Saints Could Be Without TE Jimmy Graham
The Bills take on the Saints on Sunday in New Orleans this coming weekend. The Saints are 5-1 and coming off a bye week. But, they could be without their leading receiver and arguably best offensive player Jimmy Graham. Today, Graham missed practice with a foot injury that he sustained during the week 6 loss to the Patriots. In that game, he didn't have a single catch. Ill keep you updated on that injury as well as Bills injuries. But whether he is in the game or not, the Bills will have a tall task to face on defense while taking on QB Drew Brees.

Week 7 Monday Reaction
The Bills got a tough victory going into hot and sunny Miami 23-21 Sunday to improve to 3-4 on the season. The defense was great for the most part, but the offense struggled for the most part. All together it was a total team win. And a big one too. Here are the positives and negatives:

CJ, Stevie Expected to Play Sunday
Today on the Howard Simon Show on WGR550 (Buffalo Sports head radio station), Doug Marrone let out some information onto the injury report for Sunday's matchup with the Dolphins. Marrone said that Stevie was going to play, along with CJ Spiller. If today's injury report stays as it is right now, the Bills will only be missing 1 player from the opening day 53 man roster due to injury.... QB EJ Manuel. Here is the Friday Injury Report for the Bills Sunday:

What We Learned After Jets Lose To Pittsburgh
The Jets fell to the Pittsburgh Steelers 19-6 for their first home loss of the year. Geno Smith had a bad game finishing 19-34 201 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions. Dick LeBeau is 16-2 against rookie quarterbacks and he showed that Sunday. He consistently gave Geno different looks and pressures he probably hasn't seen before and made him get rid of the ball quickly. Both of Geno's turnovers were in the red zone and that took away points for the Jets in the end.

http://ninerfans.com/new/week-6-preview-san-francisco-49ers-v-arizona-cardinals/ With the San Francisco 49ers (3-2) squaring off against the division rival Arizona Cardinals (3-2) this Sunday, it will be a matchup where defense wins the game. A 49ers team that boasts the No. 8 ranked defense in the NFL, despite losing their two best players at their respective positions in ILB Patrick Willis and OLB Aldon Smith in their last two meetings, it will be up to the Niners defense to come through once again. A two-game span that saw the 49ers defense hold their opponents to a combined 14 points, the stingy Niners defense will be looking to have an encore performance once again, as they defend their home-field advantage.

Byrd Probable; Gilmore, Stevie Game Time Decisions
It's looks as though free safety Jairus Byrd will in fact play on Sunday as Coach Doug Marrone listed him as probable. Marrone said that WR Stevie Johnson and CB Stephon Gilmore will be game time decisions. Johnson has been out of practice as he had to go back to California after a loss in his family this past week.

Bills Defense Needs to Step Up
The Bills have played well this season at points at every phase of defense, however a key to success for this young defense is consistency. The Bills haven't given up over 27 points this season, and they have been missing 3 starters in there lineup. They have played great so far this year with the exception of 3rd downs, but they will likely need to play even better than they have so far if they want to win some games down the stretch with a banged up offense.

22-6 Win over Carolina
So I have good news and I have bad news. I'll start with the good news. There is a blogger app so I can blog right off of my android phone! Okay here's the real good news. The cardinals won and once again proved that they have a defense worth considering in the top five.

Geno Comes Up Clutch, Jets Win 30-28
The Jets went into the Georgia Dome where Matt Ryan was 34-5 and never lost back to back home games until last night. Geno Smith played his best game of the year, 16-20, 199 yards, and 3 touchdowns. The most important stat was no interceptions

Eagles topple Giants, Top the NFC East!
The Philadelphia Eagles got a win.....pffew. Finally I big time win and a huge confidence booster that this team really needs. It did come at a price though, Michael Vick has a strained hamstring and is reported to likely be out against Tampa Bay this week end. Yet Nick Foles looked electric throwing over 200 yards and 2 touchdowns running the fast paced offense very effectively. Yes the duel threat option with Vick was eliminated which did effect

