Week 8: Bills at Seahawks Preview
The 5-2 Bills travel to the Pacific Northwest for a match-up between division leaders with the 4-3 Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks are fresh off their impressive victory over the Atlanta Falcons, with the Bills coming in on a two-game winning streak after their week 7 victory over the Tennessee Titans. Both teams will be looking to extend their division leads, but injuries to some key players may impact the outcome.
Bills vs Titans Recap
The Bills overcame a slow start and an early 10-0 deficit with 34 unanswered points to defeat the Tennessee Titans 34-10. Josh Allen eclipsed the 300-yard mark for the first time this season while extending his streak of games without an interception to 9, including last year's playoffs. The Bills moved to 5-2 and benefited from the rest of the AFC East teams going winless on Sunday to expand their division lead.
Week 7: Bills vs Titans Preview
The Bills return to Highmark Stadium for their first 1 PM home game since week one, hosting the 1-4 Tennessee Titans. The Titans are coming off a 20-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts with questions surrounding the quarterback position and whether this may be a few players' last game in a Titans uniform. The Bills made news Tuesday morning, less than 24 hours after their victory over the New York Jets, with their trade for Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper.
The Bills Trade for Amari Cooper
All of the attention was on Davante Adams and the Bills “monitoring” the situation over the last week before seeing the Jets finalize a deal with the Las Vegas Raiders this morning. At some point in the last 24 hours, the Bills changed course, or quite possibly went in the direction they had been going all along, and made a deal with the Cleveland Browns today for wide receiver Amari Cooper.
Bills at Jets Recap
Another week, I was wrong with my prediction, but in a good way this time. The Bills rebounded from back-to-back losses on Monday night, winning 23-20 over the New York Jets. Josh Allen avoided the first three-game losing streak of his career with one of his best performances against a team he has struggled against. The Bills' defense stepped up when needed to ensure a much-needed victory that moved the Bills into first place in the AFC East at 4-2 and dropped the Jets to third place at 2-4 behind the idle Dolphins.
Week 6: Bills at Jets Preview
Week six is upon us, with the Bills traveling to New Jersey to face the Jets on Monday Night football. Both teams will be looking to avoid a third straight loss, with the winner taking over first place in the AFC East. The Jets made headlines on Tuesday by firing head coach Robert Saleh and replacing him with defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich. Both teams continue to be linked to disgruntled Raiders receiver Davante Adams. The Bills have been dealing with questions surrounding their offense and the quality of their receiver group for most of the week after another disappointing effort in their 23-20 loss to the Texans. No moves were made this week, but one has to think that another offensive dud will change the course of action on Tuesday morning.
Bills at Texans Recap
The Bills continued their trio of away games with another slow start on offense and another loss. Sunday afternoon's 23-20 defeat by the Texans has left fans with more questions about coaching decisions, wondering what happened to the high-flying offense we saw the first three weeks of the season and whether Brandon Beane needs to make a deal.
Week 5: Bills at Texans Preview
The Bills are looking to get back on track after suffering their first defeat of the season as they head to Houston for the much-anticipated matchup against the 3-1 Texans. All eyes will be on former Bills receiver Stefon Diggs after his trade this spring and pointed comments about his role with the team during the second half of last season.
Bills at Ravens Recap
The Bills started their three-game road trip with a night to forget in Baltimore Sunday night. There aren’t many positive things to take away from their 35-10 loss to the Ravens. The 25-point defeat is the worst regular season loss since their 41-15 defeat to the Indianapolis Colts in 2021. For the first time this season, the Bills were punched in the mouth and unable to respond while being outcoached and outperformed in all facets of the game.
Week 4: Bills at Ravens Preview
The Bills are coming off their most impressive win of the season Monday night and will head to Baltimore for a Sunday Night Football matchup against the 1-2 Ravens. This is the start of a three-game road trip for the Bills and will be a good test on both sides of the ball.
Bills vs Jaguars Recap
The Buffalo Bills showed up Monday night looking like a team prepared to send a message to the rest of the NFL in their 47-10 route of the reeling Jacksonville Jaguars. Josh Allen and the offense scored a touchdown on all five of their first-half possessions to take a 34-3 lead into halftime.
Week 3: Bills vs Jaguars Preview
The Bills will enter their Monday Night matchup in Orchard Park on ten days of rest. They face a desperate Jacksonville team trying to avoid an 0-3 start to their season with an offense struggling to move the ball.
Bills at Dolphins Recap
The Bills enter their mini-bye 2-0 after a resounding 31-10 victory over the Dolphins on Thursday night.
Week 2: Bills at Dolphins Preview
The Bills hit the road on a short week after their home opening victory to travel to 1-0 Miami for their Thursday night football showdown. The advantage that I expect the Bills to exploit in this matchup is the Dolphins' offensive line. They struggled in week 1 in the run game and gave up three sacks. If the Bills can limit the explosive plays and be physical at the line, they will be in a good spot to win this game.
Bills vs Cardinals Recap
The Bills season started a little bumpy against the Cardinals on Sunday before completing consecutive scoring drives to end the first half and begin the second half on their way to a 34-28 comeback win.
Week 1: Bills vs Cardinals Preview
Will the mantra “everyone is going to eat” show up in the first game when we see the revamped offense that Joe Brady has been molding all off-season? The Cardinals' defense is young, but the team is entering the game with a chip on their shoulder, as seen with defensive lineman L.J. Collier’s quote, “I really do think Week 1 in Buffalo we're gonna put the league on notice..”
Buffalo Bills 53-Man Roster Prediction
The NFL rosters will be reduced to 53 tomorrow at 4 PM. Below is who I believe the Bills will keep on the 53-man roster for the deadline. I expect that Brandon Beane will do some roster gymnastics, and the 53 on the roster tomorrow will not be the 53 when the regular season starts against the Arizona Cardinals on September 8th.
Bills vs Panthers Recap
The Bills played their most entertaining game of the preseason Saturday in their final game before roster cutdowns with a 31-26 loss to the Carolina Panthers. All of the expected starters heading into the regular season sat to prevent any more injuries to an already banged-up roster. Some positives came out of this game, but the challenge is how many will translate to the regular season since most players will not be on the 53-man roster after 4 p.m. on Tuesday.
Bills at Steelers Recap
The Bills looked like a more energized team Saturday night vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers compared to their week one performance. The defense played strong from start to finish, led by Greg Rousseau early on and the new fan favorite, Joe Andreessen. Andreessen took advantage of the opportunity provided by the injuries to players ahead of him and took a big step toward securing a spot on the 53-man roster.
The Loss of Matt Milano: Who Steps Up?
I will not act like this isn't a significant loss for the Bills’ defense when you factor in the other leaders they lost this offseason. They have time to adjust and find Milano’s replacement before the season starts, unlike last year, when they had to change five weeks into the season.
