First offensive play of regular season...

[Pride]

Just curious what you all think!

[OpIv37]

it will be a pass because they will be trying to get JP some confidence. Willis already has all the confidence he needs and then some.

[RedEyE]

I'm your A#1 guy for a balanced conservative football team that is run dominate first, pass second.

BUT...

...the Pats will expect McGahee on 1st down and load the box. This immediatly sets up the play action pass audible as Evans could end up in one on one coverage downfield. Doesn't have to be a huge play. Just big enough to send a message to the Patriots defense keeping them honest at least the rest of the 1st qrtr.

[BillsNick]

You know it's gonna be a friggin pass.

[Michael82]

It will be a 62-yard touchdown to Lee Evans. :up:

[ublinkwescore]

So that means McGee or whoever returns kicks brings it out to the 38 - that works.

I had the same thought for a second. Then it occurred to me- if some fan on a message board can pick up on it, I'm sure Belicheck is all over it.

It'll be an off tackle run by McGahee, just to settle everyone's nerves.

[Pride]

I wonder how many touchdowns have been scored on the first offensive play of the season in NFL history..?

Exactly! Terrence runs the ball from the end zone to the 38-yard line! :up:

[MTBillsFan]

How about McGee springing one like against New Orleans last year except this time he scores!

[BuffaloBillsStampede]

As much as I think we should run the ball on the first play I really want to see JP let one rip to either Price or Evans whether they catch it or not. The Bills need to show that they are not that ****ty offense with to weapons anymore. They need to show this league and especially our division that they are going to take shots down the field with all the speed at the reciever position, and if you want to stack all those guys in the box to stop Willis then good luck covering Evans, Price, Parrish, or Davis one on one. One of those guys will get open downfield. I truly think these recievers are perfect for JP's skill set. I am getting so pumped for this game, and I really think we have a shot the more I think about it.

[RockStar36]

Go deep to Lee or Peerless. Burn them quick.

[ParanoidAndroid]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say there's a 50 - 50 chance that it will be a pass instead of a run. :D

[Billsrock4life]

thats what im thinking as well

[YardRat]

Pass...unless something pathetic happens on the kick-off and we get snared inside our own fifteen yard line...then it will be a run.

[chubluv]

We should run a screen pass to McGahee.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Remember last year's first play? They had 4 WR spread out for JP, he hit a 12 yarder or something. What did that do for his confidence?

[evol4276]

it'll be mr. magahee up the wheelhouse for a handful of yards, say 4-5 or so.

[PUCKER]

22 yard pass to Evans.

[bills_7]

I am gna **** myself if we win this game... im pumped for sunday

[TacklingDummy]

A pass play over the middle, intercepted by God. And ran back for a Touchdown.

Why would Holcomb be in on the first play?
