Bills @ Lions GDT

[Slim]

Nice first drive.
7-0 Bills

[mikemac2001]

dude it doesnt matter its preseason

spiller looked nice tho

[Buffalo Thriller]

Good looking fade by fitz

[Slim]

Good looking fade by fitz

Stevie schooled the DB on that route.

[Novacane]

Nice wiff Moats. Our LBs suck

[CoolBreeze]

Nice first drive.
7-0 Bills
Whoa, whoa, whoa... Do not get excited. According to Hurkeynuts and OPiV this team blows, and you shouldn't overreact to the Bills driving it down the throat of the Detroit Lions.

[CoolBreeze]

Oh no, The best receiver in football just scored.... The season is over!!!!!

[MikeInRoch]

In fairness, I don't think I've seen a message from OPiV that the team as a whole blows.

As for Hurkey, consider the source.

[Novacane]

That was easy. Nice job D

[Slim]

Calvin Johnson is good. 7-7

[Slim]

Meatball didn't play that entire drive. Bills defense needs to learn to get off the field on third down.

[2slowtogofast]

Ugggh

[mikemac2001]

i wanted to see the o look like it had a pulse and it looked a lot like last year alot of the same looks but setting up plays

[Slim]

Why is Brad Smith returning kicks? Why not Justin Rodgers or Mckelvin?

[Skooby]

I stepped away from the screen, how did we lose the ball ??

[Novacane]

Is the Bills D even trying?

[kingJofNYC]

A.Williams is going to really have an up and down year, just not consistent.

[Novacane]

I stepped away from the screen, how did we lose the ball ??


Brad smith fumble KO

[kingJofNYC]

Is the Bills D even trying?
Second team already in on that drive.

[MikeInRoch]

Brad Smith fumbled the kickoff. Detroit got it at the 9 or so.

[jamze132]

If Smith is going to be fumbling kickoffs, he's absolutely worthless to this team. Who holds a ball like that knowing you're about to get hit by 11 guys coming at you?

[Novacane]

Second team already in on that drive.


I know. It didn't look like they were trying. Or maybe they just suck.

[kingJofNYC]

I know. It didn't look like they were trying. Or maybe they just suck.

Seeing as how our first unit isn't that great, probably just suck. Spencer Johnson got trucked into the endzone, dude was running with the ones last year.

[Slim]

I know. It didn't look like they were trying. Or maybe they just suck.

Considering whats at stake for some of them, they better be trying.

On a different note, I wonder when we see T-Jax come in. Either in the 4th or for a series or two right meow.

[kingJofNYC]

i think moats and a.williams should play more, they need reps at their respective positions, probably won't but they should.

[Slim]

Seeing as how our first unit isn't that great, probably just suck. Spencer Johnson got trucked into the endzone, dude was running with the ones last year.

He played with the ones the entire first drive.

[Novacane]

PLEASE cut Thigpen

[Novacane]

You'd never know a lot of these guys are playing for their jobs.

[Buffalo Thriller]

Thigpen needs to play arena football.

[Slim]

Thigpen throws such an ugly ball.

- - - Updated - - -

I hate "home-team" football announcers. Not only do they know nothing about the opposition, but they are terrible homers.

[Novacane]

This team doesn't have 53 guys worthy of being on an NFL roster

[Slim]

:rofl:

At the Lions announcer, "Two refs through their hands up and singled touchdown".

Umm, no, they raised one hand in the air and were marking the spot of the ball.

[TacklingDummy]

Going to be another long season.

Hopefully we get a top 5 pick and rid of Chan.

[Slim]

This Lions team is ****ing chippy. About 10 second after the TD, Hill gets out of the pile, and spikes it as hard as he can with his helmet off.

[Novacane]

Going to be another long season.

Hopefully we get a top 5 pick and rid of Chan.


you should know better than that by now. They will get a couple late meaningless wins that screw us out of a franchise QB.

[Novacane]

LMAO. And there is the nail in Tyler Thigpens coffin

[Mr. Pink]

Get Pigpen off this team.

[BillsFanInNM]

Thigpen better not even be allowed on the plane back to Buffalo, dude wouldn't even make an arena league team.

[Slim]

LOL. Thigpen is done.

[Slim]

The worst part about this game is the fact that we have to watch Thigpen for almost the entirety of the game.

[Novacane]

Enjoy the next couple quarters of football Tyler. They will be the last of your career.

[Slim]

28 points in 4 minutes and 50 seconds.

