Again, I'm going to have to disagree. The mental mistakes are the hardest to overcome. Most of these players coming to play the in the NFL are physical specimens. They are the best of the best as far as physically gifted athletes. In most cases, it's the mental part of the game(dropping balls, missing assignments, reading defenses/offenses) that contributes to then failing.

Now I'm calling BS. Hairston looked reallyl good? Would that be the play he completely missed the DE? I mean he saw the DE coming(at least i hope he did) and chose instead to double Rhineharts guy, which Rhinehart had blocke and didnt need help. Or the one where he got bull rushed into Thigpen? Oh and he looked absolutely fabulous on run blocking too didn't he? I mean he looked OK at best. And that wa against the 3s and 4s. To sit there and say he looked really good but saying Troup looked "horrible" is showing how completely biased your opinion is.

Yea, Dave Wannstedt(ILB Coach) knows nothing about personnel and who should be playing where. What is he thinking?!?!

Could be precautionary... never know...

looks like they're running some tests on it http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/6893258/marcell-dareus-buffalo-bills-hurts-ankle-waiting-test-results-report-says to determine the severity of the injury...

Sheps been practicing all week, just didn't play in the last preseason game because of lack of practices before... Check Chris Browns blog.

Ralph is cheap.

Honestly I get where you are coming from. It's easier to be negative and pressimistic because at the end of the day if the season goes bad you can sit there and say see I told you so. And that feels good, being right. But also if the team does well, then you feel good about that as well. It's a win-win situation.. It's funny how some fans talk about changing the losing culture around the team. I think in that same respect this overly negative and pissy attitude from some fans needs to be changed too. Oh well. Life goes on.

If Evans was on the team, we would have won this scrimmage...

And there you are, to of course, chime in... Cause yes lets relive everything in a freaking glorified SCRIMMAGE.

Wow, weird, exactly what I said last night about not scheming at all.. But of course the negative nancies are out in force.

Cause thats what I said... thanks again for playing. Its like even if the Bills game out and played like gang busters, you'd still be on this board saying. Well it was denver the 2nd worst team in the league last year, so it means nothing... Why do I even bother with some of the pessimist/chicken little's of the world?

I think it's pretty obvious what I'm saying. Its preseason and I am saying why worry. The Bills looked like garbage. Great, I saw that too. Its a scrimmage. Preseason. This is where you are suppose to mess up, get things wrong, try other things out. Does it mean its time to hit the panic button? My stats point to the fact that, you can go 0-4 or 4-0 and preseason can still mean absolutely nothing. So I wouldn't exactly call them random. Show me one preseason where it matters and I can show you one where it doesn't. They don't game plan, they don't watch film of the other team. And yes watching film can change A LOT. So whats the point of getting all worked up?

So let me ask this, in all seriousness.. A team goes 4-0 in preseason. They obviously look good, since they won all their scrimmages. Then they proceed to go 0-16 when it counts. Why is that? I mean if you witnessed all those games, they looked good, they won. What happened? I think the "nonsense" is to think that preseason games mean anything at all. The 90s bills went 0-4 in preseason, then went on to the super bowl. Are the 2011 Bills going to go to the super bowl? No. But to think you can judge how a season is going to turn out based on the 2nd game of the preseason. To me, thats nonsense. My thought, save all the frustration and emotions for when they count. If Sept. 11 roles around and its 4pm EST, then express how you feel.

It's funny I remember a certain 0-16 team going 4-0 in preseason. Let's not all go throwing ourselves in front of oncoming traffic because of one PRESEASON game.

I'm so upset!!! If Lee Evans was here we would have definitely won this game! Edit: also if Poz were still here, our defense would have stepped up so much more! .../sarcasm

Do you know what the offense in generals game plan was? Cause I know chan doesn't send me that information... All I am saying is offensive blocking schemes can get elaborate(zone blocking, etc). Maybe, just maybe Bills haven't installed these yet. Add to that we have a line that didn't get to gel in the offseason because of the lock out. It's the preseason. Let's wait and see how Sept. 11th goes first, then we can start screaming.

+1 This team isn't gonna go to the super bowl this year, but people cmon. Relax. It's freaking practice. For all we know John fox could have a full on game plan going tonight to win in front of his home crowd. Whereas the Bills could still be trying out and testing different schemes... Seeing what works and what doesn't. Breath. Save your frustration for Sept. 11.

+1 It's preseason. Practice. This is the time to mess up and male mistakes and figure things out. Who knows what kind of game plan the offensive line is running. Some fans take preseason WAY to serious. New Orleans looked like crap today, time to hit the panic button. Indianapolis has played like garbage, their season is over. Just breath. It's preseason, and we are rebuilding. Just sayin.

Ok... Saw the 3 passes. First was a 5 yard slant towards the middle of the field, wouldn't exactly call it going across the middle, but it was a good route, picked up the first down. Second was an out route. Lee went and got this ball, it was a really good catch. Managed to get both feet in. Third was a fade route, perfectly thrown, classic Lee. Now, granted the second 2 catches were against the KC second/third team defense. And lastly...... it is preseason. This could all mean a whole lot of nothing...

Sure was, with boarder portral and a bottle of anabolic steroids.

Replay of the Chiefs/Ravens is on right now. I'll fill everyone in and give my opinion after the first are done.

Yea, the Bucs are by no means a tool to judge by. Just was something that was really effective when I was watching.

Now, I know last night was a preseason game and all, but to me they appeared very much to have a pass rush. Their DE's made made the Bucs left tackle look like a turnstile. Freeman had absolutely no time to get comfortable in the pocket.

Seriously, this thread STILL isn't closed... It certainly needs to be
