Preseason Week 2 Bills at Bears - Game thread

[Bill51390]

No excuses, they looked like crap. But it’s pretty common for the consistent top teams in the league to look like ***** in the preseason. Especially against teams that have been *****, with a new coaching staff. They have more to prove and more to learn.

Beane better sign or trade for a Free Safety because Hamlin straight sucks and Bishop isn’t ready for the regular season and like Hamlin he just might suck too

Buffalo Joe looks lost in coverage. He needs to go.

Congratulations Brad Robbins, you were by far the best Bills player on the field tonight and even though you don't have competition for the job, you nailed it.

Didn’t seem like the Bills played many starters. Are we really gonna be shocked that the Bears starters and primary role players beat the Bills second string up 28-0? The rest of the game was third and fourth stringers so pretty worthless.

Bears starters were out after the first Q.

Yeah, that was the point I was making.

Cook wants to bring a Super Bowl back to Buffalo. Does this guy know anything about anything besides running fast

Damar doesn’t deserve a roster spot 

Yet there's a good chance he's starting against Baltimore unless Bishop gets healthy and wins the job between now and then.

The Bears essentially debuted the Ben Johnson / Caleb Williams era tonight. 
 

I absolutely couldn’t care less about the score.  The Bears needed to do that tonight.  
 

Our 2nd stringers got rolled playing vanilla against Bears first stringers who did some game planning.  

 

From the 2nd quarter on it was our 3rd and bottom of the roster guys.  
 

My only takeaway is that Safety and CB 2 are going to be issues.

A Bills tradition having the punter as MVP

Andreesen is a nice story, but this was going to happen eventually. If you’ve been watching hard knocks, you can see how much he is struggling, particularly in coverage

[Utah John]

The Bills didn't want any part of Hard Knocks, looking at it as a distraction.  But the league told them they had to do it, so they're doing it.

 

It looks like the Bills have the same attitude toward preseason games.  They have to show up but they don't really show up.  They're in uniform and they're sort of executing plays, but not really.  As for evaluating younger players, I saw a lot of guys we've been hearing good things about show us who they really are, players not good enough.  The challenge isn't going to be whom to cut, as we've been reading, but who's worth keeping.

We even screwed that up.

 

KC has the guy we spent the draft pick on.

Well, that’s okay if He says it. He knows more than we could possibly imagine. It will all be revealed to us when the time is right.
