I don’t know if the rookies were making contributions. But you can’t turn rookies into seasoned veterans unless you put them in the game. Sketchy team performance is the price you pay for future excellence. Fans should understand that.

    @T. Dobbs apparently he didn’t

    Bullzeyez

    Having a different take on the matter doesn’t make you right.

    Eric. DaMAJ

    @T. Dobbs What I’m saying is it really doesn’t matter if they made contributions or not. If you want rookies to get better you put them in the game and suffer the consequences because the future payoff is worth it for you and for them.

    Eric. DaMAJ

    @BullzeyezSo? Having a different take on my take doesn’t make you right either. The tone of the interview was McDermott defending his rookies and his choices putting them in. My take is just that he doesn’t have to.

    Bullzeyez

    @Eric. DaMAJ Sorry but you have no clue what you are talking about. Preseason games are not for training or allowing them to learn and get better, training camp is over. You put the rookies in to play so you can evaluate if they make the roster. Them making contributions is the key here, in doing so they have a better chance for the roster. Basically , you make key plays, you are ready for the regular season. If not, as rookie, you have the whole season to learn and get better.

Joel Canfield

Well done Coach !

John Yaudes

I think this was the best rookie gameplay across the board I’ve ever seen in a first preseason game. hope we see more of this the next 2 games. bad thing is I don’t see a way forward for all staying in buffalo. I do see some future sniping happening from other teams come last cut down. GO BILLS!!!!

iamrichrocker

Dorsey called a great game..and not many preseason games are watched all the way through to the end..bet this one was watched fully by many..entertaining..Barkley was great btw..

John Maloney

This may be the toughest 53 to get on that I can recall. Go Bills

    Jjewallen

    Couple wr loss they job

    Mike.A

    What’s crazy is we’ve said this every year for like the past 3. Just shows how well we’ve drafted and how strong the team has been

BuffaloBuilder

Hope we keep Arazia. That was AMAZING.

    Alex Kolarczyk

    We’re definitely keeping Araiza. We drafted him to be our long-term punter.

    Justin Bell

    As was said on the broadcast there’s your punter after an 82 yard punt

    Raymond Grimley

    He’s going nowhere, that’s our punter !!

Buffalo Beatle

super bowl bills rn

Prentis Simpson

Specter will make the team

    John Maloney

    I hope so too

TheDavidsot

You can tell he’s out the door soon to get 18 in lol

    Matt716

    Can you put that in terms I can understand?

Steven Bryant

👏🏾👏🏾 ‘GO BILLS..💪🏾

Colts were a great team to start pre-season game-play with. Just perfect. Made for a fun game to watch, especially knowing they were playing their #1’s on offense save Jonathan Taylor.

intimidatortj

Christian Benford, Blackshear, Quintin Morris, Shakir, Spector and Punt God all showed well. Great job scouts!

    zType

    Hodgins & Kaiir also looked good.

Chris Hanes

McDermott so graceful when the reporter asked him if WANTED a TD at the end.

NEW EMPIRE NETWORKS

RB Blackshear…K Elam…..Spector ect. was going in.

stan nelson

I get the feeling that he is going to really hold back Dorsey.

    Michael Songin

    You don’t put any plays on film in the preseason.

    stan nelson

    @Michael Songin right I get that and it so true. But when things are not going great he seems to always talk about situational awareness. Red flag for me. Aka conservative old school play not to lose. I hope Dorsey is a strong enough to battle that. Coach says run run pass. Dorsey needs to pass pass pass pass make him happy and run the ball over the guard for a td. Will he do it? Can’t wait for the real season to start to see. Preseason is pointless. Have a great day!

Troy Gabrielson

I never thought I have a coach I respected and had 100% trust in since Marv Levy. I’m so happy your our coach. Thank you Coach

Jeffrey sid

I think they hit on all 7 picks great job from our scouts and our team for finding the right guys even in the late rounds

Daniel Abbate

No discipline that’s on you MCD like I keep saying the weak link of this team is MCD He is just a poor coach. if it wasn’t for the offence the bills would be a 500 team. it’s going to be a long season I fear Bills play to many good teams MCD can’t beat good teams. wish we had Brian Daboll as our head coach

    Matt716

    Are you kidding me?? Really?? Like I see your not a troll but how many coaches that were GREAT OC & DC end up getting fired after 2 years and come back like Patricia from new England McDermott in combination with Beane complement each other greatly and if anything discipline is McDermott’s most stressed point he wants humble disciplined not having to hire these players are doing the right thing in off season. The players WANT to win for the guy he has created a loose enough culture where it’s very successful but yet not resented by players. The pegulas built signage of Mcd’s one line quotes all over the building for a reason because he wants everyone to know he WANTS TO WIN not just have a job it’s not a popularity contest he picks his coaches those coaches have developed many players who otherwise might have not even got a chance on other teams that are at top tier levels… Just look at diggs before Buffalo and after before no PB no AP no captain since coming all 3 he’s a retested leader who’s earned the respect of the LEAGUE not just the team… Did Rex Ryan do anything with anyone no… Marv Levy was the same way as mcd ear your spot every year you have to nothing is guaranteed bloated egos get popped fast

    THEREALJOSHALLEN

    Matt well said my Man U see the bigger picture 💪🏼💪🏼💯💯 these guys are building a dynasty right in front of our eyes..these guys are top notch in there jobs n do very well at there job…the bills are now a team where stars wanna come..we are the team other teams don’t wanna play 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️ unless u dropping 40 burgers u ain’t going toe to toe with this team!! Go bills

    Matt716

    @THEREALJOSHALLEN one other team start to mimic your strategic movements from your team and they start poaching your coaching staff then you know you’re doing something right when you can take your scouting team who could recognize somebody that might have been a nobody and turn them into a star Gabriel Davis I mean tear on Johnson got hit right in the face with a ball in the combine and he is if not one of or the best nickel cornerbacks in the league so whatever McDermott’s doing he’s doing it very well because I don’t even remember during the bills 4 years Super bowl run that they were the favorites to win the Super bowl or favorites to get there any of the years even though they did get there so I don’t know about the Rams game it might be tough due to the fact that tredavius white is a question mark but I don’t see many people out competing our offense and I think sauce Gardner for purposes of bragging rights might just want to go one-on-one man to man no double coverage against so he can be taught what getting schooled in the NFL feels like for his first quote touchdown scored against him

    Entitled fans who think they know it all are a dime a dozen these days. Thank God for McBeane.

apb1969

I know it’s only preseason; but, I say to you again – TAKE EVERY FIELD GOAL – because, if you had taken the field goal in the first quarter, the win would have been far more secured and you wouldn’t have had to work so hard in the second half – AS USUAL. Field goals will get us to the superbowl!

    Stosh 64

    You gotta love know it all fans…

    apb1969

    @Stosh 64 you don’t have to be a know-it-all to figure out what the scores distance could have been by playing it smarter rather than keeping the scores too close by attempting hot dog moves.
