Die Hard Bills Fan

Hello Bills fans. It was announced today that Anthony Thomas has a torn calf muscle and is out indefinitely. Does this mean we get to see Fred Jackson as our starting tailback? I think so Bills fans. Jackson was impressive in the preseason and has looked good in limited time the last two weeks. He converted a big fourth down last week with his ability to break tackles and keep the legs driving. His running style kind of reminds me of Marshawn Lynch. Both backs are not big but break tackles and fight for every last inch. If Jackson does get the start, look for Trent Edwards to get him the ball in the passing game to move the chains. I think Jackson is going to do a great job but would still love to have Lynch out there. A-Train has been a great blocker for us this season and I think the Bills should use him as a fullback in the future. Rookie Dwayne Wright will get some carries but Jackson will have the full workload. Good luck Fred. Lets Go Bills.

Hello Bills fans. This is going to be an extremely tough game this week. The Bills travel to Washington to take on the Redskins. As everyone knows, the Skins lost one of their players this week. Sean Taylor was shot at his home and died a day later. The Skins are going to be playing this game with heavy hearts. My thoughts and prayers go out to Taylor’s family, friends and teammates. I know the Redskins are going to play their absolute hardest to get this win for Sean. It will definitely be an emotional day and we will have to wait and see how the Bills respond to this. I feel for Trent Edwards because this is a tough situation to be in. It’s his first start in four weeks, it’s on the road and the opponent wants to desperately win for their teammate. I’m excited to see Trent back in there and want to see how the rookie responds to the challenge. Go Bills.

Hello Bills fans. Many players missed practice today most notably Chris Kelsay and Anthony Thomas. Kelsay injured his ankle last week and was seen at practice with a boot on. Thomas strained his calf and Coach Jauron said he is not optimistic that A-Train will play. Marshawn Lynch is doing better but will most likely be kept out for the third consecutive week. The Bills do not want to rush him back because a high ankle sprain needs time to recover. I hope Lynch comes back next week because our offense has really sputtered without him. It will hurt not having Kelsay out there. He is an important part of our defensive end rotation. Ryan Denney was also banged up last week but should be able to play. He took a blow to the same foot he broke in the preseason. If Denney cannot go, we will be severely short handed at defensive end. Aaron Schobel and Anthony Hargrove are the only ends with experience. I hope Denney can go this week. If A-train cannot play, look for Fred Jackson to get the start. I’m excited to see what Jackson can do with a full workload. I have been impressed with his play so far and liked him a lot during the preseason. I hope we can get him going early against the Skins this weekend. Get well soon guys. Lets Go Bills.

Hello Bills fans. Even though we have been blown out the past two games, the Bills are still alive in the playoff hunt. We are two games out of the final spot with five to play. I don’t see us catching the Jaguars because they are 8-3 plus they beat us last week. The Browns are at 7-4 and play the Bills on December 16th. Hopefully Trent Edwards can lead us to victory against the Redskins and the Dolphins. It would be nice for the Bills to be 7-6 going into the Cleveland game. The Browns have played really well this year and that game will decide our season. Although we have struggled, I feel the team will not give up and will fight even harder with Edwards as the starter. Stranger things have happened and with a few bounces here and there we might be able to sneak into the playoffs. I don’t really see us having much of a chance if we did get in but it sure would be nice to get there. Lets hope Marshawn Lynch gets healthy and returns to the lineup soon. Trent needs to have him back there just like J.P did the last two weeks. That Monday night collapse against Dallas is really going to haunt us if we end up a game out of the wild card. Let go Bills. Lets win the last five games.

