It’s been true that in 2025 my film review has declined (some major shifts in my personal life are to blame, sorry). That said, I don’t think I would have had the heart for it for the Buffalo Bills’ game against the Philadelphia Eagles if I’m being candid. Check out what else I write this week to get more insight into that.

Anyway, what I’m going to do instead for the game recap is continue another 2025 trend. Point out how losses this season have rested on the shoulders of the offense. Now I want to be clear, this is...

On Tuesday, the Buffalo Bills announced that veteran wide receiver and return specialist Mecole Hardman Jr. re-signed to the team’s practice squad. Hardman had been released from Buffalo’s active roster on December 27.

Hardman, 27, has been on and off Buffalo’s roster a few times over the last few months. He signed with the team’s practice squad on November 10, then signed to the active roster on November 15. He appeared in one game, a 44-32 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and made an immediate impact. While he saw just one target as a receiver, a deep ball that...

Neither the Buffalo Bills nor the Philadelphia Eagles have been known for avoiding flags this season. Yet both teams managed to avoid a pile of yellow laundry on a rain-soaked December evening game in Orchard Park, NY. Did Ron Torbert and company want out of the cold December rain? In this “journalist’s” opinion; yes.

In addition to low counts, there were no flags called in the final 20 minutes of game time. The relatively high harm per flag (spoiler alert) suggests they only called flags when there wasn’t much choice in the matter. If that was the main reason you...

Before embarking with a road warrior mentality during this season’s playoffs, the Buffalo Bills must first get through their final regular-season game of the 2025 NFL season. They’ll welcome the New York Jets for what could be the final game in the original Highmark Stadium, with its successor set to open across the road for the 2026 NFL season.

Odds for Bills vs. Jets in NFL Week 18

It’s a game that doesn’t hold much in the way of high-stakes intrigue, with the Jets firmly out of playoff contention and Buffalo is only likely to move up one notch...

The Buffalo Bills outgained the Philadelphia Eagles by 140 yards. They possessed the ball for 11 more minutes than their opponents. They were better on third down. They had nearly twice as many first downs as the Eagles did. They were essentially even in penalty yardage.

And yet, they came up short where it matters most: the scoreboard. Buffalo dropped a tough game to the defending Super Bowl champs, losing 13-12 in horrible Western New York rain. The loss dropped the Bills to the seven seed in the AFC while also giving the New England Patriots the AFC East Division...

The Buffalo Bills announced that they have released kicker Michael Badgley from their practice squad.

Badgley, 30, was filling in for the injured Matt Prater, who missed Buffalo’s last two games with a quad injury. Badgley made the only field goal he attempted with Buffalo, a 41-yard kick in Buffalo’s 23-20 win over the Cleveland Browns. However, he missed an extra point in that game, which gave Cleveland the option of going for a field goal in the fourth quarter to tie. He then missed his only extra-point attempt in Sunday’s 13-12 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, a try that...

It’s never easy to search for bright spots following a disappointing Buffalo Bills loss — especially when the team fails to convert a two-point conversion that would have won the game. But in an effort to search for the positive, there was certainly one player who stood out above the rest, that being newly acquired wide receiver Brandin Cooks.

Prior to Sunday’s 13-12 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Cooks had been known for two dropped passes in match-ups with the New England Patriots and Cleveland Browns. Despite those drops, the Bills had continued to show confidence in Cooks — keeping...

There will be no Victory Monday this week, as the Buffalo Bills lost 13-12 to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon, bringing their record to 11-5. The loss also clinched the AFC East division title for the New England Patriots, ending Buffalo’s five-year streak. It was an ugly game offensively, and it was the Bills’ lowest scoring total of the season.

Entering Week 17, Buffalo found itself with a few key contributors in safety Jordan Poyer, defensive tackle DaQuan Jones and tight end Dalton Kincaid. Defensive tackle Jordan Phillips and kicker Matt Prater each missed their second consecutive game, and...

The Buffalo Bills finish up the 2025 NFL regular season with a home game against the New York Jets in Week 18. It’s also very likely set to become the final game in their current stadium, Highmark Stadium — which is also lovingly referred to as “The Ralph” after late founding Bills owner Ralph C. Wilson Jr.

To mark the occasion, One Bills Drive will welcome Bills Mafia and those otherwise for kickoff at 4:05 p.m. EST on Sunday, January 4, 2026. With much of Buffalo’s playoff options already in place, there’s little more to play for in Week 18...

In the game of who can control the line of scrimmage and get opportunistic plays in the passing game, the Bills weren’t able to get enough going on offense to knock off the Philadelphia Eagles and officially ceded the AFC East divisional title to the New England Patriots.

The rain early was expected, dictating exactly what type of game would be played in the second to last game at Highmark Stadium. An early QB hit from defensive end Gregory Rousseau may have harkened back to the second half of the Cleveland Browns game, and the hope was that the Bills...

Second-guess the last play all you want. Things didn’t go how anyone in Western New York drew it up. For much of the afternoon, it felt like the Buffalo Bills’ offense had no business playing for a win late in the fourth quarter against a Philadelphia Eagles defense that came in prepared to shut them down. But Bills Mafia has been down this road with their favorite football team.

It’s been a difficult season to enjoy in Bills Country, where despite a lot of wins and some surprisingly flashy stats, well… the team just doesn’t look like it has the...
