HappyDays Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Rousseau was the best player on the field for either team. We got a pass rushing stud at the bottom of the 1st round all because of a mediocre pro day. 17 13 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I know it was preseason, but we were able to run the ball early and we got pressure on the QB all day long. Those were the two things I had hoped the most to see. 6 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transplantbillsfan Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 With so much good in this game in the important part of the game (the 1st half), the bad really sticks out. And I really only have 4 bads: 1) Kumerow's 2 drops. It's really just one drop in my eyes because that first one his left arm was held, but he coulda caught that. 2nd drop was brutal. Still think he's firmly on the roster, but maybe this opens a window for the other TC darling in Lenoir. He DEFINITELY started making up for the drops with that impressive sideline catch and toe drag. 2) Knox dropped another ball. That plus Hollister looks really good might help flip the starting TE sooner rather than later. 3) Epenesa just plain whiffed on a tackle he should have made. Obviously the sack late in the half was a good way to start to make up for it. And yes, he played pretty well otherwise. 4) McKenzie muffed a punt. He’s an absolute roster lock, though. You can tell especially based on how much they went in his direction after that play on offense... maybe just showing confidence in him. And you can see why he's pretty much a roster lock with what he does on offense. Some might point to Siran Neal on that TD from Dalton, but that was pretty solid coverage, just a great catch essentially off Neal's helmet. Thought Neal had a pretty solid first half. On the positive side it's looking like Gilliam has found a spot on this team. Defense has some serious depth. Wildgoose played pretty well. Obviously Mitch played great and I feel good if Josh misses a game or 2. Oh... and Singletary looks like a different player. He’s RB1 at this point for sure. It'd be nice if some of our WRs don't get picked up after cutdowns and we can stash them on the PS. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaronthebaron Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Hollister has some wheels, Trubisky was excellent. Some excellent D lineman are gonna get cut. Anyone else catch Zimmer chase down the receiver on the bubble screen? Another average showing by Brieda, other than the almost touchdown. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilliam got stuffed and had to bounce his TD outside, Singletary got stuffed on the 2pt conversion, Moss got stuffed later on on a short yardage but got carried for the 1st down by the defender.

gonzo1105 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Some really interesting decisions to come. Tons of depth on this team that could play significant roles for other teams. Stevenson’s injury may make him IR eligible for redshirt getting us to 6 WRs and making that decision easier. Same with Hodgins. DE may be harder. Ideally Basham goes but we all know they aren’t cutting a 2nd rounder. I’m thinking Obada or Johnson gets traded at some point 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 The Bills are a deep well coached football team. The depth is growing. This is how you build sustainable success. It was so weird listening to the Bears talk about how teams are going to raid this roster, especially WR. WR was such a weakness just a few years ago. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78thealltimegreat Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Ran the ball well…Mitch looked solid…had a special teams td….and even the 3rd stringers on D made Justin Fields realize he was in the NFL…all in all solid solid game 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 That was a really impressive showing. Preseason or not, anytime your backups can go out and DOMINATE another teams starters you have a lot to look forward to. Mitch showed some skills in a good offensive scheme (shots fired at you Nagy) Rousseau shouldn’t even play the last game and go into bubble wrap. I think we will see a lot of our cuts on other teams 53 opening day. Let’s just skip Green Bay and go to week 1. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Boy Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 This whole offseason has been about D line for me. Today was another affirmation of their marked improvement. I am so happy to have Trubisky this year!!!!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCbillsfan Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) I was focused on the Bills oline. The starting 5 was Dawkins, Feliciano, Bates, Ford, and Brown. Brown played a few series at RT and moved over to LT. Doyle came in at RT for Brown. Hart came in later and was called for holding on a play. Looks like Hart was dropped down the depth chart. Both Morse and Darryl Williams sat out this game. Boettger played both LG and RG. Looks like Bills are leaning towards 9 OL. Dawkins, Feliciano, Morse, Ford, Williams, Boettger, Brown, Doyle, and Bates. Edited August 21, 2021 by DCbillsfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdabillsfan Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I don't usually watch preseason games much past the 1st half, but this game was exiting enough to keep me watching to the end. Bills are going to have some tough cuts. Loved Epeneza bullrush and stiff arm on the LT, and hit on Dalton. (Made me jump out ofmy chair)Our DL looks much improved from last year. A lot of our cuts will be signed elsewhere 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill starting tight end. Knox with another drop. No one is surprised. I really like hollister as a pass catcher, but he’s more WR than TE imo. Hopefully he can improve as a blocker. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
