Bills vs. Lions Open Thread - 2nd Half
Please use this thread for the 2nd half as the other thread seems to be running slower than usual.
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.

Ease up folks....
It,s preseason, last game…. We’re more interested in individual performance than anything else…. Need to see who is worth keeping around…
.If the first half was any indication, not Wright.
The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.
Tasker said he is a given for the roster

Sack came from the LT
