It definitely looks like the Bills are bringing in a lot of guys in for tryouts. I'm glad to see it. Gailey did say they're always looking to to improve and upgrade the team and he's living up to his word. What I like about Nix & Gailey, is that they are quick to get rid of the players that aren't working out (Like Trent Edwards & Cornell Green).

http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2010/12/14/1875470/report-bills-to-sign-ol-colin-brown-former-chief-and-raven With Cordero Howard most likely going to IR, looks like the Bills are trying to add to their O-line with Colin Brown. Brown is 6'8" 325 lbs. While Brown has played Guard, he sounds like he would be a good fit at Tackle. Also, Chad Rinehart (who was just activated from the practice squad) impressed Gailey with his play on Sunday and will be the starting RG this Sunday. I have to give credit to Nix, Whaley & Gailey for picking up players that can be effective while they are losing their starters to injury. http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2010/12/13/rinehart-to-start-at-rg/

IMO, Fitz has been improving and with more time, will continue to improve. Remember, Fitz was getting reps with the 2nd team in training camp & through the preseason. He was the backup to Trent Edwards for the first 2 games of the regular season. Also, Bills do not have a true #1 WR and don't have a solid pass-catching TE. So, with all of that, I'd say Fitz is doing very well with the tools he has to work with. It's unknown at this point if Easley can become the Bills #1 WR or if Steve Johnson can, but I'd like to see what Fitz and Gailey can do once the Bills have a real #1 WR & a good pass catching TE in place.

The 2010 Bills are not blowing 4th quarter leads like during the Jauron era. The Bills are playing their best football in the 2nd half of the ball games.

Excuses, excuses, excuses....

Enough of making up excuses for Evans. This year and part of last year, he's had a QB that can spread the ball, plus a #2 WR to take pressure off of him, but Evans is still underproducing.

I hope Florence gets resigned. I like Youboty, he does make plays when he's out on the field on healthy, but his main problem is that he can't stay healthy. IMO, the Bills bigger priority on defense is getting better players on the front 7. I hope eventually they do get a shutdown corner to replace McGee (or if it's McKelvin), but I'd rather see a dominating pass rusher first.

My vote is for "Yes and he should be cut in the offseason". I will admit, McKelvin does has talent, but he is way too inconsistent and has cost the Bills numerous games over the last 2 years with his reckless style of play. Today, he had three costly gaffes: Going for the INT instead of swatting the ball away, the fumble on the kickoff deep in our zone and the pass interference penalty on an overthrown ball in the end zone. I don't ever want see McKelvin handle another kickoff or a punt return ever again. I hope McKelvin gets benched and Youboty takes his place.

I forget, was McKelvin responsible for 14 points or 21 points against? First, it was terrible coverage on the Rice TD, second, was his fumble on the ensuing kickoff, third, his pass-interference penalty on an over-thrown ball in the end zone which put the ball at the 2, instead of it being 4th down. I don't ever want to see him take another kickoff or punt return in a Bills uniform EVER AGAIN!!! I hope McKelvin gets benched and Youboty takes his spot. McKelvin is too inconsistent and his reckless style of play has cost the Bills numerous games over the last 2 years. Is it safe to call McKelvin a bust yet...?

In the 2nd half, the announcers kept mentioning about Rapelisbergers right ankle non-stop. It was almost getting to the point of the Bills/Pats game when Bruschi came back from his steroid induced stroke.

Congrats to Alex Carrington in getting his first NFL sack, and helping K. Williams finish off Rapelisberger for Williams' 2nd sack of the day. Looks like D. Edwards is out for a while (most likely, the rest of the season), so Carrington should get more playing time. Hopefully, with Carrington getting more experience, this will help in his development and maybe he'll get a shot at starting next season.

I'll be honest, I've been an Evans basher and this post is more of the same. After the last few weeks, with the emergence of Steve Johnson, I've been giving credit to Evans for still posing as a threat and getting coverage away from Johnson, D. Nelson & D. Jones. Today, Evans was terrible. Evans couldn't beat single coverage, dropped passes, only had 1 rec for 9 yards, and lost a fumble. While I do give him credit for recovering Jackson's fumble and making key blocks on the Jackson 65 yard TD, I still think the Bills need a better option at the #1 WR position. Evans is getting paid way too much, too be producing the kind of numbers he's getting. I do like the direction Gailey the offense pointing. I do hope Gailey gets a #1 WR and a pass catching TE. Add in a solid Tackle and I think the Bills will be set on offense. I don't know if Steve Johnson can become that #1 WR next year. Plus, there's also Marcus Easley waiting in the wings, so the Bills have some unknowns still. IMO, I hope Nix trades Evans in the offseason.

I agree. Chan has these guys competing with the top teams in the league and are just coming up short, compared to getting blown out. IMO, add a pass catching TE & another tackle, and we should be set on offense.

It seems Johnson is streaky, he didn't play good vs the Lions, but rebounded strongly vs the Bengals. Hopefully he'll rebound again and have a strong game next week . While it sucks to lose, no one should be down on the Bills. Most people expected the Bills to get their butts kicked, but they almost beat another tough team in the NFL (again).

Damn!!! So close! This is the season of should of, could of, would of....

I hope Stevie is okay!

Go Action Jackson!!!!

Not only can't Evans catch a ball in key moments, he fumbles the ball away.

Carrington has his first sack before Maybin. It would have been nice to see Maybin get his first sack as well.

Congrats to Carrington with getting his 1st sack (and being in on another).

http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2010/11/23/1832207/bills-waive-ot-cornell-green-off-injured-reserve Glad to see the Green experiment come to a quick stop.

Damn, last I heard he was on IR for the year? When did Cincy pick him up? Ya know, Easley & TO look a lot alike?

I'm glad it took only 2 games for Cooter to realize that Edwards is not a guy that can lead a pro-style offense in the NFL. I feel comfortable for now with Fitz as the starting QB and hopes he continues to progress.

I'm just going to enjoy how the Bills are (and have been) playing. I'd rather not make a prediction again and be disappointed, so if the Bills finish strong, then at least that's a positive going into the offseason.

Exactly!! That's why I like Cooter (Gailey) so much, he's playing the better player, no matter where they were drafted. Jauron always played the veteran or the higher draft pick, even though there were better players on the bench. It took injuries to get Fred Jackson & Jabari Greer on the field.
