Buffalo Bills news, notes, discussions, opinions and analysis. 24/7/365 since 4/7/2007.
The 2026 regular season schedule has been released for the National Football League. All eyes, especially in Western New York and those who live near Bills Backers’ Bars across the country are looking at the Buffalo Bills Week 1 opponent…the Houston Texans. It’s a team that has given the Bills fits the last couple of […]
For those of you who’ve read and hung out at Buffalo Rumblings long enough, you understand that I’m against giving much in the way of Buffalo Bills game predictions. That’s especially the case when asked to do so during a Five Questions gauntlet in-season. Yet, here I am, writing an admittedly far too early article […]
After plenty of outside speculation and debate bathed in rumors, the Buffalo Bills have finally officially revealed the contents of their 2026 NFL regular-season schedule. As the second-place finisher from the 2025 NFL season, Buffalo gets an especially challenging itinerary to kick off life in the new Highmark Stadium. Below we’ll have all the details […]
The Buffalo Bills used to live in the NFL’s Sunday afternoon shadows. Since 2020, Buffalo has transformed into one of the league’s most watched teams on a national scale. As Josh Allen’s rise turned the Bills into a contender, the television exposure followed right behind it. From Sunday Night Football spotlights to Thursday night dominance, […]
Later today, the NFL will officially release the league schedule for the 2026 season, which means this evening we’ll know the entirety of the Buffalo Bills’ 2026 schedule. But it’s become common practice for the league — and its broadcast partners — to slowly roll out schedule-based content throughout the week ahead of the schedule […]
The Buffalo Bills are set to play a gauntlet of quarterbacks in the 2026 regular season. Nowadays there are much better ways than in the past to determine how difficult a team’s schedule will likely be. Warren Sharp among others intelligently use Vegas’ win totals for the opponents for each team, which is significantly better […]
While the Buffalo Bills’ opponent in Week 1 has not been made official yet, if the most reputable NFL schedule leaker on social media is to be believed, we know how that opponent will be. The Houston Texans. At 1pm ET. NerdingonNFL has become the gold standard in the hyper-niche NFL schedule release leaking game, […]
There’s been some hubbub about the total travel distance the Buffalo Bills will rack up this season to get to games outside Orchard Park (notice I didn’t say “away” games, that’s what we call “a hint”). Now most of the articles about Buffalo traveling close to 20,000 miles this season are comparing it to other […]
As the NFL’s offseason continues, the date when the schedules for all 32 teams are released has become a popular offseason highlight as fans mark their calendars for which home games they’ll attend and plan for the road trips they want to make for the coming season. We already know the Buffalo Bills will make […]
The Buffalo Bills will distinctly be part of your Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays this year — for those who celebrate — as the NFL has placed Josh Allen and Co. in each of marquee spotlight during the 2026 season. The Bills will host Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs inside new Highmark Stadium on Thanksgiving night, […]
The Buffalo Bills used to live in the NFL’s Sunday afternoon shadows. Since 2020, Buffalo has transformed into one of the league’s most watched teams on a national scale. As Josh Allen’s rise turned the Bills into a contender, the television exposure followed right behind it. From Sunday Night Football spotlights to Thursday night dominance, […]
Under Sean McDermott, the run defense was always a distant second priority to the pass defense. While I do vehemently defend the notion that pass defense is more important, things can get out of hand. The 2025 season was when I think many of us felt the run defense needed some attention. The recent addition […]
The NFL Schedule Release became a proper noun about a decade ago, and the league has decided to morph that transformation into a week-long hullabaloo with time and date info on specific games trickling out before the actual release show, in primetime, on Thursday. When the schedule is actually released, it’s always a blast evaluating […]
The Buffalo Bills traded for wide receiver Amari Cooper at the 2024 NFL trade deadline. It feels like forever ago, and in a lot of ways it was. Cooper didn’t play great in Buffalo, but he still had a little gas in the tank. Cooper was out of the NFL in 2025 after retiring from […]
I recently laid out how Brandon Beane has drafted as the Buffalo Bills general manager relative to NFL-wide historical expectations for every single draft pick. The natural follow is to then compare Beane’s results to other perceived top GMs in the NFL, over the same time period. I used 2018 – 2023 in the initial […]
Buffalo Bills have made another post-draft signing, this time it’s on offense — former Lions tight end Shane Zylstra has been added on a one-year contract. On Monday, the team agreed to terms on a one-year deal with former Chiefs edge rusher Mike Danna. The signing’s corresponding move — to keep the Bills roster at […]
Assessing the quality of Brandon Beane’s drafts is a hotly debated topic among Buffalo Bills fans, and one to which I assume they ultimately want a definitive answer. I’ve set out to provide that answer, and it goes far beyond how I personally feel the draft work of the club’s president of football operations and […]
On Monday afternoon, it was officially announced that the Buffalo Bills would host the Detroit Lions on Amazon Prime’s first Thursday Night Football game of the season on September 17. This game will take place during the second week of the 2026 season, as the Bills play their first regular season game at the new […]
The Buffalo Bills have signed OLB/DE Mike Danna, formerly a member of conference rival Kansas City. With the Bills’ coaching change being what it is, a defensive facelift was a pretty predictable outcome for this season. What do the Buffalo Bills see in Danna? Kansas City has won a big game or two during Danna’s […]
For dynasty fantasy football players, the moment the clock strikes zero on the NFL Draft at the end of April, the strategizing begins for their annual rookie drafts. 10 team or 12 team, superflex or not, tight end premium or not, PPR or standard…whatever the structure, players all over the world are locking in as […]
The Buffalo Bills continue to tinker with their roster during the offseason, and the latest signing is a veteran pass rusher and two-time Super Bowl champion: Mike Danna (pictured below). On Monday, the Bills signed Danna, officially listed as an outside linebacker, to a one-year contract, and today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by […]
The Buffalo Bills are adding a pass-rusher to their defensive line, as the club has announced it has come to terms with veteran edge-rusher Mike Danna, who visited with the team late last week. Danna, 28, spent the first six seasons of his career with the Chiefs and faced the Bills nine times since his […]
After the first non-AFC East winning campaign since 2019, the Buffalo Bills can reasonably look for clear improvement in many key areas of their roster for the 2026 season. Let’s go position-by-position, identifying which position groups are better or worse than last year’s iteration for the Bills. QUARTERBACK: Push — Sure, there’s a new backup […]
For the rookies, undrafted free agents and veterans who gathered in Orchard Park Friday and Saturday, Rookie Minicamp represented their first opportunity to make a great impression on Brandon Beane and Joe Brady while stating their case to earn a spot on the Buffalo Bills roster. Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by hearing […]
I genuinely liked this 2026 draft for the Buffalo Bills. And I mean that. After going through every pick and asking myself what I would have done instead, I’m honestly not sure my class is better than Beane’s. That’s a real compliment to the GM and his scouting staff. But I’d be lying if I […]
