Buffalo Bills vs. Kansas City Chiefs Divisional Round preview

Yet another rematch of the Buffalo Bills vs. Kansas City Chiefs. Although these two teams aren’t as familiar with one another as the Bills and Patriots are, there is plenty of recent history in this matchup. Bills Fans remember a sour end to the season last year when the Chiefs toppled the Rumbling Herd 38-24 in the AFC Conference Championship game.

On the one hand, the Bills have already gotten their revenge by beating the Chiefs down 38-20 in Kansas City during Week 5. But the heartbreak remains. Winning a regular-season game means nothing once the playoffs are here. It’s always about the next one...

Bills Make Statement with 47-17 Win Over New England in Wild Card Round

It was an absolute clinic on the game of football. The Buffalo Bills set several NFL playoff records, one of which was scoring a touchdown on each of its first seven drives of the game. The Bills dominated every facet of Saturday’s wild-card playoff game from the beginning of the game until the final kneel down to end it...

Leaving the Past Behind

The Buffalo Bills stampeded the New England Patriots Saturday night, 47-17, but it was so much more than a lopsided playoff game.

It’s well known: Bills fans love their team. They aren’t the only fans who love their team, and they aren’t the only pro football fans who have suffered through the seemingly endless futility of their team. Still, the story of the pain of Bills fans is legendary: Wide right and the four straight Super Bowl losses, the drought, the endless quarterback frustrations, the Buffalo jokes. Every year, Bills fans hoped for more, hoped for success, hoped for respect, and it didn’t happen. And for the past twenty years, all along the way, there were the New England Patriots, crushing those hopes mercilessly...

Buffalo Bills vs NJ Jets - A Few Thoughts about the Jets Game, in no particular order

For the first time in years, I watched a Bills game without taking notes, and I'll be honest, my retention of the game went straight out the window. I had to wait and re-watch the game on Youtube, which was actually pretty cool to see without all the clock stoppages between plays. It's interesting the things you pick up a second time, but more so, you lose all real feel for the flow for the game. Fortunately, that part I remembered...

Buffalo Bills vs. New England Patriots Wild Card preview

That’s not exactly what we wanted, playing the New England Patriots for a third time this season. Both teams likely feel confident in their abilities. After all, they’ve both qualified for the postseason. At least Josh Allen and Co. have been here before. Can’t say the same for Mac Jones in the NFL.

Then the other part is the Pats are backing into the playoffs with a loss, whereas the Bills actually earned the AFC East division crown by fighting until the very end. In the same frame of thought, this could further motivate the Patriots since they recently got their butts whooped. Bill Belichick won’t be pleased losing to a division foe who actually fired their head coach after the win, even if it’s a former disciple of his.

The two earlier matchups were a draw, with both teams walking away with a win in their away game. Obviously, the Buffalo Bills hope to break that trend this week, winning in their home stadium...

The Bills Move On

It’s Tuesday morning. Where have the days gone?

I got up at 6:30 Saturday morning and was on the road by 7:30. Then it was seven hours of driving in sub-freezing temperatures, freezing rain most of the day, slush on the highway, snowplows at 50 miles per hour. Stop at the hotel, then out to Orchard Park. I passed Schwabl’s on the way; they’re looking for a carver. Hmm. Maybe I could move to Buffalo and take the job.

At Highmark Stadium, it was forty degrees, with a steady 20 mph wind out of the southwest...

Bills Clinch AFC East, Will Host Patriots in Playoffs

It’s been a while since the Buffalo Bills clinched an AFC East Division title with a win on their home field, but that is exactly what QB Josh Allen and company did on Sunday.

Buffalo Bills vs. New York Jets Week 18 game preview

Despite a tumultuous season that saw the Buffalo Bills lose to the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Herd has made it to the final week of the regular season, and they still control their destiny. There were times when we weren’t sure if the Bills would qualify for the postseason, but their Week 17 win made it official. It just shows how quickly a team’s fate can change.

Heading into their final game of the regular season, the Bills have shown in recent weeks their ability to win in a variety of ways. Even as we saw during Week 17’s game when the weather was once again brutally cold and windy, the Bills were able to rally and come out ahead, relying on their running game to get the job done...

