The Official Buffalo Bills- Miami Dolphins Gameday thread!

[BillsZone Moderator]

For the 2008 season, we at the Zone are going to do something different.
A Zone Moderator will create the "official" gameday thread each week. It will be locked until several hours before gametime, and all other gameday threads will be deleted.

The discussion in these threads must be about the Buffalo Bills, and the current game in progress.

Flaming, veiled profanity, passive-aggressive insults, and any other posts not related to football are TOS violations, and will result in disciplinary action, including, but not limited to:
1. Moving the post to spam.
2. Verbal Warning.
3. Banning from the thread.
4. Points.

The the Official Gameday Thread, and the Buffalo BillsZone itself are for discussion of Buffalo Bills Football only. They will be monitored very thoroughly the entire season, and violators will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
Please follow these simple rules, and show respect for your fellow posters, because in the end, we're all Bills fans, and we all want the same thing: A Championship season.

Thank You and Go Bills!

Best of luck, ladies and gents! I am looking forward to a close game and, hopefully, one with no injuries on either side of the ball.

Good luck today Jillies, here's to a good game. :cheers:

[like2god]

Wow, good thing the Bills signed Wilford this offseason!
Yeah, he's been a disappointment so far. We'll be looking for another big WR once the season is over.

[shelby]

good luck l2g!

:squish:

[Mr. Pink]

Why the eph do we have to watch ne-yo sing the national anthem in London?

Does the nation really care about this stupid London pre-game bs?

[shelby]

:woot: Game on....

i made my husband my Beer ***** for the day.

:snicker:

[tat2dmike77]

This london crap is annoying and why do we need to see the pre game in london.

Oh so we can except the fact the NFL is taking a home game away from a team to play football in sissy london thats why.

[tat2dmike77]

:woot: Game on....

i made my husband my Beer ***** for the day.

:snicker:

No beer just vicodin here but just as effective

[hydro]

This london crap is annoying and why do we need to see the pre game in london.

Oh so we can except the fact the NFL is taking a home game away from a team to play football in sissy london thats why.

I know. This is super annoying...

[Mr. Pink]

I think she should sing the sex pistols version of God Save the Queen instead.

[Nighthawk]

Wow, again the team is not ready to play at the start. Don't like this trend.

[Mr. Pink]

McGee doesn't look 100%

And damn we bit hard on that play action.

[BILLSROCK1212]

hey if anyone was gunna score a TD for the Fins at least it was someone on my fantasy team

[TacklingDummy]

Toast McGee looking bad on the first drive.

I've said all week this is a trap game.

[Novacane]

Some real nice defense on that drive

[Historian]

1/2 empty fishbowl

[Michael82]

That was an awful start! Maybe we should have received the kickoff for the the beginning, instead of deferring. :ill:

[Nighthawk]

Toast McGee looking bad on the first drive.

I've said all week this is a trap game.

They haven't been ready to play at the start of the game all year long. Hopefully they start playing soon, like they've done all season.

[BilldFaninVA]

definitely not looking our best, but i still think we come back. just a hiccup i hope .

[Novacane]

That was an awful start! Maybe we should have received the kickoff for the the beginning, instead of deferring. :ill:



Or just played some fricking defense

[Dujek]

It's still almost impossible to get in here during the game. That drive sucked.

[Nighthawk]

That was an awful start! Maybe we should have received the kickoff for the the beginning, instead of deferring. :ill:

Perry Fool's wonderful defense looks like crap early.

[Michael82]

That guy was way too open on that play. :mad:

[tat2dmike77]

I can hear OP already

[Mr. Pink]

It's still almost impossible to get in here during the game. That drive sucked.

Had that problem at the start of the game too.

[Dujek]

Decent field position to start though.

[Michael82]

Nice return by McKelvin....


Let's go OFFENSE! Answer back with a TD to Lee Evans. :up:

[TacklingDummy]

They haven't been ready to play at the start of the game all year long. Hopefully they start playing soon, like they've done all season.
True.

Maybe today will be a shoot out.

[BakersDozen]

Anyone recording todays game? My HD converter box/ antenna combo is pixelating bad today and I need a good copy to send to a couple Bills fans in Iraq. Can anyone help me out? Doesn't matter if it's recorded on VHS or dvd either I can work with.

[tat2dmike77]

Perry Fool's wonderful defense looks like crap early.

None of us are schoked

[Nighthawk]

I can hear OP already

Seriously, shut up...don't worry about what OP thinks. If you have comments on the game...fine, but don't worry about other posters or call them out in this thread.

[TheBrownBear]

I had a bad feeling about today's game. Same way I felt about the Arizona game.

