Wild Card Matchup Preview
Sunday, January 8, 4:30 PM @ Qualcomm Stadium

(10-6)

@

(13-3)

Exactly 1 year ago, the Bills went into San Diego and pulled off an upset after heading into the final quarter of play trailing 21-28.

The Bills ended up scoring 24 points in the final quarter, 14 of which came off 2 back to back interception returns off of Philip Rivers that proved to be the 1-2 punch to end the Chargers season for good.

It appears Rivers sought out to prove his doubters wrong this year though, leading his team to an amazing 13-3 record and more importantly, his first league MVP award.

Rivers and the rest of the Chargers would love nothing more than to get revenge against the team that brought their season to an abrupt halt in the Wild Card round a season ago.

The Bills would love nothing more than to prove last year's upset was no fluke.

Chargers Key Additions: FB Carey Davis (77)

2010 Bills Season In Review

As the NFL finds itself in another exciting postseason with the Patriots and (T.O.'s former team) the Cowboys slated to meet in Super Bowl XLV (45), the Bills find themselves feeling a little left out.

A season that began with a 4-0 record seemed to offer great promise, only to find the Bills finishing 10-6 on the year, 1 win short of their 2009 11-5 finish.

So what was the Bills' downfall? What do Bills fans have to look forward to next season? Let's break it down position by position:

Quarterback: Trent Edwards showed signs of brilliance mid season and finished the season just under 4,000 yards. He threw as many touchdown passes (25) as he did in 2009 but with much greater effiency. Edwards still needs to improve upon his accuracy and decision-making when being pressured by the opposing team's defensive line. Backups Ryan Fitzpatrick and Matt Moore really didn't do all that much. The Bills need to bring in a quarterback (rookie or veteran) to step up and serve as a solid backup.

Running Back: Marshawn Lynch continued to excel in the Bills offense, rushing close for 1500 yards and double digits in touchdowns. While Lynch sat out half of the last game of the regular season season, Bills fans were treated to a 50 yard half out of Fred Jackson. It's scary to think about how these two can perform if the Bills offensive line continues to improve as much as they did this year.

Wide Receiver: Free Agency acquisition Davone Bess became one of Edwards' favorite targets and stepped up as a very effective third down receiver. Is he the quality #2 receiver that Trent Edwards needs? That question may have a definitive answer until next season. Terrell Owens seems to have declined, finishing the season with only 694 yards, only better than his rookie season. Chances are the Bills will not resign him but crazier things have happened. Lee Evans had a solid year, eclipsing the 1,000 yard for the 3rd time in his career. Roscoe Parrish, while excelling in special teams, has yet to warrant the 2nd round pick used on him as a receiver. It might be early yet, but I think James Hardy might be a bust right out of the box. At the very least, the second round pick the Bills used to get him was a bit too much.

Tight End: Shawn Nelson continued to show signs of development, catching 52 passes for 650 yards on the year. Nelson is a sure handed tight end with the size and speed to be a dangerous safety valve for Edwards. Derek Fine? 8 catches, 90 yards, perhaps a bit underwhelming.

Offensive Line: The Bills young offensive line appeared to gel as a unit and should come back stronger next year. They allowed 41 sacks on the year, collectively.

Defensive Line: Sophomore Aaron Maybin was a pleasant surprise for the Bills, tallying up 9 sacks in his 1st season as a full time starter. Aaron Schobel's dismal 6 sacks really doesn't justify the contract the guy has. Marcus Stroud had his moments, and with the decent supporting cast, was able to rack up a career high 10 sacks on the year. The Bills pash rush definitely needs improving next season though.

Linebackers: If Paul Posluszny wasn't white and Polish, the Bills fan base wouldn't be so patient with him. Kawika Mitchell showed some signs of improvement for the linebacking corp, yet he seemed to disappear from time to time. Clint Ingram who was signed out of free agency last offseason, was the aggressive, hard-hitting LB we expected him to be, but his aggressive and tendency to overpursue allowed opposing running backs to break big gains. The linebackers were constantly out of position and big, game-changing plays were a rarity at best. The Bills will need more out of their linebackers in '11

Defensive Backs: Terrence McGee had another spectacular season and will likely be voted on to his second consecutive Pro Bowl team. Leodis McKelvin is a big playmaker in the making and made huge strides in his coverage. Donte Whitner, Jairus Byrd, Cary Harris and Ko Simpson are, together, a decent, reasonably young backfield that has shown a lot of promise for the future. The problems in the defensive backfield stem from them not playing physical enough. They don't bump at the line, allowing receivers the short, quick routes that ranked the Bills defense amonst the worst in the league at stopping the pass. Hopefully we'll see this young group continue to improve. With the defensive line's effectiveness continuing to improve, the Bills' defensive backs will likely get burned less.

Special Teams: Roscoe Parrish led a special teams unit that was easily the most consistent unit on the team, returning 5 kickoffs for touchdowns for a second consecutive season. Brian Moorman, while not playing up to the high standards he has set in previous seasons, had another solid year. Rian Lindell continues to be a kicker who can make the easy kicks and miss the pressure ones. He's not a terrible kicker but one has to wonder if there is a better kicker out there somewhere. No matter what happens to the rest of the team next season, it can be expected the Bills' special teams will continue to shine.​

Bills Turn To Meeks To Improve Defense

The Buffalo Bills quickly filled their opening at defensive coordinator, hiring Ron Meeks today to replace Perry Fewell.

The Bills have turned their struggling defense to Meeks, who spent 7 years running Indianapolis' unit, and the past 2 years with the Panthers.

Weeks won a Super Bowl with the Colts in 2006 and the Bills are hoping he can help them achieve similar success.

"He's an outstanding teacher who has enjoyed great success as a coordinator in the league and brings a strong background of coaching championship defenses," said Bills head coach Dick Jauron.
