Re: It's just preseason. The SB Bills stunk in preseason
Would you rather hear that the 0-16 Lions went 4-0 in preseason last year?
I'm sure the SB Bills did stink in preseason...in terms of record. But I'd have a hard time believing that the first team offense and defense stunk.
All in all, I agree that I'm expecting the first team Buffalo Bills to do well moving the ball and stopping opponents in preseason. I'll be intrigued by how well the depth players do, but the first team better be ready to play.Last edited by psubills62; 07-23-2009, 02:53 PM."Misguided political correctness tethers our intellects."

Re: It's just preseason. The SB Bills stunk in preseason
Marv preferred to rest the veterans and use the preseason to evaluate the new guys. We don't have that luxury anymore.Last edited by Jan Reimers; 07-23-2009, 03:00 PM.Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

Re: It's just preseason. The SB Bills stunk in preseason
We get this same thread every single year, yeah we know it's only pre-season, but I hate when people use the 90's team as a comparison...

Re: It's just preseason. The SB Bills stunk in preseason
When you have had 49 regular season wins in 4 years, you have the luxury of resting your veterans, writing off the preseason (for starters), and having no expectations during preseason. That is not the case when you have had 26 wins in 4 years. Case closed.Last edited by Mudflap1; 07-23-2009, 07:24 PM.

Re: It's just preseason. The SB Bills stunk in preseason
no one really does. With FA, rosters change every season. During the SB days, we'd bring back 9-10 starters on O every year. It was practically the same team. Now, it's all new guys.Originally posted by Jan Reimers
Let's be realistic. W/L doesn't mean **** in preseason. But the first team O and first team D better look sharp or else we're in for a LOOOOONGGG season yet again. Every year, I criticize the first team O and the first team D in preseason and get chewed out for it, but every year the team looks like **** once the real games start.
People tend to forget that it's preseason for our opponents too and they're just as inexperienced and out of practice as we are.Comment

Re: It's just preseason. The SB Bills stunk in preseason
Exactly OP. I'm not talking about wins and losses. I'm talking about the starters looking good and in sync when they are out there.Comment

Re: It's just preseason. The SB Bills stunk in preseason
You know, just like last year when we dominated the Super Bowl champs to be while the starters were in. That sure led to good things."'Clean up your room.', 'Stand up straight.', 'Pick up your feet.', 'Take it like a man.', 'Be nice to your sister.', 'Don't mix beer and wine, ever.'. Oh yeah, 'Don't drive on the railroad track.'"

Re: It's just preseason. The SB Bills stunk in preseason
My take is that it would generally be better to look sharp than to not in pre-season, but it's not the end of the world if they aren't perfect, especially in the first couple games."'Clean up your room.', 'Stand up straight.', 'Pick up your feet.', 'Take it like a man.', 'Be nice to your sister.', 'Don't mix beer and wine, ever.'.

Re: It's just preseason. The SB Bills stunk in preseason
Those Bills team stunk because they didn't need too much time on the field. They were a well oiled machined by the time 1990 rolled around. The team now is constantly changing with FA and the fact they have sucked for the last 10 yrs. Continuity was the key back then. They didn't need much preseason and that's why they also stayed healthy all those yr too. Not to many injuries on those Super Bowl teams.Comment
