-QB Chad Pennington (85) - Torn Bicep


Buffalo Bills

3 Key Matchups to Watch

1)QB Pat White vs. Bills Secondary: Edge: Bills

2)HB Marshawn Lynch vs. OLB Joey Porter: Edge: Even

3)HB Ronnie Brown vs. DT Marcus Stroud: Edge: Stroud

Prediction:
In one of the most questioned moves of the NFL season, the Miami Dolphins will once again start rookie QB Pat White over QB Chad Henne. White has struggled throwing only 3 touchdowns and 16 interceptions during his time as the starter. Look for Miami to try to establish the run with Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams to take the pressure off their young quarterback. However, they are going up against a Bills run defense that is one of the best in the business. If the Dolphins are forced to pass this one could get out of hand. Despite the poor play of QB Trent Edwards, I think the Bills have more than enough weapons to win this game. Bills continue their winning streak knocking off the Dolphins 27-17.

Bills Lose Will to Play in 50-32 Nightmare Loss After Seeing Parrish Rushed to Hospital

Dolphins OLB Joey Porter takes an interception back for a score in the blowout.​

(2-9)- 50

(6-5)- 32

AP Buffalo – Right when it looked like the Bills might be poised to make a run deep into the playoffs, tragedy struck. Mid-way through the third quarter when the score was still close, Buffalo Bills WR Roscoe Parrish was blindsided during a kickoff return. As soon as he hit the turf he lay frozen. The entire stadium was silent as trainers rushed to him. Bills CB Terrence McGee was the first to reach Parrish.

“I knew something was wrong as soon as I got close. He was just laying there, his legs, his arms nothing was moving. He looked at me but I don’t think he really saw me.” - CB Terrence McGee

After about twenty minutes, trainers secured Parrish to a stretcher before lifting him onto the training cart, which quickly rushed him to a waiting ambulance at the stadium gates. Fans looked expectantly hoping to see a thumbs up from Parrish as he was carted off but he lay prone on the cart not moving. The Buffalo Bills could not move past the tragic injury. They played distracted the rest of the game and quickly fell into the hands of a blowout. Bills QB Trent Edwards had an abysmal game tossing four interceptions raising speculation about whether he should even finish out the season. The receiving corp also looked distracted with four dropped passes.

After the game, it was announced in the team locker room, that WR/KR Roscoe Parrish had suffered a fractured vertebrae. The fracture was serious and Parrish is suffering from paralysis. Doctors are hopeful after extensive surgery and rehab that Parrish may regain some of his movement in both his arms and legs, but he will never play football again. The Bills will release a press statement later in the week as well as hold a news conference. The Bills will attempt to keep their season from spiraling as they host the New York Jets (3-8) next week.

[cheese2121]

keep up the great streak. I hope you win against the Dolphins

Thanks man. We just fell apart against the Dolphins sadly. The career ending injury and the four interceptions by Edwards was just too much. The defense actually played pretty well but they were on the field almost the entire game and defending a short field. Hopefully we don't let this season slip away.

3 touchdowns and 16 picks and he's still the starter? That's crazy. Hopefully that works out in your favor good luck.

Pat White actually played a pretty bad game all four of the touchdowns came after they got the ball with a very short field. The defense stepped up everytime they had to drive the length of the field. Our offense just couldn't stay on the field long enough. And Trent Edwards has just been playing horribly, missing wide open receivers. Thanks for checking in man!

Editor's Note to Readers:

I was not planning on running a press conference at this point in the season but due to the devastating injury to Roscoe Parrish, I am going to put together a press release article and a following news conference with Bills Head Coach Dick Jauron. I would love if you all would come up with some questions you would like to see Jauron answer after he gives the press release about Parrish's condition. If not I'll come up with some questions and write up the article. I won't put it together til late tomorrow afternoon so if you all have any questions please post them on here or PM them to me. Thanks again as always for following along!

