Bills Welcome Mario Williams to Buffalo

0 Comments | Posted March 16, 2012 | 4:59 PM

It happened. Finally. It was so shocking I almost didn't believe it was real life. Then rain dripped on me on my way out the door to work and I realized this was, indeed, real life and not a dream. Which made it even more unbelievable that Mario...

Welcome, NFL 2012!

0 Comments | Posted February 8, 2012 | 7:34 PM

The new season is officially here! As soon as I woke up on Monday after the Super Bowl, I rejoiced. NFL 2011, peace out. I'd say it's been nice but I'd be lying. It was kind of nice for a little bit and then it got really bad, really fast,...

What If the Bills Were in the Super Bowl?

3 Comments | Posted February 3, 2012 | 7:48 AM

If you're a Bills fan and you're sick of hearing/thinking/talking about how traumatizing the season was, raise your hand. Great, me too. So let's not. Instead, let's role play.

The scenario: We're in the Super Bowl, not the Patriots.

Now I'll tell you what my life would be like if...

Buffalo Bills Riddled With Injuries

0 Comments | Posted November 30, 2011 | 12:39 PM

I missed the Bills vs Jets game so I won't pretend I'm qualified to comment on it. From what I've read, heard and seen we were [THIS] close but alas it was not meant to be. A Jets fan even said the Bills "deserved to win that" but "somehow the...

Buffalo Bills Shut Out Washington Redskins

0 Comments | Posted November 2, 2011 | 10:20 AM

Ohhh, 23-0 is such a beautiful score, especially when the Bills are on the winning side! The Bills recorded their first shut out since 2006 when they demolished the Redskins at home in Toronto this week.

Games with no points on one side of the board can be boring, yes,...

Buffalo Bills Bits

Before I even contemplate the outcome of Sunday's game vs the Redskins and give a careful, prediction-free preview, there's some necessary business to take care of real quick.

This football season has been strange and I've used this bye week to sort through exactly what's been going on, what it...

Buffalo Bills Ground Vick And The Eagles

0 Comments | Posted October 11, 2011 | 11:56 AM

What do you get when you take two NFL teams with reputations on the line, add in five takeaways by one of them, throw in a top rusher and garnish it with opportunistic penalties? In Week 5, that recipe equaled a 31-24 victory for the Buffalo Bills over the Philadelphia...

Bills Fall to Bengals

0 Comments | Posted October 6, 2011 | 12:30 PM

Well, it was nice while it lasted. Everyone had their own predictions but it turns out Week 4 was the week the Buffalo Bills suffered their first loss, making them 3-1 (instead of a more attractive 4-0). Sigh.

So what happened? Let's start off with my illogical... I mean... BillsChick-esque...

Two Buffalo Bills Snag NFL Honors

0 Comments | Posted September 30, 2011 | 10:56 AM

The NFL named Ryan Fitzpatrick AFC Offensive Player of the Month for September and Rian Lindell AFC Special Teams Player of the Week following the still-makes-me-excessively-overwhelmed win over the Patriots. Bills players on the radar...finally!

It's been clear to Buffalo Bills fans (and those open-minded, logical non-Bills fans)...

Buffalo Bills Beat the Patriots

0 Comments | Posted September 28, 2011 | 10:30 AM

It's been 15 games, eight years and countless heartbreaking Sundays in the making; but (ink this in the NFL history books) the Bills finally beat the Patriots 34-31! I feel like my cat just had kittens: I'm just so proud and overcome with emotion! SO PROUD!

I think you all...

Bills vs Pats: The Impossible Week 3 Prediction

0 Comments | Posted September 25, 2011 | 2:00 PM

I refuse to speculate or make a solid prediction for tomorrow's game vs New England. I repeat, I REFUSE. Call me names -- wimp, negligent blogger, superstitious freak, paranoid psycho-I'll happily accept all of them.

It's only Week 3 but with a 2-0 start to the season holding WAY more...

What Does the Bills' 2-0 Start Really Mean?

0 Comments | Posted September 21, 2011 | 9:56 PM

Can I get some congratulations?! I'll take PayPal donations for celebratory drinks (until next Sunday it's still a celebration) or e-cards are good too. The Buffalo Bills did what most everyone except Bills Nation thought was impossible...beating the Raiders 38-35 (with 14 seconds to go!) to secure a 2-0 start...

Bills Hope to Raid the Raiders

0 Comments | Posted September 18, 2011 | 10:25 AM

If the Buffalo Bills can pull off a win at the Ralph for their homeopener against the Oakland Raiders, it would surprise just about everyone except myself and the other few thousand die-hard Bills fans who never stop Billieving (surprisingly, some of us aren't even in AA or heavily medicated...

Buffalo Bills Launch New Uniforms With a Party

The Buffalo Bills are throwing a party and you're invited!

After news broke in February that the team would be getting new uniforms for the 2011-12 season, I told you I couldn't care less... I mean, fans have been obsessively speculating what they would look like and trading...

Bills Take DT Marcell Dareus of Alabama With Third Pick

0 Comments | Posted April 29, 2011 | 1:05 PM

Marcell Dareus of Alabama.

First things first: here's to the Bills not wasting their No.3 draft selection. I'll toast to that! Second: I've been trying to push football out of my mind so I can recover from last season but that's all out the window now ... football...

Blocking Out the Lockout

0 Comments | Posted March 18, 2011 | 4:08 PM

I've been consciously absent from the lockout hullabaloo.

Reason 1: I'll be the first to admit that while I understand the basics of what's occurring, I don't know everything like many football fans are claiming to -- which, by the way, is impossible. If you're not a player,...

Hyundai 'Cures' Cramps, For A Cause

Have you ever groaned as you exit a car? You know, grunted as you swing one stiff leg onto the asphalt and utter a hefty "ughh" as the rest of your body finally frees itself? It might not happen after an eight minute drive to the grocery store, but travel...

Buffalo Bills to Get New Unis

0 Comments | Posted February 9, 2011 | 3:39 PM

In text blasts, emails and news posts veiled in mystery and secrecy, the Bills announced the team will sport new uniforms in 2011, with the official unveiling coming later this year.

Apparently, a lot of people think this is the type of announcement I'd be particularly thrilled by...

Super Bowl Ad to Tackle 'Conspiracy'

0 Comments | Posted February 5, 2011 | 1:16 PM

If there's one thing Americans like just as much as football, it's a good conspiracy. For me, NFL themed conspiracies are akin to receiving a spontaneous gift from a lover or a free drink at the bar -- they give me something to talk about and lend my impeccably accurate...

Nose tackle Kyle Williams -- who got his name on everyone's radar this season for his guts, leadership, snagging people's ankles and literally being everywhere -- has himself a spot in the Pro Bowl. The NFL announced today that he would be one of three defensive tackles representing...
