Die Hard Bills Fan

Hello Bills fans.  I just finished reading an article from the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle and it states that U.S. Senator Charles Schumer spoke with Ralph Wilson this morning in reference to the future of the Buffalo Bills.  He stated that Mr. Wilson’s plan is to increase revenue with the eight games over the next five seasons in Toronto.  He also wants to keep the Bills in Buffalo and that is why they have explored this avenue.  Its very encouraging that Senator Schumer will do everything in his power to keep the team in Western New York.  This is great news Bills fans.  Lets Go Buffalo.

Hello Bills fans.  This Friday, Die Hard Giants Fan and I will ask each other a few questions before the Giants travel to Buffalo to take on our Bills.  This is a huge game for the Giants because they need to win to get in the playoffs.  Cant wait to hear what the Die Hard Giants Fan blog writers have to say.

Hello Bills fans.  This Sunday’s game against the New York Giants has officially been sold out.  The Bills have now sold out all eight home games this year.  This is great news because last year the last couple of home games were not sold out.  If the Bills continue to improve, I don’t see a reason why they cant sellout year after year.  This bodes well for the future of this franchise.  It was rumored earlier this season that the Bills would eventually move out of Western New York due to the economy.  I hope the Bills stay in Buffalo forever.  It is such a great football town and I enjoy visiting there every year.  Go Bills.

Hello Bills fans. With the emergence of Fred Jackson, the Bills now have two running backs that can dominate. Jackson has showed his skills the last two weeks and combined with Marshawn Lynch can really take the team to the next level. Lynch is of course the featured back but Jackson will get his share of touches during the course of a game. The Bills haven’t had two backs like this since the glory days with Thurman Thomas and Kenneth Davis. I remember watching games when Thurman would get a breather and Davis would come in and make some big runs. There was almost no drop off in play. That is the situation I see with the Bills now. When Marshawn needs a break, Jackson can come in and break off a big run. Jackson seems to have the speed and Marshawn constantly breaks tackles. The offensive line is also playing a lot better and paving the way for our backs. This team is really exciting to watch especially with players like Lynch and Jackson carrying the football. Lets Go Bills.

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. What a game. Our offense finally put up some points and our defense played almost lights out. Marshawn Lynch had his best game of the season rushing 29 times for 153 yards. His best run of the day was the 56 yard touchdown to seal the victory in the 4th quarter. Lynch broke a couple of tackles on the play and then took off down the sideline. No one was going to catch him. He got up to full speed in a hurry. Lynch also threw his first career touchdown pass to Robert Royal giving the Bills a five point lead. He got the pitch from J.P. Losman and threw a perfect spiral to Royal in the endzone. What a fantastic play call. Losman also had a fantastic day going 24-34 for 295 and a touchdown. He also threw an interception but I will take those numbers any day. Lee Evans had another terrific game with nine receptions for 165 and a touchdown. Losman and Evans have great chemistry and it shows on the field. The offensive line played great today giving Losman plenty of time to scan the field. He threw some nice checkdowns to Michael Gaines and Robert Royal. Angelo Crowell led the defense with 14 tackles. He was all over the field. Our defense as a whole played great allowing only 28 yards rushing. Jabari Greer and Terrence McGee played a great game forcing Palmer to make some bad throws. Kiwaukee Thomas came up with an interception to end the game. Great game by both the offense and the defense. I was a little disappointed in the special teams coverage. They gave up a 100 yard return for a touchdown. That is so unlike Bobby Aprils unit. We made up for it with a few good punt returns. This was a great team win. I also want to thank Coach Jauron for putting a great game plan in place. Our offense again controlled the clock and would have scored more if we didn’t have to settle for field goals on a couple of drives. It feels really good to get to .500. I hope we continue to play like we have the last three weeks. This team is starting to come together and everyone is playing hard. Our defense has been fantastic and our offense is starting to show that we have the weapons to score. Lets Go Bills. Great win yesterday.

