This Sunday, the Buffalo Bills (3-5) travel to the Tennessee Titans (2-6) in a game that involves two teams with a losing record and defenses that rank dead last in a number of categories.
The Bills enter the week 10 contest coming off of their bye week. As a result, the team is rested and is a little bit healthier than they have been in quite some time. Look at the ...
When your team is on a bye week, there is only so many things your idle mind can do. This idle mind was listening to So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright on my i-Pod. I saw a flash on the computer screen of the Bills vs Oilers playoff game, the greatest comeback in NFL history. With apologies to Simon and Garfunkel, the next thing I knew, I was plugging Frank ...
Eight games down, eight games to go. We have now reached the halfway point of the season, and now with a convenient bye week at hand, we are primed to assess how the Buffalo Bills have performed so far in their 50th Anniversary season. With a 3-5 record on the books, and sitting alone at the bottom of the AFC East Division, the team will be heading in ...

Posted: 3rd November 2009 by Dan Van Wie in NFL
Was sitting down to watch the Monday Night Football game tonight as Atlanta Falcons were visiting the New Orleans Saints. As the game unfolded I kept hearing all of these names that previously were involved with the Buffalo Bills organization.
As I pondered the fate of these ex-Bills, I realized the irony of what was unfolding. Atlanta's offensive coordinator, Mike Mularkey, was going up against New Orleans' defensive coordinator, Gregg Williams, ...

Coming into the Week Eight contest, we laid out the keys for the Buffalo Bills match up against the Houston Texans. We were hoping that some of the injured starters could return to play; namely Jonathan Scott, Bryan Scott, or Donte Whitner. None of the three did.

You want to know what was the best part of the Bills overtime win against the Jets?
Seeing the ghosts of field goals past (especially those haunting ghosts that congregate on the 47 yard line) being banished forever with one kick from the foot of Ryan Lindell.

I tip my hat to Ralph to be able to keep functioning as well as he has. Congratulations, Ralph, on your justly deserved election to the NFL Hall ...
