Everyone knows the 3rd preseason game is the most important. Nobody wants to get hurt in the final preseason game and training camp is over. Furthermore first cuts are right around the corner. This game gives some of the walk ons, fill-ins, scrubs, and and has been veterans to show case their 'skills' one last time before the ax falls.
Much has been said about the Bills lackluster offensive output the first 2 preseason games. There are arguments going both ways, the Bills brass doesn't want to give away the play book before week 1, they don't want to risk injuries, a starting running back hasn't been determined, its only the preseason who gives a shit etc. And conversely it has been argued that you should at least test out Marshawn before the real games begin, there is no tightend in this offense, Peerless Price sucks, Losman looks shaky and still is unproven as a full time starter, there is a new offensive line and need to gel and look rather mediocre, is Fairchild lost, etc.
Tonights game at the Ralph should go along way in answering these festering questions. The first team offense will be playing at least the whole first half according to Dick Jauron. There aren't many if any starting positions on the offense up for grabs. Marshawn will be starting week 1, Fowler if healthy will be the center (not sure who I want to start at C) and unless Marv and co. come to their senses and actually cut Price, he will be the 2nd WR.
Vince Young, the obvious heir apparent to Vick as the most over hyped, over rated quarterback in the game, will give the Bills and their young 'upstart' defense a real challenge today. The Bills defense actually has it easy. All the professional analysts and prognosticators peg the Bills defense as lower third in the league, and for some good reason. They lost 2 starting linebackers and an upper echelon cornerback. So if the defense surprises and actually plays even decent it will be a major boost to this team.
I however am not in the majority that believes the Bills defense will blow big time. Sure they are a weak up front but the linebacking corps should be better, perhaps not initially. Then again I can't even think of any offensive weapons for VY and the Titans. Chris Brown?? Bennett??

This team sucks, we can't stop the run or pass. Vince Young completed 13-of-19 passes for 162 yards and can run better than Vick. Vick is a gimmick, Young is actually a good QB, maybe not this year ala Madden Curse. Losman looked awful again, 9-20 and a pick. Great stats, he is unproven as a starter. On the pick, Losman stayed in the pocket (Which is good) but he threw to other team, Young had a similar play but threw to his team. You can't be serious to think, we wouldn't be a better team without Young.
ReplyDeletelosman had 180 yards passing and a touchdown as well.. on the int he couldn't step into the throw because of pressure coming into where he would step.. chris er vince young blows, he is just hard to tackle.. a few of his passes were ill advised and lucky to be not intercepted
ReplyDeleteHey you D Bag...VY can S my D. No we wouldn't be better with VY. Losman threw for 180 yards and 1 td in one half of football. WHat more do you want from him. Project those stats out for the whole game pal...360 yds passing and 2 tds...those stats are "awful"...go F yourself. It isn't JP's fault that the O line can't run block and he has no help with a running game at all..yet again. Our run D is so bad any quarterback would have a field day, but you obviously woudln't know that because you are a F'ing idiot. Don't comment on this blog you F'ing moron...F you.

ReplyDeleteWhat is this number? Losman's QB rating, joke!
It is the pre season pal, QB rating in the pre season is about as meaningless as your life. Kill yourself.
