Title: Bills Team Report
Post by StegRock on Jul 16th, 2010, 12:58pm
QB situation really is (still) in a tizzy (since Jim Kelly left)... [smiley=stars.gif] From "The REAL Feed":

Bills QB situation as muddled as ever (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/13644093/bills-qb-situation-as-muddled-as-ever/rss)
CBS SportsLine.com - Columns by Pete Prisco (15.07.2010 22:01)
The void continues to be unfilled. Since Jim Kelly retired, the Bills have had a revolving door at quarterback. Even though little has changed, Buffalo hopes incumbent Trent Edwards can emerge, Pete Prisco says.

RB Jackson to miss extended time...  Currently atop "The REAL Feed":

Fred Jackson of Buffalo Bills needs further testing on hand (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/trainingcamp10/news/story?id=5463565&campaign=rss&source=NFLHeadlines)
ESPN: NFL (14.08.2010 10:40)
Bills running back Fred Jackson will have further tests to determine the severity of a hand injury that will force the starter to miss at least the remainder of the preseason.

Guess Lynch may not be rushed out of town, which many sources have suggested, after all...

Jackson and Lynch out for remainder of preseason... according to what's currently atop "The REAL Feed":

Report: Ailing Bills RBs Jackson, Lynch out for rest of preseason (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d819c5831/article/report-ailing-bills-rbs-jackson-lynch-out-for-rest-of-preseason)
NFL.com (15.08.2010 14:50)
It's a good thing the Buffalo Bills used their first-round draft pick on a running back this year. They will need one during the preseason.

Looks like Spiller will get a chance to test his mettle early and often...

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- Brad Smith's coming to Buffalo, and the wildcat can't be far behind after the multitalented offensive player agreed to a four-year contract worth about $15 million with the Bills.

There is an outside chance Smith could become their #1 wideout. [smiley=radar.gif]

As much as I do not want to admit it because I like Fitzpatrick, I do not really think he is an NFL-caliber starting quarterback.  We will see this year.  But, as such, this signing is well worth noting and keeping in your back hip pocket.  From "The REAL Feed":

AS an Eagles fan, I sure hope they got a draft pick out of this deal that has not been disclosed.   If not, I just don't understand giving up Shady for a LB who did not play last year.   Chip Kelly may just destroy the Eagles.

What the fuck is the Bills coaching staff thinking?   Peterman for Tyrod Taylor?   4 Interceptions in the first half.   Many mishandled snaps.   Why is Peterman still in the game.  

The Bills were in the drivers seat for the playoffs.   UNBELIEVABLE.  

The ONLY justifiable explanation to me is that Taylor broke team rules or something.
