My two favorite Bills

I think my two favorite players right now are:
Kyle Williams and Eric Wood

Both are perfect examples of hard working, lunch-pail type players that epitomize what it is to be a Buffalo Bill

Great article on Kyle!

Go Bills!!

Johnson & Easley

Bills WR’s Easley, Johnson Impressive On Saturday – WGR 550 SportsRadio

I reiterate that I think the best combination will be Johnson WR2 spot when Spiller or Parrish are in the slot. When Spiller is in the backfield, I can see a lot of value in sliding Johnson into the slot and having Easley our on the edge. Both receivers being quite physical and willing blockers, will define us as the power running team that I know we will become.

Micheal Thomas....

is a must read… I Know it’s still early in camp, but the pressure from the likes of Ellis, Maybin, Tabor, and Coleman is like a breath of fresh air…

The draft dawns a new year for Buffalo Bills fans, so let optimism reign supreme!!! After all, we are now, UNDEFEATED!!!!

agreed......I just bookmarked that site

If all the stars align, pigs learn to fly, humanity achieves world peace, doctors discover a cure for cancer, scientists perfect cold fusion, and hell freezes over, the Bills might win the SB this year.

The “T” and “E” are dead giveaways. As is that golden California tan.

Every time I watch a presser

with Coach, I’m more and more impressed. He has a commanding presence with a healthy mix of good humor. He takes the reporters where they want to go, but he doesn’t put up with BS. One example is at the top of the Sat. session where he’s asked “how about an injury update?” He quickly says “Just ask about somebody (specific,)” and then answers directly and keeps the interview moving.

I think I’d be happy to play for Chan.

Bring on the 2010 NFL season! Go Bills!

I just wish there was a mic to catch the reporters questions spent half of that 9 min interview not knowing who/what he was talking about cus I never heard the question. Wasn’t until I read article about Williams that I knew he was talking about Williams not playing small.
