Bills - Vikings Pre Game thread


Recommended Posts

I will dutifully watch the Bills tonight looking to see what players might make the PS.

It would be nice to see Tyree Jackson play much better.

Maybe the designated "disaster QB" (might that be Dawson Knox?) will take some snaps tonight, LOL.

 

Go Bills, and stay healthy!

I have a feeling this game will be the ugliest of ugly.  Tyree Jackson isn't ready for an NFL football field and he'll be playing the entire game.  I hope no one is killed.

 

In other words...of course I'll be watching.

5 players to watch in the preseason finale | Bills vs. Vikings

 

This is it. The final preseason game for the Buffalo Bills. Here’s an opportunity for these players to make a good impression on the coaching staff before rosters are trimmed to the 53 on Saturday.  ...

As most probably know, the Bills have NEVER gone 4-0 in the preseason. I know, I know, who cares?

Their chances to do so this year took a big hit when it was announced that Tyree Jackson would start the whole game.

D'oh!

Realistically does anyone really have a shot of making the team tonight?   I am sure some who play will be on the roster but those decisions have mostly been made at this point.   Most of the guys playing are going to be let go.  This game is not really worth watching.

Except Wade will be too.

Are you a fan? Serious question.

What history says about NFL teams that go 4-0 in the preseason

 

6 teams have gone undefeated in the preseason.

 

Average regular-season wins: 7.8

Median regular-season wins: 8

Playoffs: 41.7%

 

If you take out the 2008 Lions and 2017 Browns, which both went 0-16 after going 4-0 in the preseason, the average jumps up to 8.3 wins.

 

But eight wins isn't going to be good enough to make the playoffs.

Winning in the preseason is better than losing, but getting through healthy is what any team wants.

For those out of the area with Sunday ticket looks like game will be shown on the Sunday ticket app.

I thought Directv only shows regular season games?...not preseason. I have Sunday Ticket but no mention of tonight's Bills game.

It's only on the app.  The past few years they have been showing only the week 4 preseason games on the app.

I think it's more of the case of someone playing themselves off the roster, or getting hurt and losing their opportunity.

Great find. I'm now rooting for a Bills loss.

Alright, Tyree. Forget what I said. Keep being yourself. You got this.

always liked the Vikings logo and unis

 

I like the unis too but don’t like the horns.  A 3D logo does not look good when flatten to 2D imo. 

 

They should go with a white helmet and use the Viking dude shown at the beginning of this thread.

Only 6 teams have gone undefeated in the preseason?  Two went 0-16 and the average wins is still about 8?  Math seems weird there. 

 

That means the other 4 teams won 12 games, on average. 

 

But it says the average without them is 8.3. My head hurts.
