[Andy Hicks]

This thread will be pinned once we're under way.

If you see something happening, please describe the play instead of eg "WOW".

Please describe more of what you see, things that will help other fantasy owners eg Player X is seeing loads of targets, Player Y is running the ball with authority today etc

Remember, not all of us are watching your game.

Crazy, but this seems like an extremely important game for both teams.

Unfortunately, I just don't think the Bills will be able to contain Philly's high powered offense, especially since George Edwards seems to be allergic to the blitz. And Philly's secondary isn't nearly as bad as New England's so a huge comeback is a lot less likely IMO.

The Bills need to stop the big play early and establish smash mouth running with F-Jax.

WTF. Didn't the game sell out? I'm in central NY and I'm getting the ### #### Steelers-Titans game instead.

Yes, game was sold out before the season started.I heard last night from another friend that the Ithaca market wasn't getting the game. I don't know why, either.Regardless, I have a very uneasy feeling about this one. Any win would be a HUGE boost for the Bills....but I could just as easily envision a blowout loss that saps all of the remaining momentum the Bills had left after the 3-0 start. :nervous:

 

[dharmapunk]

Tasker, you around? Is the game on in Buffalo or did they black it out?

I might have to head to a bar.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

this game is on Fox.

Steelers/Titans is on CBS.

Looks like I'm off for some wings and beer.

 

[dharmapunk]

this game is on Fox.Steelers/Titans is on CBS.

FOX has the Giants game for me. :( Oh well. A dozen hot wings and a Guinness sounds pretty good anyway.Hasta.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Nice contain and tackle by Wilson. McKelvin is playing WAY too far off the line. You need to stick DeSean at the line.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Horrible spot. He was short by a yard. Bills getting screwed already.

 

[renesauz]

WOW what a generous spot.....easy challenge

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

good challenge, Chan.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Come on D-line. Stuff this.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

pretty easy 4th down conversion there for Avant on Reggie Corner.

Bills with the INT! Reggie Corner with a diving catch after the tip. This defense creates a lot of turnovers at least.

 

[renesauz]

Lucky

 

[Steve Tasker]

Reggie Corner! Guy wasn't even on the team 3 weeks ago.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Yuck. Come on. Buffalo should have known that was coming. Philly isn't running there.

Woohooo! And then they make up for it by getting pressure and the turnover!

Gotta grind it on the ground and get a TD early now.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Nice job by Chris Hairston getting out there to somewhat seal the edge for Fred Jackson on that play. Going to be very interesting to see how the Eagles attack him today.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Good gosh, Fred Jackson may rush for 300 yards today.

 

[Amused to Death]

Good gosh, Fred Jackson may rush for 300 yards today.

Nah, Andy and Juan said they are going to fix the run defense.

 

[Amused to Death]

1st quarter TO...guess the defense needed to wipe the grass stains off their butts.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Good gosh, Fred Jackson may rush for 300 yards today.

Nah, Andy and Juan said they are going to fix the run defense.

Lol. Yeah, right after they find more balance and run the ball more.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Wow. The Eagles really can't tackle.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Should a be a count on how many missed tackles the Eagles have per game.

3 on the last play

 

[renesauz]

Eagles couldn't tackle my grandmother

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

 

[Amused to Death]

Way to man-up defense. I think the Eagles RZ defense has now given up 9 TDs on 11 opps.

 

[GroveDiesel]

The Bills needed that badly. Now they really need to guard against the quick big play from the Eagles.

 

[need2know]

eagles def = :X

heads are gonna roll after this one. c ya castillo

 

[Amused to Death]

Eagles couldn't tackle my grandmother

Have faith...Andy and Juan said they're going to fix that. We trust them, right?

 

[GroveDiesel]

Way to man-up defense. I think the Eagles RZ defense has now given up 9 TDs on 11 opps.

In their defense, Buffalo has the #1 redzone offense in the league.

 

[Bad_Mo]

Mad man love for FJax.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

how long until the Eagles make a change at defensive coordinator?

 

[GroveDiesel]

Fantastic vision and cut by Jackson on that TD.

 

[Steve Tasker]

I really like that shift by the Eagles D on that TD run. The DE sliding inside had to have confused the Bills....Chandler and Hairston doubled up on him, leaving the safety completely unblocked. Well designed.

 

[Amused to Death]

how long until the Eagles make a change at defensive coordinator?

That would take AR admitting a mistake. End of the season would be my guess.

 

[GroveDiesel]

how long until the Eagles make a change at defensive coordinator?

Who can they even replace Castillo with right now though?That was an awesome tackle by Byrd on that end around. He's been good in run support.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Oh, come on guys. Barnett should have had a sack there.

 

[GroveDiesel]

That Buffalo turf still a footing problem somewhat it seems. No complaint here when McCoy falls.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

a blitz on 3rd down results in another turnover.

 

[renesauz]

%#%$ VIck...when they rush 7 you can't hold the ball that long

 

[Steve Tasker]

The Bills have blitzed Vick more on these first two series than they blitzed Andy Dalton the entire game last week.

Vick hit from behind, throws a bit of a duck and George Wilson comes up with the INT. The Senator has had one hell of a first 10 minutes.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Lol.

Loving the stunts and blitzes right now. They're getting tons of guys in the backfield.

Also, re: the turf, the Bills practiced on the turf earlier in the week specifically to get more confortable on it. Great idea.

 

[jojoh07]

time to call it as is

eagles are flat out awful football team

 

[eakfootball]

George Wilson is an animal. Top fantasy S right now.

 

[renesauz]

I really like that shift by the Eagles D on that TD run. The DE sliding inside had to have confused the Bills....Chandler and Hairston doubled up on him, leaving the safety completely unblocked. Well designed.

Yeah...but then you're counting on the rookie safety tackling Jackson in the open field....good luck there.

 

[Osaurus]

1-4

 

[GroveDiesel]

a blitz on 3rd down results in another turnover.

Yeah, who would have thought that blitzing can be a good thing for your defense and help your secondary out?

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Arthur Moats needs more playing time. No idea why they thought moving him to ILB this preseason was a good idea. He was their best pass rusher last year.
