Losman, McGahee Shine: The Bills were very impressive in their first preseason game defeating the Broncos 16-6. As we reported in our halftime report, Willis McGahee stole the show with his first NFL touchdown. He continued in the second half with some hard, inside runs as he was the game's leading rusher with 58 yards on 13 carries and a nine yard reception. J.P. Losman also shined in the win, albeit against the third string defense of the Browns. He was on the field for two series, and had two long field goal drives. His first drive in the NFL went for 16 plays and 82 yards. His second ran the clock down late in the game and went for 43 yards on 7 carries. He got most of those yards himself with a nice 26 yard bootleg. His first play in fact was a run as he was the team's second leading rusher with 37 yards on 3 carries. He was also perfect in the air as he completed all five of his passes for 55 yards. The offense stood to the motto of run, run, run, as they ran the ball 38 times in 63 plays. The backup defenders shut the Broncos out in the second half and kept them out of the end zone all day. Tomorrow, we will have much more on the win, with a look at who helped themselves and who hurt themselves in the win.

Brown Looks Good: Travis Brown has had a good training camp so far, and it showed on the field during the 2nd quarter of tonight's preseason game against Denver. Following a good kickoff return by Josh Reed, Brown drove the Bills down the field mixing in some hard running yards by Willis McGahee including his one yard touchdown run behind starting left guard Mike Pucillo. As a whole, the 2nd unit offense looked better than the first unit tonight.

First Teams Play To Draw: Both sides played their starters for roughly a quarter and they left the field with a 3-3 tie. The Bills first defense looked as solid as they did last year but added a new element, the turnover. They forced two interceptions, one by Terrence McGee and one by Ryan Denney who was 15 yards downfield on a zone blitz. The Bills blitzed a lot and they had sacks in the first half by Aaron Schobel and Chris Kelsay.

1st Offense Same Old Tricks On offense, the first unit sputtered after the first series interception. They had a penalty that forced them into third and long and then Drew Bledsoe threw one up for grabs to Eric Moulds that was picked off. He did lead them to a field goal drive on his last series following another Broncos turnover. Bledsoe was 4 for 6 for 27 yards and the pick. Josh Reed caught a nice 15 yard pass on the drive to setup the 31 yard field goal by Rian Lindell that hugged the right upright.

Bills Release Gibson: Hours before the opening preseason game the Bills made a roster move to trim the roster down to 84 players. Oliver Gibson was released by the team. He came over as an unrestricted free agent who played for the Bengals and Steelers in his long career.

Starters To See Limited Action: The fans, media, coaches, and players have anxiously been waiting for this day. The Bills will suit it up for their first preseason game tonight at 7pm on the NFL Network. Coach Mularkey plans on talking to Bronocs coach Mike Shanahan about matchups so that nobody will be outmatched and starters will play against starters. Mularkey expects the first unit offense to be on the field roughly 12 plays. It will be the first real action for the rookies and for Willis McGahee. J.P. Losman will be the third quarterback off the bench and will likely play most of the second half against the Broncos backup players.
