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. What can I say, we were demolished yesterday. Not only did we lose by 31 points, we lost J.P. Losman for at least two weeks and Paul Posluszny for probably the year. The hit that Losman took on the first play of the game was such a cheap shot. Posluszny’s arm got caught between a Patriots player and another Bills defender. I was heartbroken when I saw the trainers putting the air cast on his arm. I can’t believe all of the injuries that this team has endured this early in the season. We have street free agents on the field and it’s starting to show in the games because we are getting blown out. This game had disaster written all over it after New England started to move the ball at will. Our defense can’t stop the run and our offense can’t get a first down. It’s so hard to watch every week but I always have hope that we can pull one out.
The way the game started out I thought we had a chance. After Losman’s fumble on the blind side sack, the Pats had great field position. Our defense held them out of the end-zone and the Pats settled for three. Losman was heading back to the locker room for x-rays on the knee, rookie Trent Edwards came in and led the team down the field. He threw a few nice passes and ended up 4-5 on the drive. Marshawn Lynch powered in the endzone from 8 yards out to give the Bills a 6-3 lead. Lindell knocked home the extra point to make it 7-3. That score would hold until Tom Brady threw a touchdown pass to Watson with 5:08 left in the second quarter. The Bills offense started to sputter after that impressive drive. First downs were hard to come by and New England was winning the field position battle. Our average drive start was the 17 compared to the Pats which was the 44 yard line. The Pats scored a second td with 1:08 to go in the second quarter. Brady hit Randy Moss on a three yard slant. The halftime score was New England 17 Bills 7. At this point I was upset but not too down because we were still in striking distance.
The second half was a whole different story. We couldn’t consistently move the ball and New England would get two touchdowns in the third quarter to make the game out of reach. The score after three was Pats 31 Bills 7. Trent Edwards was getting blitzed and the Bills went into their conservative offense approach. It seemed that on every first and second down we would run the ball and on third down pass. New England was ready for every play and it seemed as if they knew the play better than our offense did. The only positives out of this game is that Marshawn Lynch continued to run hard and ended up with 20 carries for 74 yards and a touchdown. Another reason why the Pats were scoring at will is because we couldn’t stop the run. Maroney and Sammy Morris were getting big chunks of yardage in the second half. Our defense was only playing with two linebackers after Posluszny injured his arm. Tom Brady threw for over 300 yards and had four touchdown passes. Terrence McGee did not play and that hurt our special teams and secondary tremendously. McGee is a big part of this team and could have helped us against Randy Moss and Wes Welker.
The Buffalo Bills are now 0-3 and the future does not look so bright. The only good thing is that we play the Jets this Sunday in Buffalo. Trent Edwards will be the starter this week. If we can have a good running attack and the defense is not on the field the whole game, we might be able to pull this one out. The schedule gets hard again after the Jets game. We play the 3-0 Dallas Cowboys on Monday October 8th. I will be at that game and hopefully the Bills can play the Cowboys tough. Lets Go Edwards and Lynch. We can win this weekend.

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.

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. As you all know, The Denver Broncos defeated the Buffalo Bills 15-14 with a last second field goal by Jason Elam. I just want to say something before I go on. I hate it when the Bills lose but realized after the game that it is indeed just a game. Backup Tight End Kevin Everett was seriously injured early in the third quarter. On the opening second half kickoff, he was going to make the tackle and lowered his head. He fell to the ground and just didn’t move. I was thinking to myself that in live action the hit didn’t look that bad. I thought maybe he had a concussion or a stinger. When the put him on the stretcher and he still didn’t move was very scary. At that moment I knew he was seriously injured and was being rushed to the hospital. It turns out that he suffered a serious neck injury and was operated on at 8 pm. There is no word yet on if he has movement in his arms and legs. Lets hope that the surgery was successful and that Everett regains movement. Its sad to see anyone get hurt especially during a game. Everett is only 25 years old and had a lot of life in front of him. Lets pray that Everett makes a full recover. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.

