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.

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.

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.

I think...

we’ve all agreed on that for a while now…

Tasker said he is a given for the roster

good point

that’s why its hard to evaluate the linemen when they can’t function as a unit

Interesting to see the young guys maturity

In this situation too. So far Steve Johnson and McKelvin have made bad decisions trying to impress

by BuffCrunch on Aug 28, 2008 8:05 PM EDT   0 recs

and Lindellshoul

da kept Fitzpatrick (or whatever his name was) around for this last game

Bell might be a steal

couple more years, Karl Malone will be calling him, lol

by BuffCrunch on Aug 28, 2008 8:15 PM EDT   0 recs

Might be early

to compare him to “House” though….

by Cinga on Aug 28, 2008 8:16 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Stevie Johnson is an animal

http://bills.sportsbloggingnetwork.com/

the nationality i should think

I’m liking Hamdan to that took guts to shake off that hit

Runs good....

hits the hole, but seems to go down easy….

by Cinga on Aug 28, 2008 8:21 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I think he’s trying to avoid mistakes (see D. Wright). Omon knows if he doesn’t fumble, he’s in GREAT shape

keeping 10 OL? is that total with PS players?

http://bills.sportsbloggingnetwork.com/

by norcaliangelsfan on Aug 28, 2008 8:21 PM EDT   0 recs

yeah probably.........

http://bills.sportsbloggingnetwork.com/

by norcaliangelsfan on Aug 28, 2008 8:24 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

maybe, maybe not

but I think he earned his way onto the roster. Right now he is Tackle #3, so he is NEEDED too…

~K

by Kurupt on Aug 28, 2008 8:24 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

they only kept 8 last year

http://bills.sportsbloggingnetwork.com/

by norcaliangelsfan on Aug 28, 2008 8:22 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Will likely do the same again this year

with Peters on the Exempt list. If peters returns, we’ll likely have 9 I’d guess until he is ready

~K

by Kurupt on Aug 28, 2008 8:23 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

concur

I see 9 including Peters

by BuffCrunch on Aug 28, 2008 8:23 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

With The Regular season around the corner...

I’m starting to get a bit nervous about Jason Peters….we’re going to need him.

Im bout ready to say screw that guy too.......

the OL has been doing pretty good without him

by norcaliangelsfan on Aug 28, 2008 8:26 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

i think they will keep more linemen this year

since peters is being a pecker and there are some injuries they will probably have to carry more guys on the line. they may stash some of the young guys on the practice squad

by Polish Lover on Aug 28, 2008 8:25 PM EDT   0 recs
