Week 2 Preseason Friday Games

Friday night saw another set of 4 games of action. A few scares took place as well during the games too.

The Buffalo Bills beat the Minnesota Vikings 20-16. Kevin Kolb started things off with the Bills this week and didn't play very well. EJ Manuel looked a lot better. On the first drive the EJ piloted resulted in a TD but the thing that was most impressive was he hit his fourth target after surveying the red zone. Christian Ponder looked horrible. Then again Ponder make look better when AP is the running back and not Toby Gehart. Then again Matt Cassell didn't look much better when he got into the game.

San Fransico 49ers beat the Kansas City Chiefs 15-13. Alex Smith did play the entire first half and looked pretty good. Chiefs didn't have Jamaal Charles - and it doesn't sound like he will play the rest of the preseason either - while Kap only played 3 plays. San Fran's D did get some pressure on Smith as well. Gore ripped off a 50 plus run against the Chiefs first team D.

New England Patriots beat the Tampa Buccaneers 25-21. The big question going into the game was how Tom Brady would react after banging his knee in practice early in the week. Well it didn't take long as Brady and Amendola show came out from the get go. Doug Martin got stung while blocking but things will be okay going forward. Mike Glennon clearly looked better than Josh Freeman in this game. It could be an issue going forward. Tiebow - not that anyone thought it to be - definitely won't be challenging Mallett for the second string position.

New Orleans Saints won 28-20 over the Oakland Raiders. Drew Brees looked great and found a new target in Nick Toon. Flynn didn't look at all comfortable and it didn't help that Valdheer is out either. Going to be a long season for the Raiders. McFadden struggled as well to get through the holes opened up.