The game started with the Bills getting the ball first. On their first drive, the Bills offense looked good and moved the ball down the field. They got in field goal range but gave up a sack that pushed them back to almost midfield. Moorman had a beautiful punt that was downed at the one-yard line. Jay Cutler pulled a college play and pitched the ball the Travis Henry for a 30 plus yard gain. The defense held Denver in check and they punted the ball away to Roscoe Parrish. This was definitely the play of the game. Roscoe Parrish ran 74 yards for the score and put the Bills in the lead 7-0. Our special teams were one of the few bright spots of this game. The offense sputtered for most of the day. Terrence McGee had a terrific kick return in the second quarter that I thought he was going to take to the house. He was tripped up at mid-field giving the offense excellent field position. The offense moved the ball but came up without any points due to Rian Lindells missing a 45-yard field goal. After the missed field goal, Denver was driving down the field. Thank God Jim Leonhard who was in because Ko Simpson was injured, came up with an interception and returned it 36 yards. The Bills were back in business and were setting up for a 53-yard Rian Lindell field goal. A false start penalty pushed them back five yards. This was out of Lindells range so with eight seconds left, J.P. Losman was trying to get the Bills closer and then call a timeout. He ends up throwing an interception on an attempted screen pass. I for one didn’t like the plays that were being called on that drive. Another wasted scoring opportunity and now the Bills go into halftime up 7-6. It could have been at least 10-6.
The second half started out with the terrible injury to Kevin Everett. The offense did manage to get into the end zone in the third quarter. Marshawn Lynch had a couple of great runs on this drive and his 23-yard run was a thing of beauty. Lynch is going to be a special player for us. He has the toughness, speed and balance to be a tremendous back in this league. The Bills were now up 14-6. I thought we took the momentum and were going to run with it. At the end of the third quarter, Denver manages to get into the end zone but the two-point conversion attempt failed. The Bills were still in the lead 14-12. The inability to move the ball by the Bills offense gave Denver multiple chances to take the lead. Jason Elam missed a field goal with 3 minutes and change left in the game. All the Bills needed to do were get a few first downs and ice this game. All game, the offense didn’t take many shots down the field. It was third down and I believe five to go with two minutes and change remaining. J.P. Losman unloads one down the field to Lee Evans but the ball was thrown to the wrong shoulder. It would have been a touchdown and game would have been over. Instead Denver gets the ball back, converts on a few 3rd and 4th downs, and Elam kicks a field goal with the clock at one second to send Denver off with a win. Final Score Broncos 15 Bills 14.
This game was not the best game for the Bills offense and pass defense. Not only did we lose the game, we lost a bunch of players. Kevin Everett, Jason Webster, Ko Simpson, and Coy Wire were all injured. Webster broke his forearm, Simpson fractured his ankle and Coy Wire sprained his MCL. What a way to start the season. Hopefully this team can rebound from all of these injuries and come out next week and play well. Lets Go Bills and keep Kevin Everett in your prayers.

Bright Spots: Bills Special Teams, Marshawn Lynch running the ball, Josh Reed, and Posluszny.

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.

Hello Bills fans. I would like to talk about our rookie middle linebacker Paul Posluszny. I’m extremely happy that Coach Jauron named Poz the starting middle linebacker. He has the tools to be great in our defense. Although I like John DiGiorgio, Poz has more of an upside and is an all around better player. Poz reminds me of Chris Spielman in a way because he attacks the ball carrier. Even though Spielman was only on the Bills for two years, he became my favorite player. During the 1996 season, Spielman recorded a Bills record 206 tackles. London Fletcher later broke that. Spielman was such a phenomenal tackler and when I look at Poz I see the same tenacity. Poz if not already will soon win over all Bills fans. He plays with a lot of energy and will help in stopping the run this year. I know he will only be a rookie but he seems like a very smart player and will adapt right away to the pro game. Poz will soon be a fan favorite and will help the Bills get to the playoffs. I love what the organization is doing. We have a really young team with a bright future. Lets Go Bills and go get them Broncos Poz.

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.
