Bills vs. Lions, NFL preseason Week 4: second half live chat

At halftime in their preseason finale, the Buffalo Bills are tied with the Detroit Lions at Ford Field, 10-10. Ron Brooks returned a deflected interception for the opening score of the game, and after the Lions rattled off 10 straight points, Dan Carpenter kicked a field goal to tie the game up with less than a minute remaining in the half.

These were my notes from the first half of the game:

• Andre Davis offside on opening kickoff
• Davis makes great catch on tipped pass
• Muffed snap on 4th & 2 - Kraig Urbik or Matt Simms?
• A.J. Tarpley blows up a pitch on 3rd & short
• Mario Butler illegally covers long snapper, giving DET first down
• NZI on Stefan Charles; - 3rd & 10 becomes 3rd & 5
• Great hit by Merrill Noel to cause Brooks pick-six
• Ugly DPI on Brooks on next series
• Great open-field tackle by Bacarri Rambo
• Bad deep ball tracking by Davis with space (ball under thrown)
• Simms takes a huge hit, converts 3rd & 8 to Marcus Thigpen
• Iffy holding call on Nick O'Leary
• Second muffed snap (lost) - Urbik snapped without the ball
• Alex Carrington, Stefan Charles, Andre Fluellen having their way with DET backup OL
• Butler burned badly on 65-yard slant TD
• Darryl Johnson beaten badly to give up a sack
• Nice catch in traffic by Dezmin Lewis to convert third down
• Quentin Groves dinged after making massive KR hit
• Tarpley blows up a screen
