Bills report: Notes, quotes

--WR Lee Evans has suddenly disappeared from the Buffalo offense. The Bills' primary passing-game weapon was invisible in the loss to Cleveland and was held without a catch for the first time in 68 games by a Browns pass defense that ranked 21st in the league entering the Monday night game. Evans now has only six catches for 63 yards in his last three games. It did not help that QB Trent Edwards endured one of the worst games of his career and never seemed capable of finding Evans, but Evans is clearly not getting open. "We need to look at some tape and fix some things here, and see if Lee's open on any of these plays," Edwards said.

--SS Donte Whitner tried his best, but in the end, it could end up costing him more lost playing time. Whitner suffered a separated shoulder on Nov. 2 against the Jets and sat out the Bills' loss to New England. But with the team playing on Monday night, against his hometown Cleveland Browns, Whitner made it a priority to put aside his pain and play. He made it through the first half but never came out of the locker room after the break as he apparently re-injured the shoulder, and this time it could be worse. The Bills also lost starting CB Jabari Greer in the first half to a leg injury, and he could not finish.

Coach Dick Jauron would not elaborate, but he termed the injuries "significant" and that can't be a good thing.

--Rookie CB/KR Leodis McKelvin made quite a prime-time debut against the Browns. He scored the first touchdown of his NFL career on an electrifying 98-yard kickoff return, and he also had returns of 38 and 49 yards. His 185 return yards set a Bills rookie record and tied for the third most in team history. With 1,073 yards on the season, McKelvin is now just 133 yards shy of breaking the team rookie record for kickoff return yards in a season set by Eric Moulds in 1996. The overall record is 1,391 yards by Terrence McGee in 2005.

"I've been waiting for that chance since Week 1," McKelvin said. "If you look at some of the games, I've been one play from scoring. I was just telling the guys, 'Y'all do a great job of blocking for me, I'll get one.'"

The Bills' average drive start after Cleveland's seven kickoffs was their own 40.

<p> I have pretty much thrown this season in the trash just like an old bowl of leftovers...I know it is only week 9 but the play of the offense and more specifically Trent Edwards has made me realize that we are headed towards yet another rebuilding stage.  I dont really see any sign that would justify allowing Trent t ...(more)

8 games into this season, and the Bills play a decent 3 quarters, against NE, NO, HOUSTON. The Bills have one of the worse statistical offenses in the NFL and are still in these games. Then comes the 4th quarter, might as well go home or turn off the TV at that point, because WE'VE SEEN IF BEFORE.

Has anyone listened to Terrell Owens press conference wednesday?  He basically reconfirmed that Dick Jauron is not an NFL caliber football coach.  Before I get into why I am saying this I want it to be known that this is in no way a negative post directed at T.O.  Owens was asked the question "After this season can y ...(more)

Just wondering what anyone else thinks about Fitzpatrick's play at QB.  By no means has he been putting up great numbers but he has shown that he is willing to throw the ball down the field, which I like.  I'm not talking about the 40-50 yards bombs because Edwards threw those occasionally as well, but the 10-20 yard slants and outs, which Edwards just will not throw.

I thin

<dd style="margin: 0px;"> This is from the updates above:

Bills coach Dick Jauron accepted the blame for his offense's performance today. "I think the whole thing falls on me," Jauron said. "I don't think there's any doubt. I take full responsibility for it."

vick come to buffalo good or bad idea we need a qb and it will plan out ok because our o-line isnt to strong so he can make a play out of nothing with his feet and bring back owens that will be a pretty good combo we need something because every year is the same thing by mid-season we say well next year....wont hurt anymore than what it is now and before

Hey Bills Fans,

I know how you guys feel about your team..... I'm a Rams fan so i know all about it.

That loss to Cleveland was just plain ugly.... Just like my team being Shutout twice.

I hope Ralph Wilson will fix all of the problems with this team

I heard a report Wednesday (10/28) on a DC radio station that the Bills contacted former QB Patrick Ramsey.  Anybody know what might be up with this.  Are the Bills more concerned about Edwards health than they are saying publicly?  God forbid Ramsey ever becomes our guy.

Looks like we're No Longer Doomed to post over there. Check in on this thread, then send me a private message telling me what your screen name was over there. Unfortunately there's no cursing over here, but we're all gentlemen anyway.

(POLL) With the recent Bills rumors about Vick to the bills and Whitners comments, the question should be posed to fans.  Do you want the Bills to sign Mike Vick this Offseason?
