3 Key Matchups to Watch

1)QB Trent Edwards vs. QB Brady Quinn: Edge: Even

2)HB Jamal Lewis vs. Bills Front Seven: Edge: Bills

3)HB Marshawn Lynch vs. Browns Front Seven: Edge: Bills

Prediction:
Despite losing rookie QB Sam Bradford, the Bills are riding a two game winning streak as they prepare to take on the Cleveland Browns. The Browns have been hit hard by the injury bug losing two of their best players in DT Shaun Rogers and LT Joe Thomas. Second round pick rookie DT Vince Oghobaase will start at nose tackle. Look for the Bills to take full advantage and the run the ball a lot with HB Marshawn Lynch. For the Browns, the main source of offense will be HB Jamal Lewis. If Lewis can not get going against the stout Bills defense it could be a long day for Cleveland. Bills continue to roll, knocking off the Browns 31-17.

Lets hope you can keep the streak alive with a win over Cleveland.

Bills Extend Win Streak to Three After Defeating the Browns 35-27

Bills WR Lee Evans celebrates a third quarter touchdown.

(2-5)- 27
(4-2)- 35

AP Buffalo – The Buffalo Bills extended their win streak to three games in a row after knocking off the Cleveland Browns 35-27 in a close game. Browns QB Brady Quinn had an amazing day amassing over 400 yards passing and three scores. The Bills pass defense looked very suspect for the second week in a row. Browns WR Brian Robiskie had a huge day hauling in 8 catches for 166 yards and two scores. Bills CB Terrence McGee looked overmatched against Robiskie getting beaten over and over again.

Bills QB Trent Edwards had another solid day despite a relatively low completion percentage. Edwards threw for over 250 yards and two scores with no turnovers. He did a great job of spreading the ball around, hooking up with nine different receivers. Bills rookie WR Deonte Thompson continues to look impressive. He led the Bills team in receptions as well as running back a kick 101 yards for a score in the third quarter. Bills HB Marshawn Lynch again went over 100 yards for the second week in a row racking up 135 yards and a score on the ground.

The Bills will travel next week to New York to take on the division rival New York Jets (2-4). The Browns are looking to regroup from their rocky start as they head into their bye week.

i got fity bones says you cream the browns

Thanks for checking in man, it was a little closer than I would have liked but at least we got the win in the end.

[young2rice]

The Edwards era continues to steamroll and my prediction is making me look more and more like Nostradamus everyday!

[Tearz49ers]

Hey a few more wins and we'd have to call your guys legit...good job...go Bills....just don't win a championship and move the next year...or worse yet, move first then become champions! You know that's what will happen to the Bills eventually in real life!:rolleyes1:

You are obsesed with teams moving places whats the deal with that?

Great win over Cleveland as I thought it would be. Trent is making a statement that he really should have been number one and that Bradford was a wasted pick.

Game of the Week
The Washington Redskins and Chicago Bears battled to a 17-17 tie this past week. Bears HB Matt Forte was the main source of offense for the Bears racking up 105 yards on the ground. For the Redskins, WR Santana Moss added 33 yards and a score.

[cheese2121]

Wow, some big plays in that Cleveland win, but I think it was a little too close for comfort. That Lynch score with under 2 minutes was the big dagger in Cleveland's side.

Yeah the Lynch run really sealed the deal for us. I was just trying to run out the clock at that point and he broke through two tackles and took it to the house.

The Edwards era continues to steamroll and my prediction is making me look more and more like Nostradamus everyday!

Hahah your prediction is certainly looking more and more true. I am a little worried as to what to do if it does come true since Edwards is in a contract year.

man robiskie really shredded you guys...witner and lynch came up big though. nice game

thanks man. yeah robiskie was a thorn in my side all game. We just have never really been able to put together any sort of consistent pass defense. Hopefully we can get better throughout the season.

Hey a few more wins and we'd have to call your guys legit...good job...go Bills....just don't win a championship and move the next year...or worse yet, move first then become champions! You know that's what will happen to the Bills eventually in real life!:rolleyes1:

Haha thanks man! A few more wins and we might have a shot this year at the playoffs. And don't worry the Bills aren't going anywhere as long as I am in control. Buffalo is where they belong and Buffalo will be where they stay even if its not to be in real life.

You are obsesed with teams moving places whats the deal with that?

Great win over Cleveland as I thought it would be. Trent is making a statement that he really should have been number one and that Bradford was a wasted pick.

Thanks man! Yeah Trent has really been playing lights out. His completion percentage is a little lower than I would like but he isn't turning the ball over which is great. Trent is in a contract year though. I am a little worried I might have a situation like the Chargers had with Drew Brees and Phillip Rivers at the end of the year. At this point its way too early to worry about though. Both quarterbacks still have a lot to prove.

(4-2) vs. (2-4)

Jets CB Darrelle Revis leads one of the best pass defenses in the league.

Bills Prepare for Battle with Division Rival Jets

Injury Report (Players Not Playing)

Buffalo Bills
-QB Sam Bradford (74) - Herniated Disk

New York Jets
-MLB David Harris (77) - Compound Stress Fracture
-LG Alan Faneca (96) - Upper Arm Fracture
-RG Brandon Moore (80) - Fractured Foot

3 Key Matchups to Watch

1)WR Lee Evans vs. CB Darrelle Revis: Edge: Revis

2)HB Thomas Jones vs. Bills Front Seven: Edge: Bills

3)HB Marshawn Lynch vs. Jets Front Seven: Edge: Bills

Prediction:
The Bills lost both of their meetings with the Jets last season but will look to pull out a victory this week. Jets QB Mark Sanchez has suffered a bit of a sophomore slump after winning rookie of the year honors last season. He is completing just 50 percent of his passes and has thrown as many picks as he has touchdowns. With all of the injuries to the Jets offensive line, I think they will have a tough time getting the running game going against a stout Bills run defense. If the Bills offense can keep it simple, by keeping the ball on the ground, they should win this one easily. Look for Bills HB Marshawn Lynch to have a big game. The only way the Jets are in this one is if they can force Trent Edwards to pass a lot. The Jets secondary is strong and could give Edwards trouble if he has to win the game for Buffalo. The Jets front seven though doesn't look strong enough to contain Lynch. Bills win 28-21.

[cheese2121]

without faneca you should be able to beat the jets. good luck

Thanks man! I should have the game up tonight.

Bills Fall in Final Minutes to Jets 23-20

Bills WR Miles Austin falls into the endzone for a second quarter score.

(4-3)- 20
(3-4)- 23

AP New York: The Buffalo Bills divisional woes continued as they fell to the New York Jets 23-20. The Bills have not beaten any team in their division other than Miami since before last season. The game was a defensive struggle early as neither team could get the ball moving. The Jets finally managed to put up points in the second quarter after DT Kris Jenkins recovered a Bills fumble. The Bills were able to answer back as QB Trent Edwards found WR Miles Austin for a 21 yard touchdown.

Edwards had a rough day throwing for only 47% with three interceptions. Jets CB Darrelle Revis was the main cause, shutting out Bills WR Lee Evans and recording an interception. The Bills took the lead, 20-14, with under five minutes remaining as Edwards found Austin again this time for a 62 yard score. The Bills defense could not hold on, though, as QB Mark Sanchez found WR Braylon Edwards for the winning touchdown with under two minutes remaining.

The Bills will head home to take on the Detroit Lions (4-3). The Jets will travel to Heinz Field to take on the defending AFC champion Pittsburgh Steelers (4-3).