[TacklingDummy]

Nice rack

[tat2dmike77]

Of course the lowes ******eds are not here yet

They will be here between 8am and my death

[shelby]

Play nice kids. My live feed is not working and i'm super pissed.

[Philagape]

Nice play to Evans!

[Nighthawk]

Nice throw and catch...

[Michael82]

Nice catch and run by Lee Evans! :bf1:

[Nighthawk]

Nice run by Jackson...

[Novacane]

turned nothin into 9yds

[TacklingDummy]

Damn, look at Jackson run. He should start.

[Michael82]

sweet run by Fred Jackson...kept plowing thru for the yards.

[like2god]

Play nice kids. My live feed is not working and i'm super pissed.
Try this

http://www.justin.tv/medieval954

[Nighthawk]

Jackson just has a better feel for reading blocks.

[Billscusey]

The fish moved pretty easily on us, but it looks like we may be able to do the same. Could this be a shoot-out today?

[Michael82]

Damn, look at Jackson run. He should start.
:gag:

[TacklingDummy]

Trent is playing alot better than I thought he would this year.

You could never tell this is only his 16th start.

[Bufftp]

Our D will adjust..

[TheBrownBear]

Fred Jackson proving why he should be playing ahead of Marshawn. And gotta love Trent Edwards at this point.

[Dujek]

Jackson dragging half the fish defense with him for 9 yards was pretty impressive.

[Bufftp]

the hd cbs over the air is dropping all the time :(

[Philagape]

Nice catch Hardy!

[Novacane]

The fish moved pretty easily on us, but it looks like we may be able to do the same. Could this be a shoot-out today?



No! Our D is gonna get thier **** together

[TacklingDummy]

Jackson just has a better feel for reading blocks. Theres no doubt Jackosn has better vision than Lynch.

[Nighthawk]

Nice adjustment by Hardy...good catch!

[Michael82]

The fish moved pretty easily on us, but it looks like we may be able to do the same. Could this be a shoot-out today?
yeah, definitely like the over on the game.

[like2god]

Damn, you guys aren't having any problems moving the ball. :nottoohappy'boutthat:

[BILLSROCK1212]

James Hardy does not make that catch against the Rams a few weeks ago.

[TacklingDummy]

Goal ine offense is where Lynch should get his carries.

[Michael82]

come on Trent....we need this TD!

[TacklingDummy]

Where is lynch? He should be in on the goal line. Hurt?

[Philagape]

Is Lynch hurt? He should have gotten that goal line carry

[Nighthawk]

Leave it to stupid coaching to stop the drive...stupid, stupid,stupid!

[Novacane]

nice run blocking again

[Michael82]

****, what a horrible playcall. Especially when Lynch is on the bench. :mad:

[Mr. Pink]

Why wasn't Lynch in during the goal line situation?

Confused.

[TacklingDummy]

bad play calling on the goal line.

[DrGraves]

wheres lynch???

[Nighthawk]

This team's liability is the coaching.

[Novacane]

There should have been play action on either 1rst or 2nd down.

[TheBrownBear]

Damn....I would have liked to see Trent get the opportunity down there. Disappointing.

[Dujek]

Dammit, should have been able to punch that in.

[THATHURMANATOR]

Is Lynch hurt??? WTF

[Mad Bomber]

VERY disappointing.

[TacklingDummy]

Why wasn't Lynch in during the goal line situation?

Confused.
He has to be hurt, why else wouldn't he be in on the goal line?

[Nighthawk]

Dammit, should have been able to punch that in.

Well, when we haven't had luck all year running the dive play, why the hell would you do it on 3rd down at the goalline??? Stupid coaching...

[Mad Bomber]

LET'S GO D!!!!!!

[Mad Bomber]

Is Lynch hurt??? WTF
That's what I'm afraid of. He should have been in there on the goal line.

[TheBrownBear]

He has to be hurt, why else wouldn't he be in on the goal line?

That's what I'm thinking. Maybe a pulled muscle or cramps after that long reversed field play on the first snap?

[imbondz]

no, the play calling was excellent. the execution sucked. it should be 7-7

[Nighthawk]

Wow, our coverage teams have been very average this year.

[TacklingDummy]

Come on Mcgee.

[Mr. Pink]

Ginn is gonna have a field day against McGee today.

[Nighthawk]

no, the play calling was excellent. the execution sucked. it should be 7-7

The playcalling has been awful so far...both defense and offensive.

[Novacane]

No pressure...no coverage. Nice gameplan

[TacklingDummy]

That's what I'm thinking. Maybe a pulled muscle or cramps after that long reversed field play on the first snap?

Maybe.

[Patti120]

McGee is getting abused out there

[Philagape]

Stroud caused that breakdown in the backfield

[TacklingDummy]

run D = Good
pass D, or McGee= Bad

[Mad Bomber]

WTF is wrong with our D?

