    So the thing that really kills me??

     

    Without a single warmup throw, backup quarterback Mitchell Trubisky entered the game cold on a third-and-7 opportunity and served up a cold-blooded, pinpoint pass to receiver Joshua Palmer for a 32-yard gain — and with Jets top cornerback Sauce Gardner in coverage, no less.

     

    STONE COLD KILLAH!!! Looks like the Bllls staff made the right choice!

    What’s sort of nuts is I think he was with the organization in some capacity when we did the Toronto series.  Doesn’t he remember how terrible that was? 

    Yes he was in the organization.  He is spouting the company line to see what the reaction is.  If I had a PSL I would DEFINITELY call One Bills Drive and voice my displeasure.  THATS the way to be heard....not on an online forum that he doesn't give 2 ***** about - CALL make your voice be heard.

    THE ROCKPILE REVIEW – I Never Leave Early

    in The Stadium Wall

    I never leave games early. Never. (Well, I left Chiefs-Bills at Arrowhead at halftime during the weather delay a few years ago, but that was only because my wimp friend insisted on it.)

     

    I was disappointed that Bills fans started pouring out of the stadium in the fourth quarter after the Bills had fallen behind by the Ravens 40-25 on Sunday night, but different people have different points of view, and everyone’s entitled to theirs. The people who sit beside me at Highmark Stadium leave early most games. I don’t get it, but it makes sense to them, so okay.

     

    I always want to see what’s going to happen. I want to see the kneeldowns, if that’s what’s coming. I want to see the desperation passes, the onside kicks. I want to see the players meeting on the field after the game. I attend for the entire experience, whatever it is, so I don’t leave early. I don’t leave movies early, no matter how bad, and I don’t leave the theater early, either.

     

    Part of me says I owe it to the players to stay. They work incredibly hard to compete in these games, and they deserve an audience. (I know, they get paid to do it, whether I’m there or not. Still, when someone puts on a show for me, I’m going to watch it.)

     

    Did I think about leaving the Ravens game?  No, not really, but I can say this: If I weren’t the kind of person who stays to the end, no matter how miserable the performance is, I would have been out the door after the magnificent Derrick Henry did his magic against the Bills again. My impression of the game to that point was that the Bills were fortunate to be only 15 points behind. Up to that, point the game felt like the score should have been 60-25. It seemed the Ravens were dominating.

     

    In truth, statistically, the game was pretty even. It was two special quarterbacks running two good offenses, with two pretty good defenses trying to figure out how to survive. The Ravens had had the better of it, throwing haymaker after haymaker. It was exciting, explosive football. Still, it felt like the Bills were being smoked, and although the Bills might score 15 in the last 10 minutes, it didn’t seem likely that the Ravens were done scoring.

     

    I knew, of course, that the Bills had a chance. Miracles happen all the time in the NFL. But to tell the truth, sometime in the third quarter I thought it was over. Every time I thought about the Bills mounting a comeback, I thought, “No, it’s over.” Why? Because the Bills just didn’t look very good. They couldn’t convert a two-point conversion. They couldn’t execute a quarterback sneak. They were close only because they got a gift touchdown on a desperation pass that was deflected and then caught by Keon Coleman, diving in the end zone. The Bills were close despite themselves.

     

    I tried to talk myself into having some hope. I reminded myself that McDermott stocks his team with players who never quit. I reminded myself that he trains his players to win the second half, and especially to win the fourth quarter. I remined myself that we had 17. Nothing worked. I thought it was over.

     

    When did I think they might actually win? Briefly after the touchdown got them to 40-38, but that hope disappeared almost immediately when they didn’t get the two point conversion to tie the game. I thought the chances the Ravens would go three and out were pretty slim. They’d punted only twice in the game.

     

    When did I think the Bills might actually win? When the Ravens were 3rd and 9 and there was more than a minute and a half left on the clock. That was literally the first time the possibility of winning came into my head and stayed there. I’d spent the previous hour thinking the game was over.

     

    Then Benford made the tackle on Hopkins, the Ravens’ punt bounced out of bounds, and I thought, “The Bills are going to win! THE BILLS ARE GOING TO WIN!”

     

    The final drive was magnificent. Josh Allen was masterful. As the commentators always say, the first first down is critical. Josh took an easy six yards over the middle to open the series, and the Bills were rolling. Easy sideline throw to Coleman for the first down. A gorgeous throw to Palmer, perfect, and then back to Coleman, and the Bills were ready to kick the game-winner.

