Two Bills Drive

‘Two of the Bills games will be broadcast nationally on ESPN: at Jacksonville on Oct. 18, marking only the second time Buffalo has played on a Thursday night, and at San Francisco on Dec. 2.’

‘The NFL schedule will be out today. Here’s what we know now. The Bills will play at Miami on in Week 2 at 1:00. The Jets will be in Buffalo on Oct. 7 at 1:00 and The Bills go to NY on the last game of the year on Dec. 30 at 4:05’

14: Bills, Marcus Stroud, DT Georgia

Stroud is not the 14th-best player, but he is what the Bills need in terms of size and strength at defensive tackle. Why wait?

‘Rob Johnson is making excellent progress in his quest to learn the new West Coast offense that Williams is installing… Johnson threw the ball well and seemed to have a grasp on what was going on. Since then, he has shone brightly in meetings and throwing sessions and Williams is excited about the way he has picked things up.’

‘Buffalo Bills 8-8, Damione Lewis DT Miami (Fla.); Bills need a replacement for departed NT Washington.’

‘The NFL will be releasing it’s schedule today at 2:00 pm. Stay tuned to TBD to get your first glance at the Bills’ schedule. TBD will soon be picking the game for readers to attend our annual tailgate party. Last year we had fans from as far as Alaska and San Diego attend!’

‘The move was expected as team President and General Manager Tom Donahoe had expressed his desire to take another veteran quarterback into training camp to compete with Alex Van Pelt for the backup to Rob Johnson.’

‘The Buffalo Bills will be in the market for a few after losing defensive end Marcellus Wiley to San Diego and releasing nose tackle Ted Washington. The team also could lose versatile Shawn Price, an unrestricted free agent. Fortunately for Buffalo, this draft should provide some reinforcements.’

‘The Bills are also expected to select a quarterback in next week’s NFL draft, giving them four for training camp.’

‘Rob talks about offseason work, and weighs in on the extremely important and attention-grabbing bandana issue.’

‘Peerless tells what waiting on draft day was like for him.’

‘Gonzalez entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with Pittsburgh in 1998. After sitting out all of 1998, he appeared in one game in 1999, completing one pass for eight yards. He was released during the off-season. Gonzalez spent training camp last year with the Indianapolis Colts before being waived in August.’

‘One look at the Buffalo Bills’ roster should tell you what they are looking for in the NFL draft on April 21-22. Salary cap cuts and free agent defections have created glaring needs at defensive line, offensive line and cornerback.’

‘Wright did speak with Pittsburgh after talking with Cincinnati and Seattle. However, the Steelers lacked upfront money under the salary cap.’

‘There’s a risk to signing a 33-year-old, 350-pound defensive tackle with 10 years of NFL wear-and-tear on him–even one as good as three-time Pro Bowl player Ted Washington. But the Bears figured the price was right to take the chance.’
