Die Hard Bills Fan

Hello Bills fans. This Sunday the Buffalo Bills travel to Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars. This is a must win game for the Bills if they want to stay in wild card contention. Jacksonville comes into this one with a 7-3 record. They have a tremendous defense and an excellent running back tandem. Here are the key matchups the Bills most win to come out of this one victorious.

J.P. Losman vs. Jacksonville Defense: As I stated in a previous post, Losman needs to have a big game to hold onto his starting job. He needs to be accurate and get rid of the ball when the heat is on. I hope he can hook up with Lee Evans on some deep routes to help get us into the endzone. Losman must put this team on his back and lead us to victory. I just want to see him have a monster game. He is due for a 300 yard 3 td performance.

Jones-Drew & Fred Taylor vs. Bills Defense: This is going to be a tough task for the run defense this week. Jones-Drew has the power to break tackles and the speed to take it to the house. The defense has to forget about last week and come out and perform at a high level. If we can slow down the run, this will put more pressure on David Garrad. Although Garrad has played well this year, we need to force him into some bad throws. I hope our big guys up front can get penetration and slow down both Jones-Drew and Taylor.

Special Teams: In my opinion, special teams are going to play a major part in this game. Jones-Drew is a dangerous kick returner. Our coverage units must play solid and not allow him to get the Jaguars in good field position. Rian Lindell has been great all year and will have to hit all of his attempts. Brian Moorman must also pin the Jaguars back so we can win the field position battle. I would love to see Roscoe Parrish and Terrence McGee break some long returns.

The Bills are treating this game like a playoff game. Jacksonville is in the wild card hunt also and needs this game just as bad as we do. To be successful, the Bills offense must not turn the ball over and the defense has to get some sort of a pass rush against Garrad. This is going to be a tough game but hopefully we can come out victorious. My prediction….Bills 20 Jaguars 17.

Hello Bills fans. For the second straight week Marshawn Lynch will not play. Anthony Thomas will get the start and Dwayne Wright will be the backup. I would really love to see the Bills give Fred Jackson a chance. Jackson has the speed and elusiveness to pickup some big gains. Hopefully we can run the ball this week against a tough Jacksonville defense.

J.P. Losman will make his fourth straight start. He is looking to rebound from last week’s shaky performance. Look for Losman to air it out in this game because he knows the team needs this win and his job is on the line. I hope he has a great game because I feel that he gives us the best chance to win down the stretch. Losman just needs to improve his accuracy and decision-making. Many experts feel that Trent Edwards has a greater upside than Losman. Although I do like Trent a lot, he is still a rookie and will go through some growing pains. I just want this team to decide on a quarterback and go with it. Lets play to J.P’s strengths and launch the ball to Lee Evans and Roscoe Parrish.

Roscoe Parrish needs to be used more in this offense. Although he is undersized, Parrish makes up for it with his quickness and elusiveness. It almost seems that there is a chance that every time he touches the ball he can go the distance. I want to see the Bills run some end arounds and quick slants to Roscoe. He deserves to have the ball in his hands more. Using Roscoe will open up some big plays for Lee Evans and Josh Reed.

The offensive line must have a strong game this week both in pass protection and run blocking. The Jaguars have a very strong defensive line that does not give up yards on the ground. Our offensive line must give Losman time to throw the ball and try to get some push so A-train has some holes to run through. This is going to be a tough task for the big guys. Lets Go Bills. Beat the Jaguars.

