    Bills sign QB Josh Johnson; Cut K Billy Cundiff

    Per Mike Rodak:
    The Bills have signed QB Josh Johnson, which indicates that the Bills might have some concern about the health of Tyrod Taylor. Rex Ryan said Tuesday that Taylor was "banged up" and "sore." The Bills cut K Billy Cundiff to make room for Johnson.

    Sounds like there's a legit chance that EJ will start Sunday.

    Re: Bills sign QB Josh Johnson; Cut K Billy Cundiff

    Oh, great! EJ!!!

    Can we please have another play where we send our QB out in the flats to catch a pass and get torpedoed by a corner?! That was pure feckin' genius.

    Frickin' Josh Johnson, another Rexy favorite.

    Lehner's history. He just doesn't know it yet.

    Could partially be for intel. He was on the Bengals during pre-season.

    Could be worse, we could have traded for Josh Johnson before someone else cut him.

    Well, it's kind of funny you mention that because Indy just cut Johnson to make room to sign Marcus Thigpen. We could have traded Thigpen for Johnson, which seems like we did with cutting the players. lol

    I don't expect EJ to start, but Tyrod obviously isn't at full strength. His ankle might feel a lot worse today than it did on Sunday. We'll have to see how practice goes, but it definitely doesn't sound like he's guaranteed to start.

    Someone has to throw the ball in practice. If Taylor gets time off Tuesday - Friday and EJ is working with the starters someone needs to take EJ's scout team snaps.

    If EJ starts I'm prettys sure that Watkins calf is going to get worse awfully quick. No one wants to go out there and get there head ripped off over the middle.

    Tyrod will start.

    Johnson I think is just a reaction from Rex that if Taylor does get injured at some point he wants to be able to have a similar player to put in if needed.

    He saw the value in being able to just run for it when all else fails.

    Re: Bills sign QB Josh Johnson; Cut K Billy Cundiff

    The Bills have a PS qb that probably takes the scout team reps. Even if there's a small chance that Tyrod can't go, they need to be prepared for that situation. They can't really wait until the end of the week to see how Tyrod is feeling and then sign a qb a day or two before the game.

    They have a QB on the practice squad to do that

    Re: Bills sign QB Josh Johnson; Cut K Billy Cundiff

    curious move indeed. so does kid rock do kickoffs now? little surprising they are willing to give up that yardage when they carried an extra kicker for two seasons just for that. dont need the arm so the cincy intel might be a factor but how much do you really get out of that anyway. curious

    What intel do you need on the Bengals? I could give them that for free.

    They're gonna run Giovanni Bernard around 15 times in the game and he's gonna end up with 70+ yards. Dalton will throw the ball deep to AJ Green, when he's not throwing the ball to Eiffert in the seam. They'll score 21+ points doing this.

    That's the Cincy offense.
