Bills offense already working against Pats scout team
The Bills’ regular season opener is two weeks away, but the offense has already started to work against their scout team, which is giving them Patriots’ defensive looks. “It was nice to go against the scout team and get some looks that we’re going to get in a game, and I’m anxious and excited for that [...]
Walker doesn’t see offense regressing
Several players on offense were asked about the two most recent preseason performances, which have left something to be desired in terms of production. Langston Walker was asked if he sees the offense regressing since the preseason began. Here was his answer. “I don’t think it’s regressing per se,” Walker said. ”This is the preseason and [...]
Jackson practices Monday
Fred Jackson’s sprained thumb and wrist felt good enough to practice with his teammates on Monday. The joint however is still not 100 percent. “Just wanted to go out and see what we could do with it,” said Jackson. “It’s still a little sore, but it’s going to be sore and just be something I [...]
Owens toe problem was shoe related
After being full go in practice and apparently fully recovered from his sprained toe, Terrell Owens was asked if he was concerned about the injury lingering or resurfacing during the season. Owens did not think it would because of one reason. “I’ve come to find out that it was really due to the shoe I [...]
Poz, Evans don’t practice, Schobel does
Bills MLB Paul Posluszny and Lee Evans did not practice on Monday, and Dick Jauron provided details. Apparently Posluszny took a good shot to the jaw on Saturday night against Pittsburgh. “He has a jaw issue,” said Jauron of Posluszny. ”He had some stitches in his chin. He remembers the play, but said it wasn’t anything [...]
Owens is practicing
Terrell Owens is practicing with his teammates today. Regular season rules are now in effect for the media’s coverage of practice meaning we’re only exposed to the first 15 minutes each practice day. We’ll get full details from Coach Jauron after as to whether Owens practiced fully.
Mitchell not worried about no huddle impact on defense
Kawika Mitchell and his fellow starters on defense were on the field for almost 22 of the 30 first-half minutes of their game against the Steelers Saturday. When Buffalo’s no huddle attack can’t sustain drives it does come off the field that much quicker. But Mitchell doesn’t mind the offense’s approach in terms of how [...]
Reed says Edwards will get himself right
Though the faith in Trent Edwards among the Bills fan base might be wavering, it is certainly not the case in Buffalo’s locker room. Josh Reed came to the defense of Buffalo’s quarterback after another subpar performance on offense. When asked if Trent will be able to pull himself out of the two-game funk he [...]
Reed determined to right the ship
Talking to Josh Reed after the game on Saturday night, the veteran was frustrated. He believes the Bills offense is too talented to be struggling in the fashion it has the past two preseason games. Having seen too many seasons in which the offense has had trouble scoring Reed does not want to witness a [...]
LB Palmer to go
After a couple of practices late this week undrafted rookie Ashlee Palmer will play tonight. Though he’s only expected to see time on special teams coming off his ankle injury if his ankle holds up well I think he might see time on defense too. This guy was Kawika Mitchell’s backup and was playing well [...]
RB Jackson will dress
Bills RB Fred Jackson was questionable for tonight’s game, but he will dress. How much he plays remains to be seen. It’ll be interesting to see if he takes the field with his sprained wrist and thumb.

Here is OchoCinco’s tweet after he heard back from Brady. OGOchoCinco Just got a call back from Tom Brady, says he’s fine [...]
Fan Friday 8-28
Here’s the latest installment. Answered a bonus question this week. Slowly but surely catching up on your email here. Askchris@bills.nfl.net. 1. Chris, we all know that Trent is very good at passing the ball in the intermediate range (15-25 yards) and that bring in T.O. means Buffalo wants to stretch the field. Do you feel that [...]

Jackson better off sitting
Head coach Dick Jauron hasn’t officially ruled Fred Jackson out of Saturday’s game yet because he may practice on Friday, but at best he’s doubtful and I have to say I’d rest a lot easier concerning the fortunes of the Bills in the regular season if I knew for sure that Jackson will be a spectator [...]
