Official Pre-Season GDT - Bills vs Redskins

[YardRat]

:gobills:

Here's hoping for no injuries an a lot of positives from our new players and returning starters.

For at least half a quarter.

For at least half a quarter.


Less then 1/2

3 and out, and 3 and out.

[Ed]

I'm excited to see our new players, but no injuries to our starters or key players is really all I care about. I'm not too concerned with results. Tonight is really just about working on fundamentals and getting used to playing games again.

Exactly. Let's keep the post-game bridge-jumping to a minimum folks :up:

[ZAZusmc03]

I am unbelievably excited for this game. Even though its only preseason...football is officially back and I can't wait to see this team play.

Same here I don't think I have ever looked forward to a preseason game as much as this one. Can't Wait

[BADTHINGSMAN]

:gobills: Few hours away can't wait.

[Slim]

It's surreal. I can't wrap my head around the fact that the Bills are playing in a few hours.

[Slim]

LETS GO

[Slim]

No injuries tonight. For either team please.

[Slim]

The video quality has gotten exponentially better over the last 3 years with NFL preseason live.

[Slim]

Stadium is pretty damn empty.

[better days]

Game is on WGR online. Even if you are watching a video feed who doesn't love listening to Murph?

[Slim]

Potter trolling the Skins.

[superbills]

Can someone PM me a stream link?

[YardRat]

I'll take 1 yard average on runs against.

- - - Updated - - -

3 and OUT !!!

GET ****ING USED TO IT NFL !!!

[Slim]

Good showing for the defense. No Anderson yet.

[Marvelous]

:gobills:
I'm ready. Got the helmets page open and just cranked up the Shout song.

--I'm excited to see what the rooms & 2nd year kids do.
--ESP this years rooks. This draft class really has me excited.
If not for 3rd round Wr questionable pick. But I'd love to crow that.
LET'S go!!!

[YardRat]

Welcome to the NFL, Mr. Glenn :ill:

[Slim]

Glenn looking a little slow off the ball that series.

[Slim]

Kyle Williams looking good.

[DraftBoy]

Good to see the middle of our DL doing work early.

Tweets said Fitz took another shot on 3rd down? Was that Glenn getting beat again?

[Marvelous]

Bah ,,,, delay.

[MikeInRoch]

FUMBLE! :D

[Slim]

This line isn't giving an inch.

- - - Updated - - -

Glenn got pushed back into the pocket a bit, but no I don't believe it was Glenn getting beat.

[DraftBoy]

Take a shot at the end zone immediately.

[Slim]

All quick passes on offense.

- - - Updated - - -

Sloppy game so far for both teams.

[Marvelous]

Does Glenn have to block Orakpo?
Is he starting @LT? If so, talk about welcome to the nfl.

[HAMMER]

Typical Buffalo Slop Fest, shooting themselves in the foot.

[MikeInRoch]

Yeah. Everyone looks great in the first quarter of the preseason.

[ServoBillieves]

Foot = shot.

3-0 lead.

TD? Penalty. First down? Penalty. BUT, Stevie looks good, right side of the line looks good so far. CJ should know about formations by now, but hey, it's preseason.

[MikeInRoch]

Glenn against Orakpo is great - get him used to what he'll have to face.

[HAMMER]

There will be no kick returns for the opposition this year, Potter crushes the ball.

[Slim]

Garcon acting like a little ***** after that catch. Go across the middle again ****er.

[Slim]

Defense getting gashed.

[DraftBoy]

Last thing I wanted to see was RGIII start hitting big passes.

[Slim]

Shepp limped off the field.

But he's back.

[HAMMER]

Redskins O-Line dominating this drive, Mario getting blown off the ball.

[Slim]

So, about this pass rush....

[HAMMER]

Fugly, this team is not looking good.

[DraftBoy]

RGIII with a big drive there, wouldn't shock me if Shanny pulls him here to end his first game on a high note.

[Slim]

Has Garcon always been a show boater? He's getting on my nerves. It's preseason boss.

