[DraftBoy]

second one goes for 9, go Lynch go!!!

[Bone]

Was our team going nuts before kickoff??

[hydro]

I like what i am seeing!!!!!!!

[DraftBoy]

three straight runs, maybe to set up a nice big pass play

[TacklingDummy]

Same old Losman. ugh

[DraftBoy]

damnit 14 yards on a sack?!

[TacklingDummy]

Was a good opening drive until that sack.

[evol4276]

ah nice try tho marshanw.. btw I LOVE SOPCAST!!

[Philagape]

Moorman is a god

[Scumbag College]

Still the best ****ing special teams in the league.

[DraftBoy]

well a good punt atleast

[billsburgh]

Moorman is GOD

[Hounds]

You dont get a better punt then that

[Ed]

We better be loud with Cutlers back to the wall.

[Romes]

MVP!!

[evol4276]

MOORMAN YOU ARE THE MAN!

nice opening drive, tho we didnt score. marshawn looked good running that drive already. we need to get roscoe the ball more

[Patti120]

C'Mon D!

[Philagape]

Poz first career stuff!!

[Patti120]

WTF!!!

[DraftBoy]

Goddamnit!!!

[TacklingDummy]

Props to Denver. That was a nice play.

[Philagape]

Whitner catches Henry behind the line!

[venis2k1]

uggg

[Philagape]

Another loss for Henry!!

[DraftBoy]

Alright big 3rd down!

[DraftBoy]

good job D!

[TacklingDummy]

Take away Henry's longest run and he has -3 yards on 2 attempts. :snicker:

[Philagape]

ROSCOE'S GOOOONNNE!!!!!!!!!!!

[Patti120]

ROSCOE!!!

[Scumbag College]

holy ****@

[Ed]

Roscoe baby!!!!!!!!!!!!

All season long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hounds]

SPECIAL SPECIAL SPECIAL TEAMS

[evol4276]

minus that etarded play, nice d drive for us i love the attempt to stiff-arm by henry that dropped himself to the ground haha




OMFG ROSCOE!!!

[Philagape]

Everyone's talked about the O and D, but we have the best ST in the league

[DraftBoy]

YEA!!!!!

[Romes]

ROSCOE!!!

[Ed]

Roscoe was my last pick in my fantasy draft. I have a feeling I'm actually gonna end up playing him a lot this year.

[Scumbag College]

Like I said, still THE BEST ****ING SPECIAL TEAMS IN THE LEAGUE.

[venis2k1]

im so glad mike martz fired bobby april

[DraftBoy]

Alright now the D needs to come out firing

[Patti120]

im so glad mike martz fired bobby april


Absolutely!:cheers:

[hydro]

we gotta keep this momentum!!

[bernielivsey_1]

Can u say SUPERBOW*........OK calm down Bernie....not yet. I am pumped though.

[DraftBoy]

Anybody got the place where the SOPCAST broadcasts are listed?

[Scumbag College]

Now we can get a gage on where this defense is. They've been showing eight in the box so far trying to stop the run, look for Denver to try some play action on first or second down.

[evol4276]

im so glad mike martz fired bobby april im so glad parrish is the freakin man

[billsburgh]

Anybody got the place where the SOPCAST broadcasts are listed?

[Patti120]

Not Good! Lets hope he gets up!

[Scumbag College]

Simpson hurt, that's bad with Leonhart and Wendling both inactive. Hopefully he can shake it off.

[Scumbag College]

Simpson hurt, that's bad with Leonhart and Wendling both inactive. Hopefully he can shake it off.

Excuse me, Wilson and Wendling inactive.

[evol4276]

we have my fav CBS anouncer too for the game. im so happy right now!

[Ed]

Simpson hurt, that's bad with Leonhart and Wendling both inactive. Hopefully he can shake it off.
Really? Who's supposed to play safety if Simpson or Whitner go down?

[Philagape]

Ko's hurt bad

[Scumbag College]

Simpson carted off...****.

[Patti120]

$%^&

[Ed]

Broken ankle! Nast play.

[Elminster]

Really? Who's supposed to play safety if Simpson or Whitner go down?
Coy Wire?:worry:

[Ed]

You could see it dangling. That really sucks.

[Novacane]

Not good

[evol4276]

OH NO KO!

[Romes]

looks like KO broke his ankle...

