Khalil Shakir, Ed Oliver dealing with injuries ahead of joint practice, preseason game vs. Browns
Speaking to the media before his team squares off in joint practice against the Cleveland Browns, Buffalo Bills head coach Joe Brady provided health updates on two key members of the team. Both Khalil Shakir and Ed Oliver are currently nursing injuries, per Brady: He did not elaborate further on the severity of each ailment, […]
Buffalo Bills fans grade signing of DL Greg Gaines
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. There’s been no shortage of discussion about the Buffalo Bills’ plans along the defensive line. After a nearly 10-year run in former head coach Sean McDermott’s […]
T.J. Sanders is the ultimate X-factor on new Buffalo Bills defense
The biggest X-factor on the Bills 2026 defense is hardly discussed by fans or media despite the fact he was an early-round pick a year ago. It’s T.J. Sanders, and I’m writing this piece to raise awareness of his importance to and potential within Buffalo’s defense under Jim Leonhard. Think about it — in back-to-back […]
Buffalo Bills Superfans: Final paint, spaulders
You got a tease of the paint on the armor before, and if you’re like I was, once you saw the first color coat go on, you were eager to see the final result. Anyway, I have the spaulders complete, including final paint. Right spaulder – Mafia means family Remember that each of the supplemental […]
Buffalo Bills 2026 scouting report: cornerback Christian Benford
The Buffalo Bills have some question marks in the defensive secondary. While they have plenty of talented players, there’s a fear that both of their likely top corners are somewhat prone to injury. Perhaps it’s unfair to designate a player who’s only been in the NFL for a season as injury prone, but for Buffalo’s […]
Identifying teams that may want to trade with Buffalo Bills
The stars are aligning for a Brandon Beane August Trade to materialize in the near future. Last week, I wrote about potential candidates to be shipped in a trade, two of which were offensive linemen. And now offensive line injuries are popping up across the league. On Wednesday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported a serious injury […]
Buffalo Bills fans ready for new defensive leadership in 2026
Late last week we asked Rumblers to weigh in about Buffalo Bills defensive leadership for the 2026 NFL season with our most recent Reacts poll, specifically asking which Bills defender rises to lead this year. It was a fun topic, mostly because at this point all we can do is posit wild guesses and theories […]
Texans lose second-year WR for season ahead of Week 1’s game vs. Bills
The Houston Texans will be down an important receiver when they square off against the Buffalo Bills in Week 1 to begin the 2026 regular season. Second-year pro Jayden Higgins, a 2025 second-round pick, was lost for the season after tearing his ACL in Houston’s joint practice with the Raiders this week. Higgins was the […]
2026 NFL season projection model pegs Buffalo Bills with second-most wins in AFC
‘Tis the time of the year when season projections are released by NFL media members and analytics enthusiasts alike, and a major one just dropped with the Buffalo Bills in a familiar spot in the AFC hierarchy. Austin Mock of The Athletic published the AFC results of his 2026 NFL season projection model which includes […]
Quick All-22 look at what Greg Gaines brings to Buffalo Bills
The Buffalo Bills have signed nose tackle Greg Gaines, who most recently played with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With Gaines already a rotational piece in Tampa, there’s no expectation for him to come in and usurp anyone’s spot. That said, with most defensive schemes becoming a hybrid style, is it possible Gaines could carve out […]
Bills news: Observations from Tuesday’s open practice at Highmark Stadium
On Tuesday, the Buffalo Bills opened up new Highmark Stadium for an open practice session, an opportunity for many in Western New York to check out the Bills’ new palace for the first time. More than 41,000 fans took advantage of the opportunity to watch Josh Allen and co. run through their drills and workouts […]
Buffalo Bills 2026 scouting report: inside linebacker Dorian Williams
The Buffalo Bills defense has undergone a major transition this offseason. Gone is the read-and-react scheme of former head coach Sean McDermott. Enter instead a more attacking defense coordinated by former safety Jim Leonhard. Can a personnel grouping that was drafted to fit one system morph into something entirely different in just one season? That […]
Buffalo Bills signing of Greg Gaines was desperately needed
It certainly didn’t have to be Greg Gaines, but the Buffalo Bills were in dire need of a veteran rotational piece at nose tackle behind 22-year-old budding star Deone Walker. Jim Leonhard’s new system, which will feature a front that’s more amorphous than stagnant, does have a three-man defensive line foundation — maybe you’ve heard. […]
Buffalo Bills sign bolster defensive line with former Bucs nose tackle
It had become plainly obvious that the BuffaloBills needed nose tackle reinforcement behind Deone Walker — and now they have it by way of a veteran signing. Per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Bills have agreed to a deal with Greg Gaines. Gaines entered the NFL as a fourth-round pick by the Los Angeles Rams in […]
Buffalo Bills WR Keon Coleman has sprained foot/toe, per ESPN
During Tuesday’s open practice inside the new Highmark Stadium, Buffalo Bills receiver Keon Coleman was a notable non-participant because he was wearing a walking boot, and now we know the specifics of his injury. Kind of. Per ESPN’s Cameron Wolfe, the third-year receiver has been diagnosed with a sprained toe/foot: While it’s good to get […]
Nielsen confirms what Bills Mafia already knew: Buffalo has the NFL’s most avid fans
Bills Mafia, you may now collectively say it: Well, duh. According to Nielsen’s inaugural Scarborough NFL Fandom Index, Buffalo has the most avid NFL fan base in America. For those of us who have spent our lives around other Bills fans, this probably qualifies less as breaking news and more as independent confirmation of something […]
Keon Coleman concerningly did not take part in Buffalo Bills open practice
Keon Coleman caught a touchdown from Josh Allen in the Bills preseason opener, and is now dealing with an injury. According to the media in attendance for Buffalo’s early-morning open practice inside the new Highmark Stadium on Tuesday, the third-year receiver was not participating. Further, he was spotted in a walking boot. Here’s proof: Here’s […]
Buffalo Bills starters won’t play vs. Browns in preseason under one stipulation
The Bills starters played a fair amount of football in Buffalo’s preseason opening win against the Carolina Panthers, but they may not see the field against the Browns. According to Browns head coach Todd Monken, with the clubs taking part in a joint practice on Thursday in Berea, Ohio ahead of the second preseason game […]
What to expect from Buffalo Bills new grass field
The Buffalo Bills played a football game for the first time ever at their new Highmark stadium. If you hadn’t heard by now, it was decided that the new field would have natural grass. Intended to be an upgrade for player safety and performance, the new grass got a proper field test. The divots and […]
Buffalo Bills 2026 scouting report: center/guard Sedrick Van Pran-Granger
The Buffalo Bills have a track record of drafting and developing their players of late, especially along the offensive line. With right guard O’Cyrus Torrence recently signing a four-year extension, that makes three of Buffalo’s five starters signing a second contract with the club. A fourth, Alec Anderson, is set to compete to start at […]
Jim Kelly working to get Andre Reed honored inside new Highmark Stadium
There’s one important new distinction inside the Buffalo Bills new stadium that’s drastically different from the old stadium that stood across the street for over 50 years. Gone is the Wall of Fame. Only a select few Bills legends will be honored with name and number inside the new Highmark Stadium, along with team founder […]
Are the Buffalo Bills really the NFL’s most expensive team to watch live?
A new study conducted by says the Buffalo Bills are now the most expensive team in the NFL to watch in person…I have a problem with that conclusion. Not because attending a Bills game is cheap. It isn’t. Not because tickets for the inaugural season at the new Highmark Stadium aren’t expensive. They absolutely are. […]
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 […]
