Good stuff on Rousseau. As for Obada’s hit, I still don’t think it was dirty. Just watched it again; he didn’t go for the knees and really just tried to wrap the QB’s leg up at the ankle. It was a bad call in my opinion. Side note: does anyone know if it is O-BAH-da or O-ba-DAH?

If you’d like to give Ed a 1/2 sack be my guest. I was just reflecting on why the official stats credit the sack to Groot. No matter who is credited the line did a great job on that play.

For a Big Turk you sure laid a Big Turd with this thread.

Goff felt Groot’s hand and then turtled. Ed arrived a fraction of a second later.

All things considered that was a pretty damned successful preseason game. We sat 15 starters, saw some really good stuff out of our 1st round draft pick, and proved that this team has some decent depth (outside of CB). Not going to complain.

Guilty as charged! Although a Lion did make that awful helmet-to-helmet hit on one of our punt returns.

Good point above about keeping Hart so there’s someone to play OT the next two weeks. Just make sure Trubisky, Webb, and Fromm know to roll every play away from his side.

I don’t know…he didn’t go at Boyle’s knees at all; it looked to me like an effort to tackle him at his ankles, which happens all the time. I’ll have to watch it again. In any event, it’s nice to be debating who is the better 3rd or 4th string QB for the Bills.

Yeah, maybe. I think he still winds up on the PS.

I just finished watching the game and my immediate post-game reaction was: cut Hart. He was brutal. So happy to see that Rousseau appears to be ready for prime time. Roughing call on Obada was complete b.s. I “get” the call on Boogie but it was borderline also. I thought Boogie had his struggles but also flashed a few times. Agree with your take on CB depth. I’ll add Stevenson to the “good night” column. Showed excellent hands and displayed some of that speed. I’ll give him a pass for taking that last kickoff out of the end zone as he was just trying to make a play. I was less enthusiastic about Webb’s play. I guess it was gameplanning but absolutely nothing down the field, and a couple of those throwaways were questionable. Really bad play on the intentional grounding; I don’t expect that from a guy everyone says is so smart. He threw the pass to Sweeney on his inside shoulder or that could have been an even bigger play. I think Fromm had a decent outing. No chance on those sacks. Put the ball in good position on most of his throws (missed Duke on the deep one) and he was the only Bills QB to go downfield with the ball. Really liked the emphasis on the running game and agree that Motor looked great. It was only one play but an excellent CATCH in a tight window by Knox.

Why the hell is Josh in uniform?

Get the mosquito pest control service next year. So worth it!

I’m busy calling bars right now asking who has the C band on their big dish.

Stay away from sharp objects.

But what about a small pond? A deep puddle?

23-0, Baby!!!! 🦬🏈🦬🏈🦬

I love Fitzy but man, that W-L record is brutal. He's also about the only guy I'm not mad at for having seven kids because at least he can afford them.

Not in my own.

I don't know about insane, but he definitely takes the word "intense" to a whole new level. He's an old school meathead who seems to think the key to winning is simply beating the crap out of the other guy. I'm all for being physical -- and I hope the Bills' D becomes more physical this year -- but to have a HC who rants and raves like a Neanderthal doesn't inspire much confidence. I really wonder what the team meetings are like. Maybe he's just fooling us all and is much more composed behind the scenes. I doubt it, but who knows... I'd take even odds that the Lions will knock a QB out of a game this year with a "questionable" hit.

*for now* By the way, he was interviewed at Ravens camp yesterday and maybe it's just me but he sounded like an idiot. Agree with the latter. Bolt starts slow because he is so tall. Takes him a good 30-40 yards to build up that speed.

There's a thread on this. A lot of us have gotten the email this year for free ST Max as well.

That's what you take from this discussion?

It was a very simple statement about QB rating and win projections. The Bills won 6 games Josh’s rookie year, so what’s your point?

There really should be a separate forum of Sunday Ticket archives…I’m half-kidding but it would be entertaining. I’ve finally begun the process of eliminating DTV…deactivated three receivers this week and reduced my package down to the lowest tier. I have ST Max for free so I’ll keep it active on my two “main” TVs for the season. After W18 I’ll cancel DTV for good. If by next season there are no other ST options then I’ll pick it back up, at which point they’ll probably give me ST for free again.

If all the Pats*** can manage is QB play with a rating of around 78 for the season (Mac was 78.2, Cam 78.9), I think 7 wins is an optimistic projection.
