Stevie has taken notice of Bills' speedy additions
BY DAN BEGNOCHEWhen Stevie Johnson was asked Wednesday just how impressed he was with the speed that the team has brought in at the wide receiver position, he summed it up in one word: "Very."The Buffalo Bills surrounded the No. 1 receiver with speedsters this offseason, which could dramatically alter the look of the team's passing game from a year ago.

Stevie Johnson has been sidelined with an injury
The Buffalo Bills’ top reveiver, Stevie Johnson, has been sidelined by injury and has not participated in the start of the teams organized team activities.
According to head coach Doug Marrone, Johnson first strained his back last month during the voluntary veteran workouts although he doesn’t seem to be too worried about the injury.
“I feel very comfortable with what Stevie...
Buffalo Bills OTA Day Two Thoughts
Day two of Buffalo Bills OTAs saw another wide receiver as its top player. On Tuesday, second year wideout T.J. Graham had the best performance. The wide receiver corps are a bit thin currently with many of the rookies having to sit out until their respective graduations and Stevie Johnson still battling an injury.
Graham pulled in “almost half a dozen receptions” according to...
Bills Select Robert Woods
Buffalo drafted its quarterback of the future on Thursday night, and with its first pick of the second round, it got Manuel some help.
USC wide receiver Robert Woods will now call Buffalo home as the Bills made him the 41st overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft. Woods pick has been met, so far, with much more positivity than the Manuel pick was.
Woods gives the Bills another outside...
2013 Pre-Draft Visits: Why They’re Important
Every year, the NFL allows teams to have 30 prospects visit them so they can work out and interview them further beyond the confines of the NFL Combine or their Pro Days. This would normally be interesting because it is probably a good indication of what GM Buddy Nix and his gang of scouts are leaning towards. It’s especially interesting because in Buddy’s three years as Buffalo’s...

2013 NFL Combine: Wide Receivers
The wide receivers are always a popular group in the NFL Draft. Numerous receivers showed their speed and talent in day four of the NFL Combine on Sunday. While there are only a few “elite” talents, many other receivers showed off their talent hoping to get noticed.
With the Buffalo Bills not tendering a contract to David Nelson or Donald Jones, the team is in desperate need...
True or False: Bills/Dolphins Edition
True or false: The Bills/Dolphins game is totally meaningless? True. Okay, that’s a bit harsh, as there are draft implications, but it’s unfortunate that this game has no playoff implications (Dolphins are still alive but they need a miracle to sneak into the playoffs). Back when I was a child it seemed that the Bills and Dolphins had one of the top rivalries in the NFL and generally...
Bills Woes Reach New Low
As if clinching their 13th consecutive season of missing the playoffs wasn’t enough for Buffalo fans, the Bills decided that they wanted to fall to a level far lower than they’ve hit all season Sunday as they lost to the Seattle Seahawks 50-17 in Toronto.
How many horrible things can be said about the Bills abysmal effort yesterday?
Quite a bit, let’s make a list of the things...
Donald Jones Questionable For Week 16
Bills receiver Donald Jones is questionable for Sunday's game against Miami with a calf injury after missing Week 15.Fantasy Spin:Jones hasn't done much of late and isn't a factor in most fantasy lineups. T.J. Graham has seen 15 targets over the past two games to rank second on the team behind Stevie Johnson.
Film Review: Bills' air attack vs. Patriots' zone defense
It was no upset when the New England Patriots defeated the Buffalo Bills 37-31 Sunday. But, surprisingly, the Bills kept it close enough to have a chance to win at the end, which ultimately fell short after a blown route by Buffalo wideout T.J. Graham resulted in a game-ending interception. In fact, Buffalo scored more points than any other Gillette Stadium visitor this season. It...
Stevie Johnson questions the Bills’ play-calling
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson wonders why a veteran receiver that’s more experienced wasn’t targeted at the end of this past Sunday’s game against the Patriots.
Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick targeted wide receiver T.J. Graham and ended up throwing an interception that ended the game.
“I don’t think it was the wrong play. But just the whole thing leading...
Bills WR Stevie Johnson Questions Team's Play Call On Final Play Vs Patriots
Two days later, receiver Stevie Johnson still can't get over how the Buffalo Bills botched their final play in a loss to the New England Patriots last weekend.
On Tuesday, Johnson second-guessed why a more experienced receiver wasn't targeted on a play that ended with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick throwing an interception into the end zone to seal a 37-31 loss. And Johnson...
