The Bills were too much for the Bengals last night in Buffalo.  Trent Edwards was solid as he completed 13 of 17 passes for 153 yards with 1 TD pass.  Ryan Fitzpatrick also looked good as he completed 6 of 9 passes for 77 yards with 1 TD pass.  Brian Brohm only threw 1 pass and it fell incomplete last night.  C.J. Spiller really looked good last night as he carried the ball 12 times for 52 yards (4.3 ypc) with 2 TD runs and he also caught 2 passes for 33 yards (16.5 avg).  Andre Anderson also looked good as he carried the ball 6 times for 43 yards (7.2 ypc) last night.  WR Roscoe Parrish (4 rec, 56 yards) and TE David Nelson (2 rec, 34 yards) led the way in the passing game for the Bills last night as they each caught 1 TD pass.  The Bills finished up with 132 yards rushing (4.4 ypc) and 217 yards passing last night.

The defense didn’t look too good last night against the Bengals.  You can’t blame safety George Wilson for that though as he led the way for the Bills last night with 9 tackles and 1 QB hit.  LB Andra Davis also was busy last night with 7 tackles and 2 tackles for a loss.  CB Reggie Corner made his mark in this game with 4 tackles, 1 pass defensed and a interception that he returned 20 yards for a TD.  The Bengals finished up with 119 yards rushing (5.0 ypc) and 276 yards passing in this game.  The Bills are now 2-1 on the pre-season.

24-year old undrafted rookie RB Joique Bell out of tiny Wayne State (Michigan) has really opened some eyes around the league.  He has played in both pre-season games for the Bills and he has rushed for 132 yards on 16 carries (8.3 ypc) with 2 TD runs.  He has also caught 3 passes for 15 yards (5.0 avg) this year.  Bell might have a hard time making the Bills with C.J. Spiller, Marshawn Lynch, Fred Jackson and Chad Simpson ahead of him on the depth chart.  But, even if Bell doesn’t make the Bills some team will give him a chance as long as he finishes the pre-season strong.

The Bills have signed 28-year old TE John Paul Foschi.  Foschi played in 15 games (10 starts) for the Bengals last season and he caught 27 passes for 260 yards (9.6 avg) with 2 TD grabs.  He has now played in 33 games (15 starts) in his NFL career and he has caught 33 passes for 297 yards (9.0 avg) with 2 TD grabs.  This was a good signing for the Bills as Foschi played pretty well for the Bengals last year.

The Bills will be without TE Derek Schouman for the next 3-6 weeks due to a knee injury.  He just can’t seem to stay on the field for the Bills as he only played in 2 games (both starts) for them last season and he caught 9 passes for 103 yards (11.4 avg).  The Bills hope he makes a speedy recovery because they need all the help they can get on offense.  The Bills will also be without linebacker Reggie Torbor for the next three weeks due to a undisclosed injury.  Torbor had 5 tackles in the Bills’ first two pre-season games.  He played in 16 games (2 starts) for the Dolphins last season and he had 37 tackles, 1 sack, he defensed 4 passes and he had 1 interception.  The Bills hope that Torbor will be ready for the regular season opener against the Dolphins on September 12th.

The Bills will be without 4th round pick Marcus Easley (WR) and 6th round pick Danny Batten (OLB) for the entire 2010 season.  Easley had surgery on his left knee and this is a big blow to the Bills who were hoping that he would help out their depleted WR corps in 2010.  Batten needed shoulder surgery.  His loss won’t be as big as the Bills weren’t expecting much more than special teams work out of Batten in 2010.
