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 are back at it this week, fresh off a much-needed bye in Week 7. Will that week of rest help the Bills re-calibrate their season after a two-game slide? Buffalo is still very much a force in the playoff hunt, but in recent weeks they’ve dropped from the one seed in the […]

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 […]

Oh man, with the site changes and getting acclimated to a new full-time job things have been a little hectic. Which is what I’m blaming for the “totally not 100% my fault” error of forgetting to finish my annual Plays That Defined the Buffalo Bills’ season series. We were close though. There’s only four plays […]

When the Buffalo Bills return to the field this week, they’ll likely have two new faces rotating in along the defensive line.

Well, we’re almost through another Sunday of NFL football, and the Buffalo Bills didn’t lose. However, they didn’t find the help they needed in Week 7, thanks to the Tennessee Titans (who started off well) losing a home game to the New England Patriots. Now, the Patriots march toward Week 8 with both a half […]

The Buffalo Bills are on their bye week right now but entered Sunday tied for the lead in the AFC East. With some help from the Tennessee Titans, Buffalo could be back on top of the division without even playing. It wasn’t meant to be. The Patriots took care of business and now New England […]

The Buffalo Bills (and Baltimore Ravens) are idle in Week 7, but there’s plenty of football to enjoy. You know you’re tuning in even if you only have eyes for the Bills. It’s okay, everyone does it. In fact, within the world of SB Nation, no fan base is as active and interested in league-wide […]

The Buffalo Bills aren’t playing their best football right now, which means the bye week has come at a really beneficial time. Sometimes a pause/reset is necessary to get the wheels back on the track. With quarterback Josh Allen at the controls, you can be sure that the Bills won’t be held down all season. […]

The Buffalo Bills traveled to Atlanta to take on the Falcons in a game where they were generally favored. Instead, the team struggled to accomplish much of anything in a contest where they never seemed to be in control. Speaking of “out of control,” as you might surmise by the headline, the Buffalo defense had […]

So… is it time to overreact, Bills Mafia? No, but go on if you must. The Buffalo Bills aren’t very good right now, held up only by the four wins they stole from teams that are now a combined 3-21 on the season. Even their Week 1 win against the Baltimore Ravens comes with an […]

Among the litany of complaints fans of the Buffalo Bills had after their team’s 24-14 setback versus the Atlanta Falcons was the puzzling usage of Pro Bowl running back James Cook. Or rather, how it seemed offensive coordinator Joe Brady forgot all about his talented running back when dialing up plays in Atlanta. Today’s edition […]

Here we go, Bills Mafia! We’re picking sides tonight for Thursday Night Football, and the best option is to root on the Cincinnati Bengals. Why should you care who wins? That’s a great question, actually! The Pittsburgh Steelers are currently 4-1, and serve as a problem for the Buffalo Bills. With one less loss to […]

Well, that makes two tough weekends in a row with games reminiscent of the Drought Era rather that part of the Josh Allen Experience. It would appear that maybe, indeed, the sky is falling. At least this week. Bills Mafia needs this bye week as much as the Buffalo Bills themselves do. A weekend to […]
