Do the Bills need more offensive line help?
The Buffalo Bills offensive line went through there fair share of bumps and bruises this season. At times having to shift LG Andy Levitre to left tackle and center and going as far as having to shift Urbik to center from right guard. The line also had a lot of positives such as finding a good right tackle in Eric Pears and a nice right guard in Kraig Urbik. Also rookie Chris Hairston...

Bills GM Buddy Nix “Not Against” Drafting A Quarterback
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...

A (Way Too Early) 2012 Buffalo Bills Mock Draft
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...

Bills Nation Trials And Tribulations
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...

Patriots vs. Broncos: Why You Should Root For the Broncos (Even If You Hate Tim Tebow)
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...

BLD Picks NFL Playoff Games Against the Spread: Divisional Round! (4-0 in Wild Card Round)
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.

Bills Have Decisions to Make at Wide Receiver
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...

Bills Management Still Supporting QB Ryan Fitzpatrick…But Really, What Choice Do They Have?
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...

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.

A Nightmare On One Bills Drive
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...

Chan Gailey’s Excuse For Not Running C.J. Spiller More: “We’re Trying Not to Wear Him Out”
Take it easy, C.J.! Don't want you getting too tired!
There’s no doubt about it: C.J. Spiller was really good in Buffalo’s loss to Miami this past weekend. He racked up 91 yards rushing on just 12 carries as well as picking up 76 yards receiving and two touchdowns. And he looked good doing it, showing off the speed and athleticism that enticed Buffalo to take him...
