Bills/Rams Game Thread

[shelby]

What are we looking for tonight other than a win?? I'd like to see more running and more sacks.

[honey]

What time does the game start?

[Throne Logic]

I thought this was a 6 PM start. Could be wrong.

[shelby]

Game starts at 7:00 guys.:up:

[mybills]

it starts at 7PM ET.

I'd like to see less penalties. :mad:

[TypicalBill]

less penalties, better pass protection....and i want an opening TD drive led by Drew.

[mybills]

hey, :evil:, do you have an audio link to the game? The bar doesn't have the game on. :(

[TypicalBill]

i think the only way is nfl.com...you have to pay though.


Tatonka says you can register then cancel the subscription after you finish cuz the first week is a free trial.


Ill try to find a free radio link ;)

[Throne Logic]

97 Rock doesn't seem to have an internet feed. Very dumb for this day and age. Of course, it could just be a difficult to see link, in which case, I still say it's very dumb.

[shelby]

Does a bear :angry: in the woods? i have to listen to it on the radio too.
:sadwalk:

[shelby]

[TypicalBill]

What a drive !!! Drew 6/6 for 55 yards and a TD :D.. life is good.. atleast they're looking awesome!

[BillsMan80]

6 for 6, 55 yards, 1 TD on Drew...any complaints from Wys?

[TypicalBill]

lindell kickoff for a touchback :D

[BillsMan80]

And followed by a Touchback.

[BillsMan80]

Stop it TB:D. You stole my thunder.

[TypicalBill]

:rofl: ill buy you a round of beer man.... this is awesome!!

[TypicalBill]

looks like Faulk is playing for the first time.. he should be fresh.... real test for the D

[L.A. Playa]

question doesnt the nfl a not for profit corporation make enough money ??? why do they have to charge for the bills radio feed ???? stupid and greedy here in los angeles i get no bills coverage :(

[clumping platelets]

:couch:

[LtBillsFan66]

Take away Drew's 6 completions and he looks like $#!t. :D

yeah, i know.. that wasn't the case last year..they used to give it to us for free.... also, the game was blacked out to the people that live in Buffalo too.

[shelby]

Coy aiding in the sack!!!!!!:D

[Typ0]

I can't even get this damn game on the radio...what a load of crap.

[Alluro]

Warner GOES DOWN ! good D !

[L.A. Playa]

a sack and a touchdown by first string should calm down all the buffalo panic attackers

[TypicalBill]

**** Yeah!!!!!!!!!!

[LtBillsFan66]

A SACK!

[imbondz]

1st penalty but it kills a huge play

[LtBillsFan66]

The game center thing is sloooooooooooooooooow.

[Typ0]

what an idiot I am...I had the wrong frequency on :D

[L.A. Playa]

at least josh reed blocks peerless would have been telling the db he deserved to be in the pro bowl

[LtBillsFan66]

DREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW!

[Alluro]

don't look now...but shaw could be replacing reed as the #2

[imbondz]

BOBBY SHAW 23 YARDS

NICE!!!!!!

[imbondz]

[LtBillsFan66]

Awsome! What a difference a week makes!!!

[Alluro]

Bledsoe is Smoking hot ! TD MOULDS

[shelby]

This just in: i likes Bobby Shaw:D

[bernielivsey_1]

14- 0:madhop:

[TypicalBill]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


TD!!!!


whats up with the team!!!


LOG and everyone in the stadium must be going crazy now!!! good for them!!

[Halbert]

I'm starting to get concerned about this team.

[LtBillsFan66]

This is what I wanted to see! Some execution!

[Throne Logic]

That's two VERY solid drives. Mixed up with runs, short passes, and flat passes. That's ball control, folks. Funny how they can still score without the "big play".

[losman2evans]

K-gun like efficiency in the last two drives- : )

[mybills]

14 pt lead...now THATS what I like to see! :D

[L.A. Playa]

give reed a break he will do great at least he isnt a pre maddonna superstar like peerless price i met peerless in denver the night before last years game and he was very arrogant and rude and all i said was hi and good luck tommorrow im glad hes gone

[LtBillsFan66]

Originally posted by Halbert

If they played this week like they did last week, I would be concerned. It's a moot point now.

[imbondz]

Bledsoe 11-12

over 100 yards


SACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


uh-oh, penalty

no sack

[losman2evans]

Edwards- again just like last game- face mask!!!!

damn

[imbondz]

SWEEEEEET

[BillsMan80]

Is Wys in the house? LOL

[TypicalBill]

This is all i wanted to see ..... i think we should think about resting them before the end of the half.. i dont want no injuries, we now we can execute and that the efficiency is there.


