Buffalo Bills @ Miami Dolphins NFL Week 4 Preview
The Buffalo Bills inexperienced Offensive Line has been serious problem for the Bills, so I was not surprised at all to see the saints abuse Trent Edwards Blockers for four sacks on Sunday. The Dolphins have the horses to get to the quarterback consistently, so there might be too much pressure in Trent Edwards face for Terrell Owens to see a ample amount of touches. and you know what happens when Owens numbers are limited. The Bills get back Marshawn Lynch back from suspension, but that is not always a good thing. Well, it can be if Head coach Dick Jauron keeps Fred Jackson as the starter and allows Lynch to plow away on short-yardage situations. Jauron may not be cunning enough to to realize that Fred Jackson is his most talented Offensive player. The Dolphins stop the run very well, so they need a pass catching running back like Jackson to move the chains. Lynch will not be a effective option. The Chad Pennington injury will not affect the dolphins offensive game plan with Chad Henne as quarterback. The Dolphins will run the football out of the standard wildcat formations, having there quarterback convert third downs. This will be effective because the Bills defense is 24th against the run. Therefore after a interception for a touchdown last week Chad Henne came back to lead the Dolphins on 10 play 76 yard touchdown drive. as long the running game is working, I don't see how Henne can be any worse than Chad Pennington would be in the contest. Henne actually has good arm strength, so unlike Pennington, he can stretch the field. Given the Bills will be missing Donte Whitner and Leodis McKelvin, this could be a huge problem. The public and the a proud Buffalo Bills fans are all over the Bills because Pennington is out. If you are betting I will be all over the Dolphins because I love betting on a team starting a backup quarterback against the Buffalo Bills for the first time in a so-called underdog role. Take the Dolphins in a upset 17-13
Buffalo Bills Blitz NFL Week 4 Picks
The first pick of week 4 NFL Picks on Buffalo Bills Blitz. Take the New Orleans Saints (-7) over The New York Jets. The New York Jets continue to run through there competition with a dominating defense while, New Orleans saints are a offensive Juggernaut. Something will have to give when these two teams meet in the battle of the Bayou. The key the game will be the Saints wide Receivers versus the Jets suffocating secondary. Drew Brees only used four Wide Receivers against the Buffalo Bills, something will need to change if they expect to win. The Jets Cornerback, Jets Lito Sheppard and Derrell Revis will be tested on every down. The Saints defeat Jets 31-21. The Second pick of the wek is Oakland Radiers (+9) over Houston Texans. The Oakland Raiders have offensive problems ranking 31st in the NFL. The Raiders have a nice stable of running backs and are one of the most effective teams running the football but, without a balance attack it is going to be tough sledding over long haul. The Texans have had problems scoring at home averaging 15 points a game. The Texans have a explosive offense under the leadership of Matt Schawb and Andre Johnson who are one of the top combinations in the NFL. The Texans will defeat the Raiders 27-20. The third pick of the week is take the Miami Dolphins(-2) over Buffalo Bills. The Dolphins have lost there starting quarterback Chad Pennington but, they will start the new era Chad Henne a second round draft from Michigan. Henne will start his first game against a Bills football team who has trouble with quarterbacks who start there first game. The Bills lost 29-27 Cleveland Browns on Monday Night Football when Brady Quinn engineered his only win as a NFL Quarterback. The Bills last week had trouble scoring on offense last week against a Saints defense that was giving up 24 points game before meeting the Buffalo Bills. The Bills Quarterback Trent Edwards did not complete one pass to Terrell Owens breaking his 185 game pass catching streak. Take the Dolphins in a close football Game. The Dolphins Defeat Bills 17-13.

