Tasker’s future HOF chances – Inside The Bills
"I just fear some voters will never equate special teams performance on par with offense and defense. What those voters need to know is Tasker was a player that proved the doubters wrong and showed that special teams can not only change games, but win them."
Bob Matthews: Thank goodness for lame Detroit Lions | Democrat and Chronicle
"The Buffalo Bills can thank the Detroit Lions for sparing them the unflattering NFL Worst Team of the Past Decade dishonors. The Bills and Lions were the only teams to miss the playoffs from 2000 through 2009, but the Lions had a worse record. In fact, four teams had worse records than Buffalo (66-94) for the decade: Detroit, Cleveland, Arizona, and Oakland."
Second Allegation Against Lynch in 24 Hours : Buffalo Sports Daily
Army veteran Steve Lapsey is coming forward and saying Marshawn Lynch also took 20 dollars from him in August. "I didn’t have anything on me other than a $20 dollar bill and my business card from work. So I gave them to him and thought that’s a pretty cool prize and said do you think you can sign this? He said no, but I’ll hold it. I thought he was joking."
Team in Transition
Schottenheimer boosts stock | ProFootballTalk.com

Perry Fewell has all Chicago Bears seek in a defensive coordinator - chicagotribune.com
"League insiders believe Fewell is fit for the job based on what he did as the coordinator in Buffalo the last four seasons. Angelo used the word "evolve" in a news conference last week, and some evolution is what Fewell could bring to the scheme. After succeeding Dick Jauron as interim coach of the Bills during the season, he interviewed to be the permanent top man for them but is considered a long shot. He also interviewed for the defensive coordinator job with the Giants."
Source: Cowher "nearly a lock" to coach in 2010 : Buffalo Sports Daily
"A source I spoke with this morning told me that Bill Cowher is 'nearly a lock' to coach in the NFL again in 2010. But Bills fans shouldn’t get excited quite yet. Just because the Buffalo is the only team with a help wanted sign hanging on their head coaching door, it doesn’t automatically equate to Cowher roaming the sidelines in Orchard Park next season. 'All my Cowher sources say no way.' The same source said, but also admitted there’s so much conflicting information out there they could be wrong."
