Lanschaften » Buffalo Bills vs. Tennessee Titans: first half open thread

The Buffalo Bills enter Week 5 in a direct reversal of their fortunes from a season ago. Last year Youth Rafael Bush Jersey , the Bills were 3-1 and coming off an exciting victory on the road over a team no one expected them to beat—the Atlanta Falcons. They played the 1-3 Cincinnati Bengals in a game that could have cemented them as contenders early in the season, but ultimately lost 20-16.This year, the Tennessee Titans come into Orchard Park at 3-1. Last week, they defeated the Super Bowl champs in overtime in a game that many felt the Titans would lose. They face a 1-3 Buffalo team that they should beat, at least on paper, in a game that would leave them 4-1 and firmly in the conversation of early-season contenders. If the Bills pull off the home upset http://www.authenticsbuffalobills.com/cheap-vladimir-ducasse-jersey , they will put themselves in far better position then they would with a loss. While 1-4 isn’t the end of any hope for playoff contention, it would certainly be close.Your first half open thread is here, Bills fans.Buffalo Bills release WR Jeremy Kerley, sign DT Robert Thomas On Saturday afternoon, the day before hosting the Los Angeles Chargers in their home opener, the Buffalo Bills announced that they have released wide receiver Jeremy Kerley http://www.authenticsbuffalobills.com/cheap-jason-croom-jersey , and signed defensive tackle Robert Thomas from their practice squad to the active roster. This move comes out of left field, since Kerley (who caught two of four targets for seven yards in the season opener) wasn’t reported to be disappointing the coaching staff early in the season.This move is a strong indication that the Bills are preparing to establish a role for rookies Robert Foster and Ray-Ray McCloud. McCloud, who is recovering from a minor knee injury, now can claim slot duties and become the primary punt returner, while Foster has one fewer veteran in the way of his reps. This might be a sign that McCloud is ready for action sooner than we thought.Kerley’s entire $960,000 salary was guaranteed when he broke the season on the active roster http://www.authenticsbuffalobills.com/cheap-john-miller-jersey , so the Bills are on the hook for the 29-year-old’s cash.Thomas had a strong preseason with the New York Giants, notching two sacks, and that helped him find a spot on Buffalo’s practice squad until now. He was a reserve in 15 games with the Giants last year. With the release of Adolphus Washington, the Bills only had three defensive tackles on the roster, and Thomas will bolster that depth. The team loves to rotate defensive linemen, and with Shaq Lawson out this week http://www.authenticsbuffalobills.com/cheap-matt-milano-jersey , they needed an extra body to keep players fresh.
