Actually it appears it is helping the paranoia. What you mean to say it is not helping to control the paranoia. 1

Take an hour for lunch and then at 2 he (and fat brudder) is done. 🤨 Actually, apparently Bad Santa has much more of a work ethic than his brother, he just flat out sucks as a coach. My bother-in-law's neighbor was on the Saints training staff when Otis was their DC. He apparently gave an intern $1000/wk to keep a drawer in his desk stocked with junk food. Despite appearances, and brother Wrex's well described lassitude, by all accounts he was apparently more of the stereotypical "last guy out of the building" workaholic type. I was wearing my Bills hat in a Rouses (think NOLA Wegmans light) when one of the butchers and I started talking football and he brought up the lesser known Ryan brother and his exploits. He apparently bought wine and spirits the same way he bought candy. Seems like he was quite the caricature. 1

I certainly wouldn’t risk my best players for meaningless games. I’d roll the starting OL for 2 series or 7-8 minutes of time in game 1 and build them to just over a half for game 3, Diggs and Allen would be in the owners suite until game 3 and I’d sprinkle in Beasley and Sanders just to give MT a fair chance, but not much. The rest of the guys are competing, so let them go out there and show it. You play your starters in week two I think as there are tons of injuries that take about a week to ten days to heal. Rest them week three....

TheFunPolice Posted August 6, 2021 Posted August 6, 2021 I'm scared to death of what Jared Goff is going to do to us, even in limited action. 2
billsfan89 Posted August 6, 2021 Posted August 6, 2021 If this were regular season I would be worried but given that it is pre-season I really doubt they are going to be taking shots. Also the starters won't play much so in general it isn't too much to worry about.

No one played any preseason last year and the football was just fine in week #1. Guys get plenty of reps in practice and training camp scrimmages. Guys like Josh, Diggs, Dawkins, Tre, etc.. should not see one snap of preseason ball.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted August 6, 2021 Posted August 6, 2021 Don’t worry. The Refs will deal with it. 😬
MJS Posted August 6, 2021 Posted August 6, 2021 Well, if we can't handle the Lions in a preseason game, we have a lot to be worried about for the regular season. We have to face the Chiefs again and that's a dirty team.
Buffalo03 Posted August 6, 2021 Posted August 6, 2021 What I found funny about Dan Campell is, I was listening to Siriusxm fantasy football last night and they played a clip of Dan Campbell talking about De'Andre Swift and Campbell referred to him as "this Swift guy". It was like he had no clue who his starting RB was lol

I'm referring to a meathead coach trying to "instill toughness" in his team...what better chance than in the first preseason game against a legit SB contender? My concern is not "handling" the Lions -- the game is irrelevant. My apprehension is in fringe NFL players trying to please their maniacal coach by pushing the limits.

My concern is not "handling" the Lions -- the game is irrelevant. My apprehension is in fringe NFL players trying to please their maniacal coach by pushing the limits. That's what I'm talking about. I'm not talking about winning, I'm talking about handling them and not allowing them to get away with dirty stuff. It's up to our players and the refs to not allow that kind of stuff. We're going to be facing dirty teams in the regular season.
Cheektowaga Chad Posted August 6, 2021 Posted August 6, 2021 First pre season would be the best time to play a hard hitting team. The roster size is still large plus its furthest away from the opener
JakeFrommStateFarm Posted August 6, 2021 Posted August 6, 2021 I've heard the lions Oline uses a zone cut blocking scheme. Hopefully we won't lose 3 of our starting Dline on a meaningless preseason game !
BigAl2526 Posted August 6, 2021 Posted August 6, 2021 When you have the kind of continuity the Bills nave been able to achieve during the Sean McDermott tenure, you have less reason to play starters in preseason. I could see Buffalo playing Cody Ford and Dawson Knox among players expected to start on offense, but not many more. On defense, I think Levi Wallace and Dane Jackson will get some preseason playing time, as will the younger defensive linemen: Rousseau, Basham, Epenesa, Phillips etc. Otherwise, there will be a lot of players from the back of the roster.
