IT was a beautiful night for football in Western, NY.
1. The pass rush was DELICIOUS! We were in their QBs' faces all night long. Looked like we worked in a few more blitzes than we had in the last couple of weeks.
2. The first team O looked much better. The INT ledsoe threw was a bad throw.
3. The refs STILL suck. Good to see them in midseason form.
4. Warner's TD throw to Faulk shouldn't have been a TD at all. Posey was right on top ofFaulk, but didn't turn his head and it wizzed right by his ear.
5. McGee looked good again on returns. Coleman and A Brown looked shaky all night muffing several kicks and dropping a couple of balls.
6. Sam Adams only played the first few plays, didn't impress, and limped off the field, never to be seen again.
7. I think Jonas Jennings was unconscience for a good 5 minutes as he didn't move a muscle when he got hurt. Ruben was slamming his helmet on the ground out of frustration for the preseason injury. Looks like he'll be ok, with just a concussion.
8. The crowd was freaking AWESOME! It was like a regular season game. Buffalo represented tonight.
9. Winfield was picked on a few more times tonight.
10. Looked like Bledsoe and Moulds were out of sinc on a couple of long plays as Drew threw the post and Eric cut inside a couple of times.
11. I think Bobby Shaw has a great shot at the #2 WR job. He looked GREAT tonight, while Reed didn't show much.
12. The new turf looks very, very nice!
13. If they play "raise a little hell" one more time, I'm personally going to strangle the DJ.
14. The wave must have gone around 20 times. Amazing. I don't usually like the wave, but it was forceful and the fans were LOUD as it came around...very cool!
15. Coy Wire and London Fletcher were freaking EVERYWHERE tonight. Wire played nearly the entire night as he was in there with the second and third stringers!
16. 1st and goal on the one...STUFFED on 3 straight plays! Great show by the backup D!
17. I thought it was cool of GW to put AVP back in the game and go for the win. Turns out he only did so because TB broke his finger.
18. Speaking of injuries, can I get a freaking injury update every once in awhile at a game??? Unless you had a radio, you had no idea how serious ANY of the injuries were until you got in your car to head home. That's one of the things I liked about Baltimore. They are very good at keeping you updated.
19. Bye bye Driver. You just sealed your fate tonight with the muffed kick.
20. It was great to see fewer penalties, but there should have been even fewer...stupid freaking refs.
21. I love having a kicker with a leg. Although he missed a lengthy FG, Lindell BLASTED the kickoffs...including 2 touchbacks.
22. Bills Buffalo needs to get out of my way. I'm trying to watch the freaking game. I swear I'm going to strange that stupid blue dork.
23. Olandis Gary looked much better tonight. More burst, ran with authority.
24. That said, I think Burns should be the backup. He was better.
25. After Jennings went down, I realized how nice it is to have a guy like Price who can come off the bench and not miss a beat. He's been a GREAT pickup.
26. Travis Brown absolutely BLOWS.
27. If something happens to Drew, I feel confident with AVP in there. Seems like every time he's touched the ball in the lreseason, he's been successful.
28. MArcus Jones looks like he's getting better every week. HE has great pressure while he was in there and got at least one sack. He got off the ball nicely, but I'd like to see what he can do against some first stringers.
29. Pat Williams was a monster as well tonight.
30. I don't know why we were playiong soft underneath on 3rd and 2 late in the game as the Rams were driving. :mad:
31. Too many turnovers, muffs, etc. We would have been very lucky to win a game like that in the regular season.
32. Prioleau had a great hit on the Rams' backup RB tonight.
33. I missed one play all night, and it was as I was moving seats to get a better vantage point. It just happened to be the 60-some yard TD by Bulger. So I'm just going to pretend it didn't happen.
34. This game should not have been as close as it was. The combination of turnovers and terrible calls by the refs were the culprits.
35. Rookies and underdogs who impressed me tonight: McGee, Coleman, Burns, and Kelsay held his own as well.
36. Still nothing by Jett or Johnson. I don't think they're even on the radar at this point.
37. It was cool to see Sammy Morris getting some praise from the fans, who chanted "Sammy Morris" whenever he was on the field.
38. Sam Gash got the loudest ovation in player introductions.
39. As I was driving home, I realized just how glad I am that I'm not a Jets fan. :snicker:
40. It was very apparent just how much more overall depth this team has than the past few years. There were a lot of good players out there.
41. It was also very apparent that the offense is not going to be a problem once they start to click.
42. Needless to say, the short passes combined with great O-line protection we saw tonight will go a long way towards helping the offense click.
43. I brought a Rams fan to the game, and preseason or not, it was fun rubbing his face in the Rams' loss ALL THE WAY HOME!
