Buffalo Bills vs. Dallas Cowboys: Open Game Thread

24 vs 25

FINAL SCORE
Game Preview :: Breaking Down the Cowboys :: Blogging the Boys

Update [2007-10-9 1:38:31 by Brian Galliford]: Only the Buffalo Bills. I don't need to recap it here - you all know what happened. It was an absolutely electric evening at The Ralph, and our young, big-hearted team still found a way to cough up the W. It hurts, but please note the lack of the term "let down" - very little about this performance was a let-down. Initial reactions to come ASAP. Thanks also to everyone stopping by this open thread; thanks, also, to the Cowboys fans who stopped by for acknowledging that this Bills team had your number this week. Give the Patriots hell, guys.

This is it. Monday Night Football is approaching, and with it comes the Bills' stiffest challenge to date in the young 2007 season: beat an undefeated Dallas Cowboys team on a national stage. We've analyzed, we've dissected and we've talked a little trash. It's time to put up or shut up for the young Bills, who will don their throwback uniforms and honor Thurman Thomas during tonight's festivities. Regardless of the outcome of the game, it should be a memorable experience.

I am lucky enough to count myself among the 73,000+ people who will be attending the game at Ralph Wilson Stadium this evening, so I'm leaving this thread in the very capable hands of Dock Ellis, who took care of business in last week's Jets game thread. So if you're looking to leave your thoughts on the game, or - better yet - chat with fellow Bills fans during the game, this is the place to do it. So sit back, enjoy your afternoon/evening and GO BILLS!

Have fun
It's probably going to be the rowdiest crowd in a while.  Hopefully, the actions of some fans won't prevent night games in the near future...

Please bring us some good luck with you Brian.  It would be such an awesome win tonight.

Game
Well, I cannot wait.  Although it is hard to give my 100% optimistic effort when all the press clippings and media talk and everything says the Cowboys will win this game and win this game big.  All I know is I am going to add all I can to make the stadium as loud as possible and hopefully we can stay in it and have a chance come the 4th quarter.  The city, the fans and the organization deserves this game and needs to REPRESENT!

GO BILLS!

Time to MAKE SOME NOISE!

I am too

I have Romo and Barber on my fantasy team, so that might be why, but I really hope not.

The stadium looks great and the crowd sounds totally juiced already.  I really hope we come out smoking.

Injury update.
Ellison's starting, and in a move that y'all know I've been pulling for, George Wilson is getting the start at FS.  I REALLY look forward to seeing what he can do.  He'll be getting some action his way...

Wilson starting at FS
this really worries me.  This guy has ZERO experience and the Cowboys have a stud WR and TE that will work the deep middle.  I hope Wilson is up to the challenge because he's going to be tested early and often...

Wilson showed tremendous growth...
in his instincts, play-reading, and sheer hitting power and determination in the preseason.  I'm talking play that REALLY stood out.  The guy will make one mistake tonight.  My guess is that he'll more than make up for it.  I think that his closing speed will dwarf Leonard's...

Anyways, the rest of the inactives...

The first six are, of course, injured.  As recently as last season, I did not understand the active roster rule.  Now, I surely do...

Better than I thought
Knew the key would be TOs since the O isn't doing anything of substance, but the pass rush and Run D has been much better than I expected.  It's going to be a long night if that imbalance persists, but what a start.

And the announcers are horrible.

Why did we not go for the 4th and 3??
Of course Lindell isn't going to make that. He can't make a big kick to save his life.

If we went for it and didn't get it, those extra 7 yards would have been enough for Dallas to not make that FG.

Oye. After such an inspiring first half by our D, we're only up by one score. We really needed to put points on the board at the end there...

Gotta come out in the 2nd with even more fire.

~K

by Kurupt on Oct 8, 2007 10:05 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I was wondering the same thing
I just got home from playing softball so I missed what appeared to be a very good first half for the Bills.  The first play I saw was the last INT.  When that 4th and 3 came up I figured "this is the perfect spot to go for it Lindell isn't the guy I want kicking the big 50+ yard field goals.  He doesn't have the kind of leg for the long kicks.  Money from inside 40 but 45 out and the accuracy seems to go away with the need for extra distance.

That 4th and 3 was a good chance to really hurt Dallas.  Instead we miss the field goal, give up field position and it results in 3 for Dallas.

Frustrating stuff.

Well, I'm just saying...
...we can't ASSUME that about Rian.

And this makes DJs decision to go for it at the end of the game against the Titans last year seem much more justified.

A trial run, if you will.

Play hard, play smart.

by Dock Ellis on Oct 8, 2007 10:09 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

yeah we can
I assume he misses every time he steps on the field.  I've never felt so uncomfortable about a player. Even after his good season last year, I was never comfortable.  Having him kick a 55 yarder on MNF was about as ridiculous as it gets.  I would still have rather gone for it and failed that give them the extra 7 yards with the miss.  You don't kick 55 yarders with 50 seconds left in the half.

Wasn't it windier than Chicago last year against Tenn.?

~K

by Kurupt on Oct 8, 2007 10:15 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Can't help but be impressed
The D has been solid.  You have to expect that Romo will connect with Witten and TO from time to time, but 4 INTs?   Ridiculous.  And they haven't been fluky - there has been pressure in Romo's face all night.

