I was guardedly optimistic about the Buffalo Bills, even after getting their asses handed to them in prime time last Thursday against the New York Jets. Reluctantly I attributed much of that to being tired and on the road with a short week of rest. Well, the lopsided Jets loss was Bills/Giants Super Bowl XXV … Read More

(Game Thoughts) Bills 34, Raiders 14: Selflessness Is Contagious
It’s not possible to be more wrong about the Buffalo Bills than I’ve been this season and particularly this morning. I was too lazy to compose a prediction post for this blog but allow me to share the complete nonsense I wrote for buddies on Facebook: “My Unpopular Prediction That May Bite Me in 4 … Read More
Game Thoughts: Bills 30, Bucs 27 – Those Heroic Misfits
Sean McDermott’s leading a team that’s in no small part a collection of league misfits and castoffs, yet somehow continue to find ways to win. How else you can explain guys like discarded Chicago Bears receiver Deonte Thompson and third string running back/undrafted free agent Taiwan Jones playing such critical roles in their 30-27 victory … Read More
Bills 23, Falcons 17: Random Thoughts (80’s Tunes Style)
The Atlanta Falcons entered Sunday averaging an absurd 37 points over their last 10 home games while being held under 30 just once during the streak. That’s so over. So is Atlanta’s quest for a perfect season. That’s because the underdog Buffalo Bills came to town and handed the defending NFC champions their first loss, … Read More
Panthers 9, Bills 3: Random Thoughts
Sunday morning I picked the Buffalo Bills to lose in Carolina by “at least two scores”, concluding fans, the media and maybe the organization itself were a bit too high on themselves after beating the hapless New York Jets in their opener and also because legions of fans accompanied them to Charlotte this weekend. My … Read More
Hot Taekery: Bills Fans Tossing Taylor Under Bus
I like Tyrod Taylor, I really do. I don’t particularly think he’s the quarterback that can lead the Buffalo Bills out of their 17-year (who we kidding—let’s go ahead and call it 18 now) playoff drought, but I like him nonetheless. I won’t recite his statistics and record as the Buffalo starter because it really … Read More
Why Anquan Boldin May Net The Bills A Third-Round Pick
Anquan Boldin signing with the Buffalo Bills, even as a well past his prime veteran is still a good thing, as I wrote about yesterday. There’s a factoid I didn’t touch on yesterday that I probably should’ve. The adding of Boldin could directly lead to Buffalo gaining an extra draft selection next year—quite possibly a … Read More
Hot Taekery: Thoughts on Boldin To Bills
The Buffalo Bills signed 36-year old veteran wide receiver Anquan Boldin to a one-year contract on Monday. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Boldin originally reached an agreement with Buffalo last week before backing out but ultimately signing Monday a deal that will pay him $2.75 million while having incentives that could see Boldin earn up to … Read More
Hot Taekery: Bills Should Whack Washington Now
Every NFL head coach and general manager hopes they don’t have an Adolphus Washington on their team. As a team prepares for training camp and the mental/physical grind of a regular season the last thing they need, literally is a moron getting himself arrested off the field. Unfortunately for Buffalo Adolphus Washington was doing Adolphus … Read More
MoranAlytics Take: Beane Named Bills GM
What was pretty much expected became official on Tuesday when the Buffalo Bills announced the hiring of Brandon Beane as the team’s 13th general manager. He’ll be introduced by the team at a news conference Friday morning. Beane, 40, had spent the past 19 years with the Carolina Panthers, including the past six with new … Read More