[TheBrownBear]

Damn...do you like your McGee original recipe or extra crispy?

[Patti120]

Our D in general is getting abused as well!

[THATHURMANATOR]

The stadium is half full what queers

[Mr. Pink]

Good to see we had all week to prepare for the wildcat and Miami is still able to use it very effectively.

[Nighthawk]

Well, Perry Fool is getting his head handed to him right now. No surprise.

[Dujek]

****ING TACKLE!

[TacklingDummy]

When's the last time Miami beat Buffalo? It might be their day.

[Oaf]

I think that's the coaches being a little too cute and being overconfident in Jackson's ability. That should have been a Lynch TD.

[TheBrownBear]

We need a turnover.

[sba]

Have they said anything about Lynch?

[Nighthawk]

Why would you not press their WR all day??? Pennington has no arm and you need to pressure him or he'll pick you apart!

[Novacane]

you have got to be kidding he almost got that first down

[Patti120]

That was crazy! I though he was going to get it! Whew!

[like2god]

Good stop by your D

[shelby]

thanks l2g, that's working better.

[Michael82]

Well....as least they didn't break this time.... :phew:

[TacklingDummy]

nice punt

Let's Go O

[Novacane]

Phins are doing everything right. That can't continue..............can it?

[honey]

No points at least. Now starting at the two.

[DBrown77]

can we chill out guys, its the first quarter and everyone is acting like we lost already

[Nighthawk]

This team better get their head out of their asses and stop thinking they're going to win this game by just showing up! It would help if the playcalling didn't suck so bad also.

[shelby]

Good to see we had all week to prepare for the wildcat and Miami is still able to use it very effectively.
exactly.

:madcurse:

[THATHURMANATOR]

If someone didnt trip williams up he would have got it... WHEW

[sba]

Pennington dove at Whitner's knees, Donte got right up and went after him.

[TacklingDummy]

Have they said anything about Lynch?
Nothing

[Celtkin]

Nice job stopping Ricky.

[TheBrownBear]

can we chill out guys, its the first quarter and everyone is acting like we lost already

Game over!!! I'm going sunbathing with my chihauha.

[Nighthawk]

can we chill out guys, its the first quarter and everyone is acting like we lost already

No, this is a board for discussion. They are playing like s**t right now and deserve all the criticism they are getting. If you don't like it, I'd advise you to go somewhere else.

[Michael82]

:rofl: Encroachment.....nice job Miami.

[honey]

Phew. Got a little breathing space now. :D

[Mr. Pink]

Well that helps. Thanks Jason Ferguson!

[Novacane]

that helps thanks dummy

[TacklingDummy]

Lynch in.

That tells us the play calling on the goal line the first drive sucked balls.

[Nighthawk]

A lot of Lynch's troubles are due to his not hitting the right hole. He had nothing where the play was going and still tried going there.

[shelby]

@#$%ing Royal.

[DBrown77]

No, this is a board for discussion. They are playing like s**t right now and deserve all the criticism they are getting. If you don't like it, I'd advise you to go somewhere else.

i think i will

[TheBrownBear]

Lynch = 3 yards and a cloud of dust.

[Mr. Pink]

Nice catch and run by Josh Reed

[honey]

Josh Reed! :bravo:

[Novacane]

nice run Josh!

[Nighthawk]

Great play by Reed...

[shelby]

REED *****ES

[THATHURMANATOR]

NIce work Reed!!

[TacklingDummy]

Josh Reed, pay the man

[Philagape]

Reed fights off tacklers for the first down! :bf1:

[Michael82]

Nice run by Josh Reed to get the first down. :clap:

[Patti120]

Reed is clutch!

[honey]

Oops, Miami guy hurt.

[TheBrownBear]

I like this Josh Reed guy.

[TacklingDummy]

A lot of Lynch's troubles are due to his not hitting the right hole. He had nothing where the play was going and still tried going there.
:clap:

[Michael82]

That was two horrible passes in a row....come on Edwards! :mad:

[Patti120]

That's bad for the Phins. good for us. Lets hope he is not seriously injured but doesn't come back for this game.

[TacklingDummy]

Ugh, Trent just threw a Losman, pass at recievers feet.

[honey]

****. Sack. :(

[Mr. Pink]

Held the ball too long there.

[Philagape]

Trent didn't look too good on that drive

[TheBrownBear]

Edwards looking a little shaky all of a sudden.

[Novacane]

Should have taken off sooner Trent

[shelby]

sacked
:shelby:

[TacklingDummy]

Nice pass blocking, Trent needs to get rid of the ball.

[Patti120]

Nothing open I guess! Good protection on that one.