[Generalissimus Gibby]

Enjoy the next couple quarters of football Tyler. They will be the last of your career.
Too bad too, he showed lots of heart back in 2008, its a shame he was a flash in the pan.

[Mr. Pink]

The worst part about this game is the fact that we have to watch Thigpen for almost the entirety of the game.

We're gonna be stuck watching him until at least midway into the 3rd.

I wanna see Jackson as I haven't seen him play in a couple years to see how he looks.

[MidnightVoice]

OK, so I know this is only the preseason, but this is a bit much

[Slim]

34-109 point differential this preseason.

[Slim]

We're gonna be stuck watching him until at least midway into the 3rd.

I wanna see Jackson as I haven't seen him play in a couple years to see how he looks.

Maaaaybbee. Jackson only practiced with the team twice. The playbook for his is going to be soooo limited. I hope you're right though.

[ckg927]

Yeah, getting drilled 28-7(as of now)is bad.

Then again, in 2008 Detroit was perfect in the preseason.

And after that they couldn't buy a win in the regular season.

PS games are little more than glorified scrimmages which you have to pay regular season money for. Furthermore, there are only 2 groups of people who give a damn: the families of the players involved, and gamblers. We are neither of them.

[Novacane]

I almost feel bad for Thigpen right now. This has to be humiliating to play this bad.

[Slim]

I almost feel bad for Thigpen right now. This has to be humiliating to play this bad.

Three years, 9 million. He'll manage.

[Mr. Pink]

Maaaaybbee. Jackson only practiced with the team twice. The playbook for his is going to be soooo limited. I hope you're right though.

I could see Jackson maybe getting 3 offensive series to see what he has in game situation.

Obviously he won't set the world on fire seeing his limited knowledge of the playbook and the fact that might only have about 10 plays that he can actually run at this point. Just hoping he has better decision making and puts passes in the right places ie. not on the ground behind a WR like Pigpen.

[Generalissimus Gibby]

Chan needs to do something similar to what, according to legend, former Falcons coach Jerry Glanville was supposed to do. Much like Glanville is alleged to have cut a guy at halftime after making him hit a player to prove he could hit something, Chan needs to cut Thigpen at the half and force him to complete a pass before he leaves the locker room to prove he could complete something.

[kingJofNYC]

I'm sure cutting Thigpen at halftime will get the rest of the team to play better.

[Mr. Pink]

McKelvin is looking pretty good this preseason at least in special teams situations.

[Johnny Bugmenot]

Too bad too, he showed lots of heart back in 2008, its a shame he was a flash in the pan.
1-9, Gibby. Remember that.

Thigpen has never been a good quarterback.

[Novacane]

Three years, 9 million. He'll manage.



Ok. I don't feel sorry for him lol

[kingJofNYC]

McKelvin is looking pretty good this preseason at least in special teams situations.

He's looked better than A.Williams in coverage, he's done okay for himself. Best he's looked as a Bill, not saying much though.

[Generalissimus Gibby]

I'm sure cutting Thigpen at halftime will get the rest of the team to play better.
I don't see how it would hurt

- - - Updated - - -


1-9, Gibby. Remember that.

Thigpen has never been a good quarterback.

True, but he played well in those losses, he doesn't even look like his head is in the game anymore, and it didn't look any different last year.

[kingJofNYC]

can we see johnny white for a change.

[Slim]

can we see johnny white for a change.

From everything I've read, Choice has outplayed him all camp. A foot injury has really worked against White.

[kingJofNYC]

From everything I've read, Choice has outplayed him all camp. A foot injury has really worked against White.

yeah, i think the odds were stacked against white, but i'd rather watch him than choice, rarely got to see white run.

[kingJofNYC]

white walks into the endzone if thigpen could throw the ball.

[Slim]

white walks into the endzone if thigpen could throw the ball.

Martin was open in the end zone about 8 yards behind White too.

[kingJofNYC]

Hagan was open in the end zone about 8 yards behind White too.

yeah, it was actually a well designed play, too bad they didn't execute.

[JoeMama]

OMG you guys, has anyone else noticed that Tyler Thigpen isn't very good???

[YardRat]

OMG you guys, has anyone else noticed that Tyler Thigpen isn't very good???

You can say that about a lot of guys on the field right now...for both sides, actually.

Just fill in the blank.

OMG you guys, has anyone else noticed that ____________ isn't very good???

