While some NFL teams tend to rely on one running back—the Titans' Chris Johnson and the Rams' Steven Jackson come to mind—the Buffalo Bills appear to be set on going with a hybrid three-back attack for the upcoming season. The Bills' defense was on the field for more than four minutes a game on average compared to the opposition defense last season. That's not exactly a winning formula. In addition, the ...

Posted: 25th June 2010 by Dan Van Wie in NFL
The rumor mill has continued to churn and burn about when and where Marshawn Lynch will be traded. The Buffalo Bills have maintained all along that they have no interest in trading Lynch, as he is still under contract. Sure enough, Lynch ended his overtures about being unhappy, and wound up reporting to Buffalo to join the team for a portion of the voluntary workouts (one day only) and for the ...

Should Flozell Adams Go to the Buffalo Bills?

Posted: 3rd April 2010 by Dan Van Wie in NFL
It is no secret that the Buffalo Bills are in need of help on the offensive line—especially at both tackle positions. The Dallas Cowboys just released All-Pro tackle Flozell Adams, and the Bills would be very wise to consider bringing Adams in for a visit and a possible contract offer. He would bring some maturity, leadership, and experience to the Bills' young linemen. He would be able to serve as a ...

Does Buffalo Bills’ GM Buddy Nix Have Some Aces Up His Sleeve?

Posted: 28th March 2010 by Dan Van Wie in NFL
We are counting down the final days of March, and then we will be counting down the month of April until the NFL draft begins. Free agency has netted the Bills some players that will contribute in 2010, such as Cornell Green, Andra Davis, and Dwan Edwards. While those players will help, the Bills' fans were hoping for an even greater haul. But to my way of thinking, there still appears ...
You know when you walk through the various aisles at the store, and you see so many products marked "new," "improved," "brightest," "best tasting," etc.? Well, if you picture the makeup of the 2010 Buffalo Bills roster and season, envision something of a similar nature. There will be some bright spots and some ups and downs—but until you actually try the product out and put it to the test, you really don't ...
So far, the Buffalo Bills have yet to make a major splash in the current offseason free agency market. If you are of the opinion that Cornell Green and Joe Klopfenstein were major splashes, then you probably also thought that Marv Levy was the greatest general manager in Bills history. However, there is still hope on the horizon. Two noteworthy defensive players are visiting the Bills today. Either player would be considered ...
Word came out of Cincinnati today that free agent wide receiver Antonio Bryant has signed a long-term deal to join the Bengals. This follows the news from the prior week that the Cardinals had dealt Anquan Boldin to the Baltimore Ravens. Coming into the offseason, Terrell Owens was formally released by the Buffalo Bills as a free agent to join any team he wanted. Just like last year, there were only ...
A Super Bowl Championship. Victory parades down main street, as witnessed in this picture of the New Orleans Saints, fresh off winning Super Bowl 44. Becoming fat cats on the banquet circuit. These are the goals and bi-products of what every NFL team sets out to do each season, to be Super Bowl Champions. For the final eight playoff teams from this past season, they were able to make the playoffs, ...
