For a 4-7 football team, I'd say the attitude in Western New York surrounding the Buffalo Bills resembles a team in heavy contention for a playoff spot. In reality, saying the Bills are a long-shot for the playoffs would propel you to optimist levels even higher than I myself, have ever ...Published on: 30th November, 2009
Was that the Buffalo Bills yesterday? They undoubtedly look like a different team with Perry Fewell at the helm and Ryan Fitzpatrick under center. That's something I'd thought I'd never say this season. The Bills' 31-14 win over the rival Miami Dolphins eased the soul of Bills fans after starting the ...Published on: 24th November, 2009
It comes as no surprise: The Bills found yet another agonizing way to lose a football game. We've seemingly seen it all of late. This week, it wasn't a last-second missed field goal, or an opponent scoring as time expired. Against the Jaguars, two untimely penalties sealed the Bills' fate in Jacksonville. A Fred Jackson ...Published on: 17th November, 2009
Usually...my weekly "Seen and Herd" column is posted early in the week, but there's some news from Bills camp that's got everyone talking—at least in the Western New York region. The Bills have officially fired head coach Dick Jauron as of today, Nov. 17, 2009, sometime around three o'clock. New national holiday ...Published on: 2nd November, 2009
Well, the excitement sure was fun while it lasted. In the back of my mind I wasn't completely feeling a Bills playoff push on the horizon, but after the first half on Sunday, the thought that Buffalo was possibly a legitimate football team certainly creeped into my mind. Then in one of ...Published on: 30th October, 2009
Sorry I can't do the generic Game Preview. There's too many out there. How many can one possibly read leading up to a game? My advice...read my Featured Columnist colleague Dan Van Wie's previews, they're good. He does a much better job hyping a game that I ever could. I'm more of ...Published on: 26th October, 2009
Say it with me...The Buffalo Bills are officially on a winning streak. It's been awhile. When the final whistle blew in Charlotte after another oddly exciting football game, the Bills found themselves again victorious. Win in Perspective Buffalo sits at the respectable, yet far from ideal spot, of 3-4. Two weeks ago, many had ...Published on: 23rd October, 2009
It feels different writing following a Bills win. I could get used to this. Instead of adding yet another "Game Preview" of this weeks showdown in Charlotte, I'm taking a look at the Bills oddly dissimilar defense, that's made Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde seem somewhat normal. The Bills defense will be ...Published on: 20th October, 2009
How about this past weekend. It was surely a wacky one. My apologies on the late post of my weekly column, but I'm a day behind because of the "travel day." I was in NYC for the game, and folks, if you can make the trip, get to McFadden's Bills Backers ...Published on: 16th October, 2009
The Buffalo Bills find themselves in a very bad situation. Their coach is on the hot seat. They're coming off three humiliating losses. They haven't found ways to incorporate future Hall of Famer Terrell Owens into the offense; that as a whole, is very out of sync. At this ...