- - - Updated - - -


RGIII with a big drive there, wouldn't shock me if Shanny pulls him here to end his first game on a high note.

I agree. He's done.

[Novacane]

Thing that sucks about radio is they don't tell you who is it that can't cover Garcon. I'm hoping it's Mckelvin since we already know he blows.

[Slim]

I want RG3 back out there. I doubt it, but I'd like to see him take a hit.

[Scumbag College]

No pass rush and sloppy offensive play so far.

[Novacane]

Sloppy sloppy sloppy

[Slim]

Thing that sucks about radio is they don't tell you who is it that can't cover Garcon. I'm hoping it's Mckelvin since we already know he blows.

It was a WR screen. Gilmore and Leo both got blocked pretty well.

[Novacane]

No pass rush and sloppy offensive play so far.



Sounds familiar

[kingJofNYC]

Running the football is now banned in Buffalo.

[Slim]

I don't think we've had a RB in the backfield yet on offense.

- - - Updated - - -

What a catch. WOW. Down the seam to Chandler.

[HAMMER]

Not one run play yet for Bills, WTF?

[MikeInRoch]

I'd rather have them practicing passing. That's fine.

[Slim]

I'd rather have them practicing passing. That's fine.

I'm guessing the passing offense isn't quite as far along.

[Novacane]

This is way to familiar. Moorman the Bills best player

[DraftBoy]

That was a nice sign from Fitz.

Still mechanical issues, arm slot is dropping down, feet aren't set.

[Meathead]

yardrats favorite player with the punt downed inside the five!

[kingJofNYC]

Same **** as last year, trying to beat teams with our weakest players.

[Slim]

Gailey and Moorman are PISSED. WOW.

[Slim]

That was a nice sign from Fitz.

Still mechanical issues, arm slot is dropping down, feet aren't set.

What was a nice sign? Him hitting the seam throw? The back shoulder throw on third down looked catchable as well.

[Novacane]

Refs is preseason form too

[Crisis]

wtf are these refs looking at? thats not even close

[SabreEleven]

These are replacement refs and it shows.

- - - Updated - - -

Are these middle school refs?

[Slim]

The officials union are laughing their asses off right now.

[MikeInRoch]

Same **** as last year, trying to beat teams with our weakest players.

In the preseason. When it doesn't matter. What a stupid post.

[Slim]

Still running starters on defense.

[BADTHINGSMAN]

Holy junk that was awful. Did these replacement refs even study the rule books? Or even where the F'n endzones are.

[Slim]

Glenn is looking pretty bad. Get's beat again and a false start.

[kingJofNYC]

what on earth is going on O.

**** is putrid, now we know why the D is getting the better play in camp.

[Novacane]

Hope they ditch this no huddle when the games count

[Slim]

Missed interference call. Not liking these replacement refs.

[Crisis]

never thought i'd miss NFL officials

[Dantheman1280]

Are we ever going to run the ball? WTF?

[kingJofNYC]

backs are missing blitz pick ups, but we keep passing, maybe chan wants thigpen to start the season.

[Slim]

Merriman draws the hold. He looked quick off the line.

[Crisis]

merriman back in his preseason MVP form

[Buffalo Thriller]

Anderson looks quick.

[Slim]

Spencer Johnson is being pretty disruptive. He's an underrated player.

[Slim]

Kyle Moore doesn't look out of place. He's a pretty big boy.

[Slim]

Thigpen time. It would be great to see Easley or Graham make a play.

[kingJofNYC]

Saenz has made a couple of plays. Reacting quickly.

[HAMMER]

Consecutive false starts, I need my head examined for watching this schnit.

[kingJofNYC]

Can't even get plays off.

[HAMMER]

Three in four plays now.

[Crisis]

thigpen still sucks

[kingJofNYC]

Looks like a Jauron coached team. Pretty ****ing pathetic to come out and commit this many penalties on one side of the ball.

[Skooby]

Oh man we don't look too hot.