Buffalo Bills vs Atlanta Falcons - A Few Thoughts About the Game, in no particular order

I've played Madden for about 20 years now, and I'd like to think I'm pretty good at it. I was ranked in the top 5% for a bit and really have the most fun when I'm playing someone who knows football. It can be easy at times when you play someone who only runs the same plays over and over again but can't adjust to anything else. Sometimes, I will even mess around and try new plays when I'm up against someone who I can tell isn't on my skill level. In those games, though, I've found ways to lose because I gave them too many opportunities to stay in the game. They weren't the better team, but I made the poorer decisions. Usually, I can turn it around, but others...

Buffalo Runs to 29-14 Win, Secures Playoff Berth

With a running game that totaled 233 yards, the Buffalo Bills secured their third consecutive 10-win season and spot in this year’s AFC playoffs with a 29-14 victory over Atlanta. Running back Devin Singletary, who would score two second-half touchdowns to give Buffalo the win, ran for 110 yards and 23 carries. Quarterback Josh Allen added 81 yards on 15 attempts...

THE ROCKPILE REVIEW - Bills Take Care of Falcons

Fans have a mental-image of what an NFL win looks like. A prototype win. It’s what they want to see from their team, week after week. Take control of the game from the start, score on almost every possession, have a comfortable half-time lead, and cruise through the second half to a stress-free win.

Problem is, every NFL game is unique. It’s different from every other game, and very, very few wins fit the prototype. In every game, as Sean McDermott is fond of saying, each team will face adversity. How the team responds to adversity is the measure of how good a team is.

Yes, it’s a cliché. The reason it’s a cliché is because it’s true. Things go wrong in games. They always do. ..

Buffalo Bills vs. Atlanta Falcons Week 17 game preview

The Buffalo Bills and Atlanta Falcons are at complete opposite ends of the spectrum. In 2016, the Dirty Birds got to where the Bills strive to be, the Super Bowl. We all know what happened after they got out to a 28-3 lead, and ever since, they haven’t been able to get back on top.

There’s a fine line between a contender and a pretender in the NFL. For the Falcons this season, that difference is about two wins. Considering they are just two wins behind the Rumbling Herd, the Falcons aren’t that far off. Although, upon closer inspection, they don’t belong anywhere near the playoffs...

Bills Vault Back Into First Place in AFC East With Win Over Patriots

Buffalo WR Isaiah McKenzie had seven catches this season prior to Sunday’s game with New England. McKenzie had a career day with 11 receptions for 125 yards and a touchdown to help Buffalo beat the Patriots 33-21 and put the Bills back on top in the AFC East Division race.

With the win, Buffalo is now 9-6, as are the Patriots. With the 12-point victory, the Bills made up for the 14-10 loss to New England just a few weeks ago and now own the tiebreaker. Buffalo also owns a tiebreaker over Miami (7-7), which plays New Orleans on Monday night. The Bills now control their own destiny in the race for a second consecutive division title...

What does a good team do in that situation? Take control of the game early and never let go. Be the better team for 60 minutes. That’s what the Bills did to the Patriots. ..

Buffalo Bills vs. New England Patriots Week 16 game preview

That’s more like it. What a difference a week can make. After losing back-to-back games, a concept such as the playoffs seemed farfetched. Now that Mac Jones has reminded everyone he’s still a rookie, the Patriots have proved they’re vulnerable, which opens the AFC East back up. And somehow, the Dolphins have reeled off seven straight wins to place them within a game of the Bills...

Buffalo Bills vs. Carolina Panthers - A Few Thoughts about the Panthers Game, in no particular order

My apologies for this lateness, but work and the upcoming holiday shifted my priorities a bit. Watching the games this weekend, the reality of this COVID world was ever apparent as teams were missing key players. Division games showed bizarre resorts as Marsha was smacked all over the field. The hapless Detroit Lions found a way to dominate the Cardinals, and multiple teams threw back up or third-string quarterbacks to the wolves. It's unfortunate to have these last few weeks of the regular season impacted like this. It's affected every team differently, but it's the world we live in now...

