Buffalo Bills news, notes, discussions, opinions and analysis. 24/7/365 since 4/7/2007.
Coming out of their bye week, the Buffalo Bills shared positive news that cornerback Maxwell Hairston, the team’s rookie first-round selection in 2025, was having his 21-day return-to-practice window opened. Now recovered from an LCL injury suffered in the early goings of training camp, Hairston appears set to make his regular-season debut with the Bills […]
A few weeks ago I made a comment that the Buffalo Bills were one of the lower-penalized teams in the league, and that this was atypical for them. Well, they’ve righted the ship. Of course by “righted” I mean they’ve had several bad games in a row and are now in line with typical Sean […]
Defenses are being aggressive against the Buffalo Bills’ offense. The Bills have a lot of work to do coming off their bye week. Essentially, no aspect of the team can be considered 100% optimal through seven weeks. Although fans can debate whether the offense or defense carries the plurality of blame for the disappointment associated […]
Rookie cornerback Maxwell Hairston has been sidelined with an LCL sprain he suffered on July 29 during the Buffalo Bills’ training camp. It was an injury that sent Hairston to Injured Reserve (IR), forcing him to miss Buffalo’s first six games of his rookie season. But on Monday, the Bills opened Hairston’s 21-day return-to-practice window, […]
The Buffalo Bills and their fans are hyper-focused on one thing: winning the Super Bowl. That’s true of any NFL team and fan base, but it hits a bit different for a select few franchises where no Lombardi Trophy sits. Buffalo hasn’t even appeared in the big game since the 1993 season, their fourth-consecutive, yet […]
Wide receiver Tyler Lockett has reportedly asked the Tennessee Titans to release him after just seven games playing for Nashville’s football team. Adam Schefter reports that Lockett will be a free agent on Wednesday, October 22 at 4 p.m. EDT. Should this news interest the Buffalo Bills? There’s more than a few opinions about what […]
In neglecting to remember we needed an open thread early for tonight’s action, let this brief intro serve as your entry way to tonight’s Monday Night Football doubleheader. First up it’s the Detroit Lions versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In terms of Buffalo Bills rooting interests, we’re team Tampa tonight. It’s never fun rooting against […]
The Buffalo Bills are one step closer to seeing rookie cornerback Max Hairston in action during the 2025 NFL season. Hairston has been on Injured Reserve (IR) since suffering an LCL sprain on July 29, during training camp this past summer. Bills Mafia were hopeful to see Hairston lock down opposing teams’ wide receivers in […]
After six weeks, the Buffalo Bills have the kind of offense that most NFL teams envy. They rank fourth in the NFL in points per game (27.8), third in the NFL in total yards (2,270), second in the NFL in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns (906 and 9, respectively), and 13th in passing yardage (1,364) […]
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 will have to make a late adjustment to their Week 8 pregame prep. Carolina Panthers starting quarterback Bryce Young is expected to miss next weekend’s game after suffering a high ankle sprain in Week 7. Veteran quarterback Andy Dalton is the next man up, and likely to see his first start of […]
Through the first seven weeks of the 2025 NFL schedule, the Buffalo Bills find themselves in an unfamiliar position: in second place in the AFC East, looking up at the New England Patriots following a two-game slide leading up to the team’s bye week. Looking at the rest of the AFC, there is no true […]
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. Defensive end Michael Hoecht and defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi, each of whom signed with Buffalo as free agents in March, are set to return from suspension this week now that their six-game bans […]
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 […]
Rinse; wash; repeat. That’s where we’re at right now when it comes to the Buffalo Bills, Rumblers. While some readers have suspected shenanigans when it comes to the results of our weekly confidence polls, the numbers actually might put that conspiracy to bed. Are there a few people who might go to rival sites intent […]
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 […]
Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane loves to wheel and deal, and if recent history is any indicator, Beane is exploring ways to improve his team through a trade before the NFL’s trade deadline. With the Bills having lost their last two games, today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by examining a few potential […]
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 […]
The Buffalo Bills are still the No. 5 seed in the AFC playoff picture, but after dropping their last two games and falling behind the New England Patriots in the AFC East standings, there is plenty of cause for concern as the Bills sit idle in Week 7. For the first time under head coach […]
