Fred Jackson had a career-best 212 yards rushing, the seventh-highest rushing total in team history, to reach 1,000 yards for the first time. Jackson also scored on an 11-yard catch.

Full recap

Things I Hope to See

Trent Edwards taking strides

After a promising drive to start the first preseason game, Trent reverted back to his old self and looked indecisive and unconfident. If he's going to grab ahold of the starting QB job, he's going to need to show some consistency, take a few shots, and show some sort of presence in the pocket.



CJ Spiller staying healthy

Who thinks taking a running-back early was stupid now? You never can have too many talented players at one position - if you're the Bills, at least. I'll be watching CJ especially close on runs between the tackles against a team that was not very good against the run last year. That being said, I'll take a 0 yard performance from the rook if it means that he's injury-free through the game.



George Wilson covering for Byrd

The Bills have been a huge pain in the groin the last decade or so, but now one of their best defensive players seems to be suffering from a chronic injury to said region. Luckily, the Bills are deep in the secondary and have an accomplished FS backing up last year's DROY runner-up.



Demetrius Bell looking spry

Jamon Meredith did, by all accounts, an admirable job in the first preseason game as the starting LT. Hopefully Bell can take the next step in his recovery and look competent at game-speed. Not only would that allow Meredith to focus his efforts on the RT position, but it helps sure up an offensive line that lacks in talent and depth.

Let's go Buffalo!

Re: GDT: Preseason Game 2 - Indianapolis Colts vs. Buffalo Bills

In fact the last time the Bills first string offense scored a touchdown in a preseason game was the last time they played the Colts on Aug. 24, 2008

And that was JP at QB for Edwards, who was injured.

Re: GDT: Preseason Game 2 - Indianapolis Colts vs. Buffalo Bills

With starting FS Jairus Byrd out for tonight’s game following a procedure on his groin, a familiar face will be stepping for him.

Buffalobills.com has learned that George Wilson will start at free safety in place of Byrd tonight against the Colts in Buffalo’s second preseason game.

Wilson is all too familiar with the role as he stepped in for injured starters at the safety position last year making 12 starts in 2009 when he posted a career high in tackles (91) and interceptions (4).

Wilson has been awesome depth for the bills. Hope he does well in the new scheme.

Spiller’s true role to stay under wraps

By Chris Brown - Posted August 19, 2010 – 9:22 am
C.J. Spiller will get the lion’s share of the work with the first unit in tonight’s preseason game with Indianapolis, but what you see from him tonight is not going to be anything close to how he’ll be used in the regular season.
Head coach Chan Gailey admitted as much as he plans to have Spiller execute a lot of the offense’s basic one back run plays. Here was his response when asked if Spiller will be used in the many different ways it’s anticipated he’ll be utilized come the regular season.
“Not really,” said Gailey. ”I think he’s going to get a lot of good reps that he needs to get because he missed I think nine practices in training camp. He’s going to get some good reps, but there will be a lot more diversity from him as time goes on in his offense.”
Gailey showed his sense of humor when he was asked if he would label Spiller a hybrid (type player).
“Somebody else did that not me,” he said. ”I don’t know what that is, but it’s a car isn’t it? I think that he’s going to be used in multiple ways, if that’s what that is then yeah he’ll be used in a lot of ways.”
Those multiple ways just won’t be on display for the likes of Buffalo’s opponents to view on film just yet. With the Bills slated to play all three division opponents in the first month of the season, keeping their true plans for Spiller under wraps makes sense.

Awesome game day thread again. Tonight may be one of those nights where i drink one too many beers because this game has the potential of getting very very ugly.

Play list for 1st offense will expand

By Chris Brown - Posted August 19, 2010 – 1:55 pm
Even though Chan Gailey is expected to play things close to the vest in tonight’s preseason game so as not to tip off regular season opponents about their plans for the offense, Buffalo’s starters will still run a majority of plays out of their base offense, but there will be some changes from the first preseason game.
“We’ll incorporate new things,” Gailey said. ”It’ll be I won’t say a lot different, but different from last week’s game plan. You’re trying to work on every different phase of your offense. This is phase two of where we are.”
Gailey and his offensive staff had planned to make use of a lot of their base plays with a split backfield between Fred Jackson and Marshawn Lynch in the first preseason game, but that was nixed when both backs were injured on the team’s opening possession against Washington. More one back plays are expected from the first team offense tonight.

Trent on the QB competition

By Chris Brown - Posted August 19, 2010 – 1:23 pm
Trent Edwards has heard his head coach address the media. He knows nothing is set in concrete with respect to the starting QB job. That’s why he’s taking the following approach to help ensure he’s still atop the depth chart when the preseason has concluded.
“I need to grow and continue to compete out there,” he said. ”Chan (Gailey) wants to see a guy taking control of the quarterback position, being assertive and being yourself out there and enjoying the position. So, I’ve got to make sure I’m competing and that’s something that I enjoy doing. Come week one, hopefully I’m the starter.”
Edwards realizes he has to lift the collective play of the offense with a few plays of his own. Hopefully he can make some of the same deep ball completions that he has in the camp practice setting with the likes of Lee Evans and Roscoe Parrish and get the offense rolling.

Re: GDT: Preseason Game 2 - Indianapolis Colts vs. Buffalo Bills

I'm willing to bet that one of our QBs won't be the worst QB on the field tonight!!!

Just wait til you see Curtis Painter in action....at least we don't have him.