Bills Name QB Thad Lewis Starter Week 6
Today the Bills have taken QB Thad Lewis off the Practice Squad so that he can start Sunday vs. the Bengals. This means that rookie Jeff Tuel was leap frogged by Lewis. Doug Marrone did indicate that he talked to Jeff ealier today before making the decision final. Thad Lewis went to college at Duke, and played in a 47 of a possible 48 games (2006-2009). After his collegiate career, Thad went undrafted and was later signed by the St. Louis Rams and he stayed there for a year as a backup. After that he was signed by the Cleveland Browns for the whole 2011 and 2012 seasons as a backup. But week 17 of last season, Lewis finally got his chance to start in the NFL. He started in a somewhat snowy game against the Steelers for the Browns. He went 22/32 with 204 yards, a TD, and an INT. That was a great debut due to the fact that the Steelers were the 1st ranked defense in the NFL. That is very encouraging.

Eagles vs Giants Previewing the Division Showdown
The Eagles are 1-3. Yes that looks like a terrible record but news flash (If you haven't heard yet this week) the Eagles can finish the week end in first place if two things happen. First the Eagles dismantle a 0-4 New York Giants football team that can't stop a tortoise and a offense that can't score.

Big plays were also big. The Browns had there franchise record for most yard on special teams in a single. This was all ignited by bad punting by Shawn Powell and amazing punt returning by WR/PR Travis Benjarmin.

Injuries Piling Up For The Jets
Injuries continue to mount for the New York Jets as Santonio Holmes and Stephen Hill are likely to miss Monday nights game against the Atlanta Falcons. Hill was injured the second play of the game after Geno threw a pick the safety hit Hill right in the head as a defenseless receiver as that hit should be looked at by the league and warrant a fine.

Eagles get their's against the Broncos. Drop to 1-3
Well there weren't many positives to take from the week 4 blow out in Mile High yesterday as the Eagles are now 1-3. Yes you can say this offense can't seem to find its way with the new look offense and yes you can say that the defense is historically bad again, especially the secondary. These statements are true but to me are not as big of concerns as they may seem to the rowdy Eagles fan base. It is totally understandable to be upset with the 1-3

Ugly Game, Good Win
While the Cardinals did a great job at stopping Doug Martin, Mike Glennon did much better then projected. Very poor game on offense. Ugly game by Carson Palmer and the receivers besides Larry Fitzgerald. Full game analysis will be posted tomorrow. 13-10 victory thanks to late game heroics by Larry Fitzgerald and Patrick Peterson.

Keys to Victory: Week 4
2-2 sounds much better than 1-3, and Arizona has the perfect situation to make the better of the two situations happen. With the benching of Josh Freeman on the Bucs, the Cardinals have the perfect opportunity to attack Mike Glennon on his first career NFL start.

Titans Rout Jets, 38-13
The Jets were 2-1 coming into Nashville to face the Tennessee Titans. This was their chance to start 3-1 before starting this grueling October stretch which is the toughest in the league. On the Jets second play Geno Smith threw an interception that was intended for Stephen Hill and it was intercepted and returned back to the Jets 20 which resulted in a Titans touchdown. All four of Geno Smith's turnovers were turned into 28 Tennessee points.

Chris Ivory Hurt Again
Chris Ivory was injured in the first quarter against the Buffalo Bills Sunday. Rex learned that it was a hamstring injury, the same hamstring that sidelined Ivory for 2 weeks of practice and the first preseason game. Rex Ryan has confirmed that this time the hamstring injury is the same leg but in a different location. "Right now we'll let you know on Wednesday when the injury report comes out," Jets head coach Rex Ryan said. "It is a hamstring, though, I'll let you know that."

