Give Them Some Credit – Buffalo Has Done Well In Free Agency Thus Far


The Buffalo Bills have Made three free agent signings thus far in this 2010 free agency period.  Without much fanfare, Buffalo has signed OT Cornell Green, ILB Andra Davis, and DE Dwan Edwards.  While many fans are still concerned over the more glorified positions of Wide receiver and especially quarterback, Buffalo has found a way to solidify some much needed quality veteran leadership and skill without paying a hefty free agency tag.

The 2010 Fantasy Season – Bills Primer…What? Too Early?


With the 2009 season finally behind us, it is time to look forward to the 2010 season.  No, Bills fans, I am not talking about our 2010 season.  Instead let’s focus on our 2010 FANTASY season.  Last year, even though everyone was still high on Marshawn Lynch I called my shot and said Fred Jackson was the true gem in the backfield.  Not only did I write this, I even went on the radio to yell my prediction from rooftop to rooftop to find anyone who would listen.  Do I have a budding bro-mance with Fred Jackson, you better believe it.  (If you don’t believe me, read back on June 2, 2009)

Buffalo, This Time I Support Your Cheap Ways


So with free agency underway some teams such as the Bears and Lions have already made a splash.  While the frenzy began to take form and teams were shuffling to sign or at least make offers to top flight free agents, Buffalo could be seen in the back…scheduling…visits.  By doing so Buffalo has done one of two things, either came to the realization that this roster and team is in such a mess that no top free agent will even consider coming here (I mean Detroit has an easier time attracting free agents, freaking Detroit, I mean have you ever driven through there?).  In this instance they are then spending their time focusing in on attracting reasonable free agents with the hope of luring some of them to sign with this organization.  I would say that this is commendable, Buffalo finally keeping expectations nice and low.

Campbell to Buffalo? Let the Offseason Rumors Begin!


The Buffalo Bills have a rumored interest in Washington QB Jason Campbell.  The main part of this proposed deal has SS Donte Whitner being shipped to the Redskins for Mr. Campbell.  This is a tale of two former first round draft picks who have not been able to perform to the expectations of their draft position.  Does this trade make sense for either team?  First let’s look at what this deal would mean to both teams.

With the 9th Pick of the FSN 2010 Mock Draft, Buffalo Selects….Bruce Campbell


So here we are at the ninth pick of the 2010 FSN mock draft.  All along I have been writing that I would pick Rolando McClain.  Two things happened to change my mind.  The first was Oakland picked him up with the eighth pick, finally ending their streak of only looking at 40 yard dash times when selecting their next picks.  The second was some late breaking news out of Buffalo.  Right tackle Brad Butler has decided he no longer carries a flame and passion for football and would like to focus on education and his country.  Brad Butler, at the age of 26, has retired from football.

Ghosts of Drafts Past – What I Am Looking Out For As The 2010 Mock Draft Approaches


All of us folks within the Fanball network have decided to hold a mock 2010 draft.  Everyone is welcome to track our progress and opinions as to why we selected the player we did.  As the person responsible for Buffalo’s 9th overall selection it is my duty in this mock draft to pick the player I feel will provide Buffalo with the best opportunity to win.  Although, in my last article I explain which player I felt the Bills should target, and explained a little as to why that position would be beneficial to fill over the others, I want to change gears a little bit.  As I inch closer to my selection I want to make sure I not only fill a need but I also want to combine that with picking the best available player.

With the 9th pick Buffalo should select…REALLY?!?!?!?!?


The Buffalo Bills are in a tough spot this year as they head into the 2010 NFL draft.  Buffalo’s biggest issue is that they have too many holes to fill. so no draft choice will unanimously make every fan happy.  As a blogger that covers this Bills team I have my thoughts which probably make most Bills fans upset, but I do believe I have the answer for Buffalo’s first round draft choice in the 2010 draft.  First we have to look at the holes this team has.  It is safe to say that Buffalo does not have a QB for the future, heck, they don’t even have a QB for the present.  Buffalo is also in need of a player who can anchor the LT position as all of their attempts to do so last year failed miserably.  Once free agency hits, Buffalo shouldn’t be surprised to see Terrell Owens jettison for greener pastures, with the most likely destination being in San Francisco.  But, this would leave Buffalo with a need at WR, as all of their other wide outs have yet to separate themselves from the pack and display anything significant to merit a starting spot.

El Predicto does it Again.


So “El Predicto” does it again, and this time it has nothing to do with Fred Jackson.  Two weeks ago I had mentioned in detail that I felt the Buffalo Bills biggest flaw was in their lack of fundamentals but primarily their poor strength and conditioning.  Today as I read all of my Buffalo Bills related articles I stumble pass a very interesting story.  They have reported that the Buffalo Bills have recently gone out and hired not one, but two strength and conditioning coaches for next season.

Rumor Mill – Bills talk with Eagles


Now that the Super Bowl is over, let the rumor mill begin.  The latest news has Buffalo having mild discussions with Philadelphia about one of their QB’s.  Before Bills fans go crazy with the thoughts of Vick or Donovan coming to the Bills, we all need to slow down and realize that no trades can be made before March.  But with that said, Buffalo is really giving fans a reason for hope in the future.  Even though they are only having mild discussions at this point, the fact that Buffalo is going out of their way to fill the holes on their roster is a breath of fresh air.

What Is To Blame For Buffalo’s Season? I Have A Thought.


This season the Buffalo Bills have had two major problems which assisted them in heading on a downward spiral.  Buffalo faced insurmountable odds this year as they could not over come all of the injuries that they incurred.  Although Buffalo most likely would have still missed the playoffs, it is very hard to assume that they would have finished with the same record while showing no signs of progress if they were able to field a much healthier team.  The Bills coaching under Dick Jauron was not very good and does share in the blame as to why Buffalo looked as bad as they did.  But, still, even if they had depth (which they didn’t) at every position they still had to overcome far to many injuries to make a serious run at respectability this year.
