RB George Winn's agent said the #Lions plan to promote him from the practice squad. J. Bell, M. Owens and T. Riddick missed end of Week 4.

THE DAILY DISH: #Lions confident in Henery, kicking game: http://www.detroitli...4513fb …

Philly, but Foles tries to throw it more from that play. He is aided by a better TE in Ertz.

 

What's a TE?

[26CornerBlitz]

@WGR550: The #Bills announce they've signed TE Jamie Childers to the practice squad. A 6-5, 250-pound Coastal Carolina product.

TE Jamie Childers signed to #Bills Practice Squad, D.J. Tialavea released http://bufbills.co/ZztJJo

Calvin Johnson seems to be pretty banged up, and Matt stafford was limping last week.

 

I really hope Schwartz can get the defense up to play a lights out game and we can pull out a HUGE win.

 

Bush scares me on big plays

[K-9]

Seriously.

 

I'm waiting for the defense to disappoint. SD was the closest they came to it, but still made good adjustments mid-game and gave us a chance to come back.

 

Schwartz knows the Lions well. It'll be another game where the offense decides our fate.

 

Mid-game? More like the 4th quarter. San Diego used half the third quarter on the opening drive of the second half. D couldn't get off the field to save it's life. I'm hoping any adjustments we may have to make in Detroit are made before that happens again.

 

GO BILLS!!!

@Andy_Benoit

#Lions Film: Ebron TD was seam route vs LB Harris from tight slot “empty.” Athletic adjustment on ball. Stafford good tight window throw.

Orton steps into familiar scenario with Bills

It's not surprising that the situation Kyle Orton is currently in is a familiar scenario.

@Lions QB Matthew Stafford on the #Bills defense: "They are big and physical. All of 'em."

 

@Lions

Stafford on Schwartz telling Johnson he'd double-cover him every play: "That's what everybody does in the league, so it makes sense."

@buffalobills

.@Lions Jim Caldwell on Kyle Orton: "He understands offensive football...he's been able to move the ball with the teams he's been with"

@thadbrown7

Jarius Wynn in Kyle's spot on D-line so far. More of end so far but IMO best of #Bills reserve DLinemen. Giving up some lbs tho #billsmafia

Next up are Suh and Fairley on Sunday at Detroit.

Marrone on the move to Orton: "It increases the production at that position"

 

Marrone on DT Kyle Williams and LB Nigel Bradham: "We'll see how they progress" No timetable given for their return.

 

Marrone on interior O-line play: "We have to play better inside ... We've had some tough matchups there"[/size]

@buffalobills

Doug Marrone: "There aren't a lot of creases in the @Lions defense right now," one of the top units in the @nfl.

 

Doug Marrone: "Kyle Williams (DNP, knee) is one of those players who doesn't have to practice in order to play. There aren't many of those"

 

@detnewsRodBeard

#Bills Orton on getting a good start: (#Lions defense) turns the game fast for them and put (teams) in predictable passing situations.

 

@buffalobills

The scrum around #Bills QB Kyle Orton.

 

 

@buffalobills

Kyle Orton likens the 2005 #Bears to 2014 #Bills. Great defense, dynamic playmakers. Those Bears started 1-3, finished 11-5 & won NFC North.

 

@BuffaloBillsPR

@BuffaloBills QB Kyle Orton is 4-0 in his career against the Lions. Here’s a look at how he fared in all four outings

 

 

@ChrisTrapasso

#Bills clearly think pretty highly of Jairus Wynn, Corbin Bryant and Stefan Charles on their DL.

 

None of those players can duplicate Kyle Williams' effectiveness, but healthy rotation of those three should be fine for #Bills.

 

Having a healthy Kyle Williams for Week 6 vs. Patriots or for months of November/December = more important than rushing him back vs. Lions.

 

Matthew Stafford: "It's going to be a challenge" (05:44)

Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford spoke to the media via conference call to discuss the Lions 3-1 start, their top ranked defense, and the challenge of executing their offense against the Bills.

 

@buffalobills

.@Fred22Jackson: "I don't focus on the changes being made. I focus on what I can do to make us better."

 

.@Fred22Jackson: "This isn't just about EJ. As an offense, we need to get the job done."

[26CornerBlitz]

@detnewsRodBeard

#Bills coach Marrone: Jim Schwartz plays to the strength of the players we have; coaches appreciate him.

 

#Bills Marrone on Schwartz vs #Lions: He goes about his business every week the same; haven't seen anything this week that's more or less.

 

So not only is Pears committing unarmed robbery each week, he's now handing out DPOW awards like a concierge at the Four Seasons. When will the madness end?!

@mikerodak

Orton asked how he will run offense better than Manuel. "Not saying I will. That's a loaded question, that's a crap question." Well then.