[HAMMER]

WOW, PigPen is Brutal. Our O-Line better protect Fitz cause if he goes down we won't win one game.

[2slowtogofast]

How did Mario look for the people who are watching?

[Slim]

How did Mario look for the people who are watching?

Held his ground well on a few run plays, I think he may have even made a stop. He was kind of dogging it, which isn't really surprising.

[Slim]

Clowney and Graham at WR. Thigpen cannot overthrow these guys.

[HAMMER]

How did Mario look for the people who are watching?

Horrible against the run, mediocre pash rush.

[Slim]

These refs are making me nervous. Missing blatant calls. Yikes.

[Skooby]

Horrible against the run, mediocre pash rush.

This means 0.

[BillsOverDolphins]

Lol@those assclowns who thought the offense wouldnt be an issue.

[Slim]

Lol@those assclowns who thought the offense wouldnt be an issue.

It's a little to early to say it will be. The defense didn't look good either. Classic case of SSS, which don't form good theories.

- - - Updated - - -

Powell picked the wrong team, Moorman has looked as good as ever.

[THRILLHO]

Thank you to those who are updating from those of us with out the ability to watch. I will keep refreshing and rely on your notes.

[Slim]

Great coverage by Brooks. Love how he played the ball in the air. Leodis should watch that.

More like SSDD.

[YardRat]

Is it just me or is Saenz around the ball a lot?

[HAMMER]

Graham looks good, smokin his man most plays.

[Slim]

Nice cut by Choice to make the first guy miss.

[kingJofNYC]

Is it just me or is Saenz around the ball a lot?
he's been active, secondary looks okay, they were playing soft a bit in that first quarter.

[Slim]

Julio Jones tonight. 6-109 and a TD. In one quarter.

- - - Updated - - -

Hairston playing LT.

[Slim]

Bills backup interior line looking pretty weak. Obviously we have some injuries but still.

[kingJofNYC]

choice is ****

[Slim]

Thigpen is bad. WTF was that throw?

[HAMMER]

6 plays from the 3 yard line and lost one yard, WTF!

[BillsOverDolphins]

Embarrassing.

[YardRat]

:rofl:

6 plays from the 3 in, minus yardage, and a missed FG.

Thank god this is the first preseason game.

[Slim]

Lindell misses a 22 yarder. LOL

[HAMMER]

Missed chip shot by Lindell.

- - - Updated - - -

I want my twenty bucks back.

[YardRat]

Six penalties already.

[Scumbag College]

Is it the regular season yet? This sucks.

[DraftBoy]

Both sides of the ball can be summed up by saying....sloppy!

[Skooby]

Where is Potter !!!!

[BillsOverDolphins]

:rofl:

6 plays from the 3 in, minus yardage, and a missed FG.

Thank god this is the first preseason game.

Theyre already in regular season form.

[Slim]

Kyle Moore looking pretty solid. Nice little spin move that beat his man on that run play.

[kingJofNYC]

Moats has looked the part tonight.

[Slim]

Brooks INT.

[YardRat]

I like Brooks a lot.

[Slim]

I like Brooks a lot.

Badly thrown ball, but good play to stab that out of the air for the INT.

- - - Updated - - -

Anyone else kind of hoping for a 60+ yard field goal try to close the half from Potter?

[Skooby]

Brooks INT might give Moorman a chance to miss a long FG.

[kingJofNYC]

Thigpen blows.

[Slim]

Thigpen INT. Thigpen sucks. I want to see VY.

[Scumbag College]

Bills second team DBs looking good. McLovin might not be here come opening day.

[Buffalo Thriller]

We look like elephant ****.

[Slim]

Under throw our fastest WR by about 8 yards. Impressive.

[Scumbag College]

We look like elephant ****.

That's offensive.

elephant **** looks better than this

[Slim]

Off topic- But man am I sick to my stomach that Dwight Howard is going to LA. I hope that ungrateful ***** blows his knees. Lakers with Nash,Kobe,Pau, and Howard. Insane.

