Bills news: Takeaways and observations from first depth chart

As the Buffalo Bills prepare to kick off the 2026 season Sunday against the Houston Texans, Bills fans have been curious about a few positional battles, including who would claim the WR3 job and who would handle punt returns. We got preliminary answers to some of those questions on Tuesday, when the Bills released their […]

Week 1 rooting interests for Buffalo Bills fans 

We made it, Bills Mafia.   The NFL season kicks off tonight. We have hours and hours of meaningful football ahead of us this weekend, and we definitely aren’t going to watch it without choosing sides. We’re the number one fan base in the league, after all.  There’s just one problem: We don’t really know who all of our enemies are yet. We […]

Josh Allen series history vs. Houston Texans

The Buffalo Bills will open the 2026 season Sunday at Reliant Stadium against the Houston Texans. It’s a new season, a new coaching staff, a new roster, and a clean record.  There are some places where Josh Allen has built a highlight reel. Houston isn’t one of them.  But there is some history waiting for Allen when he walks back into […]

Buffalo Bills name six captains for 2026 NFL season

The Buffalo Bills have officially named the team’s captains for the 2026 season. Last season, quarterback Josh Allen and linebacker Terrel Bernard were the team’s only named captains. The pair reprise their roles there this season, but four additional players join the leadership team. In total, there are two players each representing offense, defense, and […]

Buffalo Bills first depth chart ahead of Week 1 at Houston Texans

The Buffalo Bills have officially entered game-prep ahead of their season-opening trip south to face the Houston Texans. Longtime members of Bills Mafia need few reminders about the house of horrors that is NRG Stadium for Buffalo. Time and again, in spite of those surrounding quarterback Josh Allen and company, the Bills just can’t escape […]

Bills Mafia’s Houston takeover: Where to party before Bills-Texans

The Buffalo Bills open the 2026 regular season against the Houston Texans on Sunday, September 13. But for Bills Mafia traveling to Houston, kickoff is only one part of the weekend. The Houston Bills Backers have two days of festivities planned, beginning with their annual block party at Christian’s Tailgate on Saturday. On Sunday morning, […]

Buffalo Bills must be prepared for this unique characteristic of Texans defense

The Houston Texans aren’t an exotic defense. They don’t utilize creativity get to the quarterback on a regular basis. It’s probably the NFL’s most straight-forward, pin-your-ears-back defensive scheme. That is not to say the Bills can scrap the gameplanning portion of this week for what their offense will see across the line of scrimmage on […]

Football-tangential things to look forward to during the 2026 NFL regular season

Football is awesome. You’re likely not reading this if you don’t think football is awesome. The most casual of observers don’t come to SB Nation sites and click on stories to read on a random weekday. Thus, I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know. But it’s not just the actual sport of football, […]

What do you want to read at Buffalo Rumblings this Bills season?

I’m writing this article on Labor Day because, after what I hope is an excellent afternoon and evening with friends and family with some of your favorite summertime food, tomorrow the NFL season really begins, as the Buffalo Bills will be well on their way to preparing for the Houston Texans this upcoming Sunday. In […]

Buffalo Bills 2026 scouting report: defensive lineman Greg Gaines

With a switch to an odd-man front on defense, the Buffalo Bills have been changing their defensive personnel throughout this offseason. In some ways, the team has had to be creative, asking players drafted for former head coach Sean McDermott’s four-man defensive line to change their roles and body types in preparation for a season […]

Eight 2025 Buffalo Bills defenders are currently out of the NFL, what does it mean?

With Labor Day approaching, there are 3,352 individual snaps from players on last season’s Buffalo Bills defense who are currently unsigned. Those snaps came from eight players; Tre White, Joey Bosa, Matt Milano, Jordan Poyer, DaQuan Jones, Taylor Rapp, Jordan Phillips, and Larry Ogunjobi, I don’t know how often this happens in the NFL, but […]

Buffalo Bills super fandom: How could I not make a jetpack?

Look, I know. This whole thing is dragging out. If I had been more focused this would have been done in May or June I bet. Here we are with Summer basically over and I have major components of the armor still missing. It might be a relief at least to know that a large […]

Buffalo Bills superfans: Rise of the Skarekrow

The armor has been coming along great. There have been some delays (some valid, some me just getting caught up in other things). The delays have not been without their benefits though. Delays mean I’m thinking and if I’m thinking, I’m planning. That’s led to refinements for the things I originally intended to build, and […]

Bills’ legend Steve Tasker’s Hall of Fame chances just shrank even further

The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced sweeping changes to their voting process on Friday, and it’s going to make the eventual induction of former Buffalo Bills special teams ace Steve Tasker even more difficult. There will no longer be a separate pool of senior nominees who missed selection during their 15-year eligibility window. All […]

Why I am choosing to be patient with DeWayne Carter this season

As the Buffalo Bills announced their initial 53-man roster earlier this week, one of the popular topics focused on third year defensive tackle DeWayne Carter. Fans will recall that Carter was placed on injured reserve prior to the start of the 2025 season, missing the entire year with a torn Achilles. There is always plenty […]

Bills news: Latest news and roster notes

The Buffalo Bills addressed a sneaky need with the addition of veteran wide receiver/punt returner Greg Dortch earlier this week, and today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off with the latest news and roster notes out of One Bills Drive, including dissecting why Dortch (pictured below) could be the solution to a problem that has […]

What color do you want the Buffalo Bills end zones to be?

The first two preseason home games of the Joe Brady era for the Buffalo Bills featured a field with an white outlined Bills logo at midfield and nothing in the end zones. That’s about to change. Bills COO Pete Guelli took to Twitter on Thursday — after an in-studio sitdown on WGR550 — to provide […]

Josh Allen’s spot revealed in NFL’s Top 100 Players list

Earlier this week, we discovered Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen would be the highest-ranked player at his position in the NFL’s Top 100 Players list, and now we know precisely where he has landed. The only player ahead of Allen is none other than Myles Garrett. And, frankly, after the season in which the former […]

Donate blood for a shot at Buffalo Bills tickets

Maybe you’ve heard that the Buffalo Bills just opened their new stadium up and there’s a lot of fun and axciting new features for fans. And perhaps you’ve heard that you can’t get tickets right from the source. It’s possible you’ve even heard that tickets are limited to resale and that the market has been […]

Buffalo Bills initial 2026 roster carries a few surprises

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. It’s time again for Reacts, Rumblers! The Buffalo Bills have just set their initial 53-man roster and filled out the team’s first iteration of the 17-man […]

Buffalo Bills should tap into all of Greg Dortch’s skills

“So that’s who’s going to be the Buffalo Bills punt returner this season,“ the thoughts of many fans after the report and subsequent team announcement of the Greg Dortch signing on Monday. With 99 career punt returns in the NFL, which includes a hefty 11.6 yards-per-return average in 2025, Dortch’s presence on the Bills (practice […]
