2012 NFL free agency rumors: players who could be released from AFC East
Brought to you by Fantasy Knuckleheads
Well that was a fun 2011 NFL season, wasn’t it? Now that we make a transition to the 2012 off-season it just makes sense to start looking at players who could be switching teams.
This is going to be my fourth installment of an eight part series that focuses on players that could find themselves being released from each division. I had...

Coples gets to 10 for Bills?
North Carolina pass rusher Quinton Coples looked like a man among boys at the Senior Bowl by most accounts. Many draft prognosticators have him off the board no later than the seventh pick (Jacksonville)… until now.
NFL.com draft analyst Chad Reuter has Coples making it all the way to the Bills with the 10th pick. Here’s what was written.
Pick No. 10Â QUINTON COPLESÂ DE...

Opening Bell: A dumb Kansas video-Shawne Merriman’s crappy contest-Country music sparks violence
Today is National Signing Day for College Football and frankly, I think it’s about as over-exaggerated as Super Bowl Media Day. So many of these kids are going to amount to squat, since it’s impossible to predict a high school kid’s progression to college ball but hey, to each his own. I know my partner in crime … Continue reading »

Time for your weekly questions from AskChris@bills.nfl.net. Enjoy the holiday weekend Bills fans!
1 - Hi Chris,
Thanks so much for keeping us continuously updated. I have a question regarding Fitz: I still think he can be a top 10 QB — he reads things quickly, unlike some of our past QBs who perhaps had better physical attributes. But he has to be more consistent and cut down...

A.J. Smith’s five questionable moves as the Chargers’ GM
A.J. Smith is known as a high risk/high reward general manager, and one of these moves turned out to be a good thing for the future, but was a gamble at the time it happened. Â This is in no particular order in terms of where they rank. Â They are just the ones that came to my mind first.

5 reasons to hate the San Diego Chargers
5) San Diego rejects? This is more about the fact that I don't really hate San Diego that much. From 1985 to 1998, the Chargers and Bills never played each other. Pretty odd when you consider that both teams are in the same conference. Anyway, you have to put Shawne Merriman on the list. Even though I'm still of the mindset that Merriman was worth the gamble, it didn't...

We’re Missing Carlos Rogers, But He Sure Isn’t Missing Us
During his time as a Redskin, Carlos Rogers had an up and down career to say the least.
He was drafted 9th overall out of Auburn in the 2005 NFL draft ahead of guys like DeMarcus Ware, Shawne Merriman, and Aaron Rogers, but he never really lived up to his potential.
There’s no question he had talent, and his size and physicality were attractive as well. There was one problem...

Philip Rivers Dragging Down Chargers
Philip Rivers' abysmal performance on Monday Night Football cost his team the win and gave the red hot Chiefs a share of the AFC West lead. Rivers threw two interceptions, now a league leading 11 interceptions, zero touchdowns, and one very costly fumble. With the Chargers in range for a game ending field goal, Rivers fumbled the snap from center Nick Hardwick that the Chiefs...

A defensive line move that we anticipated is happening for the Bills coming out of the bye week.
Marcell Dareus is going to start at nose tackle. He had been lining up there in practice more this week. Alex Carrington will be stepping into Dareus’ spot at LDE.
Kelvin Sheppard is also starting at ILB next to Nick Barnett.
Spencer Johnson starts at OLB in place of Shawne Merriman.