[HAMMER]

Graham would be the bees knees if we had a QB that could get him the ball.

[Buffalo Thriller]

Good point.

[Mad Max]

Tyler Thigpen I salute you sir !

You are making millions when you should asking me if I'd like to large size my order.

[Mad Max]

Great

Now most of us will just have two ultra douchey teams to root against...the cHeat and the fakers

[HAMMER]

Alright, I apologize for my negativity, it's preseason. In looking at stats from the other games they are no better.

[DraftBoy]

Here are my random first half thoughts, Im rewatching the game on Saturday morning for a full write-up;
Chandler had that great catch down the seam, and will be a go to guy between the 20's. Still want to see him utilized more in the RZ

Fitzpatrick to Stevie looks to be in midseason form

Fitzpatrick's mechanics are still not there, had at least two (maybe more) passes tipped due to lower arm slot

Fitzpatrick's accuracy was all over the place, some throws were dead on, and some were high, low, or just off target

One place I thought Fitz looked good was on anticipation throws where he made the throw before the break (hitch route), however anything that traveled more than 10 yards in the air was not on target or all that close.

Glenn is not ready to the LT, beat more than a few times, a false start penalty, and got pushed into the pocket on a number of occasions

Saenz is all over the field and much better than I expected. Needs to keep his head up and not just look for the hit.

Ron Brooks is going to be really good, right place, right time at all times.

Spencer Johnson and Merriman had some nice burst.

Graham has plenty of speed but dont love the body catch, use your hands.

Thigpen is just as bad as advertised.

[Slim]

Tj Graham is going to make some plays this year.

[Slim]

I'm ready to see VY, White, and Easley go at it. I'm guessing Thigpen will probably get 2-3 series in the second half.

[Skooby]

Our master plan to show our opponents nothing is working perfectly, muhahaha.

[kingJofNYC]

Our master plan to show our opponents nothing is working perfectly, muhahaha.

Gailey's a genius!

[Slim]

Nice. Young starting the second half.

[Slim]

Anyone else with the NFL.com preseason subscription having problems? It's says the game is black out now. I live in Bakersfield, California. It should not be blacked out.

NM. It's working again.

[HAMMER]

I'm in San Diego and have had no issues but it says Broncos-Chicago is blacked out?

[Slim]

I'm in San Diego and have had no issues but it says Broncos-Chicago is blacked out?

All my games went to blacked out. I refreshed the window and it fixed the problem.

[Slim]

Powell has a leg. He has a future in the NFL.

[Mad Max]

I'm in San Diego and have had no issues but it says Broncos-Chicago is blacked out?

I wonder if that means local blackout? So someone trying to watch online in those local markets are sol.

[Slim]

Nice pressure by Batten.

[Slim]

Green drops a pick, 2 pbu's on this series though. Cousins's two deep balls haven't been very pretty, looks like theres some wobble on those balls. Hard to tell for sure though.

[Scumbag College]

Isiah Green should at least stick in the practice squad. He's made a bunch of plays and is faster than pretty much everyone.

[Mad Max]

Green drops a pick, 2 pbu's on this series though. Cousins's two deep balls haven't been very pretty, looks like theres some wobble on those balls. Hard to tell for sure though.

Greens looked pretty good overall. Will be an interesting battle for the available DB slots

[Slim]

I know its early and yadda yadda yadda, but Mark Anderson looked pretty bad IMO. Got knocked off the line of scrimmage and didn't get pressure. Even against second stringers.

[Slim]

Greens looked pretty good overall. Will be an interesting battle for the available DB slots

The most he can hope for is a PS invite. But I think Prince Miller is the CB who gets one.

[kingJofNYC]

Good run by White. Dude was dead to rights but managed to gain yards.

[Slim]

Johnny White with a sick run. Looking pretty quick, even with a bad wheel.

[Slim]

The best part about our backup QB's today, has been VY's legs.

[Mad Max]

VY as big a noodlehead as he is has to beat Pigpen out?

