Bills VS Steelers GDT !!

[Skooby]

Go Bills !!!

[Night Train]

It's only pre-season.

Anything good... means nothing.


Anything bad... means everything.

[SpikedLemonade]

I am looking forward to seeing the first stringers.

[better days]

I don't care that the game does not count in the standings, I still enjoy watching it & I want to see the Bills win.

I also want to see if EJ can be consistent & put the ball in the end zone.

[coastal]

Mitchmurraydowntown karma!!!

[Parzival]

Just want to see E.J. look like a competent young QB. And of course, no injuries for either team.

[ServoBillieves]

Here's to no injuries for either team.

Here's also to hoping Stevie doesn't drop a TD in overtime to seal the vi... oh wait he's gone? Well then just GO BILLS!

[justasportsfan]

No injuries please

[BertSquirtgum]

Mitchmurraydowntown karma!!!

Why do you post this every time?

[ghz in pittsburgh]

Again a last minute opportunity - heading over to Heinz Field in a couple of minutes. Not my usual sources of tickets. But having the visitors sideline pass (for up to minutes before kickoff is too difficult to pass on ...

Those sideline passes are the best, it's really cool to see the players up close and talk with the coaches.

[Luisito23]

GO BILL$!!!

[SpikedLemonade]

Russ is on after the commercial to talk about the Bills sales process.

[SpikedLemonade]

He said nothing.

[SpikedLemonade]

Spiller returning kick offs?

Why not?

[YardRat]

Spiller is on the block...I wouldn't be surprised if he was gone within a week. No other reason to have him on KO's, except to show him off.

[SpikedLemonade]

EJ getting plenty of time to pass.

[SpikedLemonade]

Woods was wide open.

EJ inaccurate.

[Mace]

Pains me to say it, Manuel looks real Trent Edwards to me as it goes.

[ICRockets]

If the short throws are open, there's nothing wrong with making them on 1st and 2nd downs. Trent's problem was that he'd settle for 4 yards on 3rd and 9.

[YardRat]

Woods was wide open.

EJ inaccurate.

Yeah. 4 for 5 sucks. Cut him now.

[JoeMama]

Gotta make a better throw to Woods on that 3 & 1.

Don't like the way our drives keep dying near or in the red zone all preseason.

[ublinkwescore]

I want to see our dline dominate Pittsburgh's oline.

[ICRockets]

Gotta make a better throw to Woods on that 3 & 1.

Don't like the way our drives keep dying near or in the red zone all preseason.

That said, when we've got our line settled in and our starting 5 finalized, that's likely a scenario where we run in the regular season.

[SpikedLemonade]

Sammy injured.

[BillsImpossible]

Sammy Watkins rib injury.

TD, double whopper.

[SpikedLemonade]

Interesting coverage.

[BillsImpossible]

No onions.

[Skooby]

Doo doo Brown torched us for a TD.

[ublinkwescore]

Did we already pull our starting safeties? Wtf is searcy doing in there?

[BillsImpossible]

Keep Sammy out for the rest of preseason, good with that.

[ParanoidAndroid]

Did anyone notice Nigel Bradham running past Williams and Searcy in pursuit?

[JoeMama]

Did anyone notice Nigel Bradham running past Williams and Searcy in pursuit?

Bradham has sick wheels.

Too bad Da'Norris took such a terrible angle on that slant.

Don't know who all was out of place but Searcy got burned.

Jairus Byrd totally sucks! AMIRITE???

[ublinkwescore]

Searcy is slow. He better learn to take the right angles to contain.

[SpikedLemonade]

That's two screens where the OL simply failed to block.

[BertSquirtgum]

Why even throw that?

[BillsImpossible]

Good Lord.

[SeatownBillsFan21]

This O is boring as ****

[BertSquirtgum]

EJ blows

[JoeMama]

EJ Manuel looking like EJ Manuel.

Sigh...

[SpikedLemonade]

I hope EJ works out. I like when we drafted him. There is a lot to like.

However, his accuracy is a big issue.

[ICRockets]

Why is the timestamp off right now? It's a full half hour behind,

[ublinkwescore]

I blame this drive on our oline. ****ty blocking. Why double team an interior lineman on an apparentblitz dfrom the outside?