[OpIv37]

Whoa, whoa, whoa... Do not get excited. According to Hurkeynuts and OPiV this team blows, and you shouldn't overreact to the Bills driving it down the throat of the Detroit Lions.


In fairness, I don't think I've seen a message from OPiV that the team as a whole blows.

As for Hurkey, consider the source.

He's right- I haven't said the whole team blows. In fact, I predicted 9-7 in the official predictions thread.

What I've said was that preseason matters, in the sense that the problems we see in preseason aren't going to magically go away once the regular season starts. For example, our LB's have been missing tackles all preseason. They're not going to suddenly start tackling once the regular season starts.

I honestly don't care about the score of the preseason games, especially when it's our backups getting lit up. But I do think that there are certain things about the team that can be assessed from preseason, and I'm not liking our WR's or LB's and I'm concerned about Fitz. I definitely like the DL, ST has been on fire, I like Jackson, and I think Cordy Glenn and Gilmore are showing a lot of promise.

(however I'm out of market so I haven't seen any of tonight's game yet).

[kingJofNYC]

Bad half for Bradham.

Did any of you guys catch the Jets/Panthers game last week? Kuechly was insane, going to be a great LB, shame we can't clone him.

[kingJofNYC]

zebrie sanders has no business making this team, terrible.

[Slim]

Someone needs to stick up for Thigpen there.

[Slim]

Nice looking drive for the Bills.

[Mr. Pink]

Pigpen looked pretty good on a drive! I'm shocked.

[kingJofNYC]

Someone needs to stick up for Thigpen there.

yeah, no one really gave a ****


Pigpen looked pretty good on a drive! I'm shocked.

OL played better, Zebrie wasn't being pushed back into Thigpen.

[OpIv37]

Pigpen looked pretty good on a drive! I'm shocked.

Check the Lions' cuts tomorrow morning. I bet the names on the backs of the jerseys of the defenders who were out there will match up pretty closely.

[kingJofNYC]

good first two series for bradham

[Buffalo Thriller]

Just put jackson in....

[Novacane]

Woo hoo!!! Thigpen is lighting up the Lions cuts.

[Johnny Bugmenot]

Bad half for Bradham.

Did any of you guys catch the Jets/Panthers game last week? Kuechly was insane, going to be a great LB, shame we can't clone him. Bradham hasn't played well very much at all this season.

Note that last week, the first team was out, played solid. Throw Bradham into the mix, the team gives up the 98-yard drive.

He should be on the cut list.

[Slim]

Thigpen gets in a rhythm for his first time as a Bill. To bad it's already probably too late. I'm liking the back shoulder throws in the offense this year though, I don't remember seeing this many last year.

[Slim]

Nice play by Carder snuffing out that screen.

[BertSquirtgum]

Bills stink. Yippeee

[Slim]

Color me surprised with TJ Graham this preseason. He's gotten open pretty consistently, and really hasn't done anything negative.

[Slim]

Lion's announcer on Kyle Williams.

"Now, is he one of the Williams brother's from Minnesota?"

[Slim]

Easley!!!!

[MikeInRoch]

That was a heck of an effort on the conversion too. Did he just make the team?

- - - Updated - - -


Bills stink. Yippeee

Thank you for that quality and deep insight.

[Slim]

Easley single handedly puts the Bills in the lead.

[Scumbag College]

Of all the "bubble" WRs that can go either way of being cut or making the team, Easley is far and away the most physically gifted.

[Slim]

Probably be Tjax the rest of the way.

[Slim]

And we suck again.

[TacklingDummy]

SUPER BOWL

[Cali512]

Im cringing at the Braham hit. You can tell something broke or messed up. He jogged away saying **** repeatidly

[Slim]

Ugly pick by Jackson. You can tell he needs wayyyy more time.

[Mr. Pink]

Ummm, why is Pigpen back in? I'm confused.

[Slim]

Ummm, why is Pigpen back in? I'm confused.

Doubt Jackson and his two days of practice could run a two minute drill.

[The Natrix]

I think even Thig is shocked that he is going to make the team...

[Mr. Pink]

Doubt Jackson and his two days of practice could run a two minute drill.

Eh, as long as Jackson knew like 5 pass plays he should have been able to manage.

Especially with the pass plays we ended up using and the fact in the situation Detroit is gonna give up 10 yard pass plays over the middle all you'd want.

[SquishDaFish]

Thank you for that quality and deep insight.

Thats about all he can contribute. Horrible poster
