Die Hard Bills Fan

Hello Bills fans. There is some potential great news for the Bills defense. Linebacker Keith Ellison practiced today and could be ready to go for Monday night’s game. It was said that Ellison did not experience any pain and was full go at practice. Ellison is a very good cover linebacker and it will only help the defense. I wish Posluszny didn’t get hurt because I really wanted to see him, Ellison, and Angelo Crowell on the field at the same time. Ellison had a high ankle sprain that has sidelined him for the first four games. It would be a big boost if he can go against Dallas. In other news, starting strong safety Donte Whitner is moving to free safety this week due to the injury to Jim Leonhard. Bryan Scott is starting at the strong safety position. He is better suited for that role. I feel Whitner will do a great job and will be excellent in supporting both Jabari Greer and Terrence McGee against the high-powered Cowboys offense. Defensive end Anthony Hargrove is eligible to return to the team this week. The Bills have yet added him to the 53-man roster. Look for that to happen in the next few days. I believe they have until Sunday to do so. I am happy that Hargrove is back. He brings energy to this team. It will also be good for our defensive end rotation. Having Hargrove spell both Schobel and Kelsay will make both stay fresh for the entire game. After the bye, defensive end Ryan Denney should be back. This will be yet another boost to our defensive line. Denney is just as good in my opinion as Kelsay. Can’t wait to finally get a little help on the defensive side. Go Bills and lets show the national audience what we are made of.

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

Well Bills fans, we lost another defensive starter for the year. The Bills today announced that they have placed Paul Posluszny on injured reserve. This to me is really heartbreaking because Poz is a terrific player and he only got to play in three games in his rookie season. This was going to be a year where he would learn the ropes of the NFL game and improve each and every week. He was already turning into a tackling machine and was only going to get better. This really pisses me off. How can we lose so many guys in only three games? Poz joins starting cornerback Jason Webster and starting safety Ko Simpson on injured reserve. The Bills have now lost five defensive starters in all. Keith Ellison is still nursing a high ankle sprain and Terrence McGee did not play last week due to a rib injury. John DiGiorgio had a nice game filling in for Poz. He recorded 12 tackles and ½ sack. It’s a damn shame to lose a player like Poz. Lets hope he gets well soon. The Bills today have also announced the re-signing of quarterback Craig Nall. The Bills had to sign a qb because Losman will be out two weeks. The Bills cut Nall before the season and only kept two qbs on the roster. It’s nice to have a quarterback that knows the system. Nall spent last season on the roster but did not see any action during the season. Lets hope Trent Edwards has a great game this week against the Jets. Lets Go Buffalo. Get well soon Poz.

Hello Bills fans. Well my prediction was totally wrong. The Buffalo Bills lost their second straight falling to the Pittsburgh Steelers 26-3. The Bills came out flat and never looked like they were into playing this game. The offense was dismal for the second week in a row. The inability to move the ball is really hurting our defense because they were constantly on the field yesterday. The defense did hold the Steelers to only 12 first half points but the time of possession and the amount of offensive plays were in the Steelers favor. The score of this one could have been a lot worse. Our defense tightened when the Steelers reached the red zone in the first half. The only bright spot in my opinion on defense was Jim Leonhard getting an interception for the second week in a row. He has a knack for the ball and is a very smart player. It’s nice to see someone trying to help this team win.
Our offense continues to struggle in every aspect. Marshawn Lynch did have a few nice runs but was not used at all in the passing game. Lynch is a dynamic back and I don’t know why the Bills don’t run any specific pass plays for him. He ended up carrying the ball 18 times for 64 yards and had one reception for 21 yards. J.P. Losman looked out of sync all day and ended the game 15-25 for 154 yards. He was high on a lot of his throws and was not decisive when he had time to throw the ball. I don’t know if it’s the receiver’s inability to get open or if Losman just can’t go through his reads properly. We have one of the best receivers in Lee Evans and we can’t seem to find a way to get him the ball. Evans only had two catches for 17 yards yesterday. That is unacceptable. This team is not good enough to win if our #1 receiver does not get involved. Evans was showing signs of frustration in the 4th quarter yesterday. He had back to back personal foul penalties. On one play he was being held while going for a ball thrown in the end-zone. The ref did not call pass interference and Evans flipped out. In all his years with the Bills I have never seen that side of Lee. Even Coach Dick Jauron was upset with the officials in this one. Coach Jauron is a mild mannered man but was seen jawing at the officials yesterday. Offensive coordinator Steve Fairchild has to call a better game. I know that the Steelers have a great defense but we have to gain more than 223 yards of offense. Fairchild has to open up the playbook and let Losman loose. We have the speed at the receiver position to take our shots downfield. Hopefully Losman can rebound from two terrible games and show the coaches that he can lead this team.