Buffalo Bills Are Mentally Weak Football Team
The Buffalo Bills have proven over the last 10 years that they are a mentally weak football team and organization. During the last 10 years the Bills have one notable win against a great football team and that was the Lawyer Milloy game when the Bills defeated Patriots 31-0. The Bills tend to collapse under pressure when they are playing a good football team. The Bills choked away the regular season opener Monday Night against the New England Patriots 25-24. The Bills Choked away another Monday Night Game against the Dallas Cowboys 25-24 with six Cowboys turnovers and the Bills still found away to lose. During the Jauron Administration the Bills choking away football games has become a epidemic and that us why he should be fired as Buffalo Bills Head Coach. This football team rarely makes a big play against a great football team at a pivotal point in the football game. The Bills had a excellent chance of beating the Saints but they could not make a play on offense against a mediocre defense that was gashed for almost 400 yd. by Kevin Kolb of the Eagles in his first start. The Detroit Lions scored 24 points against this defense with there rookie quarterback Matthew Stafford. Finally, the New York Jets made a change in By bringing in Rex Ryan who has already changed the culture within the Jets organization. The Jets are the same football team with a few additions at quarterback with Marc Sanchez and Bart Scott at Linebacker. The Owner Ralph Wilson need to clean house and bring in a coach that can teach the Bills how to be mentally tough football team.

Buffalo Bills Lose New Orleans Saints 27-7
The Buffalo Bills lose to New Orleans Saints 27-7 at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Buffalo, New York. The Buffalo Bills could not stop the vaunted Saints Offense in the fourth quarter which controlled the Football Game. Brew Brees 16/29 172 yd. put on another command performance on his way to breaking Tom Brady record of 50 touchdown passes in a single season. The Saints scored on there first possession with a L Hamilton 1 yd. touchdown run. The drive was 10 plays 82 yd. in 4:56 to take a early 7-0 lead.The Bills finally, got on the scoreboard in the second quarter with fake filed goal. Buffalo Bills punter Brian Moorman threw a 25 yd. touchdown pass to Ryan Denney to tie the score 7-7. This would be the only touchdown of the day by the Buffalo Bills pathetic offense. The Saints finished off the first half scoring with a John Carney 27 yd. field goal. The Saints opened up the fourth quarter scoring with a Pierre Thomas 34 yd. touchdown run which capped of a 3 play 66 yard drive in 1:15. The Saints next possession in the fourth quarter finished with a Jon Carney 35 yd. field goal drive: 9 plays 49 yards in 4:01. The Saints scored on there next possession after the Bills turned the football over on downs. The Saints scored on a Pierre Thomas 19 yd. touchdown to finish a dominate performance by the New Orleans Saints in the fourth quarter outscoring the Bills 17-0. The Star of the Football Game was Pierre Thomas who finished the with 14 carries 126 yd. rushing. The New Orleans Saints rushed for 222 yd. which is a total surprise to all football fans all across America. The Saints finished the football game with 378 total yd. while, the Bills pathetic offense had 243 yd. The Bills Defense played a solid game for three quarters but collapsed in the fourth quarter under the pressure of the Saints explosive offense because, they received no help from the Bills offense. This is another home loss to a good football team under the Dick Jauron Administration. I expected the Bills to lose this football game because they always lose to superior football teams. The Bills will never win as long as Dick Jauron is the Head Coach Of The Buffalo Bills. The Bills will probably finish the season 6-10 and the Bills will re-sign Terrell Owens.

Buffalo Bills Biltz Week 3 Stone Cold Lock NFL Picks
Buffalo Bills Blitz Week 3 NFL Picks. The First pick take the Green Bay Packers (-9) over St. Louis Rams. The is no question that the Packers are a far superior football team. The only question is will the Packers be looking ahead to the next game against the Minnesota Vikings. Take the Packers to win the game 31-17. The Second pick take the Tennessee Titans (+3) over New york Jets. What the Titans backers have to understand is that this game is also an important game for Jets. The Titans are 0-2, but they are considered among elite teams in the NFL, so the Jets are not going to roll over. In fact that is why I think this will be a tough football game and the Titans will defeat the New York Jets 20-13. The third pick take the New York Giants (-10) over Tampa Bay Bucs. The Bucs defense is terrible they game up 438 yards aginst the Buffalo Bills mediocre offense. The Giants will also have there All-Pro Defensive Lineman Jason Tuck said he will play in the contest. If Tuck is in the game the Bucs will not be able to run the football. Eli Manning is playing at a MVP level early in the season. If the Giants show up this should be a easy Giants victory. The Giants will crush the Bucs 31-10.

