Bills at Colts: Open Game Thread

Buffalo Bills at Indianapolis Colts, Aug 24, 2008 8:00 PM EDT


Buf_medium      Ind_medium
Buffalo Bills (1-1) at Indianapolis Colts (1-2)
Final Score: BUF 20 IND 7
Bills/Colts: What to Watch For
SBN Colts coverage: Stampede Blue

Q4, 9:19: Buffalo's twentieth string offense capitalizes on a Keith Ellison interception with a Rian Lindell field goal.  Bills 20, Colts 7.

Q3, 2:54: Leodis McKelvin just got absolutely torched, mistiming a jump and surrendering a 94-yard touchdown pass by Indy's Quinn Gray.  Bills 17, Colts 7.  Ugly play from our top draft pick.

Q2, 1:43: Joseph Addai blushes.  Addai fumbles the ball on a routine switch of hands; the ball is scooped up by Terrence McGee and promptly returned 68 yards for a touchdown.  Bills 17, Colts 0.

Q2, 5:00: Buffalo, behind outstanding play-calling by Turk Schonert, orchestrates an 18-play beauty of a drive capped off by a one-yard touchdown dive by Xavier Omon.  10-0 Bills.  The team did, however, lose Langston Walker (shoulder) on the drive, and J.P. Losman may have dinged his hand at some point as well.

Q1, 2:31: The Bills take a 3-0 lead on their second drive of the game on some nice work - albeit work that came up short - by J.P. Losman through the air.  Buffalo's offense has Indy's defense off-balance, but a Losman-to-Evans attempt on third down fails and leads to a 36-yarder by Rian Lindell.

Welcome, Rumblers, to tonight's open game thread for our third pre-season matchup of the year, in which our beloved Buffalo Bills take on the Indianapolis Colts at the newly constructed Lucas Oil Stadium.  The Bills will be without starting quarterback Trent Edwards (thigh) for this game, meaning backup J.P. Losman will get the start.  Wide receivers James Hardy and Roscoe Parrish, tight end Derek Schouman and offensive tackle Matt Murphy will also miss the game; more inactives will be listed here as they come.

If you'd like to join in tonight's live chat with the rest of us, create a free SB Nation account and hop on in!  Upon completion, we'll have a post-game thread up for... wait for it... post-game discussion, and we'll have our weekly film session (starters only) on Tuesday.  Go Bills!

I can hardly wait

Jim Sorgi vs. JP Losman…man, I wish I had a plasma screen TV and surround sound. Joking aside, most of the defensive starters are healthy, and even though its not Peyton Manning throwing the ball, I’d like to see how good the defense does tonight.

that was a bad drop by Reed. Could have had a 1st or at least been close.

Anyone know why Moorman isn’t punting? He usually does in the first half.

by Krenn on Aug 24, 2008 8:16 PM EDT reply actions  

Probably because he doesn’t need to. I’m not fussed.

catch a 1st down, drop another

Bad players will make a play or two if they’re on the field for most of the snaps, but it’ll cost you in long run…

Yeah, that was a good point by Sharpe – the Bills are actually changing formations and personnel well. At least, no false starts / too many men / etc. penalties.

Top of the thread, Ron.

by Brian Galliford on Aug 24, 2008 8:29 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah, Sterling needs to work on the diversity of his calls. How many “beautiful throw and catch” have we heard to this point? Must keep tally…

by Brian Galliford on Aug 24, 2008 8:29 PM EDT reply actions  

Darian Barnes has missed a couple of blocks to this point.

by Brian Galliford on Aug 24, 2008 8:30 PM EDT up reply actions  

I'm not impressed with Barnes at all...

…I think Buffalo missed the boat by once again grabbing a street free agent to start at FB rather than finding a long term solution.

Never forget 56-10. Revenge.

by SuperFan82 on Aug 24, 2008 8:32 PM EDT up reply actions  

Is any NFL fullback a “long-term solution”? Not arguing the point on Barnes, just saying…

by Brian Galliford on Aug 24, 2008 8:33 PM EDT up reply actions  

there's a difference

between FBs like Gardner and Gash and FBs off the street like Shelton and Barnes…I thought Owen Schmidt looked good in the preseason game I saw this week…guess we’ll see first hand in week one.

Never forget 56-10. Revenge.

Nice block on the throw by Fred Jackson, though. Could have been a turnover with that DB coming up Losman’s blind side.

