There are some Bills fans who have already alreadywritten off the 2012 season simply because it’s very likely Ryan Fitzpatrick will return as starting quarterback. (That seems silly to me, but that’s beside the point right now.) Well, those Fitz-hating fans might have a small glimmer of hope that someone else will get a chance to take the QB reins in 2012. When asked if the Bills would take a quarterback in the 2012 NFL Draft, Buffalo GM Buddy Nix refused to rule it out: … [visit site to read more]

Could the big man from Stanford be headed to Western New York? It’s that time of year again: the time when hope springs eternal for Bills fans. When we can look out at the class of incoming college players and pick out the few that will turn the Bills into winners. Of course, it never works out that way. But it sure is fun to dream. Here’s my first stab at seven-round Bills Mock Draft. The first of many to come, no doubt. These predictions may look ridiculous in April, but that’s okay: Round 1 – Johnathan Martin, OT, Stanford [...]

  Hello readers I hope 2012 has been treating you all well thus far, so with pleasantries aside lets get down to the matter at hand.  As I look back over my many years as a fan of the Buffalo Bills I can recall (as I am sure all of you can) more ups and downs than “Mr. Miyagi” shouted to “Daniel-Son” during the fence painting portion of his Karate training! If you’ve followed the Bills as long as I have (since 1988) then you know that in the words of the late great Hip Hop icon “Tupac Shakur” “this be [...]

I know you hate him, but he needs to win tonight. I know, I know…it seems like an impossible choice. In tonight’s AFC Divisional game, who should you root for? On one side, you have the absolutely loathsome New England Patriots. That contemptible bunch of cheaters (let’s not ever forget Spygate) led by their pretty-boy quarterback and miserable prick of a coach. And don’t forget their racist douchebag frontrunning fans (Note: I know not all Boston fans are racists. Or douchebags. But it’s fun to generalize.) And the other side, you have Tim Tebow and the Broncos. But according to [...]

I've somehow let Wade Phillips trick me into betting on Houston this week. Let’s be real: a lot of people love football because it’s the easiest and funnest sport to gamble on. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Personally, I’m too broke to gamble much, but I sure do watch a lot of football. I figure I should help* my loyal readers out with some gambling advice.  *Help not guaranteed to be actually helpful. Hey, guess who went 4-0 last week? That’s right. This guy. If you rode the Brad train for the Wild Card round you earned yourself some [...]

Will Roscoe Parrish be back in 2012? The wide receiver position for Buffalo during the 2011 season was in constant flux thanks to the continuous injuries the group suffered. If you can remember back to training camp, the Bills actually traded away Lee Evans because they had too much talent at wide receiver. And at that time, it made sense: the Bills had six guys who had looked good in camp – Steve Johnson, David Nelson, Roscoe Parrish, Marcus Easley, Naaman Roosevelt, and Donald Jones. But this being the Bills, things quickly fell apart. Easley was diagnosed with a mysterious [...]

Fitz is Buffalo's QB in 2012. Period. In yesterday’s season-ending press conference, Bills GM Buddy Nix spoke candidly on a number of topics, including his embattled quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick: I’ve got no reservations about Ryan. He had some bad games. The thing we know for sure is that we’ve seen him do it. We’ve seen him have good games. He’s what we thought he would be. I think when we started losing players and losing weapons for him he compensated by trying to carry the load some and playing with different receivers each week. Sounds like excuses, but they’re reasons…If [...]

Bills GM Buddy Nix Bills GM Buddy Nix addressed the media today for a season-wrapping press conference this afternoon.  You can read the transcript here. The always-candid Nix touched on a variety of topics including the following: Bringing back free agent WR Stevie Johnson: “We do want him back,” said Nix. “I know that you think about the antics and the penalties and obviously we’re not happy about that. I don’t think Stevie is either. We’re around him a lot. I know the things he does at practice. He practices hurt and I think he’s a team guy. Yeah we want [...]

Just one of Byrd's great plays in 2011. The Associated Press recently announced its annual All-Pro team, and it shouldn’t shock you at all that not a single Bill is on the team. In fact, just one Bill got any votes at all. You might be surprised to learn that that Bills is free safety Jairus Byrd. Byrd burst onto the scene as a rookie with nine interceptions in his first season, a stat which propelled him to the Pro Bowl. But those interceptions covered up some big holes in his game – namely his problems with run support. After [...]

    A while back I touched on how stupid it would be on behalf of the entire Buffalo Bills organization to allow Steve Johnson to walk away. Well here it is I find myself having the same converstion with you the reader(s) about an equally (if not more) important (key) player in the Bills quest to return to the post season. I think that even the great Stevie Wonder can see the importance of the Bills giving Jackson a contract extension. How anybody can fix their mouth to say different is beyond me, Jackson’s body of work speaks for itself as [...]