New Orleans Saints @ Buffalo Bills NFL Week 3 Preview
The Buffalo Bills get back to back home games in Week 2 and week 3. The Bills will have to be ready for a high-flying scoring affair against the Saints who ended the 2008 season top 5 in all passing categories. Sounds like a Terrell Owens type of football game. Terrell Owens and Lee Evans should have a field day against the Saints suspect Secondary. The Bills will Defense will be under extreme pressure by the best offense in the NFL. Drew Brees already has 9 touchdowns after two games this season and he, is on pace to break Tom Brady record of 50 touchdown passes in 2007. The Saints offense is scoring over 45 points per game and they seem unstoppable with all the weapons they have on offense. The Bills will have to put pressure Drew Brees with the front four because blitzing him is futile. Unfortunately, that is not a realistic proposition because Buffalo has just three sacks this season and they will be going up against a elite offensive line. The front line is elite even without Jamal Brown, because Jermon Bushford is doing a excellent job fill in . Bushford has given up one sack in two regular season football games. So, if the Bills can't contain the Saints they will have to match the Saints point for point. Again, and that is not realistic. I like Fred Jackson and I believe that he should be the starter running back when Marshawn Lynch returns. However, the Saints defense is only given up 2.9 YPC this year. That is no fluke. The Defense is vastly underrated, so Trent Edwards will have to move the chains on his own. The experts believe that the Saints will obliterate the Bills, but I fell the Bills will play a solid football game against the Saints. The Saints will win a shootout 34-24 in Ralph Wilson Stadium.

Buffalo Bills Crush Tampa Bay Bucs 33-20
The Buffalo Bills beat Tampa Bay Bucs 33-20 at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park, New York. The Bills starting quarterback Trent Edwards had a solid football game throwing the football to Derek Schouman, Terrell Owens and Lee Evans. Trent Edwards finished the 21/31 230 yds. 2td 1 int. Trent Edwards opened up the Bills scoring early in the first quarter after a Brian Scott interception with a 32 yd. touchdown pass to Lee Evans. The Bills scored again quickly when Tampa Bay quarterback Byron Leftwich threw his second interception on consecutive possessions to Donte Whitner which was returned 76 yds. for a touchdown and the Bills took a early 14-0 lead. The Bills added on to there first quarter lead with a Rian Lindell 21 yd. field goal making the score 17-0. The Bucs made a furious second quarter comeback behind the leadership of Byron Leftwich who finished the game 26/50 296 yds. 2td. 2int. Byron Leftwich opened up the Bucs scoring with a beautiful 42 yd. pass to Kellen Winslow Jr. which cut the Bills lead to 17-7. The Bucs scored again in the second quarter after a Fred Jackson fumble when Leftwich threw a 8 yd touchdown pass to Cadillac Williams which cut the Bills lead to 20-14. The Bills finally, opened up second half scoring after a 13 play 64 yd. drive which ended with a Rian Lindell 27 yd. field goal to increase the Bills lead to 23-14. The "Nail" in the Bucs coffin came on the Bills next possession in a 2 play 54 yd. drive which was capped off by the play of the game when Trent Edwards hit Terrell Owens on a 43 yd. touchdown pass to increase the Bills lead to 30-14. The Buffalo Bills star of the game was Fred Jackson who had another excellent game in the absence of Marshawn Lynch. Fred Jackson had his best day as a Buffalo Bill. Fred Jackson carried the ball 28 times for 163 yds. and he, controlled the football game for the Buffalo Bills. Fred Jackson finished the first half with 97 yds. rushing which helped Trent Edwards when he was struggling with the Bills passing game. Fred Jackson helped seal the game on the final drive when the Bills drove 6 plays 55 yds. which ended up with a Rain Lindell 20 yd. field goal. Fred Jackson has been the star of the Bills for the first two weeks and he, has earned the starting Running back position even when Marshawn Lynch returns from his suspension. The Bills defense had a solid football game getting two turnovers that led to Bills touchdowns. The key to the Bills victory is the Bills defense held the Bucs running game to 57 yds after getting 173 yds. against the Dallas Cowboys. The Bills finished the game with 218 yds rushing which they will try and duplicate next week against the high-flying New Orleans Saints. The Bills also, got two much needed sacks from Marcus Stroud and Ryan Denny which helped stop Tampa Bay drives. The Bills finished the game with 438 yds.- Bucs 353 yds. Finally, the Bills should enjoy this win after the heartbreaking loss to the Patriots. The Bills must start preparing tonight for the Saints because they seem like they are unstoppable on offense.

