Buffalo Bills news, notes, discussions, opinions and analysis. 24/7/365 since 4/7/2007.
The Buffalo Bills led the NFL in rushing yards last season. That was due in large part to the success of top running back James Cook, who led the NFL in rushing yards himself. It doesn’t hurt that quarterback Josh Allen is among the best running quarterbacks in the league, either. With Buffalo returning their […]
In my time covering and analyzing the NFL I’ve found interceptions (and discussions centered around them) to be incredibly fickle. They are one of the game’s most classic, frequently cited statistics but do not come with context, therefore they often miss the mark when attempting to provide proper quarterback assessment. And now, Pro Football Focus […]
Buffalo Bills tight end Jackson Hawes had a really good rookie season in 2025, and an NFL.com writer recently gave the thunderous blocking tight end his props in a recent article on underappreciated players in the league. Shout out to NJT34 for throwing the link into The Feed yesterday. The 25-year-old second-year pro was a […]
The Buffalo Bills are in their second week of Organized Team Activities (OTAs), and while the defensive players are still getting acclimated to the new system being incorporated by new defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard, Leonhard is quick to admit there are several Bills who have impressed him during OTAs. Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads […]
The Buffalo Bills have signed veteran inside linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles to a one-year deal, the team announced Wednesday. Terms of the contract were not immediately disclosed. Flannigan-Fowles, 29, originally entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent following the 2019 NFL Draft. He was a safety in college, playing for the Arizona Wildcats from 2015-2018. […]
In early May, I attempted to pinpoint precisely what a Buffalo Bills trade of Keon Coleman would look like. And now that a panel of ESPN staffers have chimed in, it’s time to circle back on this currently moot point that still holds a fair amount of intrigue. The ESPN piece features four panelists — […]
The Buffalo Bills are no stranger to rostering the children of former players. For the last two seasons, future Hall of Fame running back Frank Gore’s son, Frank Gore Jr., has been on the club. Cornerback Daryl Porter Jr.‘s father, also named Daryl Porter, was a special teams player and defensive back for the Bills […]
The Buffalo Bills are cruising through OTAs right now with plenty of new players, and while that’s happening, let’s assess how financial healthy this team is now and into the future. Examining the books is an important evaluation every year, and with summer break shortly ahead for the entire NFL, now is a good time […]
The Buffalo Bills hired Jim Leonhard away from the Denver Broncos and are expecting the former Bills safety to overhaul a defensive unit that struggled at stopping the run, getting off the field on third down, and coming up with the big stop in the playoffs during the Sean McDermott era. Enter Leonhard, who plans […]
Let me be honest with you about something that doesn’t get said enough: the run-first offense you watched the Buffalo Bills run for the past two-plus years? That wasn’t entirely Joe Brady’s offense. Not his full version of it, anyway. I know that’s a spicy take. Brady was the play-caller. Brady was the coordinator. The […]
Entering the 2026 season, the Buffalo Bills will have a new defensive coordinator at the helm of the team’s transition toward building an attack-style 3-4 base defense. A former Bills safety himself, Jim Leonhard is back at One Bills Drive looking to correct the defensive shortcoming laid bare during the team’s near-decade run under prior […]
The Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres of course represent the same city and region and have the same owner, but otherwise are entirely different organizations in different sports. These are things we know. But the closeness of these franchises — that also share a COO in Pete Guelli — hints that these clubs are more […]
The Buffalo Bills have been known for outstanding safety play over the last ten years or so. Having excellent players like Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde will help with that. Those players are gone now, as is the system in which they thrived. A new defensive coordinator is in town, and he promises to bring […]
Which competitions am I most interested in over the next few months? Last week, I wrote about the methodology by which I believe we can more accurately predict roster competitions. In short, “when” and “with whom” a player plays are more predictive of their roster status than “h0w” they play. Some interrogatives are more important […]
Discussing Buffalo Bills defensive players over the last decade started to become easy. With head coach Sean McDermott in charge from 2017 through 2025, clear patterns emerged as it related to usage, positioning, and potential roles. Heading into the 2026 NFL season, though, the Bills will look different. McDermott is out, and former offensive coordinator […]
Hey everyone! Welcome back to the always complex, always wacky world of Skarekrow when he’s making things. Hopefully at this point you’re hooked on my Mandalorian/Bills mashup and you’re eager to see more. Last time I discussed the armor I intended to make, specifically the breastplate segment. Kind of cruel of me to be honest […]
To provide all-world quarterback Josh Allen with more help at wide receiver, Buffalo Bills president of football operations/general manager Brandon Beane went out and traded for DJ Moore. While Allen and Moore have a friendship going back to when they were rookies selected by the Bills and Carolina Panthers in the 2018 NFL Draft, they […]
It’s that time of the year again, folks! The Buffalo Bills are set to play their first regular season game of the 2026 NFL season on September 13. Over the course of the next 100 days or so, we will introduce every player on the team’s roster. Some of those players are household names by […]
Sometimes trades can become the backbone of a team ascending to contender status. Buffalo Bills president of football operations/general manager Brandon Beane is no stranger to trades. He’s been one of the most active GMs on the trade market since being hired by the Bills after the 2017 draft. His previous contemporary, former Sabres GM […]
Christian Benford and Maxwell Hairston are “penciled in” as the Buffalo Bills starting outside cornerbacks right now — not my words, but those from Brandon Beane in his post-draft press conference about a month ago. The “penciled in” comment came in response to a question about the team’s second-round selection of boundary corner Davison Igbinosun. […]
By now you’re well aware — the Buffalo Bills have struggled with run defense. Last year was no exception as the team finished in the bottom of the league in yards allowed to opposing running backs. Unfortunately, things may not get better as the team will be facing some of the best running backs in […]
My first 53-man projection of the 2026 season is here, fellow rumblers. Let me be upfront: this is a way-too-early look, before a single preseason snap has been played and before training camp opens in late July. Things will change. That’s precisely what makes this exercise worth doing. What I can tell you right now […]
We’re not quite to June, but have spent an inordinate amount of time speculating on the specific roles for Buffalo Bills defensive personnel in Jim Leonhard’s scheme. At the start of Bills OTAs, we got the first real tangible indicator as to a new job responsibility for a Buffalo defender. Jackson was the team’s third-round […]
Last week, I quantifiably determined how well Buffalo Bills director of football operations/general manager Brandon Beane has drafted. Then, I compared Beane’s drafts to some of his decision-making contemporaries. The original piece in this study can be found here, with full/detailed methodology as to how I conducted the research. And here’s the TL;DR of what […]
The Buffalo Bills started Organized Team Activities (OTA) earlier this week, providing the first glimpse at some of the newest members of the club. While it is always exciting to get a glimpse of the rookies and newly acquired players, I was most excited to see one particular Bill who is working his way back […]
