Die Hard Bills Fan

Hello Bills fans.  Today the team announced that they have acquired defensive tackle Marcus Stroud from the Jacksonville Jaguars for undisclosed draft picks.  It has be stated that the Bills gave the Jaguars a 3rd and 5th round pick for Stroud.  All I have to say is finally.  I cant believe they pulled the trigger and picked up an awesome defensive tackle.  This team has been lacking a great tackle since Pat Williams left.  The Bills have also signed defensive lineman Spencer Johnson.  Johnson was with the Vikings since being signed as an undrafted free agent back in 2004.  Johnson is going to replace recently released Larry Tripplett.  Johnson has experience playing end also which will benefit the team after losing Anthony Hargrove to a drug suspension.  This is one of the most exciting days in Bills history and I feel that our defense with Stroud, Kawika Mitchell and Johnson just got a hell of a lot better.  Go Bills.

Hello Bills fans.  After being torched for over 290 yards on the ground, I think it’s about time to get rid of the Cover 2 defense.  Maybe its because of the lack of talent we have up front, but it seems that we have given up way to many yards on the ground this year.  This team needs a big defensive tackle in the worst way.  John McCargo has had a great year.  He seems to always make plays.  Larry Tripplett is very inconsistent.  One week he looks great and the next week he disappears.  Kyle Williams is a hard-nosed player that seems to be improving.  We need a big tackle.  I miss the days of having Pat Williams and Sam Adams.  Teams just couldn’t run on us.  I watched the Vikings game the other night and Big Pat still can play.  He was voted to the Pro Bowl this year.  Teams have to triple team him at times because of his strength.  He seems to always get a good push up the middle.  The Bills are missing that.  The Cover 2 utilizes speed tackles and ends to get pressure on the quarterback.  When no pressure occurs, our corners and safeties are vulnerable because they are basically playing zone.  I have seen way to many receivers wide open for first downs.  This past week we gave up two huge runs due to our inability to only keep seven in the box.  Once a back seems to past our linebackers, he is home free.  The Bills must try to fill obtain a defensive tackle either in free agency or the draft.  I would love to see them land Albert Haynesworth from the Titans.  I doubt that will happen because he will demand big bucks.  Hopefully we can correct our defensive problems by either getting more talent or adopting a new scheme.  Go Bills.

Hello Bills fans. The Buffalo Bills went into Washington and came out with a win. Rian Lindell kicked the game winning field goal with four seconds left to get the Bills their sixth victory of the season. Lindell kicked five field goals on the day. Trent Edwards had a productive day going 22 for 36 with 257 yards. He threw a big 31 yard pass to Josh Reed to setup the game winning field goal. Fred Jackson rushed 16 times for 82 yards and also had over 60 receiving yards. The defense came up big holding the Redskins to only 16 points. Linebacker Angelo Crowell sacked Redskins quarterback Jason Campbell in the endzone to get the safety. Aaron Schobel and Ryan Denney had great games. Schobel had a nice sack on Campbell. Terrence McGee came up with a big deflection on a pass that was intercepted by Larry Tripplett. Edwards showed great poise and accuracy in leading the Bills down the field with less than a minute left. I was really impressed with the way the team played today. They never gave up and played hard the entire game. Although the defense struggled in the first half, they came up big in the fourth quarter. This was a great team win. We are still in the playoff hunt thanks to Trent. Lets Go Buffalo.

Hello Bills fans. This Sunday the Buffalo Bills travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers at Heinz Field. The game will be on directv channel 706 and in HD on channel 719. Here are the key matchups the Bills will need to win in order to come out of this game victorious.

Bills run defense vs. Willie Parker: The Bills will have a tough task ahead in stopping the speedy Willie Parker. Kyle Williams, Larry Tripplett, Aaron Schobel and Chris Kelsay need to hold Parker in check at the line of scrimmage. Parker is the type of back that can break one at anytime. The defense needs to slow him down and not allow any big plays. The Bills will also need their linebackers to have a big game. Angelo Crowell, Paul Posluszny and John DiGiorgio must fight off blocks and make tackles. Lets hope we can shut down the run this week.

