Die Hard Bills Fan

Hello Bills fans. The Bills have made a few roster moves today. They have placed backup offensive lineman Jason Whittle on injured reserve. To take Whittles place on the roster, linebacker Kevin Harrison was signed. Harrison spent most of last year on the practice squad. He was released during the final cuts in September. He will most likely play special teams because of the release of Josh Scobey. The Bills have also signed defensive tackle Orien Harris to the practice squad. To make room for him, they released offensive lineman Nevin McCaskill. Look for the Bills to add another offensive lineman to the roster. The only reserves we have healthy are Duke Preston and Kirk Chambers. I still can’t believe how many players we have put on IR this season. The list continues to grow. Whittle joins Ko Simpson, Jason Webster, Al Wallace, Paul Posluszny, Kevin Everett, and Aaron Merz. I can’t believe we are only going into week four. With all of the injuries we have, I would think it was the end of December. In other news it looks like newly signed linebacker Leon Joe will get the start on the outside. John DiGiorgio will take over the middle and Angelo Crowell will be on the other outside position. I don’t know about you but I cant wait for Keith Ellison to come back. He might be back for the Dallas game. He was jogging today in practice and hopefully he can be ready for next week. We could really use all the help we can get. Lets Go Bills

Hello Bills fans. The Bills have released running back Josh Scobey and signed cornerback Jerametrius Butler. Scobey was kept on the roster because of his special teams skills. This past Sunday he filled in for Terrence McGee on kickoffs. He did look a bit indecisive at times taking the ball out of the endzone. He averaged 22.4 on five returns. The Bills had to release him because we already have four healthy running backs on the roster. Butler is familiar with Bills defensive coordinator Perry Fewell. He coached Butler in St. Louis we he was a secondary coach. Butler comes in with experience but has suffered injuries over the past two seasons. All we need is another injury prone corner. We will see how this pans out. The Bills were very thin at corner last week with McGee being out. We only had three healthy corners and that is not what you want going into a game. Lets hope Butler can make some plays if called upon. Lets Go Bills. Please give us a win this weekend.

In their final preseason game, the Buffalo Bills defeated the Detroit Lions 16-13. The Bills fell in an early 13-point deficit. Trent Edwards came in and led the team to a field goal right before halftime. Edwards went 18-24 of 182 yards. Most of his passes were crisp and on the money. His best pass was a 23-yard completion to Jonathan Smith. Edwards felt the blitz coming and perfectly placed the ball in Smiths hands along the sidelines. Rookie fourth round pick Dwayne Wright had 11 rushes for 51 yards. Fred Jackson had the teams’ only touchdown in the third quarter on a five-yard run. Bills receiver Justin Jenkins led all receivers with five catches for 56 yards. Tight end Kevin Everett also made a few nice grabs. Starting quarterback J.P. Losman only played two series and completed 5 of 6 passes for 43 yards. The starting offense moved the ball but the drives stalled due to a bad call by the officials on what looked to me like a reception by Peerless Price. Rian Lindell hit all three of his field goals tonight and looked in mid-season form. Jabari Greer and Ashton Youboty impressed me with their physical tackling. After the Bills took the led late in the fourth quarter, Josh Scobey stripped the ball from Lions kick return Kasper and it was recovered by John Wendling to seal the victory. Even though the team got off to a slow start, the young guys battled the whole game to take the victory. Big game for Edwards as he has just about solidified his role as the second string quarterback. It always feels good after a win even though it was only a preseason game.
