One thing to note!

We play the Titans on 12/14. We obviously didn't show much tonight on O or D. I think we played very vanilla on purpose. Of course, it didn't excuse all the penalties, but I think that may have factored into why their O was so successful against us.

I agree....we usually play pretty vanilla in the preseason but if it's an opponent we face in the regular season, we do even less to tip what we might do against them.

We will be neopolitan come 12/14

I know it's cliche, but I think it's especially true in this case.

You can play vanilla without taking stupid penalties.

Then maybe we should've started out with the Practice Squad and worked our way up to 1st string.

Correct- the key to preseason games is talent evaluation as well as the execution aspect and the apparent preparedness of the team. Penalties show that they're still learning.

Actually, I think the NFL should refrain from scheduling teams in the preseason that play against one another in the regular season.

Or not learning.

No smack intended here, but you guys sound just like what ya'll say the dolphins fans sound like when there's a bad game. Vanilla or not, the Bills did not execute very well tonight, I don't think the titians were trying to show anything either..They just basically reared back and fire the bomb. This may soften you guys up during the regular season preparing for them..Eddie George will be used a lot more in your next meeting.

Aside from a fumbled KO, and 32,000 penalty yards, it could have gone either way.

But we are not acting like the "season's over" like cryami fans

This is preseason though..not December when the Dolphins take their nosedive

No arguments here. Poor execution was a major concern everywhere with the Bills. And they did note that the Titans were using the preseason to showcase the big play ability of their WRs. And they already know what Eddie George can do...but they can't use him much in the preseason due to the injuries he's had the last few years...an ounce of prevention, yadda, yadda, yadda.