 

[Tearz49ers]

Wow shit dude, that is a tough injury right there. I shall send you some questions.

 

[cheese2121]

Bills Press Conference

Dick Jauron: Yesterday afternoon, during the game with the Miami Dolphins WR/KR Roscoe Parrish suffered a fractured vertebrae in the middle of his back. Initially after sustaining the injury he had paralysis in both his legs and his arms. He has gone through several surgeries at Buffalo Memorial Hospital and doctors are hopeful that this paralysis is only temporary. Roscoe was not only an incredible football player but he was also an amazing person. The Bills organization, players, staff, and myself are behind Roscoe and his family and will be their support group through this very trying time. I am truly saddened by what has happened. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Roscoe and his family. As far as from a football standpoint, Roscoe will remain on our roster till the end of the season when he is expected to announce his retirement and file the proper papers with the league office. I would like now to open the floor to questions.

Russell Warner, from The Buffalo News

First I would like to ask, has there been any update on the condition of Mr Parrish?

As of this morning, doctors told me that they are through the first round of surgeries. His condition is stable at this time and the main concern is repairing the fracture in his spinal column. They did say that Roscoe had some feeling in both his finger tips and toes, which is very positive sign. They are hopeful with a few more minor surgeries and physical therapy he'll be able to walk again and function on his own.


How does the Bills organisation plan to respect the family and Mr Parrish himself after such a tough injury?

We are all behind Roscoe and his family. I know a couple of the players who were particularly close with Roscoe are at the hospital right now with his families. In terms of respecting the legacy Roscoe leaves behind as a Bills player, his number eleven jersey will not be worn again until further notice. It will be put in semi-retirement. What I mean by that is no player will be allowed to wear it until given permission by Roscoe and his family. It will be very similar to the way the Broncos handled Darrent Williams #27 jersey following his death.

What can we expect to see from the Buffalo passing offense, after what seemed to be an offense that had Roscoe having a lot of playing time?

Obviously we can never truly replace a player as talented and versatile as Roscoe. As of right now, CB Terrence McGee will handle the kickoff and punt return jobs. WR James Hardy will be elevated into the fourth wide receiver spot. We also have a short list of several free agent wide receivers who are trying out for the team. We will sign one before the next game to the active roster. That short list is Justin Jenkins, D'Juan Woods, Kenny McKinley, and Ashley Lelie. Our decision will be announced later in the week.

Also a little off the point here but how is Trent still the starting quarterback, with the injury to Roscoe and the change you are going to have to make with the offense shouldn't it be time for a change under center at Buffalo to?

Trent will remain the starting quarterback for the start of this game but on a very short leash. A large part of this is due to us not having another viable option out there. Fitzpatrick who started in our previous game against the Jets struggled too much for us to justify starting him. Trent knows his job is on the line and assured me this morning that he will play his hardest to keep it. There is a bit of a shuffle in our depth chart. Fitzpatrick will be the emergency quarterback while rookie Hunter Cantwell will serve as the back up. If Trent struggles early, we are confident that Cantwell can lead the offense.

Thank you all for your time. Please keep Roscoe and his family in your prayers.

Prediction:
No one is really sure what to expect from the Buffalo Bills after their meltdown last week when WR Roscoe Parrish was rushed to the hospital. In the same week QB Trent Edwards was informed he could be pulled at any moment. It's nothing but questions in Buffalo. The Jets have been playing a lot better than their record indicates led by the strong play of rookie QB Mark Sanchez, who is the front runner to win the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year award. I think the Bills just have too many questions. I don't think they can hold it all together against a strong Jets team. Jets sweep the series winning 31-17.

