Injury Report (Players Not Playing)

Minnesota Vikings
-RE Jermaine Cunningham (70) - Fractured Toe
-ROLB Erin Henderson (68) - Broken Forearm
-RT Phil Loadholt (77) - Broken Thumb

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

3 Key Matchups to Watch

1)QB Trent Edwards vs. Vikings Secondary: Edge: Vikings

2)HB Adrian Peterson vs. Bills Front Seven: Edge: Vikings

3)QB Tyler Thigpen vs. Bills Secondary: Edge: Bills

Prediction:
Bills fans who were looking forward to seeing first round pick QB Sam Bradford take the field will have to wait a while after Bradford went down with a herniated disk last week. The Bills finally play at home after starting off the season with four road games in a row. QB Trent Edwards is once again the man in Buffalo after rallying the Bills back last week to a 21-20 victory over the division rival Miami Dolphins. This week he takes on a much more formidable defense in the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings boast one of the best defensive lines in football led by all pro RE Jared Allen. If the Bills are to have a shot in this one their running game has to get going. The Vikings continue to have quarterback woes as they search for a franchise guy. Current starter Tyler Thigpen is assumed to be a fill in until the Vikings can find a more long term solution. HB Adrian Peterson will be the main weapon for the Vikings offense. Look for him to have a big day. Vikings come out the winner in this one 28-14.

Predict: Trent Edwards is going to light it up filling in for Bradford's injury, eventually forcing you to start him despite Bradford being healthy enough to return.

Bills Holdoff Vikings Late Comeback to Win 33-28

Bills WR Lee Evans hauls in a third quarter touchdown.​

(2-2)- 28

(3-2)- 33

AP Buffalo – The Buffalo Bills won their second game in a row knocking off the Minnesota Vikings 33-28. The game started off low scoring as both offenses struggled to get going. Bills QB Trent Edwards had a rough day completing less than half his passes. However, Edwards did not turn the ball over and hooked up with WR Lee Evans in the third quarter for a score.

Bills HB Marshawn Lynch had a spectacular game and was the only source of offense for the Bills in the first half. His first quarter score from 60 yards out helped to give the Bills a 10-7 lead heading into halftime.

The Vikings took the lead midway through the third quarter as Vikings WR Percy Harvin caught his second touchdown pass of the game. However, it would be all Bills after that. The Vikings kick return team suffered a total collapse as they fumbled back-to-back kickoffs both of which were returned for touchdowns. The Bills special teams scored 14 points in 12 seconds. The Bills would hold on for the victory despite a late 4th quarter touchdown from Vikings QB Tyler Thigpen.

“I can’t say enough about our special teams. Those guys were amazing. I mean 14 points in 12 seconds, that’s just incredible.” -Bills Special Teams Coach Steve Crosby

The Bills head into their bye week with a 3-2 record and currently in second place in the AFC East. The Vikings will travel back home to take on the undefeated Chicago Bears (4-0).

LOL at Thigpen being the starter in Minny, Congrats on WFF and thanks for the shoutout in the article

Haha Thigpen actually played pretty well but his number are a little high because I brought my safeties in a lot to help against the run. Thanks man!

Predict: Trent Edwards is going to light it up filling in for Bradford's injury, eventually forcing you to start him despite Bradford being healthy enough to return.

Thanks for checking in man! You may be right Edwards has been decent so far. If that were to happen I'm not sure what I would do.

good luck agenst the vikings

Thanks man!

Funny, Tyler Thigpen was the starter in Minnesota in my Panthers franchise last season. They picked up Kevin Kolb this year and he's not much better. GL against the Vikes!

Thanks man! He played decently enough against me but we still managed to pull out the win. I still think the Vikings will look to replace him. I gave up some plays in the passing game I shouldn't have because I was so worried about AP getting loose.

Whoop the Vikes!!! And congrats on WFF!!

Thanks man! I really appreciate it. As always thanks for following long. We managed to get the win but it was a close one. All our games seem to be that way this season.

 

[cheese2121]

nice win

Thanks man

 

[Tearz49ers]

Looks like Trent and Marshawn did enough to manage the game in order for you to come out with the win. Good job.

Yeah, Trent didn't play great but luckily it was good enough fro us to get by. If Marshawn can keep carrying the offense we could do pretty well. Our pass defense has got to step up though...getting destroyed by Thigpen is not a good sign.

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.

 

[Tearz49ers]

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.