Hello Bills fans. Today Coach Dick Jauron announced that quarterback Trent Edwards will start this week against the Washington Redskins. This change does not surprise me because J.P. Losman has struggled the last three weeks. I think yesterday was the last straw for Losman. In a game that the Bills needed to win to stay in the playoff hunt, Losman made many mistakes. It is a shame because I really like J.P. and always felt he could be a really good quarterback in this league. The Bills want to see what Trent can do for the rest of the season. They know what they have in Losman. He is the type of quarterback that can wow you with his strong arm but also make you scratch your head after a terrible interception. Losman is the same type of quarterback as Rex Grossman and Kyle Boller. All three have rocket arms but struggle to make the right decisions. Losman throws one of the best deep balls in the league but cannot hit his receivers in stride or over the middle. It kills me to say this but I believe this is the right move by this franchise. Hopefully Edwards can lead us to victory and show the organization that he is the future. I feel bad for Losman and would love for him to stay as a backup. I doubt that will happen. In the games that Edwards has started this year, he seems to have a knack for finding the open receiver and hitting him in stride. With the proper protection, Edwards has the ability to carve up a defense. He also is better at controlling the clock and making the correct reads. Losman seems to lock onto one receiver and forces way to many throws. I’m assuming the switch to Edwards is for the rest of the season unless and injury occurs. Good luck Trent. I will be supporting you all the way. Go Bills.

Hello Bills fans. Well all I can say is that the J.P. Losman era might officially be over. Although he was not the only one to blame for this 22-point loss to Jacksonville, he did make many mistakes. His two interceptions and one fumble were all drive killers. Both interceptions were forced throws into double and triple coverage. With the Bills trailing 13-7 in the second quarter, Losman fumbled on a third and one play with a little over two minutes remaining. This proved to be a costly turnover because the Bills were driving and could have got into field goal range or even scored a touchdown. The fumble led to a Jacksonville field goal giving them a 16-7 lead going into the half. If we could have gotten even a field goal and went into the half only down by three, it would have been a whole different ball game. Losman looked scared in the pocket and kept on dumping the ball off to Anthony Thomas. I have no problem with doing that to gain yards but at some point you have to take your shots down the field. Lee Evans was held without a catch until garbage time in the fourth quarter. Offensive coordinator Steve Fairchild has to find a way to get Evans more involved if this team wants to succeed. He is our best receiver and needs to be thrown to more than a few times a game. It also extremely hurts that Marshawn Lynch is injured. He was our whole offense for the first nine games of the season. The A-train is not cutting it. He did make a nice play on his first career-receiving touchdown. I hope Lynch is ready when we take on Washington next week. Now on to the defense. The Bills really need to change things up here. Our defensive line cannot get to the quarterback. They also can’t get off of the field on third downs. We allow way to many third down conversions. I also think a change needs to be made in the secondary. George Wilson is not cutting it at free safety. I know that we have a lot of injuries but he seems to be out of position and doesn’t have the speed to recover. David Garrad had all the time in the world and nearly threw for 300 yards. The only positive today from the defense was that they held Jacksonville without a touchdown in the red zone. We had many chances today to get back into the game but Losman and the offense couldn’t deliver. I was a really big Losman supporter and wanted to see him as our starting quarterback. I am now saying that I want to see Trent Edwards for the rest of the season. I know what Losman has and he is not consistent enough to be a starter in this league. He has all the physical tools but plays scared and doesn’t see the field well. Well another disappointing game and at 5-6 the playoffs seem almost out of reach.

Hello Bills fans. This Sunday the Buffalo Bills travel to Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars. This is a must win game for the Bills if they want to stay in wild card contention. Jacksonville comes into this one with a 7-3 record. They have a tremendous defense and an excellent running back tandem. Here are the key matchups the Bills most win to come out of this one victorious.

J.P. Losman vs. Jacksonville Defense: As I stated in a previous post, Losman needs to have a big game to hold onto his starting job. He needs to be accurate and get rid of the ball when the heat is on. I hope he can hook up with Lee Evans on some deep routes to help get us into the endzone. Losman must put this team on his back and lead us to victory. I just want to see him have a monster game. He is due for a 300 yard 3 td performance.

Jones-Drew & Fred Taylor vs. Bills Defense: This is going to be a tough task for the run defense this week. Jones-Drew has the power to break tackles and the speed to take it to the house. The defense has to forget about last week and come out and perform at a high level. If we can slow down the run, this will put more pressure on David Garrad. Although Garrad has played well this year, we need to force him into some bad throws. I hope our big guys up front can get penetration and slow down both Jones-Drew and Taylor.