[Slim]

VY as big a noodlehead as he is has to beat Pigpen out?

Hopefully one of them gets better as camp goes on.

[Mad Max]

Hopefully one of them gets better as camp goes on.

I'm not counting on that from Pigpen and only marginally from VY. It's just that at least when VY isn't doing something dumb he can make some stellar plays... pigpen is only ever pigpen

[Slim]

Jasper is comically huge. I bet they cut that jersey off of him at the end of the game.

[ublinkwescore]

Woohoo!! We can get field goals again!!!

[Skooby]

We need Potter kicking the ball more!!

[Slim]

Tank with the face mask penalty.

[Mad Max]

We need Potter kicking the ball more!!

What are the odds that his nickname ISN'T Harry?

[Slim]

Batten looks quicker this year. Haven't heard anything about him out of camp.

[ublinkwescore]

Potter has been a nice surprise.... Or should I say as advertised on kickoffs - should help the IR list from getting too big.

[Mad Max]

Potter has been a nice surprise.... Or should I say as advertised on kickoffs - should help the IR list from getting too big.

Hope we keep him for kickoffs, insurance, and heir apparent

[Slim]

I do not remember Eddins making the team out-right last season.

[Slim]

I'm already getting annoyed with Tasker's commentary. The dude mispronounces names and calls players by the wrong name constantly.

- - - Updated - - -

Moore bringing the heat. He's going to make this team.

[Slim]

Nick Foles is doing a fantastic vintage Kevin Kolb impersonation for the Eagles.

[Slim]

Great throw by Young to Clowney

- - - Updated - - -

Young getting in a rhythm.

[kingJofNYC]

Kyle Moore looked really good that last series.

[Slim]

Kyle Moore looked really good that last series.

He made some solid plays in the first half as well. Color me impressed.

[ServoBillieves]

has Mike Asper been in the game at all?

[Slim]

Graham alligator arms a pass. Bad throw though.

- - - Updated - - -


has Mike Asper been in the game at all?

Yep. Pretty sure he ran with the two's. And he's still in #69, LG.

[Slim]

DB pimping his boy Carmon on twitter right now. I haven't really noticed him, which isn't a bad thing for a T.

[DraftBoy]

Carmon looks like the best lineman among the 3rd unit. Sanders not so much.

[Skooby]

Did anyone have to pay to watch this game?? If so, you have my sympathies.

[Slim]

Nice PBU by Howell.

[BillsOverDolphins]

You're a terrible fan. This is excellent football we're watching, and nowhere near indicative of the type of ineptitude and futility we've witnessed the last 12 years! If you can't see that this year is different then you're an ******* sir!

I'm glad you're coming around!

[Scumbag College]

At least there's some "excitement" with the Bills getting the ball back near midfield with 4 minutes left down by one.

[Mad Max]

Did anyone have to pay to watch this game?? If so, you have my sympathies.

Yes but it's only 5 bucks a game. If it were 10 it would border on pissing me off maybe hah

[Slim]

I want to see a Potter 70 yard field goal to win this bad boy.

[Slim]

LOL. Worst series ever. Wow. Did we have three lineman on the line or what?

[zone]

Did anyone have to pay to watch this game?? If so, you have my sympathies.

Yea dude it was less than 35 cents.

[BillsOverDolphins]

This franchise is a mass of confusion.

fify

[Slim]

39 passes for Redskins QB's tonight and not a single sack. Not than many knockdowns either.

[Skooby]

Game over man, goodnight.

[ServoBillieves]

Season is doomed.

[Mad Max]

I gotta stop watching the 4th quarters of Pre season games. Nothing to see but future dock workers and insurance agents

[Philagape]

14 penalties for 134 yards, including eight false starts
4-for-16 on third down
A missed 22-yard FG
and 219 total yards.

Mid-season form!

[Skooby]

That 22yd miss was the kicker.

[The King]

Carder needs to tackle below the waiist. He tried twice to tackle above the shoulder pads.