NFL Picks Week 2, 3 Free NFL Picks on Buffalo Bills Blitz
The first pick of the week on Buffalo Bills Blitz is Green Bay Packers (-9) over Cincinnati Bengals. If you are going to get beaten, Cincinnati, Get beaten on a last second 87 yard touchdown reception. Just take the Packers the Bengals are a bunch of clowns. The second pick of the week is Dallas Cowboys (-2.5) over New York Giants. In the past four months Tony Romo has divested himself of Terrell Owens and Jessica Simpson. no wonder he seems so happy while playing football. Romo spread the football around to eight different receivers which will help the Cowboys become a better football team. The final pick of the week is Buffalo Bills (-4) over Tampa Bay Bucs. I look for the Bills to win a close football with a late touchdown pass to Terrell "Crybaby" Owens.. The Bills will have a hangover from there disappointing loss to the New England Patriots 25-24. If it is worth nothing that the Bills are 11-3 against the number in there last 14 weeks contests and are 4-1 in the last five games following a defeat I expect Buffalo to bounce back strong.

Bucs @ Bills NFL Preview: A Must Win For Both Teams
The Bucs were victimized at home by the Cowboys 34-20 while, the Bills were heartbroken on the Road against the Patriots 25-24. As both Tampa Bay and Buffalo set there sights on major opening day upsets, both teams fell short and find themselves starting at an 0-2 start. For the Bills, it is a bit tougher. Not only do they have recover from there heart wrenching loss there hated rival, the New England Patriots, they have to do it in a short week. Tampa Bay battled the Cowboys tooth and nail, putting up big numbers on offense, but special teams and mental breakdowns in the team's secondary led to there demise. When t he Bucs head to Buffalo for the first time in franchise history, they bring with them the knowledge that both squads are better than previously believed. But each have flaws they need to solve if they are going to have a competitive season. The Bills Defense contained Brady and Moss for 55 minutes on there Monday Night Match up. By the end of the game the Bills surrendered 366 yards passing and two painful late touchdowns. If Tampa Bay proved anything on Sunday, it is that they can move the ball through the air or on the ground. Byron Leftwich stood in the pocket delivering strikes to Michael Clayton, Kellen Winslow and a cast of characters. The Bills had a solid game on offense with new Offensive Coordinator Alex Van Pelt mixing up the plays. The no-huddle offense did a excellent job keeping the Patriots defense off balance. The new Bills Offensive Coordinator played to Trent Edwards strengths as quarterback. The Bills through a lot of short passes to Fred Jackson and there Tight Ends. This week the Bills will try and get the football down field to Terrell Owens and Lee Evans and exploit the Bucs defensive backfield that was torched by the Cowboys last Sunday. Finally, the Bills will have to slow down Cadillac Williams if they expect to win the this football game. The Bills held to Patriots 3.2 yards per carry and only 77 yards rushing. The Bucs running game rung up 173 yards against one of the best defenses in the NFL. I expect the Bucs to upset the Bills 20-17 at Ralph Wilson Stadium.