[evol4276]

good thing we got a safety in draft and converted one.... but still.. we need ko bad

[Patti120]

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!

[Philagape]

OMG rich boy Kelsay had Cutler and let him go :mad:

[TacklingDummy]

I guess the Bills didn't give Kelsay all that money to tackle.

[Novacane]

nice tackle Kelsey

[DraftBoy]

Come On D, Dont Break!!!

[Romes]

**** KELSAY!! :mad:

[evol4276]

wtf Kelsay!!!! god dammit

[DraftBoy]

GODDAMNIT KELSAY YOU OVERRATED OVERPAYED POS!

[Patti120]

The D needs to step up here!

[TacklingDummy]

Pass defense doesn't look that good.

Run defense has been ok so far.

Special teams look awesome.

QB play looks like a chicken with his head cut off.

[DraftBoy]

We really need a stuff here

[Patti120]

Nice stop by the D

[Ed]

Besides that option play, we're actually doing really well against the run. Nice stop D!

[Scumbag College]

Donte Whitner= this year's Bob Sanders.

[billsburgh]

big third down stop yeah D

[DraftBoy]

Is that Jim Leonhard I see who has replaced Ko?

[evol4276]

nice stop guys! way to make up for that damn "sack"

[Elminster]

Jesus Christ! Can't they do anything the easy way? Well, hopefully the O will move as well as it did the first position, minus the A-Train and the sack...

[YardRat]

Is that Jim Leonhard I see who has replaced Ko?

Yes.

[billsburgh]

Is that Jim Leonhard I see who has replaced Ko?
yeah :ill:

[Romes]

Is that Jim Leonhard I see who has replaced Ko?

yeah, leonard is in.

[Scumbag College]

Is that Jim Leonhard I see who has replaced Ko?

The only other active safety today...

Wilson and Wendling inactive today.

[Philagape]

That non-sack may have cost us 3 points

[venis2k1]

wow we just bent for 97 yards, but didnt break.

[TacklingDummy]

Lets see a drive on offense with no boneheaded mistakes.

[SquishDaFish]

TD your unreal bro. Still hatin on JP even though he has done nothing wrong so far. That sack was partial Marshawns fault. Did you see everyone tapping marshawn saying its ok??

[Elminster]

wow we just bent for 97 yards, but didnt break.
let's hope that's not the minimum amount of room our D needs in order not to break:help!:

[DraftBoy]

TD your unreal bro. Still hatin on JP even though he has done nothing wrong so far. That sack was partial Marshawns fault. Did you see everyone tapping marshawn saying its ok??

Anytime a QB loses 14 yards on a sack its alot of QB fault there is no drop that calls for 14 yards worth of a drop.

[TacklingDummy]

Need a 4 or 5 minute drive here. The Defense needs a rest. We don't need a tired defense in the second half.

[Philagape]

JP should have run or gotten rid of it

[Scumbag College]

The Bills running game has been punishing so far, if it wasn't for that damn sack on the first drive the offense wouldn't have been stopped. I like where the Billls are right now.

[DraftBoy]

1st Quarter Down-
Positive;
Marshawn Lynch-4 carries, 23 yards
Losman-2/2, and 13 on the ground
ST

Negative;
Losman-Stupid bonehead sack

Inconclusive-
Defense bent but did not break

[TacklingDummy]

Good job offense, 3 and out is a great way to give the defense a rest. :rolleyes:

Welcome to last year.

[SquishDaFish]

I like the way we look so far except losing Simpson to a damn broken ankle or leg

[Elminster]

Nice going offense...ugh...no way the defense's gonna 97 yards to bend in now. Better stiffen up....

[Patti120]

Our O needs to stay on the field longer than that! Otherwise our D will be dead by the 4th! Let's hope this is a 3 and out.

[DraftBoy]

If we dont give our D a breather Tranis Henry is going to wear us down all game long

[Philagape]

1st Quarter Down-
Positive;
Marshawn Lynch-4 carries, 23 yards
Losman-2/2, and 13 on the ground
ST

Negative;
Losman-Stupid bonehead sack

Inconclusive-
Defense bent but did not break

Poz three tackles, two of them good stuffs

[TacklingDummy]

I didn't think it was possible for Sam Adams to get fatter.

[Scumbag College]

Coy Wire carted off with a knee injury...wtf.

