What Bills vs. Panthers tells us about actual Buffalo depth chart

Team-released preseason depth charts are mostly nonsense. The teams wouldn’t release them if the league didn’t make them, and what they say is utilized more as PR and internal player motivation that it is anything else. If you really want to know in the preseason how a team views a player, you have to start […]

Buffalo Bills 53-man roster projection: After preseason win over Panthers

The Buffalo Bills routed the Panthers 29-14 in the preseason opener, the first outing inside the new Highmark Stadium. With only two more preseason games remaining before the Bills head to Houston to embark on their 2026 regular season, why not project the 53-man roster again? Technically, we do have new information after Buffalo’s opening […]

Bills RB James Cook ranked at No. 20 in NFL’s Top 100 Players

It’s not just the Josh Allen Show in Buffalo. James Cook, you know, the Bills running back who led the league in rushing in 2025, is getting his flowers ahead of the 2026 campaign. In the summer-long unveiling of the NFL’s Top 100 Players — as voted on by players themselves, Cook has entered the […]

Josh Allen got more action in preseason game No. 1 than he’s seen in years

Head coach Joe Brady made a promise before the Buffalo Bills’ first preseason game: If a player was healthy, he was playing. I was on record with the assumption that star quarterback Josh Allen was going to come down with a very serious, and very last minute, hangnail. So suffice it to say when I […]

Buffalo Bills 2026 scouting report: cornerback Anthony Kendall

The Buffalo Bills have added some new blood on defense this offseason, especially in the defensive secondary. With defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard set to favor a more man/match-heavy approach when compared with former head coach and defensive boss Sean McDermott’s zone-heavy scheme, it makes sense that new players are needed to fill those roles. Some […]

4 takeaways from Bills win over Panthers in first preseason game

The Buffalo Bills beat the Carolina Panthers 29-14 in the first preseason game inside the new Highmark Stadium on Saturday afternoon, and the score was not indicative of how thoroughly the Bills dominated. Staffer Sean Murphy wrote his stock up/stock down piece immediately following the victory. It’s very good. You should read it. These were […]

Bills news: Recapping Bills vs. Panthers

On a picture-perfect afternoon at the new Highmark Stadium, Josh Allen led the Buffalo Bills on a pair of scoring drives as the Bills kicked off the preseason with a 29-14 win over the Carolina Panthers in the first game ever played in Buffalo’s new palace. Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by recapping […]

Buffalo Bills 2026 scouting report: wide receiver Khalil Shakir

The Buffalo Bills had a wide receiver problem last season. In short, they didn’t have a player who profiles as a true “alpha” in the receiver room. Sure, they had some good players, but most football people viewed those players as good pieces, not true game-wreckers who can thrive regardless of the situation or defense […]

An under-the-radar memorable moment from the Buffalo Bills win over the Carolina Panthers

Like many fans of the Buffalo Bills, I try not to overreact when it comes to the team’s performance during the preseason. I have a hard time remembering anything from previous preseason games outside of Christian Wade, AJ McCarron, and a friend of mine melting down on Facebook about Case Keenum’s performance in the 2022. […]

Josh Allen, Keon Coleman shine in Buffalo Bills 2026 preseason debut

The Buffalo Bills opened their 2026 NFL preseason slate at home against the Carolina Panthers, and while the final score might not matter, there is plenty to be gleaned from individual player performances. Sometimes, the performance is even less important than the time of the game a player was on the field. In the early […]

Buffalo Bills vs. Carolina Panthers, Preseason Week 1 fan discussion

Buffalo Bills football is back, Rumblers! Well, okay, it’s just preseason football and only the first game of the exhibition period. But still, football is finally back in its evaluative form. Bills Mafia is understandably excited to see what’s in store during the 2026 NFL season. For the first time in just shy of a […]

Buffalo Bills roster by jersey number, last name

The Buffalo Bills are set to begin preseason football this weekend. With that comes a massive influx of players wearing jersey numbers that might not be current household icons. Yes, you know who wears “17” and you probably know a lot more than that about him. Who’s that Bill? Jokes about vintage Madonna songs aside, […]