Hines Ward and Santonio Holmes vs. Terrence McGee and Ashton Youboty: This weeks game will be a tough task for our secondary. Youboty is starting for the first time since being drafted last year. He came in last week when Jason Webster went down and played well. Both Youboty and McGee will be challenged all game by Ben Roethlisberger. I believe one will have an interception in this game. Holmes is a fast receiver and Ward is a savvy veteran who knows how to get open. He is also a very physical receiver. McGee will need to shut him down and hopefully we can get some turnovers.

J.P. Losman and Bills receivers vs. Pittsburgh’s Defense: J.P. in my opinion needs to have a big game this week. Last week he wasn’t able to get into a flow and missed on a long ball to Lee Evans that would have sealed the win for the Bills. Evans, Peerless Price, Roscoe Parrish and Josh Reed need to get open and find a way to keep the chains moving. Reed is questionable for tomorrow so if he doesn’t suit up watch Parrish have at least 6 catches. I would love to see Evans catch a bomb from Losman tomorrow. Please lets hit on a few homerun balls tomorrow.

Marshawn Lynch vs. Pittsburgh’s run defense: This is going to be a tough task for rookie Marshawn Lynch this week. Pittsburgh doesn’t allow 100 yard games. Their run defense is stingy and Lynch will have to fight for every yard he gets. Lynch really impressed me last week and I feel he will have another strong game this week. Look for Marshawn to get into the endzone against this defense. As long as the offensive line opens up some holes, Lynch will get his yards.

This is another tough game for the Bills. The Steelers looked really good last weekend and have a strong team on both sides of the ball. The Bills will have to play great special teams this week and try to win the field position battle. Last week special teams came up huge and almost helped us win the game. I would love to see Terrence McGee return a kick in this one. I also feel that the team will play with a heavy heart and win this one for Kevin Everett. My prediction…..Bills 20 Steelers 17

Hello Bills fans. This Sunday the Denver Broncos travel to Ralph Wilson Stadium to take on our Buffalo Bills. This game has many key matchups and here are a few that the Bills need to win in order to take this game.

Travis Henry vs. Bills run defense: Kyle Williams, Larry Tripplett, Aaron Schobel, Chris Kelsay, John McCargo, and Tim Anderson need to come up big in stopping Henry. They have to occupy blockers so Posluszny, Crowell, and Wire can attack the ball carrier. The Broncos have a very good line and are known for their chop blocks. Hopefully McCargo can use his speed and get into the backfield to disrupt some of Henry’s running lanes. Look for Poz to be all over the field in this game. I’m predicting 10 tackles and a forced fumble. I also feel that Crowell and Wire will be all over the field as well.

Lee Evans and Peerless Price vs. Champ Bailey and Dre Bly: I am looking forward to see how well Evans does against arguably the best corner in the league in Champ Bailey.
Lee Evans has the speed to get by Bailey so the Bills should go deep right away to take Bailey out of his game. Peerless Price needs to have a good game against Bly to take away some pressure from Evans. Also look for Josh Reed and Roscoe Parrish to play a big role in the slot. I feel that we can attack Denver either with the long ball or quick routes from our speedy slot receivers. I’m predicting Lee Evans to have 6 catches for 107 yards and one touchdown. Peerless will have 5 catches for 60 yards. Parrish and Reed will combine for over 100 yards with Reed having a touchdown grab. Also look for Reed to have a running play. He has a knack for breaking tackles.

Jay Cutler vs. Bills secondary: We all know that Jay Cutler has a cannon. Some of the passes he made last year were amazing. Terrence McGee, Jason Webster, Donte Whitner and Ko Simpson need to be on their game tomorrow. Denver has a few good wide receivers especially Javon Walker. Look for McGee to be locked in on him all day. I’m predicting an interception from Whitner. I really feel that he will have a great year at the strong safety position. Jabari Greer should get some time as the nickel back.

I feel that those three are the key matchups the Bills need to win in order to get a victory tomorrow. I can’t wait to see Marshawn Lynch and hope that he has a great game. J.P. Losman will be ready to go and lead this team to victory. For all of you fans with the Sunday ticket, The Bills are on channel 704 and in HD on channel 719. My prediction is Bills 27 - Broncos 20.