:jump:

[LtBillsFan66]

Penalty or not, it's good that they are getting to the QB.

[bernielivsey_1]

Face mask that sucks. 2 sacks though

[LtBillsFan66]

I agree.

[imbondz]

A Winfield stops Faulk!!

for a loss.


that's what I wanted to see. Sharp tackling.

[clumping platelets]

SUPER BOWL!!

[imbondz]

i'd like the starters to play for at least half of the 2nd quarter

Bledsoe HOF! :D

[losman2evans]

why bring henry back in a preseason game?

[L.A. Playa]

at least we stopped the rams once the buccaneers first team defense couldnt do that

[TypicalBill]

Faulk is unstoppable

[casdhf]

Domination.

[TypicalBill]

Love the offense :D ... love the execution ... now i want something from the special team.... i wont worry about the D cuz we're not using the zone-Blitz and the packages we'll use in the season.

Im happy!

good , no more Henry .. lets keep him rested :D

[LtBillsFan66]

The ***** nfl thing hasn't updated in about 5 minutes! WTF!

[losman2evans]

Good - let Henry rest- Van Miller said he was coming back into the game-

Let Henry heal

[shelby]

i like what i'm hearing so far. The D could be a bit more aggressive, but i am happy. Travis is done for the nite:phew:

WHERE'S WYS?!?!?!

[casdhf]

Who cares? :D

[TypicalBill]

welcome back Gash :up:

[losman2evans]

[clumping platelets]

where have you been? :shakeno:

[losman2evans]

need to get nfl.com- for free trial and then cancel it so you can hear it relatively live

[bernielivsey_1]

Damn it Drew.

[L.A. Playa]

Wish we had a back like faulk who doesnt fumble
oh yeah Mcgahee will be ready next year

[TypicalBill]

YES THE DEFENSE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A.winfield sack!!!

[shelby]

Winfield reedeming himself:D :up:

[L.A. Playa]

the intern who updates the game had to take a dump thats why it was stalled

[losman2evans]

aggressive defense!!

Lebeau- 3 sacks and Winfield making sacks : )

[bernielivsey_1]

Van sounds great. Signed up this afternoon.

[imbondz]

Originally posted by bernielivsey_1

so did I. much better. Plan on cancelling after the game.

[TypicalBill]

here comes Gilbride :( .. 3rd and 2 .. long throw :shakeno:

[Alluro]

why is bledsoe in the shotgun and PASSING on 3rd and 2?

[LtBillsFan66]

Originally posted by pmacla

lol

[losman2evans]

damn- 3 and out

Not much of a punt by Moorman- we needed to keep that good special teams going- Can't let St Louis start on the forty.

[losman2evans]

49 yard punt- not bad at all-oops

[TypicalBill]

why would you use shotgun on 3rd and 2??? ... you're supposed to confuse the defense in that situation, not make them know you'll throw.

[losman2evans]

Come on defense

One more stop before the end of the half!!!!

[ejsmith]

Just to let you guys know, Real makes it really hard to cancel your subscription. I couldn't log into their site for a while and I tried calling but it was after hours (M-F 9-5) then I called again during work and was on hold for 15 minutes and gave up.

I'm kind of glad at the moment because I get to listen to tonight's game, but I've got to get this thing canceled soon.

[colin]

pass on 3 and 2 is a bit gay, but it is preseason and I HOPE they are just getting their pass on early

No need to show any tendencies now, so it might be a clever ploy


I think it is clean that our team is not messed up and useless, like the brainless posters think, and that preseason DOES NOT COUNT

[losman2evans]

A pass rush!!!!!

yeah

[LtBillsFan66]

Sacks! Pressure on the QB! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[imbondz]

I'll get you the directions on how to do it.

[TypicalBill]

Schobel is HOT today!!! he's in the QB's face all the time

[bernielivsey_1]

Were getting real close on every play.

[BillsMan80]

We showed a ton of life today. Very pleased with the effort.

[TypicalBill]

Winfield is trying to make up for the TD last week :D


7 solo tackles and a sack with solid coverage

[Throne Logic]

Shotgun on 3rd and 2 has me REALLY not happy. This is the kind of crap that cause the problems last year.

[imbondz]

Winfield is playing great

[TypicalBill]

What the **** Faulk is a monster!

[imbondz]

ouch. Touchdown.

[shelby]

:angry:

why the :angry: did they take Schobel out????

[BillsMan80]

TD, but I consider this a sucessful game. We showed a ton of life.

[Throne Logic]

Defense is getting munched on, regardless of the pressure on the QB.

