Buffalo Bills Slammed Green Bay Packers 31-21

The Buffalo Bills lose to the Green Bay Packers 31-21 in Legendary Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Bills played there second game without there Flamboyant Wide Receiver Terrell Owens who is out with a nagging toe injury. The Bills also, played without there newly signed first round draft pick Aaron Maybin who missed the Bills extended training camp because of a highly publicized contract dispute. The Buffalo Bills look like the worst team in the NFL. Trent Edwards was horrible completing 7/11 45 yds 1 int. The Bills Offense could not move the football with any consistency on the Packers new three-four defense. Dom Capers the new Defensive Coordinator for the Packers has his, young defensive playing with a lot of intensity. On the Bills first posession Brady Poppinga picked off a Trent Edwards pass and returned it to the Bills 41 yard line. The Bills Defense came up big with a fourth and one stop at the Bills 16 yard line when Keith Elision stopped Ryan Grant. The Bills second possession turned into a nightmare when Trent Edwards fumble the football at the Bills 5 yard line after a Johnny Jolly sack and fumble recovery by A. J. Hawk. The Packers Cash in the opportunity with a Aaron Rogers 5 yard touchdown pass on a quick slant pattern to Gregg Jennings. The Bills third possession ended with a punt and the Packers quickly drove the football 6 plays 79 yards and ended the drive 3 yard touchdown by Ryan Grant. The Bills fourth possession ended with a Fred Jackson fumble which was recovered by Brady Poppinga at the Bills 41 yard line. The Packers cashed in again with a Aaron Rogers 5 yard touchdown pass to Donald Driver. Aaron Rogers finished the first half 8/9 98 yards 2 td. and he looked like he was in mid-season form against the Bills hapless Defense. The Bills ended the first half with a Ryan Fitzpatrick fumble and Mason Crosby 36 yard field goal. The Bills opened up the second half scoring with a 12 play 60 yard drive capped off with a 9 yard touchdown pass to Johnathan Stupar. On the drive Ryan Fitzpatrick completed a 15 yard pass to Felton Huggins and 17 yard pass to Johnathan Stupar to set up the touchdown. Ryan Fitzpatrick finished the game 12/16 112 yards 1 td. 1 int.

Gibran Hamdan also, drove the team 6 plays 74 yards and capped off the drive with a Bruce Hall 1 yard touchdown run. Gibran Hamdan finshed the game 7/11 137 yds. The Bills stars of the game Ryan Fitzpatrick, Gibran Hamdan, Johnathan Stupar and Xavier Oman had a excellent game the rest of the team was garbage. The Bills are the worst coached team in the NFL and Dick Jauron should be the first coaching causality of the year. The 2009 edition of the Buffalo Bills will not make the playoffs with this inept coaching staff. This team has not improved over the last five years, because this team lacks the discipline to be a contender in the AFC. The Bills finished the game with 363 total yards 5 turnovers and 11 penalties 118 yards. This is a typical Dick Jauron coached Football team.

Buffalo Bills Aaron Maybin Agree 5 Year Deal

The Buffalo Bills and first-round pick Aaron Maybin have reached a five year deal, according to team sources, ESPN Insider Adam Schefter. Maybin is expected to arrive at the Bills training facility in Orchard, Park New York, on Friday to sign the deal. He will not travel to this weekend's preseason game at Green bay Packers. Maybin, a Defensive End from Penn State and the 11 overall draft pick missed all of training camp. The Bills are counting on him to shore up defense that tied for the fifth fewest sacks in the NFL last season with 24. The agreement leaves two first round draft picks: Offensive tackle Andre Smith, who was taken No. 6 by the Cincinnati Bengals, and Wide Receiver Michael Crabtree, the No. 10, pick of the San Fransisco 49ers.

