It's just the preseason.

I know we don't look that good tonight, but it is only the PRESEASON!

And it's only the first few minutes of the game.

So I reiterate....CALM DOWN

Yes northern but you still want to see your team look good. They don't look ready to play tonight.

Yeah we still look weak where we thought we'd improve during the offseason, but Spikes is not playing tonight either.

I would like to at least see the team show up. I know that it's preseason, and really could care less if we lost all of them. AS LONG AS we don't just let the enemy roll over us. I would like to see improvements... COMPETITION would really be nice at this point.

RElax? They look like crap. I don't care if they win or lose, but I want them to show me something. The D looks flat. And flat is an understatement.

I gotcha. But we shouldn't pretend that all is well.

Allright I've had it now.

No more mister :angry:ING NIce Guy!

The Bills look like crap tonight. So what if all of our stars are now on the sideline, or not dressed for the game. We SUCK out there tonight. Man I can't believe this crap. What does Gilbride AND Williams think they are doing out there.

:phew: that feels good.

How's this for perspective, I was just discussing the first half with my wife who was out shopping, and was going over how not so good the Buills looked thus far, and my son, little nbf said, "At least they have 10 points."

At least we shouldn't be overconfident at this point.

Be careful with using that word 'only'(as in "only the preseason"). Next thing you know, it's 'only' one game, or 'only' a couple of games in a 16 game season, or 'only' one bad play, etc. Keep saying that and it'll be 'only' another losing season. They don't need to shut these teams out and ring up 60 points in these games, but they also don't need to make so many mistakes either. The penalties and other boneheaded plays should be kept to a minimum, but our team is having a lot of problems with mistakes now (turnovers and penalties). While there's no reason to call the season over or fire the entire team, there's also no reason to bury our heads in the sand and say "all is well", because it isn't. Here is where we should look to the coaches to do whatever is needed to get these guys ready to play. These penalties and such are happening way too often; a team should NEVER have the ball for over 7 minutes and gain a grand total of TWO YARDS!!! Get it together, guys.

They have done all they can do. Turnovers and penalties are the trademark of a Gregg Williams coached team. This has been the story since he slithered into town....what makes you think anything is going to change between now and September 7th?

I really don't care if it's just the preseason. The Bills looked absolutely awful last night! The penalties have got to stop and the offensive line really should show up for one of these games. And once again, Gilbride wants to throw the ball all over the field just like last year. And still no pass rush to speak of. I am really starting to wonder what is going on with this team.