[imbondz]

Originally posted by Throne Logic

lol

[losman2evans]

This just in- Faulk is good

[Alluro]

will drew get to run the 2 minute drill?

[shelby]

At least we are pressuring Warner.....3 sacks....and i am seeing improvement in the penalties....so i am happy.
:beers:

[imbondz]

Originally posted by bledsoe2moulds

so is Warner

[losman2evans]

Jonas hurt?

[TypicalBill]

Jennings hurt :( .... no!!! hope its not serious

[losman2evans]

Please- noooooooooooooo

[shelby]

:angry:...Jonas Jennings:wail:

[Throne Logic]

I hope the D's issues are related to the extremely vanilla scheme. However, reading posts on NFL.com (although they are quite detailed) doesn't let me know what the defense is doing beyond tackling (or not). Anyone have a better idea of what the D is specifically doing (schemes, blitzes, etc)? I assume they aren't doing much.

[imbondz]

Nedney of the Titans just booted it 72 yards to the Cincy -2???

:jawdrop:

[colin]

throne for crying out loud, they are playing the rams. the rams can move the ball a touch

[TypicalBill]

Jennings.. damn, not our starting LT

[losman2evans]

putting weight on his leg- a knock on his head-

phew- i hope that's it

scary

[LtBillsFan66]

Oh $#!t. Jonas went down!

[LtBillsFan66]

Bell rung?

[shelby]

:rofl: Brad Johnson is throwing some major picks tonight

[BillsMan80]

Gilbride is killing me.

[imbondz]

Defense has to shut down the Rams before halftime.

[TypicalBill]

wheres the ST coverage??

[imbondz]

special teams :xplode:

[BillsMan80]

4 Sacks this half. Can you say Pass Rush?

[shelby]

4 sacks!!!!!
:10:

[LtBillsFan66]

SACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[imbondz]

Schobel ALL OVER WARNER!!!

redeeming himself for last week.

SACK!!!!

[colin]

dude, again this is just preseason

they don't care if they win or lose

also, if our d can put on pressure, and we run more, we will have a much better +/- which will get us a lot more chances at scores.

[TypicalBill]

Schobel is killing them.



2 sacks and pressure in ever snap!

[bernielivsey_1]

SACKS woo hoo

[imbondz]

PSYCHE!!!


Rams punting!

[losman2evans]

Go Schoebel!!

[cordog]

Any word on Jennings injury? It said he was taken off on a cart

[LtBillsFan66]

Is Moulds the only one out there?

[imbondz]

6 yard pickup. Avoids the blitz

[TypicalBill]

thats what, 3 penalties all half?? improvement over last week!

[cordog]

damn mike williams and his freakin false starts

[TypicalBill]

Josh Reed!!! HEll YEah!!!

[cordog]

HERES JOSH!!!

[LtBillsFan66]

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED! :D

[imbondz]

SWEET!!! 29 YARD PICKUP

JOSH REED!!

:02 seconds left

[imbondz]

c'mon LINDELL!!!!!!!

[LtBillsFan66]

Dang! Wide left. :(

[colin]

:< no fg :<

[imbondz]

ugh.

[shelby]

JOSH REED!!!!:D Too bad Lindell missed.

[cordog]

damn, missed fg

[BillsMan80]

All in all, good first half.

[mybills]

By the :angry: time I get the audio working on this antiquated piece of :angry: P :puke: C, the :angry: game will be over!!!! :mad:

I have real one player and the nfl pass, and I can't get sound other than a couple of "Rah" s!

[cordog]

has anyone heard anything on Jonas's injury?

[imbondz]

that's alright. Great first half. LOT'S TO TALK ABOUT. :snicker:

[LtBillsFan66]

It's what I wanted to see. We can move the ball and rush the passer. :up:

[colin]

that first half sucked ass

injuries count, not preseason play

[TypicalBill]

i loved the first half... they showed me everything i wanted to see... its just the Jonas thing.. hope its not major.

[losman2evans]

Jennings got his bell rung- no orthopedic damage

[cordog]

I just got home from a wedding, so everything looks good huh?

Moulds 100 yards in the first half :D

Originally posted by TypicalBill

or heard :D

[losman2evans]

193 yards passing in the first half
and 6 yards/carry rushing
no sacks against Bledsoe

besides the one interception, we looked solid on offense

[The Spaz]

He walked off on his own no limping etc. Also the main Bills doctor was not out there only the assistant, They say he mot likely got his bell rung.

you can cancel it online.. it was very easy.

[L.A. Playa]

giants had a 21 play 95 yard touchdown drive on the jets

[Throne Logic]

Look, I realize you're all excited about the first half, but I have a major gripe. I know it's preseason and all, but what the hell happened to the "we're going to run the ball" theory?