Bills Snap Two-Game Losing Streak with 31-14 Win over Carolina

After a scoreless first quarter, Buffalo RB Devin Singletary woke up the scoreboard with a 16-yard run to cap a six-play, 50-yard scoring drive early in the second quarter. The touchdown gave the Bills a 7-0 lead, one they would never relinquish on their way to a 31-14 defeat of the Carolina Panthers...

The Bills aren’t playing like the best team in the NFL, but guess what? The best team in the league, whoever it is, isn’t playing like the best team either. Week after week, last week’s presumptive best team is this week’s pile of old rags. The Bengals are great, no they aren’t. Wow, look at the Chargers, well, maybe not. The Chiefs? Yes, for a while, then no, then yes again. The Packers, this week’s darlings. The Cowboys. Wait, no, the Patriots. The Ravens. Sunday, the Cardinals were taken out behind the woodshed by the Lions. Yes, those Lions. The Bucs were shut out by the Saints. The Colts definitely get some votes. Maybe the Dolphins are the best team in the league...

Buffalo Bills vs. Carolina Panthers Week 15 game preview

This is starting not to make any sense. Many are feeling deflated after losing in overtime to the defending Super Bowl champs, but the resolve shown by Josh Allen continues to give the Buffalo Bills a chance.

While losing three of your last four games is never ideal, especially late in the season, but we’re in Week 15. The Bills have shown who they are throughout the year, where they still rank sixth in the NFL in points scored per game. Defensively, even better, ranking third, allowing just 17.6 points per game...

Bills Rally But Come Up Short In OT Loss to Tampa Bay

Trailing 27-10 early in the fourth quarter, the Buffalo Bills scored 17 unanswered points to tie Tampa Bay 27-27 with 22 seconds remaining and force overtime. The rally was all for naught, though, as Bucs QB Tom Brady threw his 700th career touchdown pass and Tampa Bay won in overtime 33-27.

Brady hit WR Breshad Perriman on a crossing route which the wide receiver converted into a 58-yard touchdown for the win. The loss was the second straight for Buffalo, which lost consecutive games for the first time this season. The loss also drops the Bills to 7-6 and puts their postseason hopes in some jeopardy..

THE ROCKPILE REVIEW - Still Some Building to be Done

I’ve been a Bills fan for 62 years. This year I’ve noticed that, for the first time in my life as a fan, the losses don’t bother me much more than watching say, the Broncos lose. My family and friends offer condolences, but I don’t need them. It’s just a football game. It wasn’t always that way – I used to agonize over each of the 492 losses.

I’m not sure exactly when, or how, this happened, but it happened. I can watch the Bills fail at the end of the game against the Titans, I can watch them fail again against the Patriots, but I don’t get upset. (Okay, when they lose to Jacksonville, that’s different.)..

Buffalo Bills @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers - A Few Thoughts about the Bucs Game, in no particular order

While this season is one of parody and week-to-week results, the Bills fell to one game over .500 in a game where they didn't look like they belonged on the same field for half the game. As I look back on this season versus my previous seasons writing these, it's hard for me to tell if it's harder to write during a season of blown expectations or during the drought. At least during the drought, we could focus on improvement and hope. In this season, it's been more about meeting expectations or letdowns. At this point, it's evident where the problems lay with this team and not it's only a matter of how the Bills will fix it in the off-season through personnel or coaching changes...

Buffalo Bills vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Week 14 game preview

Here’s our chance to finally take down Tom Brady again. The one they call the GOAT is 32-3 all-time against the Buffalo Bills. Sure, it may be difficult to imagine this current team taking down one who won the Super Bowl in February but to be fair, the Bills have mostly struggled when teams choose to run the ball down their throats.

Tampa Bay won’t be able to do that. They much prefer to utilize their quarterback instead of treating him as a handoff prop. You may have seen Leonard Fournette’s 100-yard, four-touchdown performance two weeks ago against the Indianapolis Colts, but that’s his only game over the century mark this season...
