Detroit Lions at Buffalo Bills, Aug 28, 2008 6:30 PM EDT


Buf_medium      Det_medium
Buffalo Bills (2-1) vs. Detroit Lions (3-0)
6:30PM EST, Ralph Wilson Stadium
TV: Bills TV Network (WHAM 13/WKBW 7)
SB Nation Lions coverage: Pride of Detroit

This is it, Buffalo Bills fans.  The 2008 pre-season is about to reach its end.  The Buffalo Bills are a half hour away from kicking off their pre-season finale, a home affair against the Detroit Lions, and there is plenty to be excited for.  The regular season is just around the corner.

Regrettably, I won't be able to join y'all in tonight's open game thread festivities, but as all of you are excellent, I'm sure the place will be in good hands during my absence (and by absence, I mean I'll be at the game).

If you're looking for the best place to discuss the game live as it happens, well, your search need not continue.  If you don't have an account, go ahead and create a free one and hop on in to talk about tonight's game.  I'll have a recap up later on tonight, once I make the trip back from The Ralph.  Enjoy tonight's festivities, folks, and - as always - GO BILLS.

hey, where do you go on the xssports to see the game?

Wearing my Bills jersey to the Eagles-Bills game last year in Philly probably wasn't the smartest thing I've ever done. But then again, that's why they call me die-hard.

at least

we’ll get to see how much he wants it….fumbles and he is a goner

Chris Brown seems to think if he performs well enough, he’ll be the #3 RB w/OMon on the PS…

CB is a huge homer for Wright..........

He used to be the same way with Gates too………IMO Omon should be the 3

Omon has looked so much better. Runs guys over, has a lot more quickness and has hung on to the ball for the most part…

He's pretty awful

fumbles or no fumbles, the guy dances around instead of hitting the hole, and when he does hit it, he’s straight up and down. Add the whole no-speed-whatsoever and I can’t imagine them keeping him over Omon. Of course, they don’t want to admit they were wrong about a 4th rounder so quickly….

Went back and watched the two safeties...

On the first one, the defensive end just ran unblocked between the tackle and guard. Neither of them even looked at him, so I have to wonder what’s going on – did they intentionally allow him upfield, forcing him to run past the play? Maybe it was supposed to be a misdirection of some sort? Very strange.

My computer sucks sometimes

I fianally get back on just in time to see Wright fumble AGAIN.

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

not sure about DE

guy wouldn’t play with 4 others head of him.

LB yes. If Jon Corto is your 6th LB, you’re in trouble depthwise. A guy who was switched from S 2 weeks ago all of a sudden makes the team as a LB….yikes

Thumb surgery

out for the forseeable future. With Schouman still out, I’d have to believe Fine is placed on IR so we don’t have to keep 5 TE’s

Come on Fewell

let your CB’s play man up. It’s too easy for an O when they start 10 yards off the line of scrimmage. I’m sick of this style of D, and it’s part of the reason we’ve been so terrible against the pass since he’s taken over