On offense, to be honest, it's about as good as you could expect.  I still maintain you either go for it there or punt it because missing the FG gives the Cowboys an additional 8 yards of field position (and a 53 yarder is obviously not an automatic), but I'll take 17-10.

by thetaxman on Oct 8, 2007 10:09 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Impressed with the D
but the O hasn't really put it together yet.  We've moved it but haven't even attempted a deep throw or gotten the running game going. Basically, we need to start putting some points on the board with our O.

Let's keep up the pressure D and hope Romo keeps making mistakes...

Jauron really blew the last 2 minutes
Play calling was questionable. Of course, Dockery made a monumental mistake. But the last thing you wanted was to give Dallas an opportunity to score, and a 54-yard field goal attempt was the worst option to accomplish that task. I probably would have punted, or alternately tried to pick up the first down. Those decisions can be the difference between winning a game you're not expected to win and "being what you are."

Jauron = weakest link
Yup.  Some of the strategery from this crew has been questionable this year, from the 3rd down bomb in game 1 followed by the conservative D to this decision.  If they lose and the game is close, I will be royally pissed.

Jones definitely was down.  3rd and 7 or 8 rather than 2.

by Dock Ellis on Oct 8, 2007 10:22 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

He got the first down...
it was 3rd and 2.  So it'll be first down but about 10 yards further back from where they spotted the ball.

A pretty obvious challenge nonetheless.

Not quite enough pressure.
A first, at our 19.

by Dock Ellis on Oct 8, 2007 10:59 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

End of the third.
All right, now.

Any thoughts?

3rd and 10 coming up to start the 4thQ
Absolutely have to make a stop here.  Triple team Witten if you have to.  Just keep them out of the end zone guys....

Incomplete!
Nice job, Kiwaukee!  Great coverage.  FG attempt...good.  24-16!

One offensive TD.
That's all we need.

Good protection, again.
We keep needing firsts.

Bend, but don't break
That's the story now.  At the very least, we need a long time consuming drive.  Give it to Marshawn, the Dallas D must be getting tired now.

Gotta throw it away
That was the one thing I was going to mention before I was concerned about.  He's been checking down to his last option a bunch tonight and I was wondering when he was going to forget to throw it away.

All right, they got it at their 27.
Defense, you rested enough?  Cause, there's this job you gotta do...

Frick
our O has done nothing tonight. We've moved it a bit, but have only put up the 3 pts.

It would have been nice if we had gone deep at some point this game.

Gotta hope the D makes a play down the stretch.  We could really use a 5th INT...

Blind Zebras
Seriously, could these officials be any worse?  Missed the horse collar AND the helmet to helmet?  I hate Roy Williams.

by thetaxman on Oct 8, 2007 11:18 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

that should have been 3 15 yard penaltes
15 yard facemask
horse collar
late hit

Roy Williams is the DUMBEST football player I've ever watched.

damn refs are killing us this half

looks like they may have given Reed a gift first down though

That's not a catch
you can blatantly see it on the ground.  Let's see if the refs are smart enough to reverse it...

That game was unreal. I don't think I'll speak a word at work tomorrow. I'm too stunned to do anything right now.

Great game guys
I expected to come in here hat in hand after talking a little smack early in the week, and accepting my medicine.

I will take credit for telling you all that Nick Folk has ice water in his veins, and that time out on his first try was total B.S. and there needs to be a rule preventing that nonsense, but the kid proved what I said about him.

Anyhow, The Bills certainly played a GREAT game tonight. Would have been enough to beat most any other team.

Bills played great
you guys should be proud, you made one of the best qbs in the league look like Rex Grossman, I tip my hat to you all.

Great job!! We certainly didn't deserve to win and you guys did.

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN COUNT?
Why doesn't anyone complain about the clock!?!?!?

The onside kick took 6 seconds!!!!!! The ref only took 2 seconds off the clock!!!!!

Cowboys should never been able to kick the field goal with 2 seconds left. It was actually -4 seconds.

Someone needs to fire your coach for not potesting right after 2 seconds were taken off the clock.

Also, you should fire #20 (I think it was) for not even trying to recover the onside kick. The cowboys guy dived on the ball and the bills guy just stood and watched. Watch the last 20 seconds of the game again. You will see what I mean on both points.

Cowboys won the game with negative :04 seconds on the clock. Am I wrong that the clock should start on the kick and not when the ball is touched?

I'm not a Bills fan but I hate it when the refs are directly responsible for a loss.

Timing in Final Two Minutes of Each Half
http://www.nfl.com/rulebook/timingfinal

On kickoff, clock does not start until the ball has been legally touched by player of either team in the field of play. (In all other cases, clock starts with kickoff.)

by hrkac on Oct 9, 2007 1:39 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Just showed the replay
Even if the clock starts when the first person touches it, 4 seconds went by from the initial touch and the blow of the whistle.

That makes the clock NEGATIVE :02 seconds when the Cowboys kicked it.

Either way, you guys got robbed!

by Mike on Oct 9, 2007 1:06 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

The worst part about that play is that
the refs reviewed it and still got the time wrong.

Still, that shouldn't have been a factor. The onsides kick should have been recoverd.