[Patti120]

Why is Wire out>?

[venis2k1]

balls

[Patti120]

Oops! Just saw the post above mine. WTF! Hopefully the injury bug stops now!!!

[TacklingDummy]

Defense looks tired.

[DraftBoy]

Poz looks good so far he's making plays to his left and right showing good speed

[evol4276]

god our pass d is terrible

[Novacane]

need turnover

[DraftBoy]

friggin Haggan is now our starting LB god we a paper thin on D

[evol4276]

im kinda scared with d right now....

[Nighthawk]

For all you people who thought it was OK for this organization not to pick up some players after the cuts...Well, now you get to see the junk that has to play when we have injuries.

[DraftBoy]

Poz three tackles, two of them good stuffs


Good point missed that one

[gr8slayer]

friggin Haggan is now our starting LB god we a paper thin on D
I'd rather have Stamer playing.

[DraftBoy]

I dont know what we are going to do if Wire is out long term, Ellison is hurt too we got no real D depth and wth is Digorgio at? Did he even make the team?

[Elminster]

friggin Haggan is now our starting LB god we a paper thin on D:hang:
To be fair, I don't think many teams are designed to cope well with two key injuries in a little more thna a quarter....

[Nighthawk]

Perry Fool HAS to start mixing in the blitz...young QB + blitz = TO's! Wake up, Perry!!!!

[Nighthawk]

You have got to get pressure on the QB or the Bills are in trouble...what the f**k!

[Patti120]

good stop by the d!

[DraftBoy]

good 3 and out

[Scumbag College]

Bills need some first downs here, the Broncos have had the ball for wayyyyyyy too long.

[Patti120]

Lets make something happen O!

[Elminster]

good stop by the d!
Yeah, now the O needs to put up some points!

[TacklingDummy]

OK JP you talked about how dangerous this offesne can be. It's time to shut up and show us.

[Nighthawk]

Oh, and the offense has to get rid of the bunched formations...THEY DON'T WORK FOR THIS TEAM! Spread it out and let our playmakers make plays! What an f'n concept!

[Scumbag College]

Gotta get the ball to Evans here. The Broncos were keying on the run the last three and out. Let's go Buffalo!!!!!!!!!

[DraftBoy]

:hang:
To be fair, I don't think many teams are designed to cope well with two key injuries in a little more thna a quarter....


I agree but we lost one player at two different positions, the fact that we really lack a backup at either position that many fans have confidence in scary.

[DraftBoy]

Need a time consuming drive, lets give em a new look or two. Love to see a screen/swing pass to Lynch here with Peters and Dockery out front blocking

[Nighthawk]

where the hell is this NEW offense? looks like the same crap to me! open it up a-holes!

[TacklingDummy]

Come On JP, Lee was covered like a blanket. Throw to someone else.

[Novacane]

JP is looking like crap

[Patti120]

Big Third Down! We have got to convert!

[hydro]

JP is looking like crap

You got that right!

[Nighthawk]

Need a time consuming drive, lets give em a new look or two. Love to see a screen/swing pass to Lynch here with Peters and Dockery out front blocking

I hear ya, but this coaching staff doesn't seem to have done anything different that last year. So far it's been a joke! F'n Jauron!

[SquishDaFish]

No running now??

[TacklingDummy]

BOOOO

WTF 3 and out

[Patti120]

#$@%!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Romes]

this offense is depressing me...

[DraftBoy]

WTF JP thats a bad throw to an open receiver, he didnt have his feet set at all

[Nighthawk]

I honestly am sick of seeing the same crap over and over and over...what is this crap! New season, same s**t!

[Novacane]

D can't keep it up with all our 3 and outs on offense

[DraftBoy]

Good punt coverage from Stamer

[Elminster]

this offense is depressing me... And I here I thought our biggest problem was Leonard and Haggans on the field for D...they started out real good too! Give the ball back to Marshawn already, goddammit!

[TacklingDummy]

Cutler could have been a Bill.

[Patti120]

If our O can't stay on the field then we are screwed!

[DraftBoy]

We ran Lynch 4 times on the 1st drive since then he's gotten the ball 1 time

[Nighthawk]

This team is a joke...

[evol4276]

nice stop dig

[Elminster]

We ran Lynch 4 times on the 1st drive since then he's gotten the ball 1 time
Yeah, wtf...was it working too well for them or something?

