Buffalo Rumblings
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Bills fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
Okay Rumblers, it’s time to let us know how you’re feeling about the Buffalo Bills now that the initial 53-man roster is set for the 2025 NFL season. There weren’t any real surprises out of One Bills Drive on cutdown day. The best news may be that cornerback Tre’Davious White was not sent to the Injured Reserve (IR)/return list, meaning that his timetable to recovery from a lower leg injury sounds as if it will take less time to heal. We still don’t know exactly what’s bothering White, nor if he’ll be ready to face the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1.
Buffalo didn’t show well in its first two preseason games, but rebounded well to close out exhibition season with a more refined performance out of the team’s roster depth. The Bills have yet to reveal much of their offense for the coming season, and quarterback Josh Allen has yet to take a snap against unfriendly fire outside of a joint practice with the Chicago Bears.
Will we continue to see offensive coordinator Joe Brady evolve as a play caller? Will wide receiver Khalil Shakir be ready to go out of the gate? Will Keon Coleman become a more complete receiver in year two? As for rookie cornerback Maxwell Hairston: What’s the plan for him now that he begins the season on IR? Can Cole Bishop lock down a starting role at safety? What about the defense as a whole? Will we see a better counter to opponents’ rushing attacks, and can the defense find the luck it needs to maintain a greater bit of health in 2025?
There are so many questions to answer, and we’ve only touched the surface here. Thinking through the above and your other questions ahead of Week 1, how are you feeling about the Bills’? Vote below!
How confident are you in the 2025 Bills now compared to earlier in the offseason?
