Bills @ Patriots begins in ...

Tidbits on a snowy day ...

Free agent Terrell Owens said he was willing to join Chad Ochocinco with the Bengals, but he's not ruling out a return to Buffalo either.

"I would like to be a Bill under the right circumstances," Owens said. "I want to compete for a Super Bowl. If the neccessary pieces are put in place for that to happen, then I'll be there." As expected, Ochocinco's "prediction" was far less of a guarantee and more of a playful recruiting tactic.

Sports Illustrated's Peter King says that "Terrell Owens in stripes will happen the day I run an ultra-marathon."

In other words, King is pretty sure T.O. isn't going to land in Cincinnati. Chris Mortensen said about the same thing on Sunday morning and it makes sense. The Bengals need someone that can stretch the field vertically and Owens is no longer that guy. He'll find that not many teams will be beating down his door as a free agent.

Kawika Mitchell is expected to move inside next to Paul Posluszny in the Bills' new "3-4" hybrid defense.

Though the move to a "3-4" has been panned due to the Bills' lack of personnel, we think it's perfect timing. Mitchell and Pos will flourish inside while Aaron Maybin and Aaron Schobel form a promising edge-rushing tandem. Mitchell's IDP value gets a nice boost with the move.
