BillBoard: McGee deal done
Besides, it's hard to complain about getting paid nearly $7 million per year. That is a significant raise over his previous deal, a four-year, $18 million extension that expires after this season. The goal for McGee was for him and his family to be financially set for the rest of their lives... McGee also wanted to stay in Buffalo, even if it meant less money.

AFC East: Final Word - AFC East - ESPN
Sunday should look like Home Run Derby for the Buffalo Bills' offense. The Patriots stymied Terrell Owens and Lee Evans on Monday night, holding them to five catches for 71 yards. But the Tampa Bay Buccaneers demonstrated ineptness in controlling the Dallas Cowboys' passing game in Week 1. The Cowboys averaged 8.9 yards per play -- not just passing plays, but every snap. Tony Romo threw for 353 yards and three touchdowns, feeding big-play targets Roy Williams, Patrick Crayton and Jason Witten all afternoon.
Buggs lands starting role with Buffalo Bills | democratandchronicle.com | Democrat and Chronicle
The Buffalo Bills were hoping to work the bugs out of their defense in their game against the New England Patriots on Monday night. Instead, they emerged from the game with a new middle linebacker named Buggs and a new set of concerns about stopping the run heading into this Sunday's home opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Buffalo Bills know deep game is key | Democrat and Chronicle
"We know that there will be some opportunities out there [to go downfield] and we'll try to get those if the look is right," Evans said. "We'll just have to wait and see how they try to play us."
Bills Will Beat Bucs - 13WHAM.com - Rochester News, Weather, and Sports
The Bills will win. These are the kind of game this team always seems to win. Games in September at home against non-division teams (Seahawks, Texans,Rams). I think we will see Edwards throw the ball well and yes, even go deep a few times. I say both Owens and Evans get into the endzone. I think the defense forces two turnovers. I think Leodis McKelvin makes some amends with a big return
Bucs' ground game back in gear with help from vintage Cadillac : Buffalo Bills : The Buffalo News
The last time the Buffalo Bills faced Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Carnell "Cadillac" Williams, it wasn't pretty. Williams, then a rookie, ran over and through the Bills, pummeling their defense for 128 yards (most of it after contact) and one touchdown on 24 carries in an easy 19-3 Buccaneers home win in 2005.
CBS Sports Rapid Reports
The area of Tampa Bay's offense that concerns Bills S Donte Whitner the most: "The running game. We have to take their running game away. They have three good running backs. Cadillac Williams is back to the point he was at before he was injured. ... Derrick Ward, they brought him over, and they have Earnest Graham. ... We're going to have our hands full."
Morris puts his stamp on Bucs as coach : Sports : The Buffalo News
Morris in many ways resembles the team he coaches. He's the second-youngest head coach in the league and is a virtual unknown. He's the central figure of a project in which the Bucs are determined to overhaul the organization with youthful exuberance and intelligence in an effort to regain respectability.
Mining your way to fantasy gold - Sit/Start Edition Sep. 18/2009 - Niners Nation
Sit Carnell Williams RB TB @ BUF - The Buffalo Defense played a pretty good game against New England. I expect the Bills to be able to make the Bucs one dimensional, and shut down the run in the process. Williams went for 97 yards and 1 TD (on 13 touches); if he gets that few touches this week, expect much smaller numbers. Week 2 Forecast: 50 total yards, 0 TDs

Bills' Jackson runs through the open door : Bucky Gleason : The Buffalo News
Lynch is a powerful back, but Jackson is a better one. He's more suited for the Bills' no-huddle attack. He's a better receiver and more elusive in the open field, which fits the Bills' short-passing game. The Bills should keep him as their primary back and change the pace with Lynch rather than the other way around.

woke up thinking about mckelvin mistake monday coach should have told him hands team on field stay put thats what coaching is about. great coaches leave nothing to chance the pats should have tried to keep the ball in field of play but didn't so special teams coach or head. coach should have told leodis if they kick all the way to the end zone we will not bring the ball out game over
