Hollister has some wheels, Trubisky was excellent. Some excellent D lineman are gonna get cut. Anyone else catch Zimmer chase down the receiver on the bubble screen?

Another average showing by Brieda, other than the almost touchdown. 

Brieda looks like you have to use him to his specific strengths, struggles outside that.

Congratulations MITCH, That HAD TO FEEL GOOD!!

Would like to hear his postgame presser😎

The Bills are a deep well coached football team. The depth is growing. This is how you build sustainable success. It was so weird listening to the Bears talk about how teams are going to raid this roster, especially WR. WR was such a weakness just a few years ago.

Ran the ball well…Mitch looked solid…had a special teams td….and even the 3rd stringers on D made Justin Fields realize he was in the NFL…all in all solid solid game

Can’t wait to get home and watch this on dvr!!

“It was actually kind of slow to me” - Justin Fields, talking about NFL game speed.

 

”9/19, 80 yards, 2 sacks” -Justin Fields against the Bills 3rd and 4th string defense.

Is that a quote from today or last week?

 

Very Tua-esque...

[Rc2catch]

That was a really impressive showing. Preseason or not, anytime your backups can go out and DOMINATE another teams starters you have a lot to look forward to. Mitch showed some skills in a good offensive scheme (shots fired at you Nagy) 

Rousseau shouldn’t even play the last game and go into bubble wrap. I think we will see a lot of our cuts on other teams 53 opening day. Let’s just skip Green Bay and go to week 1.

Buffalo has the best 1-2 QB punch in the league.

 

No need for a #3 QB

 Last week. Just a dumb thing to say after a pre season game. He may very well turn out to be a stud. But I’m glad he was less than great today after that.

Some really interesting decisions to come. Tons of depth on this team that could play significant roles for other teams. Stevenson’s injury may make him IR eligible for redshirt getting us to 6 WRs and making that decision easier. Same with Hodgins. 
 

DE may be harder. Ideally Basham goes but we all know they aren’t cutting a 2nd rounder. I’m thinking Obada or Johnson gets traded at some point 

you want a 2nd rounder who had a great game today cut? At least one sack, many pressures and a blocked kick. Guessing you’re joking?

   This whole offseason has been about D line for me. Today was another affirmation of their marked improvement.

   I am so happy to have Trubisky this year!!!!!!

[DCbillsfan]

I was focused on the Bills oline. The starting 5 was Dawkins, Feliciano, Bates, Ford, and Brown.  Brown played a few series at RT and moved over to LT.  Doyle came in at RT for Brown.  Hart came in later and was called for holding on a play.  Looks like Hart was dropped down the depth chart.

 

Both Morse and Darryl Williams sat out this game.  Boettger played both LG and RG.  

 

Looks like Bills are leaning towards 9 OL.  Dawkins, Feliciano, Morse, Ford, Williams, Boettger, Brown, Doyle, and Bates.

Do yourself a favor and watch #50 every time he's on the field. Unreal performance for a rookie after a year off from football.

I hope so, I really want him to succeed.

I don't usually watch preseason games much past the 1st half, but this game was exiting enough to keep me watching to the end.

Bills are going to have some tough cuts.

Loved Epeneza bullrush and stiff arm on the LT, and hit on Dalton. (Made me jump out ofmy chair)Our DL looks much improved from last year.

A lot of our cuts will be signed elsewhere

you will love a lot of what you see. Guys making cut decisions hard.

[Draconator]

Bobby Hart didn't stand out this game. That is a good thing.

Can’t fix everything, but it would be nice if we could turn the longest held weakness in nfl history into a strength.   Bill starting tight end.  Knox with another drop.  No one is surprised.  I really like hollister as a pass catcher, but he’s more WR than TE imo.  Hopefully he can improve as a blocker.