[Novacane]

This game couldn't of gotten off to a worse start. Hope Sammy's ok.

[YardRat]

Horrible pass.

[JoeMama]

Only an hour til the big fight is on.

Then I can turn this preseason bull**** off and watch a real sport.

[Mace]

I hope EJ works out. I like when we drafted him. There is a lot to like.

However, his accuracy is a big issue.

I think it's more his perception, he doesn't seem to see the field well in real time.

[BertSquirtgum]

Gilmore is so bad that I can't even put it into words.

[SpikedLemonade]

Our secondary torched again.

[JoeMama]

Two weeks, two ugly TDs given up at Gilmore's expense.

[Mace]

Defense still looks bendier to me.

[SpikedLemonade]

Gilmore is so bad that I can't even put it into words.

He may become a decent CB, but he will never be elite.

[BillsImpossible]

Preseason doesn't matter my ass.

[Mace]

Marrone giving the boys a pat on the back. Um.

[JoeMama]

He may become a decent CB, but he will never be elite.

If he works really hard maybe one day he can be as good as Ken Irvin.

[SpikedLemonade]

Preseason doesn't matter my ass.

With the Bucs and Lions coming to The Ralph, we will probably still end up 3-2 this pre-season.

[YardRat]

Gotta get to the QB

[Novacane]

Discouraging

[SpikedLemonade]

So will TJ Graham survive to the final cut?

He sure isn't going to make the team.

[Bunion]

It may just be that I'm getting home from a party, and I'm drunk...but this is chicken****.

[JoeMama]

EJ drops back, fires a laser to the outside... to no one in particular.

Looking sharp, guys!

[Mr. Pink]

EJ drops back, fires a laser to the outside... to no one in particular.

Looking sharp, guys!

He was staring down the ground to the outside :lol:

[Mace]

I still don't get why Marrone was patting them on the back after the extra point. Good work, good work boys, we didn't give up 8.

[Skooby]

So will TJ Graham survive to the final cut?

He sure isn't going to make the team.

He shouldn't even be allowed on the plane, just leave him there.

[SpikedLemonade]

If Spiller is being showcased, he certainly isn't building up demand.

[Mace]

He shouldn't even be allowed on the plane, just leave him there.

Made me laugh.

[SpikedLemonade]

Freddie is running so much better than CJ.

[Mace]

I think I've lost my perspective on preseason games. I want them to shred every series.

[BertSquirtgum]

Holy ****

[Mr. Pink]

Steve Tasker is a god awful announcer.

Nice play there by Chandler to get them in FG range.

[JoeMama]

Oh goody. Another drive stalls in our end. EJ's hopeless. Hope Tuel is getting that arm nice and warmed up.

[Mace]

got to like Carpenter. Sorry he has to work so much but hey

[JoeMama]

Freddie is running so much better than CJ.

Gotta love FJax.

It's the law.

There's absolutely nothing NOT to love about the guy.

[BillsImpossible]

Manuel looks horrible after practicing against the Steelers defense for the past 2 days.

[Mace]

Steve Tasker is a god awful announcer.

Nice play there by Chandler to get them in FG range.

Just noticed you're entirely red, Pink, how in the world did you manage so terrible a rep ?

[SpikedLemonade]

I think this experiment is over.

Carpenter can handle all kicking duties.

Cut Hopkins.

[Buffalo Thriller]

I'm not watching. How bad did Sammy's injury look?

[Mr. Pink]

Just noticed you're entirely red, Pink, how in the world did you manage so terrible a rep ?

Years ago a poster was given almost unlimited rep, I asked him to neg me since I think internet popularity is about as useful as a one legged man in an ass kicking contest. When we used to actually have numbers that went with our green/red bars mine was -80k :rofl:

[SpikedLemonade]

Spikes is in there as a 3rd down LB.

That has to be just a looks see.

[Skooby]

Years ago a poster was given almost unlimited rep, I asked him to neg me since I think internet popularity is about as useful as a one legged man in an ass kicking contest. When we used to actually have numbers that went with our green/red bars mine was -80k :rofl:

It was Bill Brasky that was given the power.