[Philagape]

Oh #$@%@!

[honey]

Wow! Nice recovery.

[Mr. Pink]

Nice play by Moorman there....made something decent out of something that coulda been a disaster.

[shelby]

stupid freaking penalty.

[Nighthawk]

Well everybody, this team was not ready to play today...it's pretty obvious.

[Novacane]

Time to get heads out of asses

[Michael82]

WOW! Moorman is the man.....that could have been VERY costly, and he still got it off....

[Patti120]

We did not look good on that drive. Still a lot of time in the ball game to get it together though.

[Billscusey]

Wow........this team is not lookin' good!

[Jaydog57]

Great game so far, still a long way to go though. :peace:

[TacklingDummy]

Keep the score close, Bills 2nd half team.

[Nighthawk]

stupid freaking penalty.

NOt really, the guys covering would never know the ball was snapped over his head. Nothing you can do in that situation.

[Michael82]

Time to get heads out of asses
Definitely. Even Trent Edwards looked bad so far. Especially in the last drive.

[Novacane]

Well everybody, this team was not ready to play today...it's pretty obvious.


It's becomming a trend

[like2god]

Well everybody, this team was not ready to play today...it's pretty obvious.
The game is far from over. :;

[Nighthawk]

This is why I didn't want Dickey given an extension before we actually get to the playoffs!

[Patti120]

D needs to step up here!

[TheBrownBear]

Trent has me a little worried. That last drive was absolutely Losmanesque.

[Michael82]

****! Damn you Stroud! :mad:

[Nighthawk]

The game is far from over. :;

I agree, but it's been brutal so far.

[LABillsFan]

Miami is looking tough. Bills seem to be a little too flashy. Hopefully, they'll calm down and shore up their game plan.

[jamze132]

Not looking good in any facet right now. Hopefully these guys will figure it out before its too late.

[Patti120]

HUGE!!!!

[Nighthawk]

That would be a huge TO for us!

[Mr. Pink]

Needed that turnover.

[Michael82]

It's a FUMBLE!!! Keith Ellison recovers! Yeah baby! :bf1:

[TacklingDummy]

Many Bills fans in the crowd?

[THATHURMANATOR]

Thank you Rickey

[honey]

Bills' ball!!!!

[Novacane]

We needed that!!!!!!!

[Billscusey]

that could be huge!

[Celtkin]

Good job on the fumble recovery

[TheBrownBear]

Yes!!!!!!!!

[Patti120]

Now all we have to do is capitalize!

[LABillsFan]

Shoring it up. :up:

[Nighthawk]

Holy s**t! I didn't even know that Ellison still played on this team anymore! [sarcasm]

[njsue]

:lolpoint: Widdle Wicky fumbled

[Fixxxer]

squish 'em

[TheBrownBear]

Trust in Trent. He will make them pay!

[TacklingDummy]

Miami is not as bad a team as many of the Bills fans on here ran their mouthes about.

[njsue]

:squish:

[Nighthawk]

Miami is not as bad a team as many of the Bills fans on here ran their mouthes about.

I agree and it is why I would just be happy with winning this game...even by one point!

[Philagape]

Beast Mode!!

[Patti120]

Theres the Lynch we love!

[honey]

Go, Marshawn!!!

[Michael82]

Nice run Marshawn! BEAST MODE! :bf1:

[like2god]

Nice run

[Patti120]

DUH!

[Nighthawk]

F'n penalty's are going to kill us! Come on guys!

[Novacane]

stop it with these stupid penalties

[TacklingDummy]

Bench Royal

[Mr. Pink]

GOOD HANDS ROYAL!

Bum.

[honey]

Damn, Royal. :mad:

[Patti120]

Typical royal brain fart

[Nighthawk]

Can we please cut Royal already!!!??? This guy sucks!

[Michael82]

**** YOU Robert Royal...you piece of ****!

Get some hands. :mad:

[njsue]

:curse: Penalties

[Bufftp]

Trents passing is off today

[TheBrownBear]

Miami is doing a nice job of disguising their blitzes and coverages. Trent will be tested today.

[Patti120]

Nice! repeat 3rd!

[Michael82]

WOO HOO! The Dolphins jump offsides to give us another chance.

[honey]

Good that it's on the defense.

[njsue]

:curse: Royal

[shelby]

nice penalty on Miami there

[SpillerThrills]

did our recievers leave their hands in Buffalo???

[Mr. Pink]

Thanks Miami!
Free first down!

[Nighthawk]

Huge penalty against Miami...

[honey]

YAY!!!! Facemask penalty, Phins!

[Patti120]

Phins!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

We need to capitalize on this!

[Michael82]

:rofl: Dolphins give it to us again.......nice face mask!


Thanks for the 1st down.
