--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.

Congrats Perry on your first win! 
I am use to seeing the Bills playing a great first 3 quarters and a tired, over-worked defense lose the game in the 4th quarter. It was great to see the long ball. Isn't that why we paid Owens $6 million to come to Buffalo. Great to see

Many fans are disgusted with the Bills playing home games at the Roger Centre in Toronto but let's look at why it is. Players have gotten greedy and demand top dollar to play in Buffalo. Football fans are reluctant to go to Ralph Wilson Stadium as the fans behave in poor fashion. When the fans of the Bills tailgate hours before kickoff and ...(more)

Normally with the Phins coming into Buffalo with the weather turning cold and gray the Bills should be the favorite. Not this year the Dolphins are a 3 1/2 point favorite, honestly I'm surprised that it is not more. The Bills O-line is in complete shambles due to injuries, the lin ...(more)

Just interested in seeing how many of you Fans actually pick the usual bottom feeders to beat Miami this week. An if you do predict Buffalo to win dont base it on the fact thast Buffalo plays Miami tough. I know its gonna be hard to find another reason to base this upset but im sure you can find something good in your team. Or maybe you cant i dont.

As for me i see this 1 being a little

Best wishes to former U of L offensive lineman Eric Wood. He suffered a horrific injury yesterday -- compound fractures to his tibia and fibula during Buffalo's game at Jacksonville.

According to a story in the Buffalo News, Wood remained in Jacksonville after the team returned to Buffalo to undergo surgery.

Well it appears that Perry Fewell will be coaching the final 7 games as an audition to remove the interim from his title. It was reported that Mike Shanahan is a choice for the Bills to replace Jauron with but I think that if the Bills finish well under Fewell that he stays on and takes the head coach job. It is also sounding like the Bi ...(more)

To me this is it for Edwards hes got 7 more games to prove he can be the Q.B of the Bills if not then i say trade or draft a new Q.B. Yes McCoy is probabably out of reach and to me tim tebow will fail in the NFL. Sam Bradford might be there for us and possibly Snead from Ole Miss.

Many will probabaly say im stupid fo ...(more)

(POLL) With all the holes in this team: O-line, LB, DE, TE, QB. I would love to say that we can address them all, but realistically we can not. What good does drafting a QB in the first round if you can not protect him. With Edwards as a back-up, do we keep Fitzpatrick for 2010? Two games does not equal success.

Keep the Bills in Orchard Park!!!  Even if we have to keep Mr. Wilson alive via life support! One of the oldest teams in the NFL with arguably the "best fans" deserves to stay put. Can't see myself flying to Toronto to cheer on the "Toronto Bills."

I think this should really be the goal at this point. It seems like a long-shot, but I truly BILL-lieve. Generally, we will need a few of the equally horrid teams to win a few more games and the Bills to lose out. Here are the factors:

1. Bills losing out. This could easily be accomplished. All of their games except one are again

The question then becomes, is Mike Shanahan interested in the Bills? Adam Schefter reported that the Bills had contact with him to fill the coaching vacancy. This would become one of the better moves the Bills front office has made, and if they do it, one of the last. Shanahan is one of those guys that not only coaches the team, but control ...(more)

Cowher - Said no...for now. He supposedly turned down 10 million a year. My guess is that he is waiting to see if there is a better job out there for next year (more ready to compete team). Is he interested in Washington?

Schottenheimer - I dont think he is interested in anything at all. Of course that could be just courtesy talk. According to ESPN, he doesnt want to coach or GM.....but

Hey Bills fans,

I'm going to my first game in Orchard Park this weekend. I went to the game in Toronto last year but it didn't have a home game feel at all. I felt bad you lost a home game to such a crappy atmosphere. So this year I 'm going to the game in Toronto again but had to catch a game in Orchard Park.