[YardRat]

Nice play by Spikes to stop a first down.

[Mace]

I admit it made me laugh. It's impressive.

[Mr. Pink]

It was Bill Brasky that was given the power.

I think he was still JFreeman at that time.

[SeatownBillsFan21]

Alright EJ this is prolly your last chance tonight make somthing happen

[Skooby]

I think he was still JFreeman at that time.

Hmmm, maybe it was.

[Mr. Pink]

Rib injury to Watkins, out for the rest of the evening...nothing known for long-term right now.

For those not watching.

[SpikedLemonade]

I am loving Woods.

[SpikedLemonade]

I sense this coaching staff has pretty much given up on Spiller.

He is simply not hitting the holes before starting to dance.

- - - Updated - - -

EJ seems to have chemistry with Woods.

[YardRat]

That pass was as good as Ben's TD throw.

[JoeMama]

That pass was as good as Ben's TD throw.

Too bad they only had 10 men on the field and it wasn't a touchdown. Then it truly would have truly been AWESOME AND EXTREME TO THE MAX!

[BertSquirtgum]

Too bad they only had 10 men on the field and it wasn't a touchdown. Then it truly would have truly been AWESOME AND EXTREME TO THE MAX!

Go kick rocks

[Mace]

Looking into passing rep around to give it to Pink because he doesn't want it.

[SpikedLemonade]

Pre-season is the time to gamble.

I respect that call.

[SpikedLemonade]

Given we will have no cheerleaders this year, any idea if the ladies found second careers as porn stars?

They were paid nothing to be cheerleaders.

At least they will be paid with facials.

[Novacane]

It was worth going for it. TJ being the #1 target was the stupid part

[ublinkwescore]

Manuel getting his passes batted again. Can we bring flutie in to teach Manuel to maneuver in the pocket to find the passing lanes?

[SpikedLemonade]

Has Spiller been traded?

Haven't seen him out there for a while.

[YardRat]

Wow. First stringers getting an entire half.

[Skooby]

Robey INt !!!

[Skooby]

Time to torch the 2nd stringers !!

[ublinkwescore]

Ej you better get us into the endzone right now.

[ublinkwescore]

Time to torch the 2nd stringers !!

We are struggling to do even that.

[BertSquirtgum]

Ej you better get us into the endzone right now.

Good one.

[Mace]

Ok, I give up on spreading rep for Pink. It's fatiguing me.

[SeatownBillsFan21]

if they cant score 6 here...

[BertSquirtgum]

**** pink

[Mace]

**** pink

I'd do the same for you until it fatigued me.

[BertSquirtgum]

I'd do the same for you until it fatigued me.

You ain't going to put a dent in it with a rep power of 5. You need to blow an admin to raise your rep power.

[ublinkwescore]

Thank god we have a defense.

[SpikedLemonade]

If we don't make it here, go for it on 4th down.

[SeatownBillsFan21]

this is awful

[BertSquirtgum]

god dammit, these ****ing guys.

[SpikedLemonade]

I like the call by Marrone.

[Mace]

You ain't going to put a dent in it with a rep power of 5. You need to blow an admin to raise your rep power.

I began to expect as much. Maybe around 2020.

[ublinkwescore]

What the hell do we have to do to get a god damn qb?

[SpikedLemonade]

Well Marrone kept the 1st string O in for a whole half.

Next week he will do the same.

[ublinkwescore]

Jeff Tuel needs to hurry up and finish being groomed.

[Novacane]

RZ offense is terrible

[Mace]

Marrone Marrone Marrone...

[YardRat]

Yes, EJ has accuracy issues. Yes, he locks on receivers at times. IMO his biggest issue is he has already determined where he's going with the ball before it's hiked, based on his pre-snap read.

[SpikedLemonade]

In the regular season, I would hope they would have called a QB run from inside the 5.

If EJ is too fragile for that, we are ****ed.

[ParanoidAndroid]

Questionable plays.

[SpikedLemonade]

Questionable plays.

Hacket doesn't belong in the NFL.

This Syracuse Suck connection smells like a **** stain.

Will Marrone fire Hacket after this year if our O is as good as last year?

If not, I would fire Marrone.

