Thoughts: Bills Add DE Trent Murphy
The Buffalo Bills made what many consider a surprising move on day one of free agency Wednesday, signing former Washington Redskins DE/OLB Trent Murphy to a three-year deal for a reported $21 million that could ultimately end up being worth $30 million.

Thoughts: Bills Land A.J. McCarron
One day into free agency and we officially know the Buffalo Bills aren’t fuckin’ around.

If nothing else it’s never a dull moment with the Buffalo Bills.

Less than 24 hours later that’s exactly what happened, … Read More
(Game Thoughts) Saints 47, Bills 10: Major Reality Check
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

Game Thoughts: Bills 30, Bucs 27 – Those Heroic Misfits