Keep in mind, K, that they have to re-gel. I think they’re doing fine, though I agree it’s not perfect. At least the offense is functioning.

by Brian Galliford on Aug 24, 2008 8:34 PM EDT up reply actions  

who has to re-gel?

this OL has been together all offseason….

~K

by Kurupt on Aug 24, 2008 8:38 PM EDT up reply actions  

They moved Walker to left tackle three weeks ago, K.

by Brian Galliford on Aug 24, 2008 8:39 PM EDT up reply actions  

at first blush...

the o-line has been doing a reasonable job….I’ll have to go back and look at it later this week but I think that was a delayed LB blitz on the last throw to Evans

by Ron From NM on Aug 24, 2008 8:34 PM EDT up reply actions  

of course 7 carries for 11 yards rushing....

It will be interesting ot see if the colts are stacking the box or run blitzing

by Ron From NM on Aug 24, 2008 8:35 PM EDT up reply actions  

I'm disappointed

With all the Colt injuries(especially Peyton) this REALLY feels like a preseason game.

Chris Brown on Walker

“WALKER INJURY "NOT GOOD”: For those that didn’t see it Adam Schefter reported prior to the start of the second half that he spoke with Dick Jauron about Langston Walker’s left forearm injury. He said Jauron confirmed x-rays were taken and when asked what the results were Jauron told him, “Not good.”

We’ll have more updates if they become available."

So at least its not the shoulder.

I need Satellite.

So I presume by now I’m the only one here without the NFL Network? I’ve got cable so I’ve been splitting my attention between the NFL play-by-play and this open thread. Without the visual, all I’ve been able to learn so far is that Langston Walker is really hurt, J.P. Losman looks like a good backup, and I might qualify to have a beer with Cinga sometime.

Did Omon look as good as it sounds/reads?

Youboty has to make the team

He’s been very good on ST this preseason, and is making plays all over the field on D. He’ll get beat some, but he makes plays, something the rest of the DB’s rarely do….

I think he’s the goner again…I still can’t sign off on 11 DB’s. My (final) guess is that James is the odd man out.

True, but...

Has Youboty shown enough that he could handle it? (YES) Is the nickel supposed to be Corner’s forte? (YES) Can the Bills afford to cut Wendling or Wilson after losing so many special teams standouts this offseason (NO)…I’ve gone back and forth and my final guess is that James doesn’t make it.

Never forget 56-10. Revenge.

agree

I’m happy that we actually dictated tempo and controlled the game. That’s what I’m most happy with actually. We faced the Colts starting D and we controlled the game. That is just excellent

Good God this was a big game thread. I had to ditch it because between the thread and and the game it was bogging down my computer. Next time I’m going to have to set up my wife’s laptop so I can do both.

The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.

Need a dual-core machine

Restrict one core to the game thread and the other to the game…

hmmm lets see how this stacks up..........

Dick Jauron’s 3rd year with a team…….an opportunistic defense…..a offense that is ball controlled and doesnt turn the ball over…..soild special teams………2001 Bears ring a bell………13-3……..interesting no?

Not 13-3

We have the Pats in the division, and play some tough teams. I say 11-5 at the very very best.

they're ripe for the picking

If a team with talent feels like going for the crown. I think the Bills fit that description better than anyone else in our division.

Never forget 56-10. Revenge.

well the 2001 bears were 13-3......

Just saw the slo-mo of the Walker injury again

I still can’t see how it’s serious….what exactly happened?!?!?! Barnes hit his hand it looked like, but his arm wasn’t bent funny or knocked around. Just looked like it’d be a bruise on the hand or wrist. Maybe he dinged that nub bone on the wrist. That hurts when it gets hit. Let’s hope that’s all it is…..

Jauron is in the last year of his deal???

I did not know that….

NFL.com

Each side is gambling. If Buffalo has the type of season it is hoping for, Jauron will be able to walk away like the unrestricted free agent he would be. But if the Bills finish with their third straight 7-9 season, then Jauron’s price likely would fall below some of the skyrocketing coaching salaries.

While the Bills have been trying to re-sign wide receiver Lee Evans, and wondering when offensive tackle Jason Peters might report, Jauron’s contract has gotten zero attention. But it should. And it will. And as the season goes on, it will become more and more of an issue.

Umm….Jauron isn’t walking away from the Bills if he has a successful season. That just doesn’t happen….

I wish Eugene Parker represented Jauron…I like Bobby April much more than Kirk Chambers.

Jauron called the injury a “bad bruise”, and he’s optimistic. That’s a bit of good news…
