Bills play one starter, drop exhibition finale
 
  Hamdan, Bills lackluster in pre-season finale ( Photo Source ) Thank the merciful gods of football.  It's over. The Buffalo Bills mailed this one in, playing just one starter - free safety Ko Simpson - in their final pre-season game, a 14-6 loss to the Detroit Lions . Gibran Hamdan, the team's third quarterback - and not even a lock to make the final roster - got the start ...

Mystery Man: DT McCargo outshone, outplayed in Bills exhibition season
 
McCargo currently the #4 DT in rotation ( Photo Source ) Back in early March, mere hours after the Bills had made a splash by securing a trade for former Jaguars Pro Bowl DT Marcus Stroud, the Buffalo Bills appeared to have it made at the defensive tackle position.  Experts drooled at the potential that Stroud - along with free agent addition Spencer Johnson, imported on the same day ...

The Battle for the Final Roster Spots
 
  Has Ashton Youboty outjumped the competition? ( Photo Source ) As the pre-season begins to wind down, some of the Buffalo Bills' fringe players have one game left to show their stuff.  So the question becomes: what spots on the roster are most up for grabs and who's fighting for these final spots?  Besides the positions that have been discussed previously ( Backup TE , ...

Youboty, rookies pushing James off roster? ( Photo Source ) One of the more intriguing positional battles that the Buffalo Bills were keeping tabs on heading into training camp was the battle going on for five - perhaps six - slots at cornerback.  The Bills had three incumbents, a free agent addition, and three drafted rookies battling for spots on the team - and given the unique ...

New stadium highlight of Sunday Night Bills/Colts tilt
 
Edwards to miss all-important third pre-season game ( Photo Source ) The NFL must be thrilled with this decision.

Bills' O remains a question mark despite strides
 
After a strong performance in a pre-season win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Buffalo Bills' offense appears to be in the midst of a stunted growth spurt thanks to some unfortunate circumstances.  With several key players missing for the team's third pre-season game - a Sunday night affair in Indianapolis - Buffalo's offense may be about to take a step backwards after a strong step ...

Bills' Walker fitting in well at left tackle
 
  Walker's move to left tackle going smoothly ( Photo Source ) It's not ideal - not for the Buffalo Bills, and especially not for Langston Walker.  When asked to do something different for his team, Walker hesitated - but only briefly.  He need not have worried - since that date (July 30), Walker has surprised in his new role as the Bills' starting left tackle.  His ...

Bills holdout Peters making all the wrong moves - CBSSports.com
 
Bills holdout Peters making all the wrong moves - CBSSports.com CBSSports.com's Clark Judge lays it all on the line about Jason Peters' holdout. I couldn't find a single opinion of Judge's to contradict. An extraordinary read - one I've attempted to duplicate for a month. Alas, Judge is induplicable. (No, that wasn't a word until Clark Judge invented it.)

He'll likely be a warm body the team uses in the final two pre-season games. Perhaps the Bills know something (negative) about Peters that we don't?