     

    What was best moment in the game? The moments after it ended. People clapped and cheered and screamed, and they didn’t stop. The noise just kept coming and coming for three or four or five minutes, maybe ten minutes. Why did that happen? Because for the previous hour, we’d all been sitting there believing it was over, believing there was no hope. People weren’t even standing or singing along with the Shout song after scores. And then, after all of the agony, it was bang, bang, bang, field goal, game over. We couldn’t stop cheering.

     

    Who gets game balls? Prater, of course, and Allen, of course, and Oliver, of course. Big Ed made us believe when he bear-hugged Henry for a big tackle-for-loss. And he showed the way to the win when he stripped Henry for the only takeaway in the game that mattered. (Josh’s INT on the conversion attempt wasn’t the kind of takeaway that can change a game.)

     

    And a game ball for McDermott. Remember when fans used to complain about McDermott’s game management? Not Sunday night. He knew when to go for two and when to go for one. He managed the timeouts perfectly. His team used every second on the clock to get three points to end the first half, and they used every second on the clock to kick the game winner and deny the Ravens any chance of coming back. His philosophy of stopping the pass even if it means the Bills run defense is gashed proved, again, to be a winning strategy. And his never-say-die attitude carried the Bills to the win.

     

    1-0.

     

    GO BILLS!!!

     

    The Rockpile Review is written to share the passion we have for the Buffalo Bills. That passion was born in the Rockpile; its parents were everyday people of western New York who translated their dedication to a full day’s hard work and simple pleasures into love for a pro football team.

     

    Shaw - every SINGLE time I read on of your recaps/post/comments I mentally hear this gravely John Forsythe type voice that carries me along each word.  You have an excellent talent at the prose you write and the emotion you put into it.

     

    Well done sir!  I watched at home in So Flo, right up to the last second and the ensuing chaos after wards.....I then rewond it to 5 minutes left and rewatched the whole thing all over again!

     

    PS.  I had seasons for 22 years.....I watched the comeback game altho I will admit I left at halftime to cook food in the lot waiting for our one diehard in our group to leave the game.  My best friend and co-worker came running through the lot, 8 month 26 day pregnant wife in tow, saw me and SCREAMED at me to get back in the game!!!!  My two buddies and I had already decided that we would go back in when the gates opened at the start of the 4th....we tried to tell my bestie that, but he was adamant that he go in right that second.  We cleaned up, listened to another score and then caught up with my buddy and his wife and waited for the gates to open.....they slid open a few minutes early and we sheepishly walked up to our seats receiving MUCH deserved grief from our fellow fans!!!

     

    GO BILLS!!!

    I am not. Instead, going to try to do something that I’ve never done. I’m going to watch the Jets game from the pool. It’s supposed to be 78 and I have the heater on (actually jumped in yesterday). The pool isn’t closing until 9/23 so figured that I’d take advantage of this last week of summer. Go Bills!!

    Enjoy your pool sir!  Here in SUNNY So Flo I watch any games I can in the pool!

     

    GO BILLS!

    @GunnerBill Thanks, as always, for the thoughtful insights! I might add Zach Davidson's surprise punting ability to his "Good" write-up. I, for one, did not have that on my Bills bingo for tonight's game. That first punt was titanic!

     

    He had a twofer night....The crazy punt and the slapstick comedy of chasing Sanders outa the game.  Only sad thing on the punt was he outkicked his gunners, other than that it was pretty sweet for a TE!

    Bring back Douglas and Cooper?

    I agree with @Steptide and @oldmanfan - Shavers is the MUCH better younger option.  My jury is still out on White.  But it WAS only 1 preseason game.....I am not reaching for the red nuclear overreact power button.  The wild over snap at the end lead to the loss more so than anything else.  It IS preseason for cryin out loud.....they are playing combinations of personnel that god forbid if it comes to that in the reg season I would turn the tv off!!!

    Sherfieild and Harty both previously had a single flash in the pan season, that was still lower tier even for a flash in the pan. Palmer and Moore have already shown they could be more and have dwarfed the production of the other two you mentioned. I see Moore as being another John Brown type, but a better route runner, with JA17 throwing him the ball. Palmer is more of a Tyler Boyd type, who had some really solid years in Cincy. We don't need a Diggs or some other top end WR to have a great offense with JA17. We just need the sum of those parts to be greater than they were last year. I think we have that. 

    The wild part???  The O was pretty darn good last year with the WR room they had then.  I am thinking exponentially better if these guys AND the OLine stay reasonably healthy.  It could be scary!
