Fred feels Stevie & Kyle snubbed
Bills RB Fred Jackson felt two of his teammates got snubbed for the Pro Bowl. “Stevie Johnson. I think just with what he has done with the opportunity that he’s gotten this year.

Injury replacement the hope
With Stevie Johnson and Kyle Williams not getting Pro Bowl recognition this year despite outstanding seasons, they can only hope that they’re selected to be injury replacements. Johnson might have a better chance. Houston’s Andre Johnson, who was selected, has battled injuries all season and may choose to skip participating in the Pro Bowl. That [...]

Ryan changes mind on Sanchez
After initially learning his team was in the playoffs after the Jets’ loss to Chicago last Sunday, Jets head coach Rex Ryan said he’d probably rest QB Mark Sanchez and his sore throwing shoulder in their season finale against the Bills.

Gailey said if he can’t practice they’ll just get the [...]

Bills to run more?
The Bills were facing an average Patriots run defense (ranked 15th) to begin with, but that run front has been significantly thinned due to injury, with two defensive linemen downgraded to out. New England is down to two starting defensive linemen and only two backups with some measurable game experience. Vince Wilfork and Gerard Warren [...]
