Bills-Saints In-Game Thread

[Walter]

Will be having another one of these tonight.

This game is on at 8:00 on CBS.

Saints are favored by 6.5. The total is 36.

I kind of like the Bills and the Under.

Other games tonight:
Falcons at Jets
Patriots at Buccaneers
Rams at Vikings

[bills_red]

GO BILLS!

If we get killed 100-0 I don't give a ****. Why? It the PRE-Season.

[Walter]

Haha, wouldn't you want to see Losman and company play well though?

[bills_red]

Haha, wouldn't you want to see Losman and company play well though?

Sure but it's still the PRE-season. Were you put new things into the playbook etc etc. Sure I would like to see Losman throw for 300 yards an 2 TD's but what does it mean? Not one thing.

[Walter]

Well, Losman's not going to play enough to do that, but I mean, if Losman plays poorly, wouldn't you be concerned?

[Matt McGuire]

I like the Bills as well on the spread. I like the Bucs in an upset, bet the moneyline on that game!

[giantsfanmike]

I am actually watching Falcons v Jets since thats the live game here in the UK.

[Walter]

Thomas Jones has 23 yards on six carries. Mike, how does Harrington look?

[giantsfanmike]

Hes looked not bad. Hit Roddy White perfectly on the first couple of plays.

His O-Line has held up well so far as well. Jets just completed a 10 play complete running drive if I heard the commentator correctly...

[Walter]

LOL The Jets have yet to throw a pass.

[giantsfanmike]

Wow great play there. Harrington finding Joe Horn down field 29 yard pass.

[Walter]

I think it was 22 yards, wasn't it?

Can't wait to watch this game at midnight on the NFL Network.

[giantsfanmike]

Another great play by Harrington, perfectly picking out TE Dwayne Blakley overhead downfield.

Erm sure the commentator said 29 yards...?

[giantsfanmike]

TD Norwood. 10 yards.

[Walter]

Harrington also hit Blakley for 37 yards. The Falcons will be a team to play on the first 4-5 weeks of the season.

Touchdown not good for the Under. Hopefully they slow down once Harrington goes away.

[giantsfanmike]

I am finding myself rooting for Joey right now. Except week 6 when the Giants come calling.;)

[Walter]

That could be the week Harrington blows up. Remember, Harrington does the same exact thing every year. He starts hot, everyone starts thinking that he's finally come around and then he blows up. Every single season, it's the same. Remember the Thanksgiving game? He was horrible the following couple of weeks, and eventually was benched.

[Walter]

Why is Thomas Jones still in there? They know what he can do. He doesn't need a lot of work in Preseason Week 1.

[Walter]

Touchdown Thomas Jones, who luckily isn't hurt yet, 7-7.

[giantsfanmike]

Lol, good point. The Giants despite their shoddy pass defense, have a habit of bringing QBs who have previously been average back down to earth a bit after a series of solid performances. People expected Jeff Garcia and Tony Romo to run wild on us and it didn't happen.....

[Matt McGuire]

Any of these games nationally televised am I am missing them?

Bills-Saints is on FOX in my area, that is pretty much it. I really look forward to seeing John McCargo for some reason. I want to see why they spent a first rounder on him. That was the 2nd biggest round 1 shocker in the past 3 years imo. I mean no one invisioned McCargo as a first rounder, much less mid-2nd round.

[Walter]

I'm following these games here...

I heard McCargo is out for this season as well.

[Walter]

I'm surprised Chris Redman, and not D.J. Shockley is in right now.

[Matt McGuire]

I'm surprised D.J. Shockley is still on an NFL roster.

[giantsfanmike]

I live in the UK and this is a live feed from CBS on one of the sports channels here...

[Walter]

Where in the UK do you live?

[giantsfanmike]

Where in the UK do you live?
Glasgow, Scotland.

[Walter]

Jets still haven't thrown a pass 7:44 into the 2Q

[Matt McGuire]

How is Kellen Clemens looking?

[giantsfanmike]

How is Kellen Clemens looking?
He was in on the TD drive. Underthrew Brad Smith on a pass, but the play got overturned for pass interference on Smith by Chris Houston.

Brad Smith didn't look great in there as well.

Roddy White after looking promising drops a perfect throw...

[giantsfanmike]

Clemens just threw a deep ball to McCareins, was a terrible pass as well.

[Walter]

Saints looking much better than they did in the HOF game.

[Matt McGuire]

I was shocked in last year's draft to see the Saints not draft a TE. Eric Johnson has good hands and is a good route runner, but he lacks speed. They shoulda taken Ben Patrick in the 5th or 6th round.

[Walter]

Yeah, I agree, and Johnson's really injury-prone.

[Walter]

Wow, FG blocked. Still 0-0.

[Walter]

Anthony Thomas? I don't want to see this garbage, get Lynch in there!

[Walter]

Damn, nice scramble by Losman to get the first down.

