Hearing Dayo's name quite a bit.  2 good, one bad.

No the other time wasn't Dayo. Is was the guy from Vikings, similar names. Even local announcers said he made a mistake confusing them.

[JlynRN]

We do look pretty rusty on offense, hoping it's just 1st game rustiness. Definitely need to keep an eye out on offense tho.

Ballard and Reich cannot love this group of WRs. Pierce is rookie but there is no excuse for the rest of them.

Pittman looks good after the catch but we don't have great route runners. Our offense goes as JT goes this season. Hopefully Ryan can convert more 3rd downs than Wentz and we should be ok.

[DEColtsLover36]

Really hoping they pull it together for more solid play on both sides of the ball. Let’s put the 1st quarter jitters behind us please!

Y’all are something else. Didn’t know the bills roster was such crap until I showed up here

I don't think he is taking the check down by choice. I think they r not getting separation.  

Right.....a check down is the person you throw to when nobody else is open downfield.... He who shall not be named would have heaved the ball into triple coverage trying to make a play out of nothing. I'll take Ryan getting 3 or 4 yards instead of an INT.

[Happy2BeHere]

Matt Ryan still playing yeah!!

[Nickster]

Pryor ain’t good enough boys.

[Solid84]

Yikes. Boo boo by Pryor. 

[Mr.Debonair]

Yikes 

[skerfalcon8710]

There you go pierce

I think u missed my point. Yea he is taking the check down.....great.  That is concerning for me   cause once again it leaves me to believe our wrs cannot separate or get open. 1st game....yes.  

[bestQBever]

Guys I will take that fall down sack over Wentz trying to make a play and breaking 2 ankles on one play

Go for it again

[skerfalcon8710]

Nice little screen, needed one more block 

[Happy2BeHere]

Offense has not looked good at all…

[bestQBever]

Training camp stories of offense struggling showing its face. Luckily we have a month to fix it.

They haven’t played any starters man.

The Bills run and undersized D front. Thr vaunted Cokts Oline should own them. They play a vanilla cover D. It's not complicated.  The O so far looks like trash. Absolutely no explosion 

[richard pallo]

Hope Ryan stays in.  This offense needs a lot reps.

[Mr.Debonair]

We usually suck in the Preseason anyway so maybe this is just more of the same and we will flip the switch Week 1

Maybe Coutee needs to get a shot.  Seem to remember him being a deep threat with Texans.

[#12.]

Until the pass game gets in sync, I'm riding Taylor.

[Nickster]

Loved that play action ball handling by Ryan.  Good as advertised.  Froze the pass rush, had all day.

[Catloaf]

Same offense different year/QB.  Receivers just cannot get open.  We need a star WR or a better offensive scheme.  This team is JT or bust if this keeps up, but it is only the first preseason game and they typically use a simple playbook so many it will be ok.

Nice tackle Cross

In the days of Manning preseason was never a concern…the team stunk it up and lost more than they won and in the regular season they always rolled…but those days are long gone…not a good look for this offense and team so far

[Valpo2004]

Nick Cross may be a draft steal.

That's on Ballard, but  I  guess u can all blame Reich for having 5 different qbs and no recievers to speak of the last 5 years.

Again, didn’t know the Bills were a bad team as a whole. 

[colts89]

the WR's are struggling. That isn't a good sign.

 

I know this is just based on watching one quarter of preseason ball but I do feel that this offense is going to go as far as Taylor takes them for the most part. Ryan most likely is going to play ala Rivers two years ago which isn't bad at all, but it isn't going to be insanely better than Wentz last year either, probably just more consistent.

 

Reich and Ballard better hope the young receivers step up this season by the way they were talking so highly about them. If not, that's another notch against them.

[w87r]

Positive.

 

Nick Cross looks good.

 

Negative

 

Faycson hurt.

No seperation/drops from WEs.

Touché lol 

[skerfalcon8710]

NICE D

[Happy2BeHere]

Yea forced fumble another turnover for the defense?

[Boss7894]

Idk if they are out or not Reich seems to be looking for a td by the first team.

Well it’s the same pattern as camp.

So I shouldn't be excited to see a QB take the check downs, which our prior QB never seemed willing to do, because of the reason he's needing to take the check downs, which is also the reason check downs exist?
