Seattle Seahawks @ Buffalo Bills

Buffalo Bills (0-0) vs Seattle Seahawks (0-0)
1:00 PM ET, Ralph Wilson Stadium
TV: FOX
Bills Injury Report :: Seahawks Injury Report

This is it, Buffalo Bills fans.  The 2008 NFL regular season is a half-hour from beginning, and the Buffalo Bills are on the field and all set to take on the visiting Seattle Seahawks in each team's season opener.  Playoffs?  The Bills are daring to dream - and predict - and the push for the playoffs starts today in a must-win home opener.

Fortune is on my side this day, as I'll be making the trip up to The Ralph to take this game in live along with 70,000+ more of my Bills brethren.  For the folks who'll be cheering on from the comfort of your own homes (or a friend's home, or a bar, etc.), this open thread is for you.  This is the only spot you need to talk about the game live as it happens.  If you don't have an SB Nation account, create one (it's free) and hammer out a few comments during the game.

Enjoy opening day, folks.  We'll have a full game recap up later on this evening (once I get back from The Ralph), and the DVR is set, so plan on a couple of film sessions this week as well.  Get your game face on, grab your choice adult beverage (if you're of age) and snackage, and park yourselves.  NFL football is back.  GO BILLS!

UPDATE:

Inactives:

Bills:  WR Steve Johnson, CB Reggie Corner, OL Matt Murphy, OL Demetrius Bell, TE Derek Fine, DE Chris Ellis, DT John McCargo, Gibran Hamdan (third quarterback).

Seahawks:  K Brandon Coutu, RB Justin Forsett, G Mansfield Wrotto, T Sean Locklear, WR Deion Branch, WR Bobby Engram, DE Baraka Atkins, Charlie Frye (third quarterback).

Surprised by the McCargo inactive. Thought we had the 4man DT rotation going. Guess we may see Kelsay or Denney get a few plays there, especially in passing situations.

Good to see LeRoy Hill inactive for the Seahawks. He’s a very good LB for them, so that should help run the ball better….

Anyone else nervous?

I love this team so damn much and I have been so excited for the season to start. But I can’t help to be nervous for this game. By all rights, the Bills should win this game. However, the Bills have shown a disturbing propensity to lose games they should win. They really need to get off to a good start.

Oh so nervous

Im real nervous but I’m probably more excited than nervous, Im about to go down to the bar and watch it. Seahawks fans present at the bar watch your back cause its gonna get loud baby. Question, why is chris ellis inactive I was excited to watch him

reporting in from outside the bills bar in DC. So the line is out the door and around the corner with a couple hundred bills fans waiting to get in. Apparently the manager got a little drunk last night and is late! Suspense is killing me!

Awesome TDs, both of them obviously

11 yards rushing surrendered

Now that is fantastic. Stroud only has 1 tackle and 1 assist but who cares? The DTs really seem to be shutting down the interior run lanes. Poz got a running start at Jones late in the half and just crushed him.

A couple on that drive

The catch-fumble and the non-call on the grounding. It looks like Kelsay has been held often

You know something hates you

when all 4 starting WRs are injured before week 1 is even over.

Cannot believe

Simpson is hitting as hard as he is!!!

I like boselli as an announcer

I like that he’s not talking about how it’s over…and that he talks about the lines instead of just the skill guys.

by Ron From NM on Sep 7, 2008 3:35 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah, I agree

It is usually best to not be one of the “good” games. That way you don’t get the “premiere” announcers like Joe Buck or Phil Simms. The supposedly lesser guys are usually much more insightful and nice to listen to.

Pretty much responsible for 21 of our points

So I’m still worried about the rest of the season, but this is a good start.

Because this is a must-win game?

by Zumone on Sep 7, 2008 3:45 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

This is no time

for hinky-dinky fancy bullshit. We need to finish this out and move on.

Ah crap

Jinxed the special teams

by BearsNecessity on Sep 7, 2008 3:43 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

whats going on

I don’t get to watch the game….unless its through espn scoreboard….how does the offense look?

by acarj84 on Sep 7, 2008 3:46 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

quick recap

O-line’s been dominant
Lynch has been juking and jiving
Edwards has been solid

A B+ job.

by BearsNecessity on Sep 7, 2008 3:47 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Good

I would rather have solid….instead of erratic losman. No injuries yet right ?

Man

I’m miffed I missed that fake FG for a TD

by NJBillsfan on Sep 7, 2008 3:54 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

NE survived against KC

KC had the ball at the NE 5 with less than a minute but couldn’t punch it in.

by RabidBuffalo on Sep 7, 2008 3:54 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Jets 20, Miami 14

Dolphins about to get the ball back, under 2 minutes, with no timeouts.

by BearsNecessity on Sep 7, 2008 3:55 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Pennington gets another completion to the 25, 30 seconds left clock running

Ronnie Brown somehow gets out of bounds and stops the clock.
Otherwise the clock would have run all the way down.

by BearsNecessity on Sep 7, 2008 4:00 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Jets win

Idiotic fade pass by Pennington gets intercepted; Offensive pass interference and the play stands

What a great way

to start the season!

O could be better but it was without Jason Peters, so they will improve.

LOVING IT

That game was great to watch. Stroud is by far the biggest difference to this team bar none. And the way he impacts the ENTIRE defense is remarkable. If this guy stays healthy it is going to be a great year for this defense and this team

Good game guys.

Stroud looks like a difference maker.
