Ty Johnson, not Ray Davis, should be the Buffalo Bills RB2 in 2026

The Buffalo Bills need more Ty Johnson in their life. So much so that the veteran runner distinctly becomes the team’s RB2 behind reigning rushing champ James Cook. Sure, Josh Allen has called Johnson “the best third-down running back in the league,” and while that descriptor comes directly from a common football label unrelated to […]

Buffalo Bills DL Phidarian Mathis poised for emergence under Jim Leonhard

Phidarian Mathis was a draft bust. No doubt about it. The Washington Commanders selected him at No. 47 overall in the 2022 NFL Draft after an illustrious career at Alabama, and he registered 25 tackles, one tackle for loss, one pass deflection, and one fumble recovery in three seasons in the nation’s capitol before being […]

Josh Allen leads all NFL players in merchandise

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has become one of the faces of the NFL since being selected with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft out of Wyoming, and Allen’s popularity stretches well beyond the Western New York region. Earlier this month, the NFL Players Association (NFLPA) released its annual year-ending Top […]

Bills news: Edge rusher Michael Hoecht confident he’ll be ready for training camp

The Buffalo Bills envisioned Michael Hoecht being a difference-maker when they signed the versatile defensive lineman last offseason, but the team knew they would have to wait to see Hoecht’s contributions since he had to sit out the first six games for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing drugs policy. When Hoecht finally returned to the field […]

Buffalo Bills 2026 scouting report: guard Ar’Maj Reed-Adams

The Buffalo Bills have been remarkably stable along the offensive line of late. Since the 2021 season, all five of their linemen have made at least 13 starts together. Most of their linemen have been exceptionally consistent, but they’ve also been exceptionally healthy. OVer the last two season,s their interior offensive line has been particularly […]

Bills news: Early preview of biggest training camp battles

The Buffalo Bills will next gather as a team at St. John Fisher University in the Rochester, NY, suburb of Pittsford beginning on July 29 for the start of training camp, the next step in the team’s offseason workout program. Heading into training camp, there are questions on both sides of Buffalo’s roster that must […]

It’s OK to be optimistic about Keon Coleman in 2026

As a fan of the Buffalo Bills, I generally tend to be pretty optimistic when it comes to the team. Even through the years of the drought, I would regularly talk about “hope” and how one or two plays could swing things in our favor each season. While those years were tough for many of […]

Buffalo Bills 2026 scouting report: defensive back Sam Franklin Jr.

Every team needs role players. The Buffalo Bills aren’t exempt from this. Whether we’re talking about pee-wee football or the NFL, there are players who are going to have the “glamour roles,” and there are those who are going to do the dirty work. When you’re eight years old, nobody wants to be on the […]

Josh Allen, Hailee Steinfeld announce baby name

We now know the name of Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld’s daughter. Steinfeld released the highly anticipated baby name within her newsletter, Beau Society. You can enter your email to get the newsletter right here.

Buffalo Bills 2026 scouting report: outside linebacker Andre Jones Jr.

The Buffalo Bills have a new defensive scheme, and with that comes new responsibilities for some old friends. The defensive ends in former head coach Sean McDermott’s 4-3 (or, perhaps more accurately, his 4-2-5) scheme are now outside linebackers in new defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard’s 3-4 scheme. Will that lead to some surprise keeps on […]

Buffalo Bills 2026 scouting report: defensive back Te’Cory Couch

The Buffalo Bills operated in a zone-heavy scheme under head coach Sean McDermott. With McDermott gone, the Bills are transitioning to a new defense under defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard, a defense that has been advertised as far more aggressive than the one Bills’ fans became accustomed to seeing over the last ten years. Will this […]

Bills news: What does former UFL MVP bring to Buffalo’s backfield?