Hello Bills fans. This week Willis McGahee returns to Buffalo for the first time since being traded this past off-season. McGahee was drafted by the Bills in 2003 but didn’t see his first action until the 2004 season. It was a total surprise when the Bills selected McGahee because Travis Henry was playing well. McGahee was a top prospect in college but had a horrific knee injury that knocked him down to the 23rd pick in the draft. He wasn’t ready to play but the Bills waited for him because they felt he was a special talent. After four seasons with the Bills, McGahee was demanding a contract extension. He only gained 990 yards in 2006 and the Bills wanted to wait to see if he would bounce back in 07 before rewarding him with a new contract. Willis didn’t really want to be in Buffalo. He became frustrated and started to make dumb decisions during games. He seemed to not run as hard as he did in previous years. The Bills granted McGahee’s wish and traded him to Baltimore for three draft picks. What is ironic to me is that one of the draft picks we received for him was used to select our rookie starting quarterback Trent Edwards. What is also pretty funny is that back in 2003 we traded Peerless Price to the Atlanta Falcons for the 23rd pick in the 2003 draft, which we used on McGahee. Peerless has been back with the Bills for two years but is injured. I was tired of McGahee. In my opinion he danced around too much and didn’t try to get the extra yards. I’m really happy that we have Marshawn Lynch and I would take him any day over McGahee. Bills fans are going to heckle Willis all game. When Willis left, he made some comments about the team and how happy he is to be out of Buffalo. Well Willis, I hope this Sunday you get shutdown and our new back talks a couple to the house. Lets go Bills and shutdown the Ravens.

Hello Bills fans. I just want to say congratulations to Jabari Greer for winning AFC defensive player of the week. He had a really good game against the Jets last week and with his interception and setup what would be the winning touchdown. This week the Bills secondary will be tested. They go up against a real good receiving corp. Dallas has Terrell Owens, Patrick Crayton, Sam Hurd, and Jason Witten. Jabari Greer and Terrence McGee have their work cut out for them. It is also going to be extremely hard covering Witten. He is a favorite target of Tony Romo. I hope either Keith Ellison or Angelo Crowell can disrupt some over the middle passes to Witten. I’m curious to see the game plan that defensive coordinator Perry Fewell has in place. I think we should play aggressive and take some chances. Our defensive line has to stop the run and force Dallas into a lot of third and longs. It will be tough to do but this being our first Monday night game at home in 13 years, I’m sure the crowd will cause some false starts by the Cowboys offense. Donte Whitner also needs to have a big game this week. He will be switching back and forth during the game from strong to free safety. Hopefully Whitner can come up with an interception and breakup a few pass plays in this one. Lets go Bills.

Hello Bills fans. This week is going to be an extremely tough game. The New England Patriots look just like the powerhouse everyone thought they would be. One thing I would love to see this weekend is both Aaron Schobel and Chris Kelsay sacking Tom Brady. Schobel has had great success against New England’s o-line and has sacked Brady over 10 times. If Schobel can get to Brady on Sunday and maybe force a fumble or a bad throw, I believe we will be in this game. I really want to see our young yet fast defense play a complete game. We need to attack right from the get go and show this New England team that we our no pushover. It really hurts that we have no depth at the defensive end position. Anthony Hargrove getting suspended really but a damper on what I thought would be a great backup pass rusher. He is due back week five and hopefully can contribute right away. He did look good in the pre-season and showed some flashes last year. Our linebackers also have to be flying all over the field this week. Posluszny, Crowell, and DiGiorgio have to tackle with force and get physical with this high-powered offense. Lets hope that defensive coordinator Perry Fewell has some tricks up his sleeve to create some turnovers. The Bills will need to get at least two or even three turnovers to be in this one. I beg you defense, please get pressure on Brady and get some three and outs. Our defense has been on the field way too long in both games and I would like to see our offense have some time consuming drives. Both will be extremely tough tasks against this team. Lets Go Bills and I will never stop billieving.