Bills news: Previewing Bills vs. Panthers

Last week, the Buffalo Bills hosted their first public event at Highmark Stadium with the annual Return of the Blue & Red practice. Later this afternoon, the Bills will play their first football game in their new stadium when Buffalo welcomes the Carolina Panthers to Western New York for a 1 p.m. kickoff in Week […]

Thurman Thomas & 34 Group, Inc. key to Bills’ new Highmark Stadium construction

Thurman Thomas is a legend and an icon whose tenacity and grit coupled with truly awe-inspiring traits as a shifty dual-threat running back paved the way for an NFL Hall of Fame career that lasted 12 seasons with the Buffalo Bills. The franchise’s Super Bowl teams were perhaps as much defined by Thomas’ work as […]

Buffalo Bills among 3 teams that have called Buccaneers about Vita Vea, per report

The Buffalo Bills have a sudden need along the interior of their defensive line following news that defensive tackle Phidarian Mathis will be suspended for the first three games of the 2026 NFL season. It remains to be seen how new defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard will tackle that concern, given that Mathis was one of […]

Buffalo Bills DT Phidarian Mathis suspended 3 games to start 2026 NFL season

The Buffalo Bills will be without the services of defensive tackle Phidarian Mathis to begin the 2026 NFL season. News trickled down on Friday, August 14 that Mathis has been handed a three-game suspension. Mathis is being disciplined for “an alcohol-related incident in spring 2025, per a league source,” as shared by ESPN Bills reporter […]

Which Buffalo Bills defender rises to lead in 2026?

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Bills fans and fans across the country. We’re back with another Reacts poll to end the work week, Rumblers! Buffalo Bills preseason football is at our doorstep, and we know that it hypes […]

Buffalo Bills re-sign safety ahead of preseason opener vs. Panthers

He was an undrafted free-agent signee by the Buffalo Bills after the 2025 NFL Draft and is now back on the roster after being released in late July. Former Yale and New Hampshire do-everything safety Wande Owens was re-signed by the team one day before the preseason opener against the Panthers inside the new Highmark […]

Bills news: Biggest risers and fallers heading into preseason opener

After months of organized team activities, offseason workouts and inter-squad scrimmages, the Buffalo Bills are finally ready to face another NFL team when the Bills open their preseason schedule Saturday at home against the Carolina Panthers. Leading up to Week 1 of the preseason, today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by examining a few […]

Bills vs. Panthers: Let the depth evaluations begin

Depth. It’s boringly repeated ad nauseam by GMs and coaches before and during every NFL season, and it’s easily dismissed as irrelevant coach or executive speak. But for as much as it seems sensible to label the NFL as a “star-driven” league — and we certainly know the stars exceptionally well — in January and […]

Buffalo Bills 2026 scouting report: tackle/guard Jude Bowry

The Buffalo Bills under general manager Brandon Beane have done a good job building offensive line depth. Beane has a type, too, as he often takes shots at very athletic pieces up front who have the athleticism to play at multiple positions. If you’re going to be a backup offensive lineman in Buffalo, you need […]

Buffalo Bills cosplay: Final paint and more, breastplate

We’re getting closer and closer to a full set of Mandalorian armor decked out in Buffalo Bills flair. I’ve got final paint on the leg and shoulder pieces, the helmet was revealed early thanks to the Bills themselves copying my design and forcing my hand. I made some promises along the way though, and I […]

Ranking likeliest Brandon Beane August Trade candidates on Buffalo Bills roster

Brandon Beane loves himself an August trade. It started with Sammy Watkins, Ronald Darby, and Reggie Ragland in his first August as Bills GM. Others since include Eli Harold for Ryan Bates, sending Wyatt Teller to the Browns, and netting late-round selections for the likes of Corey Coleman, Russell Bodine, Darryl Johnson, Boogie Basham, and […]

Buffalo Bills 2026 scouting report: running back Ray Davis

Last season the Buffalo Bills employed the NFL’s leading rusher. That’s the first time that happened since O.J. Simpson was carrying the football in 1976. With that kind of output from your top running back, opportunities for any of the reserve rushers are obviously going to be limited. The Bills had a pretty clear hierarchy […]
