So...Cam and KB scored against their 1's?

[Silent Majority]

 

 

Q: Were you surprised Cam Newton played into the second quarter? Is that why you left your first string defense in?

A: No, the D-line wanted it quite honestly.

(phone rings)

Nobody even heard that.

But the D-line… the D-line wanted another…wanted some more snaps. I think that is part of the conditioning more than anything else. Now unfortunately we got more than we wanted because they ended up driving down there and scoring a touchdown. I thought it was good competing against him. Obviously he is a big time quarterback. I don’t think he was happy with his performance up until that point.

He and the O were dreadful for the first two series. Glad they stayed in and found the end zone.

Yeah, the bills commentator wanted to blame that TD drive on the second string but he corrected himself. 

And their TD drive was against our second string

Okay, I missed his correction. I was under the impression it was against the second unit. It was alluded to in someone else's post, that when paired against BUF's 1's they were anemic. When it was in fact the 1's they scored on. Makes sense now.

Yeah that guy was terrible.  Aside from them being complete homers, dude was just blatantly wrong and fuged up over and over.

Mentioned Stewart was starting and even called his name on some plays despite him not playing a snap.

"Well they finally got in a rhythm against our 2nd team defense... oh wait, that's still the 1's out there... huh."

On an obvious reception by Boykin without a defender near him "INTERCEPTION!!!  Oh, got a bit ahead of myself"

"TOUCHDOWN!!!  Oh wait, got a bit ahead of myself again..."

[uncfan888]

Yeah, I am rewatching the game on nfl network right now and these guys are pretty terrible haha

[Moorgan]

And they had no idea that all scores are reviewed. They get paid for this?

[uncfan888]

Side note..  That rookie corner for buffalo got absolutely abused last night

Preseason comentators are generally not full time announcers. Its a mishmash of local guys typically.

If Cam makes that perfectly thrown ball this season and KB is allowed that subtle arm extension, then no number one is going to stop that. It will be touchdowns galore.

It's true. That's indefensible. And we have two guys that can make that play. Funchess on one side, KB on the other... Good luck

I was dying when he yelled "interception!!!!" at the top of his lungs.

Yea, in that same other thread a few posts down it was pointed out that our first score was indeed vs their 1's.  And their score vs our 2nd team defense was their 2nd team offense.  Over all it was a pretty even match.

[Woodie]

I don't think the offense was dreadful on those first two drives.  Cam missed a couple of throws when he had a good pocket that would have completely changed the complexion of our offense's performance.  First, he missed a wide open KB, then an open Cotchery that would have each been first downs, and he also missed a TD to Brown.  Any one of those would have had a big effect on how we looked.  Of course, our run game was dreadful, but if Cam had hit a couple of those misses, I'm sure it would have opened up the defense a bit.  Just goes to show how impactful one or two plays can be.