Hello Bills fans. I am embarrassed to put the final score as the title. Losing by 46 points at home is just pathetic. I watched the entire game and was thinking to myself is New England really this good. I mean I know they have dominated almost everyone they played but we were home and coming off four straight wins. I couldn’t understand where that intense defense was. It seemed that everyone took the night off. The only highlight of the night was J.P. Losman hitting Roscoe Parrish with a 47-yard bomb to bring the Bills within a touchdown. That was quickly erased when the Pats marched down the field to make it a 14-point game. Our defense couldn’t get off the field on third downs and let Brady pass at will. He had all the time in the world to sit back and find Moss. It was a very frustrating game to watch. Our offense played scared and our defense look defeated after the first quarter. It might have not made a difference but Marshawn Lynch was extremely missed. It was almost like we went into this game knowing we were going to lose. I put some of the blame on the entire coaching staff. Losman threw a pick on the first drive setting the Pats up with great field position. You cannot give teams like New England those opportunities. We started off the game with a great pass for a first down and then it all fell apart. Anthony Thomas started for Marshawn Lynch and didn’t fare to well. His best run of the night was called back due to the extra lineman the Bills put in not declaring himself an eligible receiver. Whatever could go wrong went wrong in this game. I really thought this team was going to put up a fight and keep this one close. I like every other Bills fan was dead wrong. I always thought that losing a close game was worse because you always feel that your team will pull it out. A blowout loss is just as bad if not worse because the game is not enjoyable. I love the Bills and hope this loss makes the team work even harder. As a die-hard fan, I hate to see the Bills lose. My Monday was miserable not only because of the game but everyone I know bringing it up. Hopefully Coach Jauron will get this team to forget about this game and look forward to beating Jacksonville. We are still in this one. We need to start a new winning streak this coming Sunday. Lets Go Bills.

Hello Bills fans. Tomorrow the New England Patriots travel to Buffalo to take on our Bills. It’s going to be a crazy crowd for this Sunday night showdown. It will be a very tough to shut down the undefeated Patriots. Lets hope our defense shines again in a primetime game. Here are the key matchups to this week’s game.

Tom Brady vs. Bills defense: Tom Brady is going to be extremely hard to contain. His offensive line gives him all the time the world to find his receivers. Aaron Schobel, Chris Kelsay, Ryan Denney, and Anthony Hargrove need to get pressure on Brady and force him to make errant throws. If we can apply pressure early and often, look for our secondary to come up with some interceptions.

J.P. Losman vs. Patriots defense: Losman needs to have a big game this week. He must be decisive and accurate. He has to get Lee Evans, Josh Reed, and Roscoe Parrish the ball. I feel that Evans will as always be the go to guy. Look for J.P. to throw some underneath routes and also get the tight ends involved. I think Losman is up for the challenge and wants to beat the team that sidelined him for a few weeks. With Marshawn Lynch being out, J.P. will have to be on his game.

Patriots Receivers vs. Bills secondary: In my opinion this is going to be the deciding factor. Can the Bills secondary shutdown Randy Moss and company? I would say they can and will. Jabari Greer and Terrence McGee need to be physical against Moss & Co. all night. Whether its jamming them at the line or pushing them out of bounds. Just something to get them out of sync. Look for Donte Whitner to make some crushing hits on Moss and Wes Welker. Whitner has been great all season long and is overdue for an interception. Free safety George Wilson has also been great in run support and stopping the long ball.

Ok this is a huge test for the Bills. We need to get going early and force New England into third and longs. Our offense needs to produce long scoring drives to keep Brady off the field. We also need to create some turnovers and put our offense in position to score. I feel that we are going to pull of this upset. My prediction….Bills 24 Patriots 21.

Hello Bills fans. If Marshawn Lynch does not play, J.P. Losman will need to put this team on his back and lead us to victory. Losman will have to be accurate and decisive. He has to not only hook up with Lee Evans, but also get Josh Reed and Roscoe Parrish involved. The Bills might have to rely on the pass and J.P. needs to take control of this game. I believe that Losman wants this game real bad because of the cheap shot he received the first time these two teams played back in week three. Offensive coordinator Steve Fairchild needs to open the playbook and let Losman throw early and often. This game will show how far this team has come this season. The home crowd will definitely help and will hopefully cause fits for the Pats offense. I hope the crowd is even louder than it was at the Monday night game. Of all the Bills games I have been to, the Monday night game was the craziest. Everyone was into it the entire game. I hope we make a couple of big plays so the crowd stays into it. Lets go J.P. I know you have it in you to lead us to victory. Go Bills.

