The way it usually went was

Game 1: some starters play the first quarter,the $ stars sit or play a series or perhaps two.
Game 2: starters play most of the first half, but seldom QBs.
Game 3: starters play the first half and first series of Q3.
Game 4: starters play the first series at most.

I think we can discount the extra HOF BUF-NYG game.

BUF pretty much followed the plan for game #2 (I think we can discount the extra HOF BUF-NYG game).

I'm wondering if you think the staff will be fielding the 1st team more in the 2nd half, if Manuel and company can't produce a touchdown in the 1st half. I would do so...3 games so far, no tds. by the top squad.

What are your feelings about discounting the extra HOF BUF-NYG game?

I'm fine with the D playing only a couple series. First team offense needs to play though. At least a half.

Buffalo will score a TD on their first offensive position. Wait for it...

It's a game played in a spirit of conviviality. There were no injuries (that I recall), and it afforded both teams some extra evaluation time.

...if by Buffalo you mean the Bulls in their opener against Duquesne, I say bank on it.