Bills WR Johnson questions play call in Pats loss
Buffalo Bills receiver Stevie Johnson questions why a more experienced player wasn't targeted on the final offensive snap in a loss at New England last weekend.
And Johnson says rookie receiver T.J. Graham shouldn't be faulted for running the wrong route that led to quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick having his pass intercepted by Devin McCourty in the end zone with 23 seconds...
Bills Waste Golden Opportunity In Foxboro
It was all set up perfectly.
After a huge defensive stop held the Patiots to only a field goal, the Bills were about to get the ball back trailing by only six points, with a chance to win the game.
Ryan Fitzpatrick had been on fire all afternoon, throwing for over 300 yards and two touchdowns in the contest.
After driving down into the New England redzone, it appeared as if the Bills...
Graham on bad route: That's why I don't play much
Ryan Fitzpatrick threw a game-losing interception in the final seconds of the Buffalo Bills' loss to the New England Patriots Sunday. But unlike most of Buffalo's mistakes in the passing game, this one wasn't his fault.From the 15-yard line, Fitzpatrick dropped back to pass with 28 seconds to go, needing a touchdown and an extra point to win the game.Patriots defensive...
6 Things I Bill-ieve Following the Buffalo Bills 37-31 Loss to the New England Patriots
Yesterday was one of those games where it looked like the Bills would pull out a big win on the road and their season would suddenly not be lost. Unfortunately a miscue between Ryan Fitzpatrick and T.J. Graham led to a late game loss to the Patriots.
At 3-6 the Bills season looks lost. However, before we start talking about 2013, let’s take a look at what I “Bill-ieve” following...
Kneel before Necci: Bills/Pats Recap
The Bills and the Patriots played an NFL Game that ended in heartache & despair.
My thoughts:
MVP: Ryan Fitzpatrick. We, myself leading the parade, like to bash Fitz. The weak arm, the inability to throw it deep, the inaccuracy, and the ever looming "Fitz Pick" that kills this team like it did yesterday. But today, Ryan Fitzpatrick played probably...
Two big turnovers spell another Bills loss to Patriots
BY NICK ST. DENISThe Buffalo Bills hung around Sunday against the New England Patriots. But as has been the case for Buffalo throughout the season, a couple untimely mistakes were too costly to overcome.Despite giving up 37 points, the Bills were within striking distance with 28 seconds left -- on the 15-yard line, down by six points with three downs to work with.Then came the interception...
Bills WR T.J. Graham Takes Blame For Costly Interception
To most, it looked like an awful pass by quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, right at the Patriots Devin McCourty in the front of the end zone.
But T.J. Graham, the rookie wide receiver who was the intended receiver on the play, said after the game that he was the one to blame for the interception that sealed New England's 37-31 win over the Bills.
Graham told reporters that he...
Bills play 3rd round draft pick more than explosive runningback Spiller on Sunday
I don’t know what Chan Gailey was thinking on Sunday, but one of the biggest problems was that Buffalo rookie WR T.J. Graham was on the field for 7 more offensive snaps (33 out of 57) than C.J. Spiller on Sunday. C.J Spiller is the most explosive running back in the NFL, and has the stats to prove it, but Buffalo some how aren’t getting him the ball.
If you watch the game...
Now we get to see the real Buffalo Bills
The Bills expunged the bitter taste from their mouths after a putrid Week 1 loss to the New York Jets by pounding on the Kansas City Chiefs and Cleveland Browns in succession. It’s easy to write those two wins off as bullying smaller, less talented opponents, but at the end of the day 2-1 is 2-1, and the Bills sit in second place of their division. If you’d looked at the schedule...
Bills Graham scored his first NFL touchdown but are they looking for a replacement?
Associated Press
This week versus the Browns, T.J. Graham had three catches for 24 yards with a touchdown in the Bills’ Week 3 win over the Browns. Making his second career NFL appearance, Graham gets his first career touchdown. He’s operating as an outside receiver in three- and four-wide sets thanks to David Nelson’s season-ending knee injury. Ryan Fitzpatrick locked on to...
Box Score: Bills 24, Browns 14
Craig already has his recap up on the site, showing again how he’s one of the best in the blogosphere.
Overall, the Browns played pretty well for about three quarters today. They played decently well, enough to be competitive and maybe win. But they were abysmal — as bad as ever — for the first half of the first quarter and the last half of the first quarter. And those are...
