1. Whoever was driving was probably under the influence, so they took off. They would rather deal with a "I was scared" hit and run charge, then own up to a DUI.

2. The best thing the Bills have done for a while was pick up Luke Drone this season. That kid is good. With the right offensive support, he will the the next big QB.

4. Hey, I know Luke from Illinois State. He is a super nice guy. You're right, he could be the next great QB with the right support. If they give he a chance and don't leave him at 3rd string, he will be their QB no doubt.

13. I hope Marshawn wasn't in the vehicle. He's a fan favorite, a fun loving guy and involved in organizations like Family First out in the Bay area.

14. I live in Buffalo & my aunt works at the hospital where the woman was treated for her injuries. Here's the full story...

The Buffalo Police Department is investigating a hit and run accident involving an SUV registered to Buffalo Bills running back Marshawn Lynch.

Sources close to the situation say it's still unclear if Lynch was driving the car or whether he was even in the vehicle at the time of Saturday's 3:30 a.m. accident.

Buffalo police say an SUV belonging to Lynch hit a female pedestrian at the intersection of Delaware Avenue and Chippewa.

Buffalo police say their security cameras at that intersection were operational at the time. But the spokesman said if the accident was caught on video, it would not yet be released because it would be part of an ongoing investigation.

Several staff members of a nearby bar tell us they saw a woman lying in the street for approximately 15 minutes, but they say the woman eventually got up under her own power and walked to an awaiting ambulance.

The female pedestrian who was struck has been treated and released from Buffalo General Hospital.

A Bills spokesman says the team is declining to comment. However, he says Lynch's attorney is out of town and will address the situation when he returns.
