Before I even contemplate the outcome of Sunday’s game vs the Redskins and give a careful, prediction-free preview, there’s some necessary business to take care of real quick.
This football season has been strange and I’ve used this bye week to sort through exactly what’s been going on, what it means and where the Bills are headed. The problem is, I’ve been talking about these things with myself and that’s crazy person behavior (even crazier than what I’m usually capable of) so I’m hoping y’all will offer your thoughts and help draw the self-therapying out of my head and into real life.
We’re winning. Awesome. But it’s taking a toll on my sanity! Usually I can make it until at least Week 10 before I have a psychotic-ish break and start freaking out over everything. This year, I’ve been freaking out since Week 2 and it’s exhausting! I just spend the last 8 minutes of a game desperately yearning and praying ...

Coleman steps in
The Bills officially announced the signing of outside linebacker Antonio Coleman to the roster to fill Shawne Merriman's spot. Coleman had been on the Giants' practice squad. He was cut by the Bills at the end of preseason. He was on the field for the defense in seven games for the Bills last season and saw 41 defensive snaps. He made seven tackles. He knows the defensive...
Bills Overpay Ryan Fitzpatrick
Ryan Fitzpatrick is a decent NFL quarterback. At best, he’s an average starter. But don’t tell the Buffalo Bills because they apparently believe that he’s elite. On Friday, the Bills gave Fitzpatrick a contract extension worth nearly $60 million over six years.
Yes. $60 million. For Ryan Freakin’ Fitzpatrick.

Nix: It always came back to Fitz
Bills GM Buddy Nix admits that young quarterback prospects were strongly considered each of the past two years by himself and head coach Chan Gailey, but in the end Fitzpatrick was seen as their best bet for success.
“Both drafts since I’ve been here we’ve looked hard at the quarterbacks and I’ve been to see every one of them,” said Nix. ”But Chan and I...
Fan Friday 10-28
The Bills Toronto Series resumes on Sunday at the Rogers Centre. I’m encouraged about this one knowing Chan and his staff has had two weeks to prepare. Let’s get to your questions from AskChris@bills.nfl.net.
1 - Hi Chris,
With the way our defense is playing very well, as in takeaways, keeping us in games, playing very hard and more, we still...
Staff Predictions: Bills vs. Redskins
Matthew: 24-17, Bills. A hugely important game this week against the Redskins to keep the wild-card spot and fend off the Jets for another week. If the Bills don't get a W this week there will be lots of talk about 2008 again. The game is set up perfectly for a victory: the Redskins are a mediocre team who don't really scare you on either side of the ball. If the Bills...