24 pass attempts to 8 runs. And don't give me that crap about the pass working better, 'cuz the run average is 6 yds/carry.

I know it's preseason. I do. I still think that Gilbride is NOT capable of calling a balanced attack for any kind of duration. Once they got beyond the first drive, it was pass, pass, pass, pass. I don't in Gilbride's offense philosophy, sorry.

[losman2evans]

Thet said he was being looked at by the internist rather than an orthopedic doctor and "Dr. Van Miller" said it looks like all his parts were working .

[imbondz]

the Titans make me wanna :puke:

[The Spaz]

Well Travis did have a run of 20 yards or so and it was called back on a hold.

[imbondz]

I agree. We have to run more. It's not an option if we want to be around at the end of the season.

[Tatonka]

they said on the radio, henry hurt his foot? i just got in.. and turned on the game right before the game.. what happened? and is anyone else hurt? i see we are running VERY little.

[L.A. Playa]

giants 3 play 96 yard drive and 88 yard td pass on jets 14-0

[TypicalBill]

Originally posted by Tatonka

not serious, twisted his foot.

[The Spaz]

I beleive the Rams have 3 hurt players, with one being serious. Kim Herring Broke his right forearm on the opening kickoff. On Henry they said he twisted his foot but he is walking on it so doesn't seem to be too serious.

[losman2evans]

Sometimes you call a play based upon what the defense gives you. Bledsoe audibled a few times, Henry's run was called back. Last 3-4 throws were with less than one minute to play in the half. I was happy with the play calling and the execution (barring the interception).

[Tatonka]

lindell is kicking the ball deep as ****.

[cordog]

DENNEY FUMBLE RECOVERY!!!!

[Tatonka]

denny almost forced a fumble.. tackle behcind the line.

[TypicalBill]

here we go.. 2nd half

[Tatonka]

so it looks like takeo spikes has been a NON factor huh?

[TypicalBill]

3 and out .. Spikes with the stop...

[cordog]

oops never mind, read the sports thingy wrong

[imbondz]

3 and out

Psyche!

[losman2evans]

Ok Takeo can rest for the remainder of the night. No sense on risking injury

[TypicalBill]

OH YEAH COLEMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 30 yard punt return!!

[Tatonka]

COLEMAN! nice punt return.. he is making this team for sure.. 26 yard return

[cordog]

Did denney start at DE?

[TypicalBill]

lost fumble.. coleman fumbled at the end :rolleyes:

[Tatonka]

he fumbled! ****..

[losman2evans]

fumble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

arghhhhh

[The Spaz]

Yeah Denney started.

[imbondz]

:puke: fumble

[cordog]

damn coleman with a good return, then fumbles

[L.A. Playa]

id like to see brown and that speed make that team over coleman

[shelby]

:angry:ing fumble!!!!

[losman2evans]

Nice special teams blocking this year though- much improved over last year

[cordog]

did coleman fumble last week also?

great coverage thomas.

[losman2evans]

Kevin Thomas slipped and fell-Arghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The Spaz]

Thomas fell. Damn it.

[cordog]

and they gave up a TD

[shelby]

21 unanswered points.:shakeno:

[Tatonka]

i would really like to see the bills come out and pound the **** out of the ball.

[The Spaz]

In preseason yes!:)

[L.A. Playa]

who cares its preseason

[TypicalBill]

Tony Driver fumbled :rolleyes:



he's a goner.

[Tatonka]

driver fumbles.

[L.A. Playa]

and we have the great travis brown to lead a come from behind victory lol

[L.A. Playa]

hasnt driver been cut yet

[TypicalBill]

Why the **** is Bledsoe still in there... makes no frikin' sense!!

[cordog]

why is bledsoe and moulds still in?

[L.A. Playa]

looks like even a double team can contain moulds

[losman2evans]

Time to get Moulds and Bledsoe out of the game after this series

[The Spaz]

Well the 1st unit didn't do ***** the 2 previous games so they want this good thing that they have now to keep going.

[cordog]

Reed with another catch

[ublinkwescore]

Who cares, starting out with a 14-0 lead on the rams, and getting in Warner's face - this is the best this team has looked in a long time. I seriously think that we weren't trying against the Titans last week.

[cordog]

Never thought id wanna see Travis Brown come into a game

[Tatonka]

shaw...

bledsoe likes his receivers..

and notice that his IS throwing the ball to the TE .. campbell has 4 catches..

[Typ0]

The starters are in because they are rehearsing to play a real game. They want to get used to playing after halftime.

[Tatonka]

that was likely the last we will see the bills starters till opening day.
