Brohm Likely To Start vs. Falcons

With all of the uncertainty swirling around Buffalo Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick – in this case his sprained ankle – it is looking very likely that second-year player Brian Brohm may get his first NFL start Sunday, when the Bills take on the Atlanta Falcons. Brohm once again took all of the snaps with the [...]

Fitzpatrick Misses Practice; QB on Sunday Still Unknown

Bills interim coach Perry Fewell is taking a wait-and-see approach with his quarterbacks after starter Ryan Fitzpatrick missed his second straight practice because of an ankle injury. Fewell said Fitzpatrick is feeling better and did “a little throwing” before practice Thursday as the Bills (5-9) prepare to play at Atlanta (7-7) this weekend. With backup [...]

CB McGee Placed on IR; QB Hamdan Inked

Bills cornerback Terrence McGee is done for the season, and it’s suddenly unclear who’ll start at quarterback this weekend after injuries forced Buffalo to re-sign former third-stringer Gibran Hamdan. McGee was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, a day before he’s scheduled to have surgery to repair his right rotator cuff. The starter becomes the 16th [...]

Patriot Games: New England’s Mastery of Futile Bills Continues

It makes no real sense for me to bludgeon you over the head by recounting tales of the Bills’ miseries and gaffes against Patriots this decade; because you and I already know them by heart. So let’s just say that the final encounter between Buffalo and New England this decade went expectedly and predictably to [...]

Bills Offer to Mike Shanahan Still on the Table

According to Pro Football Talk, the Bills coaching offer to Mike Shanahan still stands. Citing a conversation presumably with a league source, Pro Football Talk maintains that Buffalo’s offer to Shanahan is still on the table despite all the reports coming out of Washington DC that the former Broncos head coach is already negotiating with [...]

Owner Ralph Wilson Wants Team To Throw Downfield More

The National Football Post is hearing that Bills owner Ralph Wilson wants an offensive coordinator who will throw the ball down the field. Wilson still meets with the offensive coordinator every Friday to personally peruse the game plan. The Bills have struggled on offense this year, ranking 26th in points scored (16.5 per game) and [...]
