftex Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 I actually kind of enjoy pre-season games...at least the first 3. You follow the teams moves all off-season, and you start to think about players they added...my curiosity is piqued, even though a lot of the guys end up getting cut. This pre-season I am really looking forward to seeing Tyree Jackson, Duke Williams and TJ Yeldon. Jackson will be particularly interesting to me. And of course, I want to see a few nice plays from Allen...but not too many. Keep that kid healthy. 1
FLbills Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 I agree with the OP. I too like to see my team win whenever they suit up. To me, it gives reason for optimism. Wether it be evaluating depth players, game management, or anything to do with the team. I understand that the W-L record during the preseason is last thing to factor in, if at all. IMO it shows that the team can work together and execute the most basic of schemes and perform. 1

Just seems like for years now we have been making the 3rd string Lions Qb Look like Joe Montana. So,how often,in the regular season,is our 3rd string defense going to play against a 3rd string QB? The REGULAR season is what matters.
HOUSE Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) In Marv Levy's entire time in Buffalo, how many preseason games did the Bills win? Answer: 1 .. Edited July 20, 2019 by HOUSE
without a drought Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 The Pro Bowl would be better if the teams had more depth.

How’s that new property in the Everglades you bought? ? On 7/18/2019 at 2:11 PM, RoyBatty is alive said: I think you can actually tel a lot from pre-season. When Rex was coach there were ominous signs during pre-season games, miscommunication, late substitutions, mis-use of the replay....and he actually tried to win them Wait, that was his regular season modus operandi as well.
Saxum Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 What I want to see is penalties, especially pre-snap penalties are reduced in TC showing that players understand system they are playing in.

Mr. WEO Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 I’m betting they will shield Peterman from the opposing teams’ starters....

I think this is a direct result of the lack of depth the team has had due to the cap situation. I never like to watch my team lose. I know it doesn’t matter and there is other factors at play that may for the team be more important. Do you expect this year for the Bills to be more competitive in the preseason matchups? I think it's a result of the Bills not taking them seriously, and using them to evaluate depth players. I think it's possible the roster is a bit more set and we may use them more to teach the game, which would be a Good Thing, but whether we're competitive or not...Meh
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 I want to see how Barkley looks. He was excellent against the Jets last year and really gave me hope for the depth of the position going forward. I’d like to see him back it up, even if it’s just preseason.

You care about winning and losing in preseason games? You’re serious? I can’t begin to fathom that but if you are serious then yes I think this year will be better based on the number of quality signings the team has made. But really what you should care about, the only thing, is getting the starters and significant role players through these farces healthy and whole for the regular season.

I like football. I know it doesn’t matter and that the games are glorified practice. I find it odd that guys will be on here all offseason talking about who they think will be the 6th receiver on the team or TE or RB depth and then want to tune out when they get to showcase their skills and try to make a life for themselves. I also have a lot of friends from all over the country and it is fun to rib them when we beat them even in the preseason. It is even funnier to tease them over preseason games because they don’t count. I also like to see the Bills win. I think the overall depth of the team has improved and we will have a competitive training camp. I think guys will be thinking they have a shot to make the team. Obviously you don’t want anyone hurt and obviously the teams starters need cohesion. People here spend hours writing up topics on the team and then talk about going and mowing their lawns and not watching it all play out... that’s very strange to me.

I do, but I'm late putting the Summer Guard down. I'd do it tomorrow, but it's gonna be too hot. Do you bag when you mow? I don't. 1 1

As far as the rest of it goes I have my own business so by the time I mow I am just trying to get it done. Appreciate your passion. Horticulture is a under appreciated science.

I'd rather have a nice looking lawn than have the Bills win a preseason game. 1
