Hello Bills fans.  Tonight the Buffalo Bills travel to Indianapolis to face the Colts.  This will be the first game at Lucas Oil stadium.  Trent Edwards has been ruled out for the game as he is still recovering from the thigh contusion suffered on Tuesday night.  Also out for the game are wide receivers James Hardy and Roscoe Parrish.  J.P. Losman will get the start tonight and it will be interesting to see how he plays with the first team offense.  Losman was the Bills starter for the 2006 season and had a successful year.  He started the 2007 season but lost his job to Edwards after an injury.  Losman has shown flashes but needs to get rid of the ball quicker.  The Bills need to establish the run tonight just like they did against the Steelers last week.  The starters will play at least the first half tonight.  This game will also give players on the bubble a chance to shine for the coaches before the first roster cutdown to 75 on August 26.  Go Bills.

Hello Bills fans.  It feels like yesterday that the Bills started their 2008 training camp at St. John Fisher.  I cant believe a month has gone by already.  Trent Edwards was held out of practice today with a thigh contusion.  He is said to be day to day which is great news.  Marshawn Lynch was practicing today after last nights leg to leg collison with Edwards.  Im thankful that Trent’s injury is minor and hopefully he will be full strength by Sunday.  If Coach Jauron decides to hold him out, J.P. Losman will get the start.  I really want to see how Trent performs after last weeks great game.  The starters usually play the entire first half in the third preseason game and it would be nice to see what Trent can accomplish.  Left tackle Jason Peters is still a no-show.  It has been rumored that he would report soon.  Rams holdout running back Stephen Jackson will report to Rams camp tomorrow.  This is a good sign because he has the same agent as Jason Peters.  Hopefully Peters will be back with the team because we need him for the start of the season.  Lets Go Bills.

Hello Bills fans.  I just received a text message from buffalobills.com that Trent Edwards appeared to have injured his right knee during practice tonight.  As per Chris Brown’s blog, Edwards was hit knee to knee but was able to walk to the locker room under his own power.  There will be further updates later on.  Once I received this text message my heart stopped.  The last thing we need is to lose Trent for an extended period of time.  Its encouraging to see that he was able to walk on his own power but nobody wants to see their starting qb injured in practice.  Quarterbacks dont get hit in practice so this must have been a freak accident.  Hopefully this is something minor and Trent wont miss any time.  The season is less than three weeks away and we need him to be 100%.  I do have confidence in backup J.P. Losman but feel this team has become Trent’s team and he is the leader.  Tomorrow is the last day of training camp at St. John Fisher and the team will begin to prepare for its last two preseason games in Buffalo.  Get well soon Trent.  We need you out there.  Go Bills.

Hello Bills fans.  The Buffalo Bills fell to the Redskins 17-14 at Fedex field this past Saturday.  I was in attendance for the game and even though it didnt count, it was great to watch the Bills.  The starting offense didnt look so great and couldnt get into a flow.  Trent Edwards did have a nice 18 yard pass to Roscoe Parrish.  The offensive line had two false starts on the opening drive so we had to settle for three.  The defense didnt fare to well but was missing starters Donte Whitner, Angelo Crowell and Terrence McGee.  I take preseason for what its worth.  Its basically for the players that are on the bubble to show what they can do in game situations.  Cornerback Ashton Youboty had a nice interception and then flipped it to Reggie Corner who returned it to the 20 yard line. That setup J.P. Losman’s td pass to rookie receiver James Hardy.  Hardy made up for a drop with a nice 16 yard reception in the endzone.  Rookie Leodis McKelvin shined in the return game taking a punt back 45 yards.  If he would have cut to the right side, he would have scored.  McKelvin also had a 37 yard kickoff return.  He looked impressive.  As always the special teams played fantastic.  The unit forced a fumble on the opening kickoff which was recovered by kicker Rian Lindell.  Although we didnt pull out the victory, I saw some positive things from our team.  I cant wait to see us play at full strength.  Go Bills.

Hello Bills fans.  Today Russ Brandon announced that the team plans on keeping J.P. Losman for the 2008 season.  Brandon stated that Losman is under contract and will be kept despite rumors of the team looking to trade him for a draft pick.  I feel better knowing that the team will have an experienced backup to Trent Edwards.  To be successful in this league, you must have backups that when called upon can come in and get the job done.  I still like Losman a lot and felt that after the 2006 season that he would be our long term starter.  Things of course did not work out that way but having him around for another season gives the team a backup with starting experience.  Check out the article on NFL.com.  Go Bills.
