How Trent took the news
Head coach Chan Gailey was asked how Trent Edwards took the news that he was being released by the only NFL team he had ever known. “First of all you probably need to ask him,” said Gailey. ”He handled it very professionally just as he handled the demotion the week before. He is a guy that [...]
Possible Trent landing spots
There are a number of places where Trent Edwards might land in the NFL now that the Bills have released him. Naturally going to a team where the offensive system is completely different would represent a catching up process of sizable proportions. Everyone remembers the process Brian Brohm had to go through when he came [...]
Trent’s record 2007-2010
Trent Edwards’ release might be surprising to some, but it was clear his career was headed in the wrong direction in Buffalo. A change of scenery may prove to be just what the young quarterback needs to rebuild his career. Here’s a look at his record as a starter for the Bills year by year. [...]
L.T. Jets starting RB?
When the Jets signed LaDainian Tomlinson, he was viewed as a complementary back to youngster Shonn Greene, who would be in for third down packages. That changed Sunday night in Miami. L.T. not only started, but got the bulk of the work in the run game carrying 15 times for 70 yards and a touchdown. [...]
No Revis vs. Bills Sunday?
Jets top CB Darrelle Revis missed New York’s Sunday night victory over the Dolphins with a hamstring injury suffered in Week 2 against New England. Now there’s speculation that he’ll also miss this Sunday’s game against the Bills in Buffalo. ESPNNewYork’s Rich Cimini provided his hunch on Revis’ availability for Sunday’s game at Ralph Wilson [...]
Throwback jersey week
Just a reminder to all fans that are attending this Sunday’s AFC East tilt with the Jets at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Have your blue throwback jerseys ready for Sunday’s game. This Sunday is one of two home dates where the Bills will wear their blue throwbacks jerseys with their white helmets with the standing red [...]
C.J.’s return yards set mark
C.J. Spiller set a rookie team record with the yardage he compiled on his kick returns Sunday. Spillers five returns for 189 yards was the third highest in club history and established a new club rookie record. Spiller already owns two of the five highest kick return yardage days by a rookie in team annals. Here’s the [...]
Bills ‘D’ puts it on them
After several instances in which they’ve held their team in games only to see the team come up short, the shoe was on the other foot Sunday as Buffalo’s defenders felt terrible about surrendering 38 points to the Patriots. “The offense gave us 30 points…30 points…30 points… and there is no excuse for us,” said [...]
Stevie’s TD act penalized
Stevie Johnson’s 37-yard touchdown reception, which made it an eight-point game late, also had a creative touchdown celebration. Unfortunately for Johnson he also got docked 15 yards after officials deemd it excessive. First of all I will say I applaud Stevie’s creativity. After scoring he found himself right next to the Patriots’ Minutemen, who line up along [...]
Notes on Spiller’s 2 TDs
C.J. Spiller joined some limited company in Bills history with his kick return TD and receiving touchdown in Sunday’s game. C.J. Spiller became only the second Bills player ever to have a receiving TD and KOR TD in the same game. The first was Charley Warner, 12/19/65 against the NY Jets. Spiller is the sixth Bills [...]
Explaining the double TO
Near the end of the first half the Bills were not allowed to call a double timeout, but were not flagged for the infraction. It was similar to what the Dolphins did in Week 1 against the Bills. Head referee John Parry for Sunday’s game spoke to a Boston pool reporter to get an explanation [...]
Bills Inactives

Urbik active
For the first time this season the recently signed Kraig Urbik is active and Jamon Meredith is not, which could mean some changes among the O-line reserves today. The swing tackle is probably rookie Cordaro Howard. Kraig Urbik has played tackle, but not since his freshman year at Wisconsin. Urbik has been taking snaps in [...]
Pats LB a game time decision?
Patriots ILB Brandon Spikes was added to the injury report on Friday as probable with a calf injury might be more iffy than some might think. ESPNBoston.com’s Mike Reiss is reporting that several New England assistants just watched Spikes trying to warm up on the field. New England just promoted LB Shawn Crable from their [...]
Spiller pulls in to Gillette
The players are rolling in to Gillette Stadium on the team bus (10:30 am) including C.J. Spiller, who sounds ready to go. CJSPILLER Heading to stadium for another day at da office should be an interesting one. I get play against a guy who went my high skoo. Go bills #21 Spiller is referring to [...]
Kawika already in position
Bills LB Kawika Mitchell might not be playing for the rest of the 2010 campaign, but it doesn’t mean he’s not fired up for today’s game. Mitchell is already in position in front of his television more than two hours before kickoff ready to root for his teammates. KawikaMitchell #BEATTHEPATRIOTS #LetsGoBuffalo Mitchell is on [...]
Pats add LB
The Patriots had an open roster spot after placing RB Kevin Faulk on injured reserve this week and they’ve filled that spot prior to Sunday’s game. New England promoted LB Shawn Crable from their practice squad to the 53-man roster. Crable is a former 2008 draft pick of the Patriots, but has yet to appear [...]
Gailey on Maybin
Aaron Maybin has not seen a lot of time on the defensive side of the ball the first two weeks of the season. Head coach Chan Gailey made the situation plain as far as his outside linebacker is concerned. “Obviously he’s got to get better versus the run,” said Gailey. ”That’s the thing he is struggling [...]
Ed Wang update
Bills fifth-round pick Ed Wang shed the giant club he was wearing in practice the past few weeks to protect his surgically repaired thumb. However, according to head coach Chan Gailey he’s still not ready to use that hand like a normal offensive lineman. “I think we’re a few weeks away from that,” said Gailey. ”He’s [...]
Gailey on Pats young CBs
The Patriots, with the loss of veteran Leigh Bodden to a season-ending injury in the preseason are starting a rookie (1st round pick) and 2nd year (former 2nd round pick) player at cornerback. Will the Bills be able to exploit that inexperience this week? Chan Gailey offered his take on the young Pats CBs. “Most [...]