Bills Drop Another: Lose to Jets at Home 22-14

Bills rookie QB Hunter Cantwell was injured on this play as he leapt into the endzone for a touchdown.​

(4-8)- 22

(6-6)- 14

AP Buffalo- The Bills dropped their second game in a row losing to the New York Jets 22-14. The Bills struggled to find any consistency on offense as incumbent QB Trent Edwards once again had a tough time, throwing two more interceptions. The Bills benched Edwards midway through the second quarter in favor of rookie QB Hunter Cantwell. Cantwell didn’t have time to show much to the coaching staff as he was injured on his first drive when he leapt into the endzone over Jets CB Darrelle Revis. The injury does not appear to be serious and Cantwell should be back in practice on Monday. Edwards struggled to lead the offense in the second half. Bills HB Marshawn Lynch could get nothing going on the ground as he was held to just 36 yards. The Bills comeback attempts fell short despite a 4th quarter touchdown from HB Dominic Rhodes.

Jets rookie QB Mark Sanchez continues to impress as he played a near perfect game throwing for 188 yards and a score. Jets HB Leon Washington had a very impressive day both catching and running in a touchdown. The Jets will travel to Chicago to take on the division leading Bears (8-4). The Bills will try to halt their two game losing streak against the Chiefs (7-5) at Arrowhead Stadium.

Prediction:
The story line of this game has to be the enormous gamble by Bills HC Dick Jauron to start rookie QB Hunter Cantwell. While Edwards play has been terrible, to put it mildly, you have to raise your eyebrows a little at seeing Cantwell as the starter. Many NFL scouts say he will never be a starter in this league. He does have a cannon of an arm which may prove to be an advantage as the offense has struggled all season to get the ball downfield to explosive WR's Lee Evans and Terrell Owens. Owens had this to say before the game. "Man I came here to win. And how you goin' to win a game if you don't get TO the ball. That's just crazy." Well I think the Bills continue to be crazy as the Chiefs win easily. Expect a rough day for Cantwell. Chiefs win 24-10.

Cantwell Shines in NFL Debut Leading Bills to 37-27 Win Against Chiefs

Bills rookie QB Hunter Cantwell finds fellow rookie WR Kenny McKinley for a touchdown in the third quarter.​

(7-6)- 37

(7-6)- 27

AP Kansas City- The Buffalo Bills downed the Kansas City Chiefs 37-27 led by their young rookie QB Hunter Cantwell. Cantwell, who was named player of the game, performed far beyond expectations in his first ever NFL start throwing for 237 yards, 2 touchdowns, and no interceptions. Bills fans knew their fortunes were going to change when on the first passing play of the game for the Bills, Cantwell found WR Josh Reed for a 58 yard score. The Buffalo coaching staff tried to rely heavily on the ground game to take the pressure off of Cantwell. Bills HB Marshawn Lynch did not disappoint as he carried the ball for 143 yards and added another 119 yards receiving. Bills HB Fred Jackson scored a 2 yard touchdown on his only carry of the game. The carry marks his first of the 2009 season after breaking his collarbone in the preseason. Recently signed Bills rookie WR Kenny McKinley scored his first career touchdown on a third quarter pass from Cantwell. Perhaps one of the biggest plays of the game for Cantwell came in the third quarter when on 3rd down and 6 Cantwell broke a would be sack from Chiefs DE Tyson Jackson and ran for the first down. Even though some throws were far from perfect, Cantwell showed gutsiness and a will to win all game.

For the Chiefs, HB Larry Johnson had a phenomenal game carrying the ball 18 times for 140 yards and a score. The Chiefs scored late as the clock expired to make this game appear closer than it was. The Bills will go back home to play the division leading New England Patriots (8-5) with playoff implications on the line. The Chiefs will stay at home against the lowly Cleveland Browns (5-8).

Hopefully Cantwell plays well and can get you a win. Good luck.

Thanks man! Cantwell really played great, better than I could have ever hoped for. Let's just hope he can continue like this next week against New England. The Patriots are going to be quite a bit tougher I have a feeling.

Still looking good man. I gotta check in more.

Thanks for checking in as always man! I appreciate it. By the way I know it's late but Happy Birthday man. I hope you had a good one.

I love Cantwell's size, and he played really well maybe you have found a QB at last.
