wonderbread Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 If the Lions light us up, we'll have the Pats* right where we want 'em. It certianly is a brilliant rouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I can't imagine the mood here and for Bills fans in general. I guess it depends on how long are starters play. If its all our backups then it doesn't matter I suppose. I would think that they would want our first team offense out there for as long as possible just to get some positive attitude going. It would be a sad, sad day at TBD. But on the bright side, maybe, just maybe it gets Jauron the boot before the regular season even begins.

billsfreak Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Everyone who says that wins and losses in the preseason are not important, are 100% correct. But the lackluster play, inability for the first team offense to do anything is important. The play this preseason and not the record or wins and losses should give all Bills fans a reason to be seriously concerned and brace themselves for another disappointing season.

billieve420 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Starting offense should play until they score a TD. That may mean the entire game or after the Lions have hit the showers and the game is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say the "fans" would be even more unhappy and spout out that they know everything that needs to be fixed and how to do it... BUT that's already being done so it would be the same as it is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Ray Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 or after the Lions have hit the showers and the game is over. They'd still go 3 and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Starting offense should play until they score a TD. That may mean the entire game or after the Lions have hit the showers and the game is over. COMPLETELY AGREE! id also like to ask, for some perspective... How would everyone expect the board to react if the Bills go in and totally light up the Lions? Would it instill any confidence at all? Or are all the opinions already formed?

billsfreak Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Wagon jumpers will not be allowed back on . And who is going to keep them off the wagon? They better be better at that than the Bill's Offensive Line is or anyone that wants to will be able to get back on the wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in Chicago Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 How would everyone expect the board to react if the Bills go in and totally light up the Lions? Would it instill any confidence at all? Or are all the opinions already formed? If we win, then the Lions will not have gameplanned for us and would have played a vanilla D and O. In short, we would still suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoner7 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 If the Bills starters can score a TD I will consider the game a win, no matter what the final score. (If you cant score on the Lions D, when they have a "preseason game plan", then you really really s*ck) Baby steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phxbacker Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Actually, seeing as the starters will play at most one series it means... we'll probably win easily. Thats what i was going to say! Our 2nd and 3rd stringers have been at the very least more energized and quicker to the ball then the first team so we do have a good chance to win. but in the end it's 0-0 and game on after that.

toddgurley Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 You beat me to it. Ha Ha Its preseason-so who cares. I mean I would like to see some positive things out of our team, but its PRE-SEASON and it means nothing. REMEMBER THE LIONS WERE 4-0 IN PRE-SEASON LAST YEAR AND LOOK HOW THAT TURNED OUT. I rest my case- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Caveman Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 What happens if the Lions light us up? Nothing, since neither set of starters will be playing more than a series, or at most two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'64 Bills Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I can't imagine the mood here and for Bills fans in general. I guess it depends on how long are starters play. If its all our backups then it doesn't matter I suppose. I would think that they would want our first team offense out there for as long as possible just to get some positive attitude going. I just can't imagine that happening. It's almost like the Bills scheduled this game for the final pre-season game at home so things would look good! If it does I can't imagine DJ not being on a tight, tight rope by who ever is in charge these days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGB Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I think everyone realizes that pre season game results are meaningless. If the Bills have not had a recent and 10 year history of sucking huge, and did not get progressively worse last season, everyone could minimalise these games. I think we are all looking for positive signs. Even if it's a great drive one series, then a dumb turnover the next and we lose. At least we know we are capable of positive things. But nothing seems to have changed. We look almost exactly like we did last season. Thats what has lots of us thinking negative. However, I am moderately encouraged by the defense. They didn't look too bad at all against the Steelers. I think they will be significantly better than the offense this year. right, as long as we don't look like the UB Bulls could whale on us or a well coached high school team could beat us... yahoo!

Koufax Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Starting offense should play until they score a TD. That may mean the entire game or after the Lions have hit the showers and the game is over. I like this. Taking them out to rest their Endzone-Free behinds doesn't seem to make any sense at all.

The Senator Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Well, if Trentie goes 3-and-out on his only series, or throws the INT that allows the Lions to score the 1st TD, he'll have done nothing to make fans feel more comfortable about him as a starter - especially if Fitzpatrick come in and gives a solid performance.