[Mace]

They aren't a real good team, I mean at worst they can look methodical and efficient not getting anywhere, at best they can let it fly and put up New England preseason numbers just to try it.

[Skooby]

Better than average chance the new owner changes the coaching staff, this isn't college boys.

[Turf]

Fred and CJ are not red zone material. We've proven that. We need to get Dixon and the other guy in there.

[SpikedLemonade]

Fred and CJ are not red zone material. We've proven that. We need to get Dixon and the other guy in there.

Bryce Brown is a big back and worth the red zone carries.

[Novacane]

Our biggest problem in the RZ is Hackett.

[Mace]

Ok, Doug.

[SpikedLemonade]

Our biggest problem in the RZ is Hackett.

Hiring Marrone was one thing but to allow him to bring a 28 year old college OC with no NFL experience was a big mistake.

[Mace]

Honestly, it's preseason, they can go insane for the sake of it every play this early. And they aren't, like they already made their bones. Bad sign imho.

[SpikedLemonade]

I want to slap Russ Brandon with my dick across his face every time I see him speak.

Is it just me?

[Mace]

Brandon talking about how big the new store was, was well, awkward. "We can make money honest we can, boss, new boss guy, please, maybe ?"

- - - Updated - - -


I want to slap Russ Brandon with my dick across his face every time I see him speak.

Sadly no, it's not just you.

[BertSquirtgum]

What an *******. Hold on to the ****ing ball.

[SpikedLemonade]

Sure he can run across the border but he can't hang onto his treasure.

[Mace]

Sure he can run across the border but he can't hang onto his treasure.

Good one.

[SpikedLemonade]

Good one.

You racist *****es.

[BertSquirtgum]

Better than average chance the new owner changes the coaching staff, this isn't college boys.

Hopefully. Marrone sucks. Anyone who chooses Hackett as their offensive coordinator sucks.

[SpikedLemonade]

Why is Brooks still on this team?

- - - Updated - - -

Cohen!!!!

What moves!!

What speed!!

[alohabillsfan]

Lmao, sure blame the coaching staff for. Crappy QB that some have profoundly supported. He (EJ) beat teams in college because fsu had superior talent, the year after EJ leaves they become national champions. Sorry, seen this coming...

[SpikedLemonade]

Why would he just not put his head down and run straight to the goal line.

Why look back?

[SpikedLemonade]

I Marrone trying to find a job for TJ Graham?

Why give him all this ST opps?

[Mace]

Why would he just not put his head down and run straight to the goal line.

Why look back?

Don't get crazy, maaaaaan.

[Skooby]

Why would he just not put his head down and run straight to the goal line.

Why look back?

Looking for blockers ?

[Mace]

Looking for blockers ?

Don't get crazy, maaaaaan.

[Ingtar33]

firming up my opinion this will be another 5 win campaign.

not sure i can take watching another season like that.

[SpikedLemonade]

Is anyone else who is watching this locally experiencing huge sound volume swings?

[DraftBoy]

With a new owner coming in every player and staff member is at risk of being released/fired. They better turn it on when the regular season starts.

[Mace]

With a new owner coming in every player and staff member is at risk of being released/fired. They better turn it on when the regular season starts.

I sort of don't really understand why they aren't now, with less risk and better practice value.

[Skooby]

Tuel time.

[Skooby]

Big Ben with a big shout out and love for Jimbo in a interview (I'm watching the Pit broadcast).

[Mace]

Is anyone else who is watching this locally experiencing huge sound volume swings?

Yeah, I am, it sort of seems appropriate and I am noticing it less and less the more I drink.

[SpikedLemonade]

Yeah, I am, it sort of seems appropriate and I am noticing it less and less the more I drink.

Yeah I understand.

It is my only my second rum and coke in my 40 oz mug.

[Skooby]

@JoeBuscaglia: #Bills fans breathe a sigh of relief MT @RapSheet: Despite a brief scare, #Bills WR Sammy Watkins and his ribs are fine. Nothing serious

[Mace]

@JoeBuscaglia: #Bills fans breathe a sigh of relief MT @RapSheet: Despite a brief scare, #Bills WR Sammy Watkins and his ribs are fine. Nothing serious

Well that's good, but I'm not what he'll be doing besides running around waving his arms.