Special Teams: In my opinion, special teams are going to play a major part in this game. Jones-Drew is a dangerous kick returner. Our coverage units must play solid and not allow him to get the Jaguars in good field position. Rian Lindell has been great all year and will have to hit all of his attempts. Brian Moorman must also pin the Jaguars back so we can win the field position battle. I would love to see Roscoe Parrish and Terrence McGee break some long returns.

The Bills are treating this game like a playoff game. Jacksonville is in the wild card hunt also and needs this game just as bad as we do. To be successful, the Bills offense must not turn the ball over and the defense has to get some sort of a pass rush against Garrad. This is going to be a tough game but hopefully we can come out victorious. My prediction….Bills 20 Jaguars 17.

Hello Bills fans. For the second straight week Marshawn Lynch will not play. Anthony Thomas will get the start and Dwayne Wright will be the backup. I would really love to see the Bills give Fred Jackson a chance. Jackson has the speed and elusiveness to pickup some big gains. Hopefully we can run the ball this week against a tough Jacksonville defense.

J.P. Losman will make his fourth straight start. He is looking to rebound from last week’s shaky performance. Look for Losman to air it out in this game because he knows the team needs this win and his job is on the line. I hope he has a great game because I feel that he gives us the best chance to win down the stretch. Losman just needs to improve his accuracy and decision-making. Many experts feel that Trent Edwards has a greater upside than Losman. Although I do like Trent a lot, he is still a rookie and will go through some growing pains. I just want this team to decide on a quarterback and go with it. Lets play to J.P’s strengths and launch the ball to Lee Evans and Roscoe Parrish.

Roscoe Parrish needs to be used more in this offense. Although he is undersized, Parrish makes up for it with his quickness and elusiveness. It almost seems that there is a chance that every time he touches the ball he can go the distance. I want to see the Bills run some end arounds and quick slants to Roscoe. He deserves to have the ball in his hands more. Using Roscoe will open up some big plays for Lee Evans and Josh Reed.

The offensive line must have a strong game this week both in pass protection and run blocking. The Jaguars have a very strong defensive line that does not give up yards on the ground. Our offensive line must give Losman time to throw the ball and try to get some push so A-train has some holes to run through. This is going to be a tough task for the big guys. Lets Go Bills. Beat the Jaguars.

Hello Bills fans. I just watched J.P.’s press conference on buffalobills.com. He stated that the team is taking this weeks game as a playoff. They need to have this one to stay in the hunt. I couldn’t agree with that more. The Bills need to beat the Jaguars if they want to make a push for the postseason. The Jaguars currently stand two games up on the Bills with six to go. Losman needs to be on his A game because this might be his final shot. The team must move the ball and eat up some clock. Going into this season I thought our offense was going to dominate. We started to click at the end of last season. I don’t know if it’s the play calling or the personnel on the field. We have the weapons and need to use them. It does hurt if we don’t have Marshawn Lynch again this week, which looks likely. I think one of our major problems is not having a solid #2 receiver. I love Josh Reed but he is best suited for the slot role. This offseason we need to either draft a tall receiver or trade for one. The offense needs a second threat to take some heat off of Lee Evans. I’m still waiting for that game where everything clicks. I want to see the offense score at will and the defense shut down an opponent. It’s going to be a tough task against the Jaguars because they have a really good defense. Please J.P. bring one home. Lets go Bills.

Hello Bills fans. Coach Dick Jauron announced today that Marshawn Lynch has a high ankle sprain. He will most likely be out again this week against Jacksonville. Without Lynch we don’t have a running game. He brings to so much this team and in my opinion is the heart and soul of the offense. Anthony Thomas is a good backup but cannot carry the full load. We need Lynch back as soon as possible. Coach also stated that Marshawn wanted to play last week. I just want him to get healthy because we desperately need him out there. Lets Go Bills.
