Die Hard Bills Fan

The Buffalo Bills dropped their second straight preseason game on Friday. There were plenty of positives to take from this game. J.P. Losman started off the game a little slow but settled in nicely. He threw two picture perfect passes for big gains. The first was a 56-yard completion to Peerless Price that should have been taken in for a score. Peerless was dragged down at the 10-yard line. The Bills had to settle for a field goal after a delay of game penalty pushed them back to the 15. J.P. Losman had a nice scramble on third down and almost made it in to the end zone. Rian Lindell kicked a chip shot in to get the Bills on the board. Down 7-3, Losman hit Lee Evans on a 64-yard touchdown pass to put the Bills ahead 10-7. This was another beautiful pass from Losman and Evans catches almost everything thrown at him. He is truly our best receiver and in my opinion one of the best in the NFL. I hope the Bills sign Evans long term because he is such a phenomenal talent. He ended the day with five catches for 100 yards with a td. Losman finished the first half 9 of 20 for 180 yards with 1 td and 1 int. Roscoe Parrish had a beautiful punt return for a touchdown that was called back due to a holding penalty. Parrish is a very electrifying player. He is so quick and he will have a big role in our success this year. Another positive was the play of running back Fred Jackson. He had four carries for 31 yards and four catches for 80 yards. He was definitely the go to guy for Trent Edwards in the fourth quarter. The Bills should definitely keep him on the active roster this year because he seems like a special player.
There were also many negatives on the night. I know its only preseason but the defense still cannot get off the field after third down. They are letting up to many third down conversions. There were also many missed tackles on Titans qb Vince Young. Hopefully by the start of the season we have most of the problems corrected. Our second and third units gave up too many easy plays to the Titans second and third stringers. I’m a little concerned about the depth we have on defense. Lets hope we can shut down the run when we play Denver on Sept 9th. Terrence McGee got a concussion and will be held out of Thursday’s game against Detroit. Lets get healthy and prepare for the start of the season. Go Bills.

I can’t believe the third preseason game is already here. This Friday the Bills host the Titans. The starters are expected to play into the third quarter. Marshawn Lynch is supposed to get the majority of the carries and I for one cannot wait. I want to see him get at least 15-20 carries and see what he can do. I would also like to see J.P. Losman and Lee Evans hookup on a couple of long balls. Hopefully Peerless Price gets on track and makes some receptions. I think this game is going to have some major implications on certain players. Kevin Everett has to do well and show the coaches he can be a viable option in the passing game. I want to see him excel because I feel he can be a nice threat in the middle of the field. Eric Moulds, now a member of the Titans, will be playing in Buffalo for the first time after being traded from the team in 2006. I always loved Eric Moulds and have many fond memories of his great catches and fabulous TDs. I feel like Moulds could have put up even better numbers if he played his 10 years with us with one quarterback. Moulds in my opinion was that great of a wide receiver that he could have challenged Andre Reed for the team reception record. Well let’s hope the Bills play well and come away with a victory. Lets go Buffalo.
