Bills -Broncos Post Game Thread Week 2 Preseason

Lots of arrows up. 
 

Need to tackle better, clean up the penalties and improve ST kick off coverage. That’s about all I got. Ready to get the season started!

If true, WGR really needs a delay and dump button.  How embarrassing that a call like that ever gets through. 

If WGR used the dump button for anything other than profanity, their hosts would all be silent.

[Doc]

Going to be some tough cuts with a lot of them being picked-up by other teams.  I think they have to keep Blackshear over Johnson or Jones. 

 

As for ST's, easy.  Kick TBs every time.

Tasker was more bearable than usual today

Keep in mind that no team is ever going to play 11 backups all at once in the regular season.  The question is, how can 1 or 2 backups play among 9 or 10 starters…when they are needed. 

I realize as much, as does everyone, but Jeesh, that was not a confidence instilling performance by any of them, especially being that their jobs are on the line.

Not true.  There's always the ever-popular condiments draft.

Nobody really. Hard to tell from the stands. 

 

Nick McCloud missed several tackles today on Defense and Special Teams.  He did not help himself.  Johnson missed tackles at Safety as well, but probably will not cost him his spot.  Other than that, I got nothing on the negative side.  Very strong showing by the Bills today.

Blackshear is too good to release for a purely special teams rb. He will get snatched up immediately if we try to stash him on the practice squad. 

[Rc2catch]

I didn’t watch the game sadly but that stat line looks pretty impressive especially in the rush department. Even preseason against backups 200 yards at 7 yards per rush is nice. And reading on here might be an all time low for fan complaints after a game.

Bearable, yes but his breakdowns is the plays were pretty bad. 

 

Two that stuck out was saying a receiver was open when he wasn't and the penalty on Morris he said was on the other side of the play during the replay but was right in front of Moss.

Special teams 

I realize that the Bills' three best special teams tacklers -- Matakevitch, Jones, and Neal -- weren't playing. Nevertheless, the Bills gave up too many big kick returns today. When the opposing offense is regularly starting past their own 30 yard line, you're not doing a good enough job making tackles on special teams.

 

I get what you are saying but there was a lot of 3rd string guys getting looks on ST today.  I even seen a guy who may get cut this coming week

take snaps.  I truly think that McDermott and Smalley want to look at all the options he has.  It's going to be crazy picking the last roster spots

this year.

 

I also have to keep telling myself that Bass could boom them deep into the endzone and give them the ball at the 25.

It will be so interesting to see what cuts or trades are coming.

I'd be surprised if they are able to sneak Blackshear to PS - he had two good performances for other teams to see 

 

Kind of crazy how Shakir seems to always be open - it's not like he's breaking ankles with crazy moves - he just always seems to get to the right place

and he has soft sure hands he doesn't drop. It's uncanny how polished he looks already .

It’s almost unfair. 

[SUNTANBILLS FAN]

Let’s tell the real tragedy today the home scorekeeper allowing it to be 13 seconds on the clock! You could of run off one second. 😂 

[Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD]

The only Bills player who stood out in a negative way was cb Ja'marcus Ingram. Every time a big play was allowed in the passing game, the man in coverage was #46

The real tragedy of today was we punted once and it was the wrong Matt.

[1ManRaid]

All Bills RBs had 4+ carries, and Zack Moss was the only one not to average 5+ yards per rush 😡...

...

...

...

...because he was handed the ball twice on the 1 yard line which he effortlessly waltzed in for scores, lowering his average.  Established as goal line back?

 

*edit*

In fact, he was the only one not to average at least 6.1 yards, and one of only two (Duke Johnson who also had 2 TDs) not to average at least 9.5 yards.

This 13 thing is getting ridiculous IMO.  It's over and a new season.

realizing that it was the preseason just watching the positional battles and the Bills excel was great to watch. Like I said VERY encouraging. And it's just not QB1 either (although he was absolutely fabulous today) the running game overall was STOUT. I think that is incredibly great news for our offense.

it wasn’t lost on the Bills. They squib kicked it. 

[Turbo44]

The Denver players had looked like they checked out early on, which is weird as these are the guys fighting for their NFL lives.  Related, why would Denver agree to travel all the way across country for a pre-season game?  Seems a bit stupid.

It’s been 32 or 33 years, and 47 yards wants you to know it will never go away. 😈

[Victory Formation]

I’ve seen enough, the Bills are a Super Bowl ready team. McBeane faces some very tough decisions in terms of cuts. Lots of our 4th/5th stringers could absolutely make other teams active 53 man rosters.

 

This is the best Bills roster I’ve ever seen in my entire life and I was born in 87. I feel strongly that this Bills team would crush all of the teams from our back-to-back Super Bowl losses.

[1ManRaid]

Outside of his pair of 1 yard TD runs, Moss averaged 8.5 yards per rush.  Outside of his 2 yard TD run, Duke Johnson averaged 6.6 yards per rush (including one being stopped at 8 yards cuz another TD).  As a team we averaged 7.7 yards per rush, thanks to Barkley bringing down the average with 1 rush for a 1 yard loss.

 

We are freaking spoiled if these are our worst RB performers out of 5.

About a quarter of their regular season games are at 1pm across the country.  Good practice for them.

I hear ya, and I made that caveat in my first couple of sentences, but…

 

When you’re looking for negatives after a game like that, you might have to reach a little. Besides, the Broncos were ALSO playing third stringers and nobodies on special teams, and they still outclassed the Bills’ unit.

 I don't know about anybody else but 13 seconds rhetoric  is almost a too sore subject for me to joke or laugh about still. And I have a Great sense of humor.

 

lol no offense suntanBills I feel you 100% its a jinx we need to exorcise from our memory banks I think.

I got the Denver feed living in Colorado.  I was a little shocked at the Broncos TV crew starting the game with "What could of been" comment

while showing a picture of Josh Allen.

Haven’t seen it yet, but if they’re acting like he’s great after today, the could probably chill. 

Based on his career, he’s a solid backup option to have.

The 13 seconds thing doesn't even bother me, it's boring at this point being regurgitated by every troll at every opportunity WELL long after the point of no longer being relevant.  It's like if you still ran around screaming I'M PICKLE RIIIIICK thinking it's still hip with the kids.

I wanted 52 points but Ken Dorsey screwed it all up

A lot of Bronco fans are mad at Elway for not picking him.  I got to admit when I seen it I was like, WTF would you say that?

I was born in 1949, nevertheless I am tending to agree with you