[SpikedLemonade]

I'm good with cutting Tuel and picking up another QB cut by his team.

[SpikedLemonade]

Yeah, I am, it sort of seems appropriate and I am noticing it less and less the more I drink.

I have timed my drinking wrong.

I am still sober and everyone else has disappeared from this thread.

[BertSquirtgum]

The only good thing I've noticed so far from these preseason games is that the Bills have some pretty decent back ups now. On both sides of the ball.

[Skooby]

I have timed my drinking wrong.

I am still sober and everyone else has disappeared from this thread.

Hickup, what ???!??:drunks::drunks:

I can't hear you over the reggae music I have been playing since the game started.

[WagonCircler]

Cyrus Kouandjio is a piss poor reflection on Doug Whaley.

[ParanoidAndroid]

Kouandjio is worthless. Two straight sacks given up.

[ICRockets]

On the bright side, when he gets cut I won't feel bad about not googling the correct spelling of Kuandjio for this post.

[jamze132]

LMAO, what a joke.

[Mace]

I can't hear you over the reggae music I have been playing since the game started.

That's always my mistake, reggae makes everything ok, but I never start listening to it early enough.

[BertSquirtgum]

I thought Cyrus Kouandjio was eager to prove to the teams that passed on him that he was worthy of a 1st round pick. My god, he is the hottest stinkiest garbage out there.

[SpikedLemonade]

That's always my mistake, reggae makes everything ok, but I never start listening to it early enough.

Here is the secret --- listen to only reggae all of time.

[Novacane]

Cyrus Kouandjio is a piss poor reflection on Doug Whaley.


He's terrible. His draft position will probably save him but I'm not sure it should. I don't want him on the field getting EJ killed.

[SpikedLemonade]

He's terrible. His draft position will probably save him but I'm not sure it should. I don't want him on the field getting EJ killed.

Can he become a Guard?

I can't see his slow feet ever making him a LT or RT.

[Mace]

They need to develop some attitude. They are not good, may as well be mean about it.

[ParanoidAndroid]

I had a feeling he was bust material but after we picked him I had to hope. He just looks absolutely lost.... and against 3rd and 4th stringers. It's a good thing Henderson looks like he might be good although he has to learn to finish his blocks. I hope Cordy Glenn is completely healthy.

[Mace]

I don't even think Kouandjio is so bad. They just seem like an apathetic bunch of players going through the motions.

[ParanoidAndroid]

Can he become a Guard?

I can't see his slow feet ever making him a LT or RT.

I don't think he can play guard, either. His size and length was a factor in college but it's not enough in the NFL. He plays too high to anchor against interior D-linemen.

[Novacane]

I don't even think Kouandjio is so bad. They just seem like an apathetic bunch of players going through the motions.

He's consistently getting beat by guys that won't make their teams. His is that bad!

[ParanoidAndroid]

I don't even think Kouandjio is so bad. They just seem like an apathetic bunch of players going through the motions.

This is the second time I've seen him get beat on two straight plays. He's so bad. Maybe he is a project but those feet.....

[Mace]

I don't think he can play guard, either. His size and length was a factor in college but it's not enough in the NFL. He plays too high to anchor against interior D-linemen.

Yeah but Marrone is an o-line guy and can coach him up. Marrone was a crap o-lineman and is not helping anything for his vast experience.

[Mace]

Maybe it's just me, but the postgames are making me think Marrone is getting ragged fast.

[Mace]

Looks to me like he's getting twitchy and falling apart.

[Mace]

real bad alarming postgame.

[Skooby]

The practice squad is gaining a lineman.

The practice squad is gaining a lineman.

wasn't funny, but it was funny.

[Cleve]

Well, in 3 pre season games, the first string offense hasn't scored a single touchdown; and that even though they left Manuel in for the entire first half tonight

Manuel's passer rating tonight was a substandard 62. Contrast that to Big Ben's - a passer rating of 150.

The best spin an optimistic person could put on this; a player's performance in pre-season doesn't necessarily reflect how they'll play in the regular season.

So far, Manuel's 3 games this pre-season he's scored 39, 91 and 62 for passer rating.