Buffalo Bills vs.New England Patriots Preview
The New England Patriots, defense will have a distinctly different look to begin Bill Belichick's 10th season in Foxborough, but the three time Super Bowl Champions will be happy to have a familiar face again at the helm of there defense. Tom Brady will back under the center to open the season Monday Night after he missed nearly all of the year due to injury, and he will be hoping to lead the Patriots to an NFL-record 12th straight win against a single opponent. That foe is the AFC East rival Buffalo Bills, who will feature newcomer Terrell Owens in a offense that still has plenty of questions to answer after it's was fired a week before the game. Backup Quarterback Matt Casssel played well in his absence as New England became the second team to miss the palyoffs after going 11-5. The Patriots will also, be curious to see what kind of defense they have after mainstays Mike Varbel, Rodney Harrison, Teddy Brushi and Richard Seymour all departed via trade or retirement. Seymour was surprisingly dealt to Oakland for a 2011 first round pick. The unit will take a much younger look, led by Jarod Mayo, the NFL top rookie of the year. New England also, seems to to have improved its secondary after adding Cornerbacks Leigh Bodden and Shawn Springs after drafting safety Patrick Chung with its first pick early in the second round. We have a lot of good leaders on our team and especially on the defensive side of the ball,"Belichick said."No doubt about it, it is different, but I think it is good. Whoever has played for the Patriots has been good enough the last 11 times they have faced Buffalo-and often by a wide margin. The average score during the streak is 29-9 and New England outscored the Bills 94-17 in the two wins the last time Brady faced the team in 2007. Buffalo added the flamboyant wide receiver Terrell Owens following it's third straight 7-9 season, but it's offense has hardly clicked. After Offensive Coordinator Turk Schonert installed a new no-huddle attack during the off season, the first team managed to three points in 15 preseason series, and Schnoert was fired on Sept. 4. "(Bills Coach Dick Jauron) wants a pop Warner offense, "Schonert said. "He limited me in formations and limited me in plays. Schnoert was replaced with former Bills quarterback Alex Van Pelt who is still expected to employ a no-huddle offense. This is going to be a little bit of a transition for us, "Owens said. We have to take accountability we have to go out there and jell with one another and go out there and play. Asked Wednesday if he liked playing without a huddle, Owens said, "No, not really I gotta deal with it. "Owens later posted a note on twitter insisting that he was "clearly joking". Trent Edwards will be the newest quarterback trying to get the ball to Owens. Edwards lead the Bills to a 4-0 start last season before they stumbled down the stretch, losing eight out of there last ten games. He will begin this season without his starting running back Marshawn Lynch was suspend for the first three games after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor gun charge. Dick Jauron has returned for his fourth season as Bills head coach even though his contract ran out last season, and he may be under pressure to show some early signs of progress. Finally, the Bills have lost 15 out of the last 16 games and I see no difference in this upcoming AFC East football game. The Patriots will defeat the Bills 34-17.

