bobobonators Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 The connection between Allen and Beasley is undeniable. Beasley has a knack for getting open and making huge catches to extend drives. Hes a critical part of this offense and takes it to another level imo. 5 9 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone give me the down low on the defensive issues? 1st series: Jerry jumped offside on 3rd and 5, free first down. Open running lanes, looked like Rams running on us at times (not surprised Lafleur and Mcvay similar principles). Cam Lewis gave up a big pass play, post corner route. Then a big goal line stand, Tre PBU on 4th and 1. 2nd series: much of the same in running game. Gave up a big play action completion on 4th and 1. Hyde picked off a floater in our endzone, Oliver blew up their center and Aj good outside contain/pressure. Basically everyone expecting a "more stout"/aggressive front likely disappointed. Going against backups, we didn't look dominate up front as expected. But my take, our starters just looked a step too slow to diagnose. Star looked like old self (not dominate but holding his own), and Jordan Love looked poised between the 20s. We didn't seem to disengage on blocks, nearly as much as in 1st two games, but not worried. Preseason about knocking off the rust and think we ran some vanilla looks again. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And looking back, it was 2 big pass plays (one against our 4th/5th outside corner, likely cut and another on a broken coverage). Stout when we had to be, people need to remember Jordan Love was a 1st rounder for a reason (he looked good) and Matt Lafleur is an excellent offensive mind as well. Week 1 is what matters, looked relatively healthy coming out of game. Overall great preseason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone give me the down low on the defensive issues? They bled first downs, let the Packers drive down the field, did not give up any really big plays but they did not make them punt. Finally stopped them in the red zone, and also the Packers missed a point-blank field goal. The Packers' time of possession in the first half was almost equal to the the Bills'. I hope they don't let teams hold the ball so much in the regular season, because Josh can't score sitting on the sidelines.

Ethan in Cleveland Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I saw nothing to dissuade my opinion that the weakest link on this team is Edmunds.

JA17 running to his left and throwing back across his body to the middle of the field was the second jaw dropping play he made today. We all know what was 1st. 3.) Not sure what to make of our #1 Defense going against their 2nd string offense. GB made a lot of plays. They are definitely deep and talented. 4.) Too many presnap penalties. 5.) Neal was the most noticeable player on defense today. 6.) Love TW27 saying he wanted to talk about his QB when interviewed. 7.) Bates, Stevenson and Brant seem like the only new M*A*S*H entries today. 8.) Think we saw how they plan to throw to "E" today. Quick hitters. 9.) No Singletary was interesting. 10.) Thought they might throw more to Hollister today. Didn't happen. 11.) I would have liked to see Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams go after our secondary. Those would have been valuable reps. 12.)

TFBillsfan Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Exciting to see the offense know what it wants to do and execute. No reason thus far to believe this offense won’t be one of the top in the league. Defensively, I know it was more of a vanilla defense, but was really hoping having Star back, we would see a difference. What I saw was our D getting pushed back consistently in the run game and Edmunds not filling the gap. Our run game will need to be strong as teams will want to run against us to keep our offense throttled and off the field as much as possible. Hope my view is an over action and not what plays out in the regular season. We need Star and Edmunds to really step up this year. Thankfully, we made it thru preseason without any significant injuries. As a long time Bills fan, it’s amazing to reflect back on how far this team has come and the overall quality and competitiveness of the roster. Hoping we can add a player or two with roster cuts.

Motorin' Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, Protocal69 said: 8k replay of the TD pass to Gabriel Davis I love the fact that the NFL has added small full frame cameras to their broadcasts. They have much shallower depth of field than the dinosaur broadcast cams used in regular live tv. That allows the background to be thrown out of focus, instead of having the entire image in focus. From what I've seen, they are not actually 8k cameras. I've seen people say on here that the NFL is doing the "Madden Effect". It's the opposite actually, Madden has been emulating the large sensor "cinematic" look with shallow depth of field in there animations... They both looks really cool.

RunTheBall Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 We could have the number one rated O and D and people on here would still find something to complain about. It’s the friggin preseason people, there is very limited information you can gather from it. Yeah, Allen and the receivers looked in sync but if you read anything about practices the last month that’s been the story. All putting up some stats against GB scrubs does is make us feel good but I think it was a good idea to get the first team O some reps in a game situation. Other than that, I’ll worry about the run D when the bullets start flying for real. I have no idea how much effort is put in during the last preseason game when the over riding goal is to come out with no injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
