Da Big Man Posted August 10, 2008 Author Posted August 10, 2008 And that's my cue to leave. I'll be back for the regular season. None the wiser
billybob Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Some Points 1. The Bills looked very much like last year- very good special teams, an OL that pass blocks fairly well and can't run block, a defense that looks scrappy but still can't stop 3rd down plays and wears down late in the game- two QBs that are each flawed in their own special way. 2. Hardy and Fine showed some nice qualities 3. Move Bell to LT now and Walker back to RT and Chambers to the bench 4. Peters might have to move to DT when he comes back
MikeInABQ Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 I make it a rule not to take anyone seriously who uses pics of hot babes in their avatars that aren't them. And the Bills' First Team Defense made our First Team Offense look actually good, if that's even possible. I make no predictions other than this, if they don't drastically improve at ALL areas, the Bills won't come NEAR the expectations of the most optimistic posters or media members and will be lucky to finish ahead of Miami.
devldog131 Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Wow, it's amazing that you guys can tell all this from 2 series in the first preseason game. The whole purpose of the preseason is to work out the bugs, that is what they are trying to do. Let the coaches (who, by the way, know far more about football than our buddies thurmanthomas and da big man here on TBD) do their jobs. Wait until the end of the season, or at least the actual season, to start pissing and moaning.

These guys get paid big money to play football. The new plays have nothing to do with poor passing and poor field vision, dropped passes and incomplete routes. New teammates on D dosen't equate ZERO pass rush and the inability to stop on third down and poor tackling, again. I've seen enough to know ,I've seen to much. You keep your cockeyed optimism we'll chat again mid-season when we are less than .500, em K
Lurker Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 And who did I insult? The intelligence of any NFL fan who's watched more than two pre-season opener's...
VOR Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Nope, I'll start bitching and moaning now. And we'll start ignoring you now. em K?
Guest dog14787 Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Our rookies had a positive impact on the game and thats a good thing Maybe we should go back to the Levy coaching Era to really understand what a preseason game is all about wich is evaluating players period, heck, I don't think we ever had a winning record in preseason yet we made it to four superbowls. So everyone thats ready to hit the panick button relax, geeesh, its the first preseason game against a pretty good NFC team playing in their second preseason game. How about that TD by Hardy, think about that because its not the first time Hardy is going to reel in TD's and make it look easy with someone crawling up his back. I wanted Malcom Kelly in the draft, luckily our scouts and front office had better ideas, much better ideas. We picked up two awesome, awesome weapons in Hardy and Mckelvin and we seen glimpses of what both of them will do, awesome stuff

PromoTheRobot Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 All I wills ay is the Bills weren't very good yesterday. No excuses. No predictions. They looked bad yesterday, and they looked bad in all 4 2007 pre-season games too. Take it for what its worth. PTR
Stenbar Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 A couple of my thoughts the day after.. 1 I dont think its panic time at St John Fisher but I wouldnt be surprised if there isnt some serious headscratching going on. 2. There will be some serious text messaging between Whitner and Peters this week..
MarkAF43 Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Whitner is a good player, the other two are average hmmm really? Cause i think plenty of people would disagree with calling McGee average

There will be some serious text messaging between Whitner and Peters this week.. Trent Edwards might even drop him a line because he's one of the biggest pieces of the puzzle, without him our O-line becomes average at best and gets man handled, it makes zero sense not to be negotiating.

I'm sure it would be much easier to negotiate if he would actually talk to the team. Hard to have talks when someone's not talking...
Da Big Man Posted August 11, 2008 Author Posted August 11, 2008 so you are saying it's a waste of time since we will be less than a .500 team, we shouldn't even bother playing the games? ok got it buddy What a jerk!
