We have to tackle better. We have to hold the point better. Everything," Hackett said. "Obviously, our defense didn't play good enough. The offense didn't play good enough, especially in the beginning. But that's why we do this." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1ManRaid Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 43 minutes ago, HappyDays said: The only negative was the 1st team DL being unable to create consistent pressure against Denver's 2nd team OL. Hopefully they were just shaking off rust and missing Von Miller. Rousseau is already an excellent run defender but we really need him to be more a consistent pass rusher to justify the 1st round pick. Meanwhile KC and Mahomes look like they haven't missed a beat with Tyreek Hill gone. Another playoff matchup against them feels inevitable. The pass rush will need to show up in that one. They looked to be getting tons of pressure. The Broncos QBs just kept dumping it off quick just to get rid of it before a sack. Can't do much when you have 0.8 seconds to get to the QB before they panic and dump it off. I call that a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabel Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 2 hours ago, Shaw66 said: Again, top to bottom, this team is so well prepared. Everyone knows his job, and they do a good job executing. I wish we'd seen the first team against theirs, but that's one of the things that is not so satisfying about preseason. In control two-team scrimmages, the coaches can get the matchups on the field that they want. Keenum still has work to do, calling plays and getting the team out of the huddle. Allen does it flawlessly, Keenum's clearly still learning. Your first line there echo my sentiments quite a bit with how I felt after this game. The offense just seems to operate so smoothly and with a lot of confidence. I mean, when things are rolling the way they’re supposed to, they’re great…and then when the play breaks down, it’s even better sometimes. You can tell Allen and the WR group have great chemistry. They see Josh moving around to avoid pressure and they instantly know where to go and try to get open for him and if he spots them it’s a 35 yard laser beam for a TD. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Some of those SB teams when you were in short pants were pretty damned good.

Spiller bounces a lot. There was one play today Cook bounced it with speed and made the defense look slow. All I could see was CJ Spiller. I don’t think we understand how good Spiller was in 2012.

However if said teams the Bills played against were also in the same shape as the boys now and whatnot.....well - thats why they play the games.

clayboy54 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, sirebors said: What are these gloves for? The orange gloves show when the network goes to a commercial break. Typically, they hold the glove over their chest during a break and drop it to their side when the break is over. Watch the guy during a game. It’s interesting. Unlike the above reply, the guy doesn’t run onto the field or wave his arms or anything like that. It’s just an inconspicuous way the Referee knows when to wind the clock - play clock again. Did you ever notice when the network comes back from their break and the rejoin graphics that immediately the Ref blows the whistle and drops his hand to start the play clock? Did you just think the network timed it perfectly on a stopwatch? Nope. It goes like a well-oiled machine because of the guy with the orange glove and usuall a yellow vest with an X on it.
