Gameplan vs Bills:Vanilla or Butter Pecan?

30gut · 08-09-2012, 02:39 PM

I expect traditional Shanahan stretch-zone boot/swap with a few 'new' formations thrown in there on favorable down and distance like 2nd down and less then 7 yards.

The 'new' stuff: pistol formation designed (non-zone read) RB inside/outside zone, traditional shotgun formation (non-zone read) designed RB inside/outside zone.

I hate to bring this up, but every year the first preseason game some big name starter gets hurt...anyone want to guess who that guy may be?

Is NFL.com still going to do that thing where you can stream preseason games live for like $20. The NFL needs my money.

Your memory serves you well; It is $19.99. On a side note, if you are considered "in market" or intend to watch a nationally televised game, be aware that blackouts do apply, and you can't watch anything until after the game is over. Learned that the hard way when I tried to watch the HOF game on Sunday...

If you don't live in the Buffalo or DC area like me, the NFL Network is doing live lookins tonight starting at 7:30pm Est. Also the NFL Network is rebroadcasting the game tomorrow afternoon at 4pm-7pm Est.

I'll be recording the game tomorrow to watch when I get home from work and probably just tuning in on my laptop while watching the NFL Network to at least get the play by plays from the "Game Center" on NFL.COM.

How much does NFL. Com charge?

Jeez, I hope we look good tonight.
I've been shooting my mouth off at work about RGIII all day.

Shame the Lions have that 2-game win streak against us. Must be rough to be you in Michigan.

They have little to brag about, so that's probably huge to them.

If the playoffs are the promised land, sure. But no way they hold a candle to Green Bay, New York Giants, or even the 49ers. Sure they are good, but Id take almost any team in the NFCE except the cowbitches over them this year.

If literally 1/4 of their roster hadn't had trouble with the police in the last year...maybe they could make a nice run.

I think we'll see RG3 throw mostly high % passes. Nothing crazy or anything that will expose him to a pass rush.