Our defense continues to struggle to get off the field on third down. We give up way to many first downs and teams our killing us with the run. Willie Parker rushed the ball 23 times for 126 yards and a td. Ben Roethlisberger threw for 242 yards and one td. It kills me every time we let an opposing team’s offense march up and down the field like nothing. We have to be able to stop the run and stop giving receivers a 10-yard cushion. We were unable to get consistent pressure on Roethlisberger and at times it seemed like he had all day to find a target. Aaron Schobel and Chris Kelsay need to put some pressure on the qb because our secondary is not strong enough to cover for that long. Our defense gave up 420 yards of total offense. This is the second week in a row that we have given up more than 400 yards. Something has to change. Defensive coordinator Perry Fewell needs to mix things up a little bit. Maybe it’s because we are without Ko Simpson, Ryan Denney, Keith Ellison and Anthony Hargrove. I just hope that we can get this thing right and start holding teams in check.

Next week does not getting any easier Bills fans. The Bills travel to New England to face the 2-0 Patriots. The Pats blew out the Chargers last night 38-14. I just hope that we show some positive signs against the Pats. I don’t see us winning but hey you never know. Hopefully Losman can get back on track and lead this team to a victory. Just get the ball in the hands of your playmakers. Evans, Lynch and Roscoe Parrish are the guys that need to be heavily involved to make this offense succeed. Let’s Go Buffalo.

Hello Bills fans. Today the Buffalo Bills have put cornerback Jason Webster on injured reserve officially ending his season. Webster broke his forearm in Sunday’s game against Denver. The Bills have also signed linebacker Leon Joe. Joe is known for his special teams play and will likely be Everett’s replacement on that unit. It is crazy how the defense took so many hits so far in the season. Starting linebacker Keith Ellison was injured in the last preseason game. Coy Wire his replacement, sprained his MCL against Denver. John DiGiorgio is likely going to get the start in place of Wire. Hopefully Ellison will be back in a few weeks. Ashton Youboty will take Webster’s spot opposite of Terrence McGee. This is the time for Youboty to shine and show the organization that they made the right move in drafting him last year. He did look good on Sunday when he came in. Lets hope he can keep the Steelers receivers in check. Jim Leonhard will start at free safety with Ko Simpson being injured. Simpson was also placed on injured reserve. I was really upset when he got hurt because he and Donte Whitner made a great safety tandem. They both played well together as rookies last year. Lets hope the guys who are taking the place of our injured players contribute and get us a win against the Steelers. Lets go Buffalo.

Hello Bills fans. The Buffalo Bills have listed both defensive end Ryan Denney and linebacker Keith Ellison out for sundays game against Denver. It is not a suprise being that Denney has a broken bone in his foot and Ellison has a high ankle sprain. It will be interesting to see how well Coy Wire does in place of Ellison. Hopefully he plays well and delivers some serious hits. Aaron Schobel and Chris Kelsay will be playing the majority of the game and will not be able to rotate as much with Denney being out. Cant wait for Sunday. Lets Go Buffalo.

Hello Bills fans. Starting weakside linebacker Keith Ellison is out indefinitely due to a high ankle sprain. This is a serious blow because Ellison showed last season that he has what it takes to be a big contributor for us on defense. Coy Wire will start in place of Ellison. Wire delivered some serious hits in the preseason but this will be his first start at the position. Wire is a converted safety but did play linebacker in college. Wire will do fine for us because he is a hard worker and a great athlete. Having Angelo Crowell out there will help both Wire and starting rookie linebacker Paul Posluszny. Lets hope the defense stays healthy from now to the start of the season. Go Bills.