Hello Bills fans. This was an extremely ugly game but hey we got the win. Thank God for Marshawn Lynch. His touchdown and two-point conversion run tied the game at 10 in the 4th quarter. The defense unlike the offense came to play today. They came up big even though they were on the field all game. Chris Kelsay’s sack on Cleo Lemon in the endzone got the Bills on the board in the third quarter. Although the defense gave up a lot on the ground, the secondary held Miami’s receivers in check. Jabari Greer and Terrence McGee both had pass breakups. Lynch ended the day with 19 carries for 61 yards. I really thought he was going to have over 100 yards today but the Dolphins defense keyed on him. J.P. Losman struggled for almost the entire day. He started off the game 0 for 5 and looked very indecisive. Lee Evans had 4 catches for 65 yards. He should have had a touchdown but Losman under threw him in the endzone, which lead to an interception. Even though the team struggled especially the offense, we came out with the victory. Good teams find ways to win and we dug down deep today and pulled this one out. Losman did make a few plays down the stretch and got us in field goal range to win it. Roscoe Parrish also had a tremendous punt return to set us up at midfield. We now have a four game winning streak. 5-4 sounds pretty good to me especially after the way this season started. I give a ton of credit to players as well as the coaching staff. Our defense plays hard the entire game allowing us to have a chance in games. They haven’t allowed a fourth quarter point in the last four games. Lets Go Bills. Ugly but great win.

Hello Bills fans. This week the Buffalo Bills travel to Miami to take on the Dolphins. The Bills come into this game with a three game winning streak and look to make it four against the winless Dolphins. The Bills need to win this game to improve their record to 5-4. Here are the key matchups to this week’s showdown.

J.P. Losman vs. Miami Defense: Losman needs to have another big game to show the coaching staff that he is the long term answer at the quarterback position. Look for J.P. to find Lee Evans early and often. He will also need to be smart and not force any throws. I also feel that tight end Robert Royal will have a big day because the Dolphins will be focusing in on stopping Evans. Hopefully Josh Reed and Roscoe Parrish are able to play because both players are listed as questionable. If either Reed or Parrish is unable to play, practice squad call up Justin Jenkins must fill in the slot receiver role. I would love to see J.P. throw for over 300 yards and a few tds.

Jason Peters vs. Jason Taylor: This will most likely be the matchup of the day. If Peters can shutdown the speedy pass rusher Taylor, Losman should have enough time to find the open receiver. The offensive line as a whole has been playing well and need to continue that this week. We need to pass and run block effectively against a good Dolphins defense.

Marshawn Lynch vs. Miami Defense: I’m going to say that Marshawn will have his second 100 yard game this week. Last week he had a fantastic game and only seems to get better as the season wears on. The offensive line must open some holes up and Lynch has to pick up some big gains. Look for Lynch to score a few times on the day. I just love the way he plays and he is probably one of the toughest to tackle in the league.

Ok Bills fans after this team started 0-3; I didn’t think we would be at 4-4 going into this game. We need to win this won before we take on the Patriots next week. I have confidence in this team and feel Coach Dick Jauron will have them ready to play. My prediction…Bills 24 Dolphins 10. Lets Go Bills. Please bring home a victory.

Hello Bills fans. Tomorrow the Cincinnati Bengals travel to Ralph Wilson Stadium to take on the Bills. This is an extremely important game because if we win we are at .500. Our defense is going to have a tough task keeping Chad Johnson and TJ Houshmandzadeh in check. I think we are up for the challenge. Here are the key matchups to the game.

Chad & TJ vs. Bills secondary: This is probably going to decide the game here. If Terrence McGee and Jabari Greer can limit Chad and TJ we should be able to win this game. Carson Palmer is a really good quarterback and knows how to find his playmakers. That is going to be extremely tough because both receivers are having great seasons. Look for Donte Whitner and George Wilson to make some crushing hits on both wideouts. I think if we can shutdown one of them we will be alright.

