Here we are coming down to the final week of the season. The vast majority of NFL teams will see their season end this coming weekend, and for each of those teams that means their head coach failed to deliver, since none of them made the playoffs. About a week from now, you will start seeing more announcements about certain teams formally firing coaches that you know already had placed the ...

Buffalo Bills Are Thoroughly Overwhelmed By Atlanta Falcons

Posted: 28th December 2009 by Dan Van Wie in NFL
The Brian Brohm era officially began in Atlanta on Sunday, as the Buffalo Bills were thoroughly defeated by the Atlanta Falcons 31-3. That Brohm finished the game and was still in one piece is something of a moral victory, as both Ryan Fitzpatrick and Trent Edwards had just suffered injuries from the previous game and were unable to play. Brohm wound up getting sacked just two times and went 17 of ...

Posted: 23rd December 2009 by Dan Van Wie in NFL
The shell of a football team that used to be known as the Buffalo Bills, mixed in with a few new warm replacement bodies, will travel down to Atlanta to meet the Falcons this Sunday. Both teams are eliminated from the playoffs, so this should be a contest that will serve as open auditions for the 2010 rosters for both the Bills and Falcons. The Bills fans have watched in horror ...
This is an open letter to Ralph Wilson and anyone else at One Bills Drive that is in position to claim that they have Ralph's ear: The time to take charge of the tailspin your team is in, is right now. The organization has been in a funk for the past decade. You are not alone. There are a host of other NFL organizations that have been doormats in their respective divisions ...

Buffalo-New England: Lucky No. 13 No Problem for Pats, As Bills Fall

Posted: 20th December 2009 by Dan Van Wie in NFL
When you have to put 15 different players on the Injured Reserve list in one season, your team is in trouble. When you have to pick up a hot-headed offensive lineman that is so bad that the woeful St. Louis Rams waive him, you know that you are really in trouble. Dire Straights, to be precise. Such is the case for the Buffalo Bills, as new guard Richie Incognito demonstrated for ...

Since the Buffalo Bills season ends officially on January 3rd, 2010, you already know you won't be watching them appear in any playoff games again. Instead, you will be anxiously awaiting word for who Ralph Wilson has hired to be the new G.M. and who will be the new head coach.

Going back to the opening weekend of the 2009 season, the Buffalo Bills traveled to New England to welcome Tom Brady back to the league on Monday Night Football. Brady had missed the 2008 season due to injuries, and you would have thought that he would have looked somewhat rusty, since he sat out the majority of 2008. But this is Tom Brady we are talking about, and he excels in the ...

Buffalo Bills: My Wish List for the 12 Days of Christmas

Posted: 14th December 2009 by Dan Van Wie in NFL
Here is a picture of Santa Claus skiing the slopes to relax and unwind before the big day. Since we have 12 days left until Christmas, what better time than now to create the 12 things on my wish list for the Buffalo Bills. Santa, I have been good all year. I have turned in my three articles per week (sometimes more than three) so I hope you will grant ...
If you are looking forward to an offensive showdown this Sunday when the Buffalo Bills travel to face the Kansas City Chiefs, you have now been given sufficient notice to look elsewhere. These are two struggling offenses, and their ineptitude in converting on third downs throughout the year is bordering on the ridiculous. Kansas City has only been able to convert on 22 percent of their third downs this year, while ...
As has been the case most of this season, the Buffalo Bills found themselves in another close game in the fourth quarter.