[Walter]

Lee Evans misses a semi-easy first down two downs after Losman's pass was batted down. Not a convincing start for Buffalo's offense.

[Walter]

New Orleans putting on a clinic on offense.

[Walter]

Drew Brees is 11-of-12 for 110 yards so far. Bush making the Texans look silly. Devery Henderson and Eric Johnson looking effective in this offense.

[Walter]

LOL NFL.com has Matt Cassel at 4-7, -978 yards... That's about negative-250 yards per completion.

[Walter]

Coffin corner punt, I love it.

[Matt McGuire]

Just read a few of the Scouting Reports of Scouts Inc. on ESPN.com Insider. Pretty funny, I think Todd McShay stole some words from my scouting profiles.

I need to go back and review some film tonight to see what I am missing as a scout.

[giantsfanmike]

TD catch by Chansi Stuckey in coverage. I really liked Stuckey and I think he can be a steal for this team.

[Walter]

Agree, Stuckey should be a good player.

Saints are on fire. They look incredibly sharp.

[Walter]

Buffalo's defense looks silly.

[Walter]

Huge interception by Jabari Greer. Tyler Palko looked solid all drive, but I'm not sure that one was his fault. It looked like the NO receiver gave up.

[Walter]

That WR was Terrance Copper.

[giantsfanmike]

Another rookie reciever I like, Laurent Robinson has been good tonight as well.

[Walter]

Speaking of young WRs, Roscoe Parrish is beating Jason David on every down.

[giantsfanmike]

The Saints got totally owned against the Steelers in the secondary. McKenzie and Thomas weren't any better...

In saying that I thought they done the right thing replacing Joe Horn with Meachem.

[Walter]

Yeah, looks like the Saints won't be stopping the pass again this season.

[Walter]

What are Will Smith and Charles Grant still doing on the field? What are they trouble to accomplish against Craig Nall and Shaud Williams?

[giantsfanmike]

LOL. Sean Ryan no corner anywhere near him in the endzone.

[Walter]

Nall just made one of the worst passes I've ever seen. He's so lucky it wasn't picked off and taken back for six.

[Walter]

Wow, and another one... This Nall guy is pretty terrible.

[Walter]

Palko's got a gun, he looks like a potential starter in the future.

[giantsfanmike]

Wow, and another one... This Nall guy is pretty terrible.
I saw him play for the Claymores a couple of times he was great and a really nice guy. Surprisingly as well he put up decent stats in '04 with the Pack.

[Walter]

...But he needs to work on his clock management. That'll come with experience.

[Walter]

Well, Nall just threw one of the two worst passes I've ever seen.

[giantsfanmike]

Always good to see another lefty do well, IMO!

[Walter]

Halftime in New Orleans, 3-3. The under looks good. Bills +6.5 still questionable.

Jets game has been good.

Plenty of passing since Thomas Jones left the game.

[Walter]

Can't wait to see it tonight. It'll be on the NFL Network at midnight.

[Walter]

The Saints aren't giving anything to Marshawn Lynch.

[giantsfanmike]

The Saints aren't giving anything to Marshawn Lynch.
I have a feeling Lynch won't match up to the big expectations on him this season. The Bills have a hellish schedule.

Walter, do you have game pass?

[Walter]

Nah, I follow the games on the computer/regular TV and then watch the recaps on NFL Network (Replay) and NFL Primetime.

[Walter]

Palko just threw a pick on an underthrown ball. Not sure what he was thinking there.

[Walter]

Touchdown, Fred Jackson on a really nice run. Broke a tackle at the LOS and ran 17 yds.

10-3 Bills

[Walter]

Canada beat Mexico in the Flag Football Championship. Pretty embarrassing... what happened to the U.S.?

[Walter]

Touchdown, Robert Meachem from Tyler Palko. Great catch as he had to get both of his feet down. Awesome throw as well.

[Walter]

10-10 Bills.

[Walter]

Is it just me, or does J.P. Losman look like Adam Sandler?

[giantsfanmike]

Unfortunetly the only highlights I'll get to see is on Total Access on Sunday (on a days delay).

Anyway its 3.30am and its time to hit the hay!

[Walter]

Good night man, glad you posted in here tonight.

[Walter]

Fred Jackson looks pretty good as a backup RB. Nice combo of power and speed.

[Walter]

54-yard field goal by Rian Lindell... glad I drafted him in one of my fantasy leagues.

13-10 Bills

[Walter]

Final score, 13-10.

[Jm4Steelers]

Is it just me, or does J.P. Losman look like Adam Sandler?

This is exactly what I thought! I think it is the way he talks.

[Walter]

All he needs is a guitar.

[bills_red]

M.Lynch played in like 5 plays so he had no chance to do anything. Jabari played good, 2 INT's.

"Palko looks like a 10 year yet" LOL those black guys last night. lol

[SanchezMVP2009]

Bills win.:(:(:(:(
