    Last Regular Season Meeting




    The Broncos, who outgained the Bills 532 yards to 275, retook the lead on Cutler's 6-yard keeper. The celebratory mood among the frozen fans, who endured temperatures that dipped into the single digits, ended quickly when Fred Jackson's 65-yard catch set up Steve Johnson's 3-yard touchdown grab that put Buffalo back on top, 23-20.
    Full recap






    Things I Hope to See




    Pass-rush minus Merriman

    Shawne Merriman looked like the Lights-Out of old last weekend, but again he is missing a game. With Marcell Dareus and Kyle Williams eating up space and humans on the defensive line, I hope to see other pass-rushers step up and show flashes. We may not be able to count on Merriman for 16 games and we can't afford to manufacture pressure all season.



    Passing game in sync

    After a pretty bland showing last weekend in Chicago, the Bills' offense, and more specifically passing offense, reportedly had a horrible week of practice. Lee Evans' departure puts instant pressure on guys that haven't been expected to produce at the NFL level yet. It's time to show some progression and for someone to take over the #2 WR position.



    Levitre winning the LG spot

    Although the current regime did not draft Andy Levitre, the fact remains that he was a 2nd round pick. And up until now, there haven't been many questions about his play. Now, he faces a challenge from Chad Rinehart - a player brought in by Gailey and Nix. It's time for the more talented player to step up and win the job. Expect for these two to each get a couple series'.



    Marcus Easley doing something

    We keep hearing about the physicality and athleticism of the former 4th-round pick, but no one has seen anything of substance on the field. The former Husky looked timid returning kicks last week. It makes you wonder if he's still suffering from a nagging injury. Going along with the passing game theme - this guy has the look, size, strength, speed to step up and be a playmaker. It's time to do something with all of those attributes.




    Let's go Buffalo!

      Agreed, must have taken some time. Nice!

        I was up inordinately early today, so I got an early start on this. Can't promise one every week, but once the template is down it doesn't take too long.

        Sucks that NFL highlights aren't readily available on Youtube. When I do these for hockey it's usually a lot better.

        Anyway, hope you all enjoy. Looking forward to another step forward for this team tonight.

            Per Gailey, starters to get 20 plays. Second team to get 25 plays. Levitre starting at LG and will see time at center.

              I hope Fitz looks decent out there. Also hope defense continues in the right direct with out Merriman. If we lose him to injury this year It would be nice to know our D can still hold its own. Lets just hope it does not happen though.

                  I'm sure it's just an estimate. If we look really poor I'm sure he'll keep guys in. Doubt he'll be really strict with that number.

                  But I do agree with you. Especially with these young receivers.

                    If we have another offensive outing like we did against the Bears, I'm going to start to worry a little bit. We need to see that this offense is capable of putting together scoring drives that result in more than just a field goal. Another 3 point outing would raise the red flag of concern in my opinion. Nice work by the OP on putting this thread together. Go Bills

                        No injuries please. I think 3 series (a little over a 1/4) for the starters is a good amount, you can't push them too hard seeing that there were no OTA's and mini camp, slow and easy. I like to see a little more of the run from the starting unit, but I realize that it's probably the passing game that needs more work due to timing of routes and such. Also I know it's only preseason, but put up a W, this team needs to learn to win, even if it's preseason. GO BILLS. :historian:

                          I think Dareus is going to make Denver pay for not drafting him tonight...