[Patti120]

Is Digorgio in for Poz?

[Nighthawk]

If our O can't stay on the field then we are screwed!

it's coaching...

[DraftBoy]

good play by Johnny D to stop that draw that looked like it was going to burn us

[Nighthawk]

this game is starting to get away...

[TacklingDummy]

JP played well at the end of last year.

[DraftBoy]

Are you kidding me, Cutler about to get hit throws a prayer and Stokley makes the catch in double coverage. ****ing McGee

[gr8slayer]

The Broncos should be up by two TD's as bad as we are playing

[Nighthawk]

I see Perry Fool is the same old crappy defensive coordinator...

[DraftBoy]

D is wearing down

[Patti120]

Thanks for the help Walker! Did they just say Henry is averaging over 6 yards per carry?

[Novacane]

gotta have this stop

[Nighthawk]

Hey, let's play 10 yards off the WR's...yeah, that works! Not!

[TacklingDummy]

Roscoe Parrish, Bills bend but don't break defense: 7
Broncos: 6

[Nighthawk]

yipd, f'n do...this team looks bad...and the coaching looks even worse!

[dannyek71]

im sitting in the ft lauderdale airport watching the game via the web. thanks for the link

[Ed]

We could really use another big special teams return. Lets go McGee!

[DraftBoy]

phew Cutler's two bad passes bailed us out

[Scumbag College]

Nice play by Schobel to get a piece of the ball and Cutler's hand....

Bend but don't break, now the D NEEDS help from the offense. Cannot, cannot, cannot have another 3 and out.

[Elminster]

I don't know what possessed them to pass on three straight downs, but I ain't complaining. Now let's run the fricking ball until JP gets in the building!

[Nighthawk]

We could really use another big special teams return. Lets go McGee!

How bad is it when this is what we have come to???

[Patti120]

Let's hope the O gets something going! We need to see good blocking up front and Marshawn getting the rock!

[Oldbillsfan]

Run the damn ball!

[Nighthawk]

The offensive play calling leaves something to be desired.

[Nighthawk]

There is no energy on this team!

[Philagape]

This team is all ST

[Nighthawk]

There is no energy on this team!

[Scumbag College]

TMcgee, one block away from bringing it to the house!

[Patti120]

We could really use another big special teams return. Lets go McGee!


Almost got your wish! Let's go O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TacklingDummy]

**** We needed McGee to go the distance. Might as well get the punt team ready.

[Elminster]

Okay, c'mom O, the special teams gift-wrapped awesome field position for you. Let' see us run the ********* ball Fairchild! Obviously passing isn't working out too well!

[Nighthawk]

So much for that money we spent on the OL.

[Romes]

good field position! come on O!!

[evol4276]

BEST SPECIAL TEAMS IN THE GAME!!!

[Patti120]

The Line needs to get a better push up front!

[Ed]

1st down! finally!

Nice run Reed.

[Novacane]

that was all Reed. Nice Josh!

[Elminster]

I take that back.....can we just bring Moorman onto the field now and be done with it?

[Patti120]

Good effort by Lynch!

[Elminster]

And I've just eaten my words twice in under a minute....

[Nighthawk]

Let me help the coaches out again...STOP WITH THE BUNCH FORMATIONS! They don't work!

[Patti120]

Ouch!

[TacklingDummy]

Kelly Holcomb with the 2 yard dump off.

[Nighthawk]

Anybody else feel that it is time to get rid of McNally? This guy's OL's have looked like crap every since he's been there!

[Novacane]

go for it

[evol4276]

everett's beaten his yearly record!

[Patti120]

Reed is looking good so far!

[Nighthawk]

Reed should start opposite Evans...stupid coaching.

[Scumbag College]

Fourth and inches....here's where you go for it and make this high priced OL earn their millions.

[evol4276]

Nice catch reed!!! tough mofo!

[Philagape]

Wow great effort by Lynch .... McGahee would have never gotten that

[DraftBoy]

Hell of a catch!

[Scumbag College]

Marshawn got it!!!!!!!!!

Best one yard run in the history of Buffalo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nighthawk]

If that doesn't fire up this OL, I don't know what will!

[Patti120]

WOW!

[Hounds]

Willis never would have got that 1st down

[Patti120]

Lets keep the momentum going!

[Romes]

YEAH MARSHAWN!!