Buffalo Bills Backup QB Ryan Fitzpatrick "Learning Fast"

Early in training camp there were concerns by observers outside the organization about the depth of the Bills truly had behind starting quarterback Trent Edwards. Both Ryan Fitzpatrick and Gibran Hamdan did not get off to the best start in training camp in late July. Fast-forward to Mid-August and Fitzpatrick has settled into his new offensive system with its up tempo approach and had a sharp night of execution against the Chicago Bears in Buffalo's second preseason game. Ryan is doing a great job now, said "Trent Edwards. "He is communicating very well with me when I am on the sideline and then when he is going in there he is doing a great job running the offense and that is a credit to the type of player he is. He is picking up the offense very fast and that is because he, is just a smart football player, that is why we bought him in here. Fitzpatrick does not deny that his play was not consistent in the beginning as he wanted it to be, but things are rounding into form for him. I fell better now than in the beginning . I am sure that will continue as the season progresses, "Fitzpatrick. "There will always be some bumps in the road but I will adjust. Fitzpatrick was extremely efficient against the Chicago Bears going 13-16 146 yards and a 103.9 passer rating. On the three possessions that he ran he put 10 points on the scoreboard and likely would have had more if Roscoe Parrish did not fumble at the Bears 16 yard line and Felton Huggins would have been able to come up with a fade pass in the endzone. It is definitely important, "he said. "Usually you will see more field goals in the preseason. You don't have many special packages. We had a couple on Saturday and the guys up front did a good job and that lead to success. He can put the ball wherever he wants, "said Edwards. "He can make all the throws. Finally, where Fitzpatrick figures to be most valuable however, is in assisting Edwards in diagnosing opponents and adjusting to the change ups opposing defenses will throw at Buffalo's offense on Sundays.

Buffalo Bills Cut LS Ryan Neil And Sign LB Solomon Elimimian

In a move that came sooner than expected, veteran long snapper Ryan Neil was waived by the Bills on Wednesday following the conclusion by the team's training camp at St. John Fisher. Neil was in a heated battle with rookie long snapper Garrison sandborn, who impressed enough during a three day tryout at Buffalo Bills mini-camp to be offered a contract. By the close of training camp Wednesday, Sandborn performed so well that he convinced the Bills coaching staff that Neil was expendable. The competition between the two specialist appeared to be a dead heat throughout training camp with many observers feeling that it would be a roster position that would go down to the end of preseason. Sanborn consistent accuracy matched that of Neil and he appeared to have superior velocity on his long and short snaps. Bills Head Coach Dick Jauron paid very close attention to special teams drills when long and short snaps were part of the special teams segment, even timing the splits from snap to kick on field goals and punts with a stopwatch. Neil had controversially replaced Pro Bowl long snapper Mike Schneck. Dick Jauron had said at the time that the team was making a investment in Neil. The Buffalo Bills sign Solomon Elimimian (6'0 225) was the WAC co-Defensive Player Of The Year as a senior for Hawaii in 2008 and finished his career as the school all-time leading tackler with 434. He has experience as a outside and middle linebacker. The Bills looked as though they would be down in numbers at linebacker this weekend for there preseason game against the Packers on Saturday. Both Ashlee Palmer and Pat Thomas remained sidelined with injuries and both are not expected to play against Green Bay this weekend.

Buffalo Bills Marshawn Lynch "Redemption"

Marshawn Lynch has gone on record saying that not playing will be particularly difficult for him in the first three weeks of the regular season this fall. There are few that like suiting up on Sunday and competing more than the Bills hard running feature back. Prohibited from playing or practicing from Sept. 5 to Sept. 28, Lynch already has a plan in place on how he, intends to stay sharp while he is away from the team. It does not stop me,"said Lynch."I am just not going to be able to participate with the guys out there but as far as working out, it still continues for me. Lynch will continue with his weight room routines to maintain extra muscle he has packed on his frame this off season and has some running back specific drills that will put him into action on his own. A lot of it will be runs, set up cones down the field making moves on them, individual work, running, lifting, continue doing the same things just not too many team periods,"said Lynch. But the Bills top back is going to stay in his playbook during his league imposed down time so remains sharp with his assignments when he returns. With almost three weeks before he is forced to sit out three games, Lynch has begun the process of getting accustomed to watching his team play without him. But he plans to have himself in the proper frame of mind for his forthcoming absence from the team. I have sometime to get mentally prepared for it and playing in these preseason games, I will get on the field,"he said. I don't think too much of it will be tough. When asked is there a silver lining of his three-game-absence could be fresher legs at the end of the season, Lynch gave a shoulder shrug. Well as hard as I run, I don't know if there will be fresher legs, "said Lynch."But they will be pretty ready. Stay out of trouble Marshawn.
