I agree with you about Evans. This hasn't been the first time this season that Evans had only 1 reception in a game. While I think Evans is a very good #2 WR, he's not a true #1 WR. Good points about the offense, a few more playmakers and we'll have one of the best offenses in the league. With Easley, I hope he turns out to be a good ,instead of a Chad Jackson who only looked good in OTA's & training camp.

Agreed. Plus, I'd like to see Moats & Coleman lined up at DE to see if they can get some pressure on the QB (since no one on the defense can).

I'm glad you didn't accept the bet, because I'd be out $100 bucks. Sorry for coming across as a douche. I did not expect to the Bills to be 0-5 at this point. I expected some growing pains with the defense, but this is ridiculous. The offense looks much better with Fitz in there compared to the previous seasons under Edwards & Losman, but even Fitz is not the franchise QB the Bills need.

http://www.nfl.com/players/peerlessprice/profile?id=PRI272527 Peerless Price 2002 stats as the #2 WR on the Bills: 94 receptions, 1252 yards and 9 TD's Peerless Price's 2003-2004 stats as the #1 WR on the Falcons: 64 receptions, 838 yards and 3 TD's 45 receptions, 575 yards and 3 TD's Just because a WR has 80 catches and 1300 yards one season, doesn't mean that automatically makes him a #1 WR for the rest of his career.

I agree 100%

People are acting like Lynch is a 1,500 yard 12 TD+ a season RB. Sorry, but the last best RB we had was Travis Henry who had seasons of 1,400+ and 1,300+ yards rushing. I know everyone likes to gauge RB's at 1,000 yards a season, but that's only 62.5 yards a game. Plus, Lynch was a troublemaker...the hit & run, the incident in Cali, the 20 dollar stuff at the McKinely Mall. One more incident and Lynch will be suspended for a year. Next to go should be Evans who has quit on the Bills. Get some more picks for him as well. So far this year, 10 receptions for 94 yards, that's only 23.5 yards per game, that's absolutely pathetic for a guy that's getting paid over $9 mil a year.

From Tim Graham's twitter page: "For you Bills fans out there, team source tells me Fred Jackson has been named the starter at running back." Maybe he'll get 20-25 carries a game again.

People are complaing that Buffalo only got a 4th and a 6th round picks for Lynch, but Arizona got a 3rd and a 4th for Boldin...

We all know Evans is a class act. He doesn't get in trouble and is not a locker room cancer. Evans is definitely a fan favorite. Even with that said, when you pay a guy $9+ million a year, you want to see results, not excuses. So all of the other bad games Evans had were Edwards' fault? Sure, that's right, blame it all on Edwards, he's the scapegoat. I don't think you got Jerry's point with Losman. Losman loved to throw the deep ball, which is Lee Evans' key play. Lee wanted Losman over Edwards. Look at the difference in Evans' stats from when Losman was on the team, to after he left.

http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2010/10/4/1729740/three-good-and-three-bad-jets-38-bills-14#storyjump "Performance from certain players: Someone tell me why Lee Evans can't catch the ball all of a sudden. For someone that Chan Gailey is clearly trying to utilize more, and that many prognosticators surmise is wasting away in Buffalo, you would think Evans welcomes the work and would make the most of his opportunities." "Buffalo receivers not named Evans: Steve Johnson responded to his benching well. He's starting to become the possession receiver that Gailey thinks he can become. David Nelson is a find as an undrafted rookie free agent. He beats coverage and gets open, catches the ball, and can even run after the catch. Good thing that Nix didn't get rid of Roscoe Parrish. He wasn't up to his standards so far against the Jets, but he consistently gives Buffalo a chance by providing good field position on punt returns." You make some great points, Evans numbers have dropped off big time since his contract extension & also since his buddy left.

But it's the QB... But it's the O-line that's not giving the QB enough time to throw the ball... It's the other WR's fault for not taking the double coverage off of Evans... It's the NFL's fault for banning stick-um... Enough of the excuses people, Evans has given up on the team. Demote him to 4th or 5th WR for the rest of the year and either trade him or cut him at the end of the season.

Gailey looked thoroughly disgusted in press conference today. With an 0-4 start and his worst in his professional career, you can tell Gailey is really pissed off. If the Bills do not improve, do you see Gailey cleaning house? (Meaning a high turnover in players and coaches)? IMO, yes, you can tell Gailey puts a ton of effort and hard work into the team and is really passionate about what he does. I can see a lot of players cut and most likely new defensive coaches in here as well. With the Jags beating the Colts today, the Bills could go 0-5. If that happens, expect a shakeup at the bye week.

OMFG! Are you f@!king serious? Kelsay along with Maybin & Whitner need to get cut.

I'm just wondering why our 3rd round draft pick, Alex Carrington has been inactive the last 3 weeks? Did he do that bad in preseason to be inactive? So far, Stroud has been getting pushed around at DE and has not looked good. Also, McCargo looked good in preseason as well, but he's been inactive. Thoughts or insight anyone?

From what I've seen, No, but then again, it's been hard to tell with Edwards getting sacked or running for his life behind that terrible O-line.

Gotta agree. 2 weeks in a row the offense has looked pathetic.

Someone asked about Hardy before, so here's an update. From Adam Schefter (per twitter): "Receivers were busy trying to find work Tuesday. Seattle worked out former Bills WR James Hardy."

While the Bills offense was offensive, the rest of the team looked really good. Defense & Special Teams played really well. Special Teams tightened things up from preseason and did not let any returns for big yards. The defense did a great job. They held the Dolphins to 13 points, kept the Miami run game in check and contained Brandon Marshall. Now, it's on Gailey to get the offense going. Let's see if he can make the right adjustments, like he did in preseason from the Skins to Colts games.

"It's a huge blow to the Jets, and a possible career-ender for Jenkins, who considered retirement after last year's torn ACL." Even though I though like the Jets & think they're a bunch of arrogant SOB's, I hate to see anyone get injured, especially a potential career ending injury.

+1 I know the Bills were hoping Schobel would come back and give them a decent pass rush, but since he couldn't make up his mind, the Bills had no choice but to move on without him. Nix's experience came from San Diego, well, if he can draft a Merriman type player for the Bills next year, that would be phenomenal.

Post of the day! That was a great analysis of the defense, thank you for that!

I thought this was another post from Benjamin Barker, guess it's his clone.
