Vincent Held Out: Along with the players that were expected to be out, Coy Wire, Matt Bowen, Matt Morgan, and Dylan McFarland, the Bills were without a couple of other players. Troy Vincent was given the game off and Rashad Baker started in his place. Ashton Youboty was excused from the game because of a death in the family. During the game the early look appears only two players got banged up. Willis McGahee went to the locker room as he came off the field twice with what looked like a shoulder or a neck problem. He did return to the sidelines in pads so he should be ok. Eric King was banged up in the second half and did not return. Fred Jackson was a surprise addition to the lineup after hurting his knee this week, Lionel Gates also played despite being questionable. Injury Page.

QB Battle May Continue: J.P. Losman made too many mistakes to be handed the starting job at this point in my opinion. Three first half turnovers were too many mistakes for a starting QB to make. He did some good things as well but not enough to be given the job. The problem is the other two candidates didn't knock anyone's socks off. Kelly Holcomb again was ineffective, throwing only five passes before giving way to Craig Nall who was somewhat impressive in true garbage time in the fourth quarter. He did throw a scoring pass and led the team on a nice scoring drive while throwing for 63 yards on 5 of 9 passing with a nice QB rating of 114.6. He may move ahead of Holcomb based on this performance and deserve a more careful look next week. What do you think? Take our poll on our homepage and let us know.

Bills Lose: The Bills did some things right but many things wrong in their preseason loss to the Bengals 44-31 at Ralph Wilson Stadium. They turned the ball over four times, two of them were returned for touchdowns and the other two setup chip shot field goals as the turnovers turned in to 20 of the 27 points the Bengals scored in the first half. Willis McGahee fumbled the ball away and it was returned 72 yards for a score on the opening drive. He responded with a 61 yard touchdown run on the next series. J.P. Losman also responded after a big miscue. He had an interception returned for a score but then hit Lee Evans for a 46 yard touchdown pass. He then proceeded to fumble the ball away twice late in the first half and the defense held both times allowing only field goals. McGahee finished with 88 yards on 9 carries while Evans turned three catches into 115 yards. Losman was 7-11 for 134 yards. The backups didn't do nearly as well this week as the defense allowed 17 second half points with none of them being setup by turnovers. The Bills offense got two late touchdowns with Craig Nall in the game. He hit Alan Richard for a nine yard score on a fourth and one after the Bills recovered a fumble. He then led the team on a 73 yard touchdown drive that ended with a fourth down TD run by Fred Jackson.

Player Have Everything To Lose: Tonight's preseason game against Cincinnati gives some players a lot to gain or lose. J.P. Losman could lock up the starting QB job with a solid game. If he struggles it reopens the door for the other two candidates to walk through with good performances in the 2nd half. Donte Whitner can almost lock up a starting job with a solid performance as he gets the start for the injured Matt Bowen. The ongoing battles at left defensive end and nose tackle will be front and center tonight as those four players battle it out for two starting jobs in the d-line rotation. The wide receiver battle continues, the emergence of Sam Aiken puts Peerless Price and the other candidates on the hot seat. Who do you think has the most to gain or lose?
