Re-cap of the Detroit game?

It was nice to see the starting O-Line perform together, and they were at least adequate. Starting D was run all over (again), but it's tough to tell how much the front four (especially the interior two) have been dogging it because of pre-season (due to last year's results).

McGahee looked serviceable (a #2 back), and Shaud Williams may have earned himself a spot on the roster. Drew had a good outing, Matthews looked great for someone who had been on the team 72 hours (certainly looked more prepared than BJ Hobert :wacko: ). Evans finally had a catch for positive yardage.

Still way too many penalties, but wasn't paying enough attention to see how much of them were "ticky-tack." Some really bad ones though (offsides by Pat Williams on short yardage, Smith caught pulling early (I think that's where many of Ruben's false starts came from), the "surprise offside" kick to start the 2nd half that was called back because a player was offside).

34-78-83 (I remember his because it was the latest) and others had decent breakdowns.

The Detroit game could be described as basically positive but for penalties and fumbles. Ran well. Passed well. Detroit 'O' pretty much stopped (good field position helped them out a bit). Couple of big returns and the onside kick called back due to penalties on ST, although the O and D both were guilty of lapses that hurt. Coverage units were not good (actually pretty piss poor). If the Bills can sort out the penalty problem should easily be competitive this year.
