Could the Bills trade for Brian Thomas Jr.?
The Buffalo Bills have what might be best described as an incomplete passing attack. You’d be hard-pressed to find anyone claiming the Bills have a no-doubt-about-it WR1. We’ve been told that’s by design, with last season’s introduction of the “everybody eats” mantra. It worked well last season, culminating in quarterback Josh Allen winning his first […]

Steelers vs. Packers Week 8 ‘SNF’ open thread
It’s reunion night for Aaron Rodgers, who played quarterback 18 seasons for the Green Bay Packers. In any line of work during the 21st century, that’s a long tenure.

Bills HC Sean McDermott helping DC Bobby Babich call plays
The Buffalo Bills have faced a mountain of criticism for their work on defense in 2025.
