Observations from the game

[Dr. Lecter]

Random observations from the game:

1. I have never been a fan of Preston and am less so now. He was terrible.
2.Fred Jackson runs hard and will make this team as the #3 or #4 back, unless Thomas gets axed.
3. Tim Anderson actually played well.
4. Peerless Price played very well.
5. The tackling was embarassing. And not just on Young.
6. Parrish made a great punt return. The block in the back was BS, as the player was pushed into Wire.
7. Langston Walker was actually solid.
8. Schobel was invisible.
9. Terrence McGee was missed.
10. Losman struggled after his injury, but still lauched a beauty to Evans.
11. Poz and John D were non-factors.
12. Triplett was bad.
13. McCargo was Ok. As matter of fact, the run defense was good when he and Timmy were together.
14. The Titans ran a much more complex offense than the Bills. They had more motion, shifts and misdirections. I was surprised at how much they did.
15. Danney needs to stay away from Jello shots.
16. Philagape is a cool guy. Nice to meet ya'!

You should combine this thread with the 3rd pre-season game thread.

Both same thing.

Re: Observations from the game

moderately concerned about the dline

not very much concerned about the oline. yes looked awful run blocking tonite but too much talent it will come together at least adequately. pass protection was sound most of the time. preston sucks out loud as a center which is quite a surprise

losman is a preparation guy. once they start game planning i think he will look much better. knows how to set up evans for the bomb perfectly now

wr is now a strength overall. evans is a god, and the three behind him are more than enough to draw some of the doubles away from his side. reed is a blocking machine and clutch third down master. parrish is good for two mind boggling rac plays a game. price is overpaid but a bomb threat all the time

hard to judge lynch but not going to make any conclusions until we see him in this offense for real. impressive hands on the over the shoulder reach catch tonite inspires confidence as a reciever

pass rush was pretty good, anybody else but young and they have four or so sacks first half alone. corners are a concern right now tho as theyve given up too many completions so far in the practice games

despite ellison sucking out loud tonite, linebackers look like the strength of the d. might take some time to gel but talent is there. poz is just a gamer, wire has been impressive and will see significant time, and ellison will rebound from the worst game ive ever seen him play

special teams will be top three again. kicking game top notch. as is the return game

bottom line: no reason to think the bills either suck massive or are world beaters. looks like a .500 team and with two or three pieces of luck will be in playoff contention late in the season

Re: Observations from the game

Walker had one awful whiff that led to a busted play.
I thought Tripp and McCargo played well last night.

Re: Observations from the game

Their two minute drill sliced through our defense like a hot knife through butter.

Parrish will have his breakout year this year.

All three QBs looked "stale".

The new scoreboard was a disappointment. It's hi-def but its only a few feet larger than the old one.

The ribbon board is just plain annoying, flashing Noco and M&T Bank ads all night.

They had an Interview on Whitner and they asked him about that and he said they were playing a vanilla style of defense?

[Meathead]

Re: Observations from the game

whitner also admitted they expect to be a bend dont break defense, which suprised me because they usually dont like that term preferring to stick the offense. but i guess they gotta go with what they got which is speed instead of power

as much as theyve said they dont want to be, this is going to look a lot like the rams teams from the last decade - explosive offense and turnover oriented defense

Re: Observations from the game

The defense broke
