CIRCLE THE WAGONS

For anyone that is a Bills fan this has certainly been an interesting week. The change at qb vs the Pats was necessary . If only Fitz had a better arm we might be on to something. The man has shown the coaches time and again that he can read a defense, ( a skill he will need in spades vs. the Jets),but being coaches there is a bias if you don't look the part. Be prepared to see Brohm get some meaningful playing time in the future. As to the release of Trent it would have been nice if when we shopped him we could have gotten a 7th round pick or at least a lotto ticket. It speaks volumes about his preceived talent that only 2 teams put in a waiver request. Interesting that those are the next 2 opponents. Think they wanted to get a leg up on our offense? The reason behind his release is that he clearly was not in the teams long term plans, and it also prevents the possibility of a divided locker room. The recent injury settlement with Mitchell makes sense. The man has talent but the injury bug must love the taste of his,well you get the picture. He did not like the idea of IR as the injury was only going to cost him 12 games. The settlement allows him to sign with another team and he will soon be 31 years old. So once again a sound move by the GM and coach. So 2 good moves . The extension given Kelsey is another matter. He is a warrior and a stand up guy, has played in well over 95% of the games in his eight years in Buffalo, but the $ seems to high. Let us hope that the contract is incentive driven and back end loaded. Of course he could develope into a pro bowl outside linebacker. Do not hold your breath. At this point I will be happy if he is average. The game against the Jets just became even more difficult due to the injuries to 3 starters. Stroud.McGee and Davis all will be inactive. On the other hand Poz is back, and hopefully he will aide in the ability to stop the run. Of course the 3-4 defense is supposed to do that anyway.(DID THE COACHES FORGET TO GIVE THE BILLS D THAT INFORMATION?) The keys to the Bills chances revolve around several factors. First is to stop the run and establish a running game. Make Sanchez win the game. That being said, we need to find a pass rush,eliminate turnovers,and create some turnovers. Lastly do the Bills have anyone that can cover a tightend? If you believe they do you need to call the coaching staff and tell them whom it is. Has anyone seen our 3rd round draft pick? This may be the week. Also Moats has been seeing practice time at outside linebacker and he was an excellent pass rusher in college. Maybin please pay attention. I will be at the game Sunday. I hope the next post will be to celebrate an upset victory! Go BILLS!
