Whoever the Bills play on defense will get a good test as they go up against the Colts starting QB rather than the backup or a no-name scrub. There might be a few first stringers sprinkled in, but it's likely to be mostly second string defensive players for Buffalo going up against the Colts' first string offense. I'm OK with that, but it's not going to give us a true picture of what our first string defense can do. It will be about evaluating individual performances.

RunTheBall Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 All you guys saying you’d be fine Josh and most of the offensive starters not playing a down in the pre season will be the first guys blowing up the game and post game threads when the offense looks like a rust bucket the first game against the Rams. Give me a friggin break, they all need some real preseason game reps especially considering we are playing the SB champs game one. 4 2 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not a half but could see a quarter. The entire first half. He needs his reps now, and then hopefully we never see him again after September 1.

YoloinOhio Posted August 11, 2022 Author Share Posted August 11, 2022 Diggs didn’t play at all last year and Allen played very little in the 3rd game. I expect to see something similar this year. Maybe diggs gets a series since he was coming off the oblique injury last year. Miller played a little last year for the broncos but i would be surprised if he plays at all for us this preseason. I don’t think lack of preseason football contributed to the Steelers loss. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a good test for our backups and rookies going up against the Colts starters. As you mentioned evaluating these players is what's important here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a tough matchup and the Bills didn't have a great game plan. Funny how the narrative changes... Plenty of people were predicting a loss to the Steelers prior to the game.

Yep we looked terrible against Steelers first game and that was at home. We actually looked terrible in quite a few games last year. Steelers, Jags, Colts, Titans...We're playing the superbowl champs in their building. Edited August 11, 2022 by Awwufelloff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what the % is of coaches in the booth or sidelines. I think some OCs really want that face-to-face with the QB on the sidelines...it probably depends upon if the OC has somebody they trust (QB coach) who can serve that role during games. I believe Dorsey will likely stay in the booth because Brady will be his guy for the 1-to-1 with Josh during games.

These guys know how to play football and they practice hard. They'll be ready once the games start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
