Jene Bramel ‏@JeneBramel 1m Bills listing Stephon Gilmore as starting corner, with Byrd/Williams starting at safety. Also have Bradham over Moats at LB.

Buffalo Bills ‏@buffalobills 42s Doug Legursky will start at LG for the #Bills Mike Rodak ‏@mikerodak 1m Bills announce that Doug Legursky will start at left guard. Bills expected to rotate him and Colin Brown today.

Buffalo Bills ‏@buffalobills 1m #Bills WR Stevie Johnson is inactive #CINvsBUF

Although his numbers are very good, can it really be considered a "career" year? Through 5 weeks in 2011 he was at or near the top of every statistical category by which RBs are measured.

I got the text from the Bils app--- when it started: "Ralph Wilson, Jr. has guaranteed the purchase...", for a split second, my heart started racing.

To be honest, the current incarnation of Sabres Hockey Hotline does kind of suck because Kevin Sylvester is ingratiating as a host and utterly ill informed on the finer points of the game. Andrew Peters adds nothing but hot air. If Brian Duff were the regular host, I'd listen every day. My selfish personal preference would be that the Bills show ran from 10-Noon--- but, that's not practical for a variety of reasons: I think John Murphy airs at night because the Bills practice during the day, giving him daily topics to discuss with adequate prep time--- the Sabres generally play at 7pm, so it is totally logical for them to NOT do a simultaneous talk show. Of course, I prefer Hockey Hotline to air as an extended postgame show as in the days of Mike Robitaille and Brian Blessing. But neither WGR nor the Bills/Sabres check with me first before setting their programming schedule.

Weren't the Bills asked to participate 2-3 years ago and they refused?

You're trying pretty hard to be bothered by nothing--- especially if you saw it live in all it's innocuousness.

How is he still eligible?* Jeff Russo ‏@JeffRussoWKBW 15s Source: Bills are expected signed QB Dennis Dixon to practice squad *(apparently, he only spent 1 season on Pittsburgh's Practice Squad and has only been active for 4 total games--- so, he still has PS eligibility)

The full exchange was a lighthearted postgame conversation between Kiko and his college teammate and friend, TJ Ward. Kiko wasn't "talking trash" but he also wasn't going to give any ground to his friend. That's all. It went like this: Ward to Alonso: we're a better team though. Alonso: we lost our QB. Ward: we lost our QB too. Alonso: I don't know, your offense is suspect. Ward: it was a good game.

You're right, he should have committed seppuku at midfield. It would be the honorable thing to do.

Jason La Canfora ‏@JasonLaCanfora 22s Josh Freeman is going to MIN. Expect him to be starting there soon. BUF signing Pat White. OAK wanted Freeman and had visit set w/White Mon

ProFootballTalk ‏@ProFootballTalk 37s Josh Freeman is going to the Vikings per league source.

That new bit at the end is very telling. The combination of the D getting healthy and the Pats & Dolphins both losing is blood in the water for Whaley/Marrone. If nothing else, it will motivate the roster.

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 51s From @mortreport and me: Bills intensifying efforts Sunday night to sign former Bucs QB Josh Freeman. Vikings, Raiders also interested.

Kluwe is better at this point, but maybe they have more confidence in Moorman's ability to punt in the elements. Kluwe punted in a dome--- I have no idea how well he kicked late in the year in Green Bay, Chicago, etc.

By mere seconds!

Jason La Canfora ‏@JasonLaCanfora 5m In addition to working out QBs Pat White and Dennis Dixon, I hear exBills P Brian Moorman is in the building. Hmm, they just cut a punter... Jason La Canfora ‏@JasonLaCanfora1m I think they might end up playing some Peaches and Herb while eating chicken wings at the Bills' facility today with Moorman

According to Schefter, the Bills are talking to Freeman: http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9777191/buffalo-bills-working-qbs-pat-white-dennis-dixon-source-says
