Following a gut-wrenching loss to the Patriots in Week 1, the Bills were back in the comfort of home looking for somebody to take the hurt out on. Unfortunately for Tampa Bay, they drew the short stick as the Bills won by a [...]

on Friday, September 18th, 2009
The Bills haven’t had a lot of time to sulk following their heartbreaking loss to New England on Monday night, but that’s probably a good thing. Working with a short week, Buffalo has been preparing for its home opener this Sunday against Tampa Bay.

This will be a weekly installment on BLD. Make sure you tune in and leave your reviews as well!
Quarterback: Trent Edwards was good enough last night to win the game. Bottom Line. He completed 15 of 25 for 212 yards and 2 TDs. Bigger statistic is what was not there – a single turnover. He [...]
The Bills lost last night in a heart-breaker to the Patriots Monday night 24-25 in Foxboro.
It was an evening that was almost magical for Bills fans. Their team was given no chance against a force to whom they had lost eleven straight, in a place where their history of success was almost nonexistent. Then, despite [...]

Fred Jackson Looks to Run Over Pats Again
on Monday, September 14th, 2009
“Fast” Fred Jackson ended 2008 with a bang, even though the Bills themselves ended with a bust.
Jackson had his most productive game of the season and of his career, rushing for 136 yards on 27 attempts. Jackson was a great complement to the Bills’ primary back, Marshawn Lynch, and will feature prominently tonight as Lynch serves [...]
The Bills kick-off their 2009 campaign tonight at 7pm against the always formidable New England Patriots. For one team, it is the year of a new superstar. For another, this season is all about the return of one.
The Patriots couldn’t be happier to have QB Tom Brady back under center. Two years removed from a [...]
I hope that Dick Jauron, Trent Edwards, and the rest of the Bills offense watched the Pittsburgh Steelers last night as they beat the Tennessee Titans in overtime.
Ben Roethlisberger ran the no-huddle to perfection late in the 4th quarter to get the Steelers, who trailed at that point 10-7, into field-goal range. By spreading the [...]

Starting LT Walker Cut, Offensive Shake-Up Continues
on Wednesday, September 9th, 2009
In another surprise move regarding the Buffalo offense, the Bills have cut starting LT Langson Walker.
The 30 year-old veteran from Cal was part of a series of signings in 2007 under former GM Marv Levy to re-tool the offensive line. Walker agreed to a then five-year deal worth $25 million. Other moves at that time [...]
Edwards: God, Is That You? No Trent, It’s Fitzpatrick
on Wednesday, September 9th, 2009
All last season Trent Edwards heard the voice of Alex Van Pelt echoing through his helmet disseminating plays and information prior to each play. With Van Pelt cozy up in the booth this year as the team’s new offensive coordinator, Trent will be hearing a new voice: backup quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. (At least it’s not [...]
Van Pelt Grabs the Reigns
on Tuesday, September 8th, 2009
The parting shouts of Turk Schonert were followed by a whisper that Alex Van Pelt, QB Coach and former Bills Quarterback, would be calling the shots. Those whispers have been confirmed.
Schonert, who blasted Jauron in the media saying “He wants a ‘Pop Warner’ offense,” and “limited me in formations, and limited me in plays,” was [...]
