It feels like the Buffalo Bills haven’t played a game in ages, thanks to the team’s Ween 7 bye. That’s what happens when a team loses two games in a row against opponents they should have been able to push aside. Almost nothing’s come easy for the Bills through six games this season, but there’s […]

The Buffalo Bills have, to put it lightly, struggled to stop the run this season. They’ve been gashed to the tune of 5.8 yards allowed per rushing attempt, by far the worst in the league.

The Buffalo Bills’ bye week can be a bit of a double-edged sword for content. On one hand, without a game to look back on the door is wide open to explore ideas. On the other hand, exploration can take time and energy. The routine of a “normal” week allows that time and energy to […]

On Wednesday, the Buffalo Bills held their first practice of Week 8.

The Buffalo Bills are struggling to field a dominant passing game, which is an uncomfortable thing to say about a unit led by quarterback Josh Allen. It’s also true, and something needs to change. Short of making a ground-shaking trade or finding a diamond-in-the-rough midseason free agent, it means that offensive coordinator Joe Brady must […]

A few weeks ago I made a comment that the Buffalo Bills were one of the lower-penalized teams in the league, and that this was atypical for them. Well, they’ve righted the ship. Of course by “righted” I mean they’ve had several bad games in a row and are now in line with typical Sean […]

Although fans can debate whether the offense or defense carries the plurality of blame for the disappointment associated […]

The Buffalo Bills and their fans are hyper-focused on one thing: winning the Super Bowl. That’s true of any NFL team and fan base, but it hits a bit different for a select few franchises where no Lombardi Trophy sits. Buffalo hasn’t even appeared in the big game since the 1993 season, their fourth-consecutive, yet […]

Week 7 in Atlanta, consecutive game number 88 for me, was everything the personal side of me wanted but everything the fan side of me did not. I flew in Sunday morning, where my friend LeShawn graciously picked me up from the airport and dropped me at my hotel so I didn’t have to deal with […]

The Buffalo Bills entered their bye week on a two-game losing streak that included disappointing losses to the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons. Quarterback Josh Allen and company now have to try and get back on track in Week 8, but their opponent has been on a bit of an unexpected win streak. The […]

The pervading narrative about the Buffalo Bills is that recent stumbles have thrown up some red flags about this year’s team. The 4-0 start against losing teams wasn’t very impressive, and the back-to-back losses against the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons exposed vulnerabilities in a defense that’s regressed and an offense that’s lost its […]
