Aside from the obvious, there are lots of fun positional battles to watch at the back end of the roster. Here are a few that I’m looking out for: 

 

DE4...Love/Yarbrough/Acho/Johnson

 

CB5...Lewis/Munnerlyn/Pitts

 

WR6/7...Phillips/McCloud/McKenzie

 

RB4....Perry/Murphy/Yeldon/Wade

 

LB6...VoJo/Lacy

Buffalo Bills vs. Carolina Panthers: broadcast info, announcers, streaming, radio, television

 

 

The Buffalo Bills (1-0) and Carolina Panthers (1-0) have spent much of this week engaged in joint practice sessions in South Carolina, and the two teams will cap off the week with a Week 2 preseason game between Sean McDermott’s former team and his current Bills squad.

 

So far, there haven’t been any rumors of fighting during the joint practice sessions, but you can bet both teams are looking forward to actually playing in a competitive game when the two square off at 7 p.m. Friday at Bank of America Stadium.

Buffalo earned a 24-16 win over the Indianapolis Colts in its preseason opener, while the Panthers knocked off the Chicago Bears 23-13 in their preseason opener.

 

Josh Allen played in two series in Buffalo’s opener, completing 6-of-11 passes while showing improvement in his ability to read the field for the open receiver. Rookie running back Devin Singletary made an instant impact in his Bills debut, accounting for 48 all-purpose yards while showing his ability to create something out of nothing.

 

The first-team defense clamped down and held the Colts to 1-of-11 on first-downs in the opening half, 16 rushing yards on ten attempts, and only 29 yards of offense and one first down on six drives until the final two minutes of the opening half.

 

TV Schedule

Date: Friday, August 16, 2019

Time: 7 p.m. Eastern

Channel: Buffalo, NY: WKBW 7; Rochester, NY: WROC 8; Syracuse, NY: WSYR 9; Binghamton, NY: WBGH 34; Utica, NY: WPNY 11; Elmira, NY: WETM 18; Watertown, NY: WWTI 50; Erie, PA: WJET 24; Albany, NY: WXXA 23 and around Charlotte, Raleigh, and parts of Georgia.

So to all you people that sign up for game pass for the trial to watch the games, will it work if I am out of the Bills/panthers TV market?  I've heard mixed results on here for the first preseason game.

I think that may actually be a CB6 battle. White, Wallace, T. Johnson, K. Johnson, and now Neal appears to be a full time CB. Maybe they don't keep 6, but it's definitely one of the most heated battles right now. 

 

Also, I feel the RB4 battle is heavily in Perry's favor right now. I think he becomes a core ST player this year, especially if they decide to not keep Pitts. 

 

And don't count out M. Alexander (EDIT: for LB6/core ST).

NFL Game Pass is available in the market and location in which it is purchased.

Yes, it actually only works if you are out of market.  In market, it blacks you out.

Thanks. I thought that was the case but feel like someone said they couldn't watch the game last week even though they were out of market. 

 

It's a trial either way so I'll give it a shot later.

Hope it's better tonight than last game. Out in Cincinnati and the whole game was choppy/freezing - and I have strong Internet - was on their end. It was hugely disappointing and annoying.

1) No injuries

 

2) Would love to see Morse play but i guess he is still in protocol

 

3) For fun, wan to see more of Wade, we all know what Shady/Gore can do already.  Heck pre season game 4 let Wade play half the game and return punts.  He has got to learn to hold the ball better, he is a tomahawk chop away from a fumble.

 

4) Any improvement, wouldn't be difficult for Tyree Jackson

 

5) Key on Daryl Johnson, seems to be a lot of vie that he could turn into a great pass rushed if he learns some technique and adds 30 pounds.

 

6) Want to see more of Vosean Jospeh and Jaquan Johnson, both these guys can hit.

I will be at My daughters Wedding Rehearsal but will have it on DVR. 

 

Dude, there’s not that much to rehearse. Walk her down the aisle nice and slow and then take your spot. Boom, you’re done. Now you can catch the game live.

Bills-Panthers preseason 2019: LeSean McCoy, 9 other players to watch on Friday

 

After two joint practices, the Buffalo Bills and Carolina Panthers will face-off in Week 2 of the preseason. Last week, Buffalo’s starters played about one quarter of action, but it is unknown how long the first-unit will play on Friday night.

 

Who should Bills fans keep an eye on? Here are 10 players to watch.

 

LeSean McCoy

Veteran running back LeSean McCoy did not see the field in Buffalo’s preseason debut. Instead, Frank Gore started for Buffalo with Devin Singletary, Christian Wade, Marcus Murphy, Senorise Perry and T.J. Yeldon all receiving carries as well. Gore is not expected to play tomorrow night so it will likely be McCoy playing with the first-team offense.

 

Although it is just the preseason, McCoy can use the game to prove to naysayers that he still has plenty left in the tank when given carries or opportunities to catch the ball out of the backfield against the Panthers.

Darryl Johnson

Darryl Johnson had an impressive preseason debut against the Colts. He racked up three tackles, one sack and one pass defensed in Buffalo’s victory and showed that he could be ready to contribute as the team’s No. 4 defensive end this year.

 

It is possible that Buffalo carries five defensive ends at the start of the season, but it is far from a given. Johnson and Mike Love are likely viewing themselves as battling for one roster spot. If Johnson has a repeat performance of his preseason debut, he could take the lead in the No. 4 defensive end competition.

I was contemplating making the drive from Atlanta for this game but bailed at last minute.  Hopefully I will be able to find it online. My guess is there will be plenty of Bills fans in attendance.

 

What I want to see most is Ed Oliver making Cam feel the punishment promised by that stare he gave him a couple of days ago.  I have a feeling he has bad intentions on his mind.

I agree with this, especially the punt return part. I am very intrigued by how his rugby skills would translate to punt or kickoff returns.  I am also excited to see more of Singletary in the next 2 games, but game 4 should be a heavy dose of Wade.

I commend the happy couple for getting this taken care of before college football season. People who have weddings on CFB saturdays are just hoping for a low turnout imo, or can expect people to be staring at their phone throughout the ceremony and reception. ;)