Buffalo Bills Demetrius Bell The Man Of The Hour
It takes an awful lot of faith in a young inexperienced player to make the kind of move the Bills made on Tuesday with in releasing seven-year veteran Langston Walker. But the Bills coaching staff in there belief Demetrius Bell can make the Offensive Line better. "I feel comfortable with him in there "said Offensive Coordinator Van Pelt, He is a great athlete, a great talent. The only thing he is lacking right now is experience and he will get tons of that coming up real quick. We like as a player, Obviously, and I have the ultimate faith that he will get the job done for us."I actually got a call last night from Langston last night when he told me he was being released, "said Bell. The situation was he just told me he was being released and he was coming to clean out his locker and told me to have a good year."Bell felt Walker took the news relatively well as he expressed confidence that he would get on a roster somewhere in the league. Bills Head Coach Dick Jauron admitted Wednesday that they may have overestimated Walker's ability this off season to switch from the right side to the left side replacing Jason Peters. "Probably, "said think Jauron. "We clearly thought that we could move him and he would do the job. He was just not playing up to our expectations. So we felt like it was time to make that move. Alex Van Pelt has already come up with ways to put the young Lineman in position to succeed with his game plan for the Patriots. We will have to protect Bell, Andy Levitre and Eric Wood? Yeah sure Van Pelt we will,"Van Pelt said. We will when Shawn Nelson will be out there-we have got to keep it where we are doing things that they can do well and kind of help them out along the way, too, as they feel there way. After practice on Wednesday, Bell and Levitre felt good about about there pre-snap communication and execution. During preseason we took some snaps, and in training camp those snaps add up too, said Bell. I am comfortable beside him and know when we get a game or two under our belt it should be A-plus work every time. He has been in our system for a year and he knows what is going on and we have played next to each other in a couple of games, said Levitre and Bell. "We have been alongside one another in practice, so it is nothing new. I think we are doing a fine job and we both understand what is going on out on the field so, it is going to be easier than most people think it is going to be. He is a good player, a very athletic guy and I am looking forward to playing next to him. That is why Bell is determined to show Buffalo's coaching staff they were right to put there faith in him and have high expectations despite his short NFL resume.

Buffalo Bills Cut Dominic Rhodes And Curt Chambers
The Buffalo Bills surprised everyone by releasing Dominic Rhodes because, many observers thought that he, would be a solid backup to Fred Jackson during Marshawn Lynch three game suspension. Dominic Rhodes was beaten out by second year running back Xavier Omon as the team reduced their roster to 53 players on Saturday. The Bills also. put James Hardy on the PUP list for the regular season and he will not be able to practice with the team for the next six weeks. James Hardy the second year receiver can start practicing on Oct. 19 with the rest of the team. In another surprise cut Chris Chambers who has served as the Bills swing Tackle for the past two seasons was also among the veterans released. The Emergence of second year player Demetrius Bell helped make the veteran Offensive Lineman expendable. In addition to Chambers and Rhodes the Bills cut 18 players: 1. QB Matt Baker 2. LB Alvin Bowen. 3. DE Copeland Bryan 4. TE Tyresse DeVree 5. DE Ataefiok Etukeren 6. G Christian Gaddis 7. CB Cary Harris 8. WR C. J. Hawthorne 9. OT Nick Hennessey 10. WR Felton Huggins 11. DT Derrick Jones 12. DT Corey Mace 13. LB Ryan Manalac 14. TE Johnathan Stupar 15. OL Brandon Rodd. Finally, why is Ryan Denny and Chris Kelsey still on this football team when they can't put any pressure on the quarterback from the Defensive End position. The Bills could have save some money under the cap by releasing Denny and Kelsay and kept Copeland Bryan who was improving every game this preseason. The Bills are wasting time and money keeping these two bums on there roster.

Davis 79 yd. touchdown run right after the kickoff by the Bills. The Bills offense was terrible again with there second string quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick 9/17 78 yd. 1 int. Girban Hamdan 9/17 163 yd. 1 int. The Bills had some explosive plays on offense when Justin Jenkins caught a 44 yd pass and Stevie Johnson also caught a 33 yd pass that lead to the Bills scoring drives. The Bills also had three turnovers against the Lions which is the third straight preseason game the bills lost the battle in turnover margin. The Lions finished the last preseason game with 422 yd. of offense and Bills finished the game with 322 yd. The Bills are horrible on offense and I can't explain why Dick Jauron did not play Trent Edwards and the first team offense after there shut out loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers. This team is in no position to take a night off because this mediocre football team that has no rhythm in there no-huddle offense. Finally. I will pray for Bills fans all around the country because it seems like it is going to be 10 years without making the playoffs.