Week 4 Game Preview: Ravens @ Bills
The 2-1 Ravens, who are coming off of a 30-9 victory over the Texans head to Orchard Park for a week 4 showdown with the Bills. The two teams come in completely different positions. The Bills come in with a boat load of injuries, while the Ravens come in, with a couple of injured players coming back. Also the Bills are coming off of a divisional game in which the Jets registered for 20 penalties and the Bills still found a way to lose, on the other side, the Ravens dominated the very good Texans last week. So the Ravens look like they have momentum, but this game is being played in Buffalo. The Ravens are 0-1 away and 2-0 at home.

Panthers Cruise Past Giants
Ron Rivera lives to see another game. In a battle of disappointing 0-2 teams, we learned which team is a lot less disappointing. Carolina (1-2) demolished the New York Giants 38-0, a laughable game that was sweet revenge for the 36-7 drubbing that the Giants (0-3) handed the Panthers last season

Jets Game Plan VS Bills
The New York Jets face the Buffalo Bills Sunday afternoon. The Jets need to focus on containing CJ Spiller. Spiller ran all over the Jets last year producing 325 yards from scrimmage. Spiller excels when he hits the edge of a defense and then shows his real speed.

Eagles Defense Could Be Historically Bad.....Again
The Eagles stand at 1-1 with 63 total points scored, Michael Vick is off to the hottest start of his career, Desean Jackson can't be stopped as well as Lesean McCoy who are perfect fits for the offense, so why is there concern for this Eagles team that stands tied for first in the NFC East?

Patriots Steal One In Foxboro
The New York Jets went into foxboro feeling confident they would come out with a victory, and they should have. With Tom Brady missing his top 3 targets (Rob Gronkowski, Danny Amendola, and Shane Vereen), he was left throwing the ball to Julian Edelman and Kenbrall Thompkins. Other than the first drive of the game the Jets defense played great. They held Brady to under 50% passing, they were under 40% on third down conversions, and they shut the patriots out in the second half but the Jets offense still couldn't capitalize and they couldn't take advantage of all the Patriots injuries. The Patriots stole this game in Foxboro.

Vinny Curry can't seem to get on the field
The Philadelphia Eagles took Vinny Curry from Marshall in the second round of the 2012 draft with high hopes that he would become a big contributor along side Trent Cole. Well that just hasn't happened. Curry was inactive again Monday Night now being his 11th game inactive out of the 17 he has played in his NFL career.Curry had a strong preseason after making the switch to 3-4 defensive end instead of going OLB with Trent Cole and Brandon Graham. I personally thought that Curry was going to be a big part of the rotation between Cox, Thorton, Logan, Square, Geathers, Curry..

Nate Allen named starter over Earl Wolff
The Eagles have decided on the starting safety next to Patrick Chung for Monday Night vs the Washington Redskins. Nate Allen has had a rough career since his rookie year and really has not done much to impress in the preseason either which is why I question the move. I believe the Eagles should have went with the rookie in Earl Wolff, yes he has struggled but if both struggle, I'm taking Wolff who to me has looked better than Nate. The Eagle Eye Focus Podcast Preview of the Redskins will be aired tomorrow at 3 30! FOOTBALL IS BACK!

Jets Ready To Move On From Sanchez
According to the Daily News, Rex Ryan and John Idzik and most of the teams personnel are on board with moving on from Mark Sanchez and starting Geno Smith week 1. Sources told the Daily News that Ryan believes Geno is the better option and the right move to start this season if his ankle is 100 percent. Sanchez isn't likely to suit up against the Buccaneers anyway come week 1 so it is a no brainer that Geno is going to start, this decision that Rex has made though is for Geno to play throughout the entire season and evaluate him.

I said this once on the podcast and I am going to say it again, by the way I also predicted Chaney getting cut on the podcast unlike Eagles TV Network who said he was a "lock" to make the roster....please. With the release of veteran Kenny Phillips who could never get on the field, this now leaves the safety position to Patrick Chung and either Nate Allen or Earl Wolff as the starter when neither one look ready to start. So this brings up a great time for the Eagles to get a veteran safety to go along with Chung. This to me should be former Eagles Safety Quintin Mikell.
