Buffalo Bills release LB Jimmy Ciarlo, CB Jalen Kimber on Tuesday

Buffalo Bills release LB Jimmy Ciarlo, CB Jalen Kimber on Tuesday

The Buffalo Bills made a pair of roster moves, releasing linebacker Jimmy Ciarlo and cornerback Jalen Kimber from the practice squad. Thanks in large part to HBO’s “Hard Knocks,” Ciarlo, an ARMY infantry officer, was a preseason darling with Bills Mafia, signing with the team late in summer and showing out in action.

He was released during final cutdowns ahead of Week 1, then re-signed to Buffalo’s practice squad. The team promoted Ciarlo to the 53-man on October 4, at which point he made his first NFL start in Week 5 against the New England Patriots for Sunday Night Football....

Bills Mafia dejected after loss to Falcons in Week 6

Bills Mafia dejected after loss to Falcons in Week 6

Since Josh Allen came to the Buffalo Bills , fans have had plenty of reasons to be optimistic about their favorite team’s chances. While every season has a number of peaks and valleys, Bills Mafia seems to be at a bit of a crossroads following Monday night’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

After two lackluster performances in primetime games, it’s certainly understandable that the fan base would be frustrated. Heck, I pride myself on being level-headed when it comes to the Bills, yet even I find this team to be maddening and unrecognizable over the past two weeks. Since Monday...

Bills at Falcons Week 6 snap count analysis

The Buffalo Bills have dropped back-to-back games after starting the new season with a 4-0 record. This time, it was a 24-14 loss on Monday Night Football against the Atlanta Falcons.

It was ugly both offensively and defensively, and the team has plenty of issues to address as they enter the bye week.

Bills have lots to fix and little time to spare

Bills have lots to fix and little time to spare

All the Buffalo Bills had to do to defeat the Atlanta Falcons was score more than 24 points. If someone knew that going into Monday Night Football, they’d probably believe Josh Allen was a lock to get it done. When the final whistle blew, Buffalo had just 14 points — only one touchdown to begin each half. That’s rarely enough to get a “W” in today’s NFL.

The Bills are now 4-2, having lost a road game in which they never led. For the second-consecutive game, Buffalo lost the turnover battle, which is uncharacteristic of teams under head coach Sean...

AFC Playoff Picture: Buffalo Bills lost the AFC East lead on Monday

After losing the number two spot in the conference without playing on Sunday, the Buffalo Bills fell even farther with their loss on Monday night. The New England Patriots have passed the Bills for the top spot in the AFC East.

The Indianapolis Colts pulled out another victory, holding off the gritty Arizona Cardinals late to stay in the top spot. The Pittsburgh Steelers neutralized the Cleveland Browns to claim second.

At 4-2, the Los Angeles Chargers win the tiebreakers to get the third seed over the Patriots and the Broncos.

Buffalo Bills lose the game and multiple players against Atlanta Falcons

Buffalo Bills lose the game and multiple players against Atlanta Falcons

The Buffalo Bills lost to the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night, spinning s string of injuries and bad decisions into their second straight defeat. The Bills are 4-2 and enter their bye week in second place in the AFC East. It’s an epic disaster for Josh Allen, Sean McDermott, and Buffalo at large. We could see some changes in the next two weeks with the extra time and the massive numbers of injuries.

Before we get to the injuries, here is the drive-by-drive summary.

On the very first play from scrimmage, the Buffalo Bills forced a fumble to set the...

Terrel Bernard injury: Buffalo Bills linebacker leaves game vs Atlanta Falcons

Terrel Bernard injury: Buffalo Bills linebacker leaves game vs Atlanta Falcons

The Buffalo Bills are down a laundry list of defensive players and it just keeps getting worse. Defensive captain Terrel Bernard left the Week 6 game against the Atlanta Falcons in the second quarter with a lower leg injury. After halftime, he came out in his pads and is listed as questionable, but he is sitting on the bench with a beanie on his head.

The Bills put Shaq Thompson into the game to replace him with Matt Milano already injured. The only linebacker not in the lineup right now is Joe Andreesen with Jimmy Ciarlo a healthy scratch.

Bills vs. Falcons Week 6 second-half open thread

The Buffalo Bills are in the midst of true struggle. After racing out to a 4-0 start where they look to be almost sleep-walking through inferior competition, now they look to be asleep at the wheel of an out-of-control car. Buffalo has a lot of questions to ask of its first-half play, and they’re in some ways fortunate things aren’t worse up on the scoreboard, down “just” 21-7.

It was an ominous start for the Bills, which saw starting defensive tackle DaQuan Jones lost to a calf injury during warm-ups. That was but a harbinger of things to come for...

Christian Benford injury: Buffalo Bills cornerback injured against Atlanta Falcons

The Buffalo Bills are already incredibly thin at cornerback. They got even thinner late in the first half against the Atlanta Falcons when Christian Benford left the game with a leg injury. He limped off the field while the Falcons were trying their two-minute drill.

Benford re-entered the game in the third quarter with that the team called an Achilles injury. He didn’t look hobbled, but he can’t be 100%.

First-round pick Max Hairston has been injured since early training camp and remains on injured reserve. Sixth-round pick Dorian Strong started the season opener and there were high hopes for...

Josh Palmer injury: Buffalo Bills wide receiver injured vs Falcons

On the opening play of the game, Buffalo Bills receiver Josh Palmer caught a Josh Allen bomb for 45 yards. His second catch was for 15 yards, but as soon as he was pulled down by the defender, his leg bent awkwardly. He was down on the field and went to the blue medical tent. He was tended to by trainers and his return is unknown at this point.

Palmer is currently jogging on the sideline with trainers.

The Bills are already down Curtis Samuel, who is inactive in this game, and tight end Dalton Kincaid is sidelined with an...

Bills DT DaQuan Jones injured during pregame warm-up

Bills DT DaQuan Jones injured during pregame warm-up

The Buffalo Bills will have to make a last-minute change along the defensive line, this after veteran defensive tackle DaQuan Jones reportedly injured his calf during pregame warm-ups. The Bills called up defensive tackle Jordan Phillips for tonight’s game against the Atlanta Falcons, and it’s Phillips who stands to earn a lot of extra playing time in Week 6.

Defensive tackle Ed Oliver will start tonight at three-tech, but it remains to be seen who starts next to him as the one-tech DT. The Bills have just three defensive tackles active this evening, which includes rookie defensive tackle Deone Walker...
