Not thrilled the Bills face Detroit in their first preseason action…

The first game is all 3rd teamers usually

 

I thought the starters usually played a few series in the 1st preseason, a quarter in the 2nd, a half in the third.

 

Now with only three games, who knows?

This could simply be me worrying about something I shouldn’t, but is anyone else less than enthusiastic the Bills play the “kneecap biters” in their first game?  That coach of theirs is a lunatic and in his first game as HC you can bet he’ll have his players wanting to make a name for themselves and “set the tone.”  I have visions of head shots, late hits, and somebody rolling up on our franchise’s leg.

 

I hope we play the starters for a series and then put them in bubble wrap.

 

 

Ugh, now that you mention it, yes. I do not like that.

how do you people manage to go outside on a daily basis without having a complete breakdown? 

 

Are you telling me Dan Campbell is hiding in my front landscaping, waiting to knee cap me?!?

 

Great! One more thing to worry about!

[BillsShredder83]

This dude looks like the dumbest hire I've seen in a really long time. He's one panini press away from Michael Scott of the NFL 

[JakeFrommStateFarm]

Not to worry. Fromm is ready !

Why would anyone bite a knee cap ?

 

Because they are too short to bite anything else?

I heard Gregg Williams is acting as an unpaid consultant to the Lions. 🤔

If he's unpaid, he's overpaid!

Who says I go outside?

[JMF2006]

I watched the Lions pre season hype video on their Fox affiliate.

 

Just raw raw stuff with Coach Campbell touring the River Rouge Ford plant and talking to a few workers about how tough the Lions would be.

 

( I  think he means to watch)

 

I am sure the Lions will not do anything dirty its pretty hard to make a team when your suspended

Why do we even need our starters to play a single series in the preseason games ? 

 

Truthfully, I don't think we do -- particularly not on offense.  But you know the coaches want to get them some "live action" before the season.

I suspect that veteran staters will be getting a lot less preseason playing time than we’re used to seeing.  I expect to see that league wide with some exceptions for new offenses

[RobbRiddick]

I'm sure diggs will run one route and spend the rest of the game flossing

I can understand your concern eball, but it Could happen on the first snap of the first regular season game just as easily, and we would be equally screwed, it is what it is, this fear of injury during preseason thing is a red herring, strawman type of thing, I for one am not worried at all. 
 

Go Bills!!!

Of course.  Injuries happen regardless.  It just struck me this morning that this is Detroit's first live action with that meathead as HC and I fear things getting more intense than should typically happen in the first preseason game.  The guy is a nut.

I’ll give you that, I would like to think that the “refs” would be keen to tamp down any excess activity to set the tone for the game, but sadly we all know how incompetent some ref groups can be…

 

Go Bills!!!

[snowbelt_subie]

none of the bills starters should play much so i wouldnt worry.

[RiotAct]

our first stringers will likely only be out there for one or two drives
