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.

No NFL team is perfect, despite when any fan will say about their favorite club. That of course includes the Buffalo Bills, a team in 2025 that was undefeated heading into their matchup last Sunday night with the New England Patriots. As Bills Mafia knows, things didn’t go well — and that extends beyond digesting the final score.

Buffalo looked completely...

Can the Buffalo Bills get separation from better cornerback tandems than they faced the first few weeks of 2025?

After every single loss from their favorite NFL team, the blame game starts for fans. The first hurdle to clear is “offense or defense.” Finding the right side of the ball to focus attention on is the primary goal, but the secondary is “WHO on the offense or defense.” If it’s more than one or two clear answers, then the flow chart leads to “coaching.”

And while there are, as usual, many different parties at fault for the Bills’ 23-20 loss...

How the heck did the Buffalo Bills lose to the New England Patriots on Sunday Night Football? Was it the turnovers? Sure. Was it the inability to shut down Stefon Diggs and Drake Maye? Yup. I could go on, but there’s a more universal answer.

The Buffalo Bills lost their momentum early and couldn’t get it back.

Momentum isn’t real Skare

Many fans who steer toward logic over emotion sneer at the idea of “momentum.” Some even call it fiction. I’ve heard it said that if you can’t measure it or define it, then it doesn’t exist. You’re...

The Buffalo Bills finally lost a game, joining every other previously unbeaten team to finally experience defeat in Week 5. Buffalo’s offense looked out of sorts all night, and committed too many costly turnovers to overcome late in action. The team’s string of 30-point-plus games came to an end, as did running back James Cook’s streak of 100-yard games, and more significantly his touchdown-streak came to an end in game 10.

It was a costly loss to an AFC East opponent looking to get back on top, but the Bills are probably still the best team in the AFC until...

The Buffalo Bills’ perfect season ended in Week 5 with a 23-20 loss to the New England Patriots at Highmark Stadium. A 52-yard field goal by rookie kicker Andy Borregales with 15 seconds left sealed the upset, fueled by Buffalo’s three turnovers — two fumbles and an interception — and 10 penalties for 80 yards. Despite outgaining New England 389 to 354 yards, the Bills went 2-for-4 in the red zone and couldn’t stop Stefon Diggs’ (146 yards) second-half eruption.

Now 4-1, Buffalo faces Atlanta in Week 6, needing to address errors to maintain AFC East dominance. Using box scores,...

I’m going to preface what I’m sure will be many, many words about penalties that I have no love lost for Shawn Hochuli. In fact, I’ve invoked the name “Hugo Cruz” when discussing Hochuli in the past. I want fans to remember that name because there’s often chatter about how bad officiating doesn’t have consequences. It’s rarely as obvious as Cruz who was unceremoniously fired shortly after a notorious game, but refs are reviewed and corrections made.

Back on topic, yes. I’ve called for Hochuli to be unceremoniously fired. So I don’t say this lightly. It was not a perfect...

Many Buffalo Bills fans were curious when second-year wide receiver Keon Coleman was not on the field at the start of Buffalo’s home Sunday Night Football clash vs. the New England Patriots.

Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by hearing why head coach Sean McDermott opted to keep one of Josh Allen’s top weapons on the sidelines for the team’s prime time clash vs. their AFC East rivals.

Why was WR Keon Coleman benched for beginning of New England game?

On Monday, head coach Sean McDermott revealed that second-year wideout Keon Coleman was benched for disciplinary reasons stemming...

This week I brought you all a variant of the Sloppy Joe I call the Tidy Joey. It includes onion rings as retaining walls for meat to reduce the sloppiness to near zero.

Well guess what? I think the Buffalo Bills took offense to my sandwich technology upgrade and worked hard as heck to restore the universal balance of sloppiness. I won’t go over every mistake because who has the time for all that, so let’s just focus on the three uncharacteristic turnovers.

Josh Allen’s fumble

I don’t know how much I need to analyze this really. This...

The Buffalo Bills had a chance to put some distance between themselves and the field in the race for their sixth-consecutive AFC East Division title. Instead, they shot themselves in the foot multiple times in increasingly frustrating fashion, losing 23-20 to a New England Patriots squad that came in fired up and ready to play.

Buffalo had plenty of chances, but while their defense came out strong, the offense sputtered for the game’s first 30 minutes. By the time the offense found some semblance of rhythm, the defense was unable to maintain theirs. Three turnovers, 11 accepted penalties, and plenty...

The Buffalo Bills were the last of the NFL’s undefeated teams heading into their Sunday Night Football clash vs. the New England Patriots, but following a sloppy effort on offense, an erratic performance on defense and plenty of penalties, the Bills (4-1) took their first loss of the season.

Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks examines what went wrong in Buffalo’s 23-20 home loss to the New England Patriots (3-2).

What happened in the Bills loss to Patriots?

The Buffalo Bills not only suffered their first loss of the season, they saw their 14-game home winning streak come to an...

Yes, the Buffalo Bills lost to the New England Patriots this weekend. They are 4-1 and in second place in the AFC. But they are still sitting pretty all thing considered and in charge of their own destiny.

You can’t say the same for the other preseason favorites in the AFC.

The defending AFC champion Kansas City Chiefs lost on Monday night to fall to 2-3 on the year, a game back plus a tiebreaker in their own division. They control their own destiny to the AFC West crown, but the path looks more difficult each week. The path gets...

Week 5 of NFL action comes to a close tonight with the 3-1 Jacksonville Jaguars hosting the 2-2 Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football. Prior to last week, much had been made about KC’s demise in 2025. Now, there are those who believe whatever ailed the Chiefs has been corrected, and that they’re well on their way to another Super Bowl run.

That for sure delights Bills Mafia, a fan base that certainly has little to no distaste for all things connected to Arrowhead Stadium. When it comes to these Chiefs, there’s almost never a game Bills fans find...
