Never thought I'd say that I miss Kouandjio... lol

I wish our QB's got even half the time to throw that Philly's QBs have had.

Bills depth is not good at all.

Good series by the defense there. Special teams penalties are out of control though.

Come on Tyrod! You gotta complete that one.

Ice run for a 1st down by TT.

Tate should likely be our return man this year.

Nope. If this new front office/coaching staff don't have everything fixedby now they never will and should be considered a failed regime, obviously.

Or Matt Cassel for that matter. It took Whaley dumping Cassel for EJ to get the #2 spot by default.

Do you only post about Tyrod? You do realize that there are 10 other players out on the field too, right?

All tied up. Nice kick Hauschka.

Offens estarting to get in sync now.

Nice pass TT. And anothe flag... Fuuu***

Haha. Are you serious?

Fire McDermott. Fire Beane. Fire everyone! cause we've obviously given fhem more than a fair amount of time to correct all the issue this 17 year playoff-less team has. If they don't have it solved by less than 1/4 of the way through the 2nd preseason game, they never will! lol Seriously people calm down. It is preseason game #2, with a vanilla game plan and totally new system on both sides of the ball. Patience is a virtue.

Man these penalties... McDermott's gonna blow a gasket.

Jerry!!

I like our run defense so far this season.

Tyrod hasn't looked very good so far tonight. But to be fair, our O line has looked even worse. I'm starting to worry that pass protection could be a major problem this season. It's only preseason though, and no Glenn. So I'm not going to overreact yet.

Good job to hold them to a FG. Terrible throw by Wentz.

Yeah they seem like they've been somewhat frequent so far this preseason.

Yup. The Bills players - Kelly, Thurman, Smith, Reed etc. - have all talked about that. How the "bickering Bills" actually kind of helped lead to change and really galvanize them as a team. Which they all site (that closeness and culture that developed) as a big reason why they went to 4 SB's in a row.

I really do believe that there is such a thing as losing cultures in sports, and that it takes more to ultimately win championships than just having some good/great players. Don't get me wrong, you need good/great players to win championships. But not every great players is able to win one, either. He has to have the right team and culture around him to do so. I have heard too many players and executives (in the NHL, NFL etc) talk about the importance of culture over the years to believe it's made up. From my own experience playing sports, the best teams I played for almost always had one thing in common - what I would call a "good team culture". It almost always started with very good coaching and the best player(s) on the team being bought in and helping push the coaches message. The first year I won a league championship with my team, we had a bunch of good players but we also had a great team culture. We all had a lot of belief in what the coaches were doing. There was a great attitude during games and practices. Even when we were down in games, we always believed that we could come back and win. There wasn't that pouting attitude or any giving up. Not every team that I've been on with good players had this. Having the right mix of personalities with the right attitudes is a significant thing IMO. I've also played on teams with some really talented players that ended up losing quite a bit and there was a noticeable difference in the coaching and/or player attitudes & belief system on those teams. When you have talented players who don't give a crap or start to pout when losing, or don't buy in to that team, it's usually not going to end well, IMO anyway. Like this one year we had a few really talented players (and what I considered to be a good team overall) but the best players were kind of jerks that formed their own little clique in the locker room and were always talking crap about the coach as well as some of their teammates and it really had a major impact on the entire team. We never won nearly as many games as we could/should have. As soon as we'd get down in the game the entire demeanor of the team changed.

Man she's a trip. I got a kick out of her after Grimes injury with that picture on her phone.

No problem man. It's something I was told when I first signed up here. Just passing it along.