Last season, the Buffalo Bills led the NFL in rushing yards and dynamic running back James Cook was the NFL’s rushing champion after scampering for 1,621 yards on 309 carries, a robust 5.2 yards per run. The Bills have a crowded running back room, led by Cook, Ty Johnson, Ray Davis and practice squad back […]

Buffalo reigns supreme as city most deserving to win a championship

The sights from the New York Knicks championship parade on Thursday in Manhattan were remarkable and fittingly large-scale in the biggest city in America. The Knicks and their fans partied like it had been 50-plus years since the team’s last title. As I took in some of the content from orange and blue clad spectacle, […]

Plays That Defined 2025: Bills at Falcons; Week 6

The 2025 Buffalo Bills season has been written, but the book is incomplete. Before we cast our full attention toward the 2026 season, let’s take one last glance back over our shoulder for our annual look at the Plays That Defined the prior campaign. For any newcomers, first and foremost; Welcome! When it comes to […]

Buffalo Bills sign United Bowl MVP RB Ian Wheeler

There’s a new member of the Buffalo Bills running back room — Ian Wheeler. Most notably on the field as a professional to date, Wheeler won a United Football League title with the Louisville Kings on June 13 and was named the United Bowl MVP after rushing for 81 yards and a touchdown in the […]

Do Buffalo Bills fans view Josh Allen or Bruce Smith as best player in team history?

It’s Bruce Smith’s birthday — the Hall of Famer and Buffalo Bills legend turned 63 today. He, of course, is the NFL’s all-time sack leader — with 200 of them, a colossal number. I strongly feel his 1990 campaign with 101 tackles, 19 sacks, and five forced fumbles, (tackles for loss weren’t tracked yet) remains […]

2026 NFL season: Why teams are not what their record says they are

“You are what your record says you are” is one of Bill Parcells’ most famous adages. While I was never a fan of Parcells’ coaching demeanor, I certainly respect his longevity and success as an NFL head coach. However, I wholeheartedly do not agree with Parcells’ trademark adage. A lot of people don’t. It’s significantly […]

Buffalo Bills 2026 scouting report: inside linebacker Jimmy Ciarlo

As a Buffalo Bills fan living in the Hudson Valley, there aren’t many connections to my “home” as it relates to the team I love. When I was a kid, I would often use my imported NCAA Football draft class rosters in my Madden franchises to create that connection, since I always took the Army […]

NFL analytics: The metric with strong predictive power to pick the Super Bowl winner

Recently, I took about the most granular view possible of the Buffalo Bills in the playoffs — and compared those singular plays to what transpired with the Los Angeles Rams in the same time frame. On that article, I received this super-insightful comment from from Rumbler garsimeon on how he decides who really are the […]

Bills news: Bradley Chubb is hungry to lead Buffalo to a championship

The Buffalo Bills’ big defensive acquisition this offseason was edge rusher Bradley Chubb, who was signed to bolster Buffalo’s pass rush, especially in the playoffs, where the Bills have consistently failed to generate enough pressure in their previous postseason losses. Chubb comes to Western New York with an intense drive to help the Bills finally […]

Buffalo Bills pre-training camp 53-man roster prediction

The Buffalo Bills are doing their best to prevent the next few weeks from being “the dog days of summer” The ribbon cutting on New Highmark Stadium is next week, and the buzz surrounding the team’s first new stadium since 1972 will help to make the time between mandatory minicamp and training camp a little […]

Joe Brady was “devastated” about Sean McDermott’s firing

The days following the Buffalo Bills 33-30 loss to the Denver Broncos in the divisional round were a lot for the team’s fans… and their coaches, including Joe Brady. In an exclusive sit-down with Matt Parrino of NewYorkUpstate.com, Buffalo’s new head coach spoke on his emotions when he got word of the McDermott firing in […]

Cole Bishop is the right man at the right time for Jim Leonhard’s defense

For three straight Januarys, the Buffalo Bills have lost because their defense couldn’t produce enough game-changing plays on the biggest stage — no sack, no strip, no pick, no stop with the season on the line. The offense kept manufacturing chances and the defense, despite solid stretches in some of those games, never could fully […]

91 Buffalo Bills players in 91 days: offensive tackle Chase Lundt

The Buffalo Bills have multiple options along the offensive line. They return four of their five starters from last season, as they are only missing David Edwards, who was the starting left guard. The Bills even return most of their reserves, although they did lose swing tackle Ryan Van Demark, who signed with the Minnesota […]
