Gameday Thread Preseason #2 Bills @ Bears 8/21 2nd Half Thread


Recommended Posts

Even as an opposing fan I was like "RUN FIELDS YOU FOOL YOU ARE GOING TO DIE".  But yeah, even with the penalty I still wouldn't turn back time to change it.  That will get in his head and maybe throw him off.  As others have said it's a real welcome to the NFL moment.

 

Also not a valid penalty, was a "that looked scary" flag.  Tighten your chin strap, Justin.

If Sweeney is healthy he makes the team. If he isn't I wouldn't be at all shocked if they go with just 2 and Gilliam as a hybrid. They don't have anyone else.

I think we’re good with Knox, Hollister, Gilliam and Sweeney, but if one of these guys get hurt, we need a headhunter/blocking TE to round out the unit. It’s dirty work but it must be done.

If they're open, the coaches are going to see that on the tape. It's not going to hurt them THAT much.

 

 

You're right but if you're watching fan or coach you definitely want to see him attempt throws every down unless your pocket is gone.

Facemask-to-facemask is the same thing.... you can't hit the head on a QB in the pocket. That's been the rule for years now.

No I get that.  A rule is a rule, penalty is a penalty type thing.  That said Smith lowers his head and blasts him and I'm thinking dumb play.  He goes in head up and makes a play on the QB and I'm thinking dumb rule.

Soldier Field isn't 100 years old. It's 19.  The facade surrounding the building is 100 years old.

Lambeau Field had an inflation adjusted 455 million dollar renovation in 2001 and another 150 million dollar reno in 2013.

 

And you are right, our stadium isn't in the group of historical stadia, nor should it be. It's old, and not everything old is historical.

 

And FWIW, Cleveland moved because the city jerked Art Modell around about a stadium for a LONG time.

Cleveland was pissed when Modell moved. That stadium was leased for another 2 or 3 years and they were begging for him to stay until the lease ran out. They loved the Browns and would have definitely supplied a new stadium had he stayed the length of it. They broke ground on their stadium now like a year after the other one was torn down. Why would they screw with Modell on a new stadium and willingly build a new one right after he leaves?

hopefully it’s just serious enough for IR 

Could work out perfect for the Bills - they've seen what he can do - put him on IR now and potentially bring him back later - unlimited players can come back from IR again this year

He hit him in the head for sure, but Fields needs to tighten that chin strap for sure. I've never seen anyone wear it so loosely.