J.P. Losman vs. Bengals defense: J.P. needs to have a big game to convince the coaching staff that he is the guy. The Bengals defense is injury riddled and we should be able to run on them. Hopefully Marshawn Lynch can pickup some big gains, which would in turn open up the passing game. J.P. needs to be smart and not try to force balls into coverage. Look for Lee Evans and Roscoe Parrish to catch a couple of long balls. Josh Reed also needs to be involved because he is a great runner after the catch.

Special Teams: It looks like this week our special teams should be able to have a good day. The Bengals rank near the bottom in the league in special teams. Hopefully Terrence McGee and Roscoe Parrish get big returns on both kickoff and punts. I would love to see Roscoe bust one because he is such an electrifying runner. Lets hope we can get points on offense but I will take points were ever we can get them.

Although the Bengals are 2-5, they are a very dangerous team. Running back Rudi Johnson is going to play this week. He is a tough guy to bring down. Carson Palmer has two really good wide receivers and it will be tough for us to cover them. Aaron Schobel and Chris Kelsay need to get pressure on Palmer and force him to make some bad throws. We will need to create some turnovers in this game. My prediction is Bills 24 Bengals 17. Lets Go Bills. Bring home a victory.

Hello Bills fans. This week should be the game where we have an offensive explosion. The Cincinnati Bengals don’t have the greatest defense in the league. J.P. Losman needs to air it out and hit Lee Evans and Roscoe Parrish with the deep ball. I wish we could get the tight ends involved more in the passing game. Robert Royal disappears at times and Michael Gaines has too many drops. I guess they are both good blockers but we need a good receiving tight end. I do like rookie Derek Schouman. I feel that he can be a good option for J.P. this week. The Bills use Schouman in the H-back role. He has played well there since his call up from the practice squad. The Bills haven’t had a good tight end since Pete Metzelaars. We also have to find a way to get Marshawn Lynch more receptions. He has a nose for the first down marker and the endzone. Lets hope offensive coordinator Steve Fairchild gives J.P. the green light to throw the ball deep. I also feel that if J.P. has a good game he will get the start next week. I feel that we will be just fine this week with J.P. at the helm. I have a ton of confidence in him to bring home a victory. I know that I will be supporting J.P. and I’m sure the fans at the Ralph will be also. Lets Go Bills. Please bring home a victory.

Hello Bills fans. The Buffalo Bills defeated the Jets today 13-3. Trent Edwards started the game and went 14-21 for 130 yards and one interception. He left the game at the end of the third quarter with a wrist injury. J.P. Losman came off the bench and went 3-5 for 113 yards and a touchdown. His 85-yard bomb to Lee Evans put the Bills ahead to stay. He also threw a bomb to Roscoe Parrish that was on the money but Parrish couldn’t hold on. Losman came in and drove the team to two scoring drives. Marshawn Lynch had 21 carries for 80 yards. As always all of his yards were hard fought. The offense was really sluggish today until the 4th quarter. We had a great opening drive that lasted over ten minutes but couldn’t put the ball in the endzone. Rian Lindell was perfect on the day going 2 for 2 on field goals. The defense had another tremendous game. What can I say, it just seems that we are getting better and better on the defensive side. Aaron Schobel had a sack and two forced fumbles. John DiGiorgio led the team with 13 tackles. Kyle Williams and John McCargo contributed with some great tackles. Angelo Crowell had a big sack knocking the Jets out of field goal range. Anthony Hargrove and Chris Kelsay had solid games applying pressure on Pennington. Defensive coordinator Perry Fewell really has these guys playing hard. Terrence McGee and Jabari Greer held Coles and Cotchery in check. Our special teams also played great. Our punt and kickoff coverage was phenomenal. John Wendling had two special teams tackles. I was very nervous during this game because it was close up until Evans touchdown. Our young team is finding ways to win close games. Something that was a tough task only a few weeks ago. Lets Go Bills. Thanks for the win
