The Buffalo Bills are under a lot of scrutiny to perform and finally get to (and hopefully win) a Super Bowl during Joe Brady’s first season as head coach after taking over for the fired Sean McDermott.

One of the Bills under the most pressure to perform this year is third-year wide receiver Keon Coleman, who has shown flashes of his potential since being drafted with the first pick in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by hearing from Coleman on why he is facing a “make or break” year with...

The Buffalo Bills have a need for speed in the defensive secondary. Over the last two offseasons, the Bills have made a concerted effort to add more athleticism to their defense’s back end, bolstering the overall speed of the group through multiple signings and draft choices.

While it’s clear that this transition was occurring with former head coach Sean McDermott at the helm, it’s apparent that new defensive boss Jim Leonhard wants to accelerate the process. This doesn’t mean that the players drafted for McDermott’s zone-heavy scheme are obsolete in Buffalo’s new defense, but it does imply that there may...

The Buffalo Bills, like every NFL team, selected players in this year’s NFL Draft. While most of this year’s picks for the Bills were on the defensive side of the ball, in the fourth round they selected wide receiver Skyler Bell, a former UConn Husky. The Bills have a shifty receiver in Khalil Shakir, receiving options with big bodies at tight end, James Cook, and hopefully Keon Coleman turns a makes strides this year. Where exactly does Bell fit in on the Bills’ offense? I’m glad you asked.

Some Film!

The Buffalo Bills are heading into a season with a new defensive system for the first time in a long time. Not since the transition from Rex Ryan’s defense to Sean McDermott’s have we had to think about what a new system would look like.

While we won’t know for sure what defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard has in store for us until Week One against the Houston Texans, we will start to see some hints in training camp once practice begins in earnest. For now, we can wonder whether players from McDermott’s tenure fit into Leonhard’s vision for the club—and...

In the second installment of this series, we covered the perimeter — DJ Moore’s arrival and the three-way fight behind him on the Buffalo Bills roster. Now we cross to the other side of the ball, where the stakes are higher, and the starting point is uglier. Buffalo finished 27th in pass rush win rate last season, and the front seven Jim Leonhard inherited barely resembles the one that ended the 2025 season in Denver. Joey Bosa, A.J. Epenesa, Matt Milano, and Shaq Thompson are all gone and unsigned. What replaced them is a rebuilt 3-4 front full of new...

The Buffalo Bills are less than two weeks away from the start of training camp at St. John Fisher University. It’s a point in the summer that felt like it’d never come, simply due to a massive change in the coaching sphere at One Bills Drive. While new head coach Joe Brady is familiar, it’s anyone’s guess how his system will...

The Buffalo Bills transition to a completely new Jim Leonhard-coordinated defense this season has justifiably generated the most intrigue from fans and media alike.

I’m most excited to witness Joe Brady’s offense work.

And I’m suggesting the Bills return to their pass-obsessed ways from two offensive coordinators before Brady started calling plays in Orchard Park in 2023.

During the Bills breakout AFC East-winning 2020 campaign, when they advanced to the AFC Championship Game, **they had the NFL’s highest first-down pass rate in all situations at 61% and the highest first-down pass rate in neutral situations — when the point margin...

The Buffalo Bills combined to throw 121 passes to their tight ends last year, 98 of which went to the top two guys on their depth chart. The foursome that Buffalo played at tight end combined for 95 receptions, 1,210 receiving yards, and 12 touchdowns.

Perhaps it’s no surprise, then, that the Bills have decided to run it back with nearly the same tight end grouping that they used last year. There was one big question mark, though, and it related less to the player’s talent and fit on the team and more to his salary cap number.

In today’s...

As the 2026 NFL season gets closer, so does fantasy football. Right now, most fantasy leagues are probably finalizing keepers and trying to plan their rookie dynasty drafts. In fantasy football, the most targeted players on the Buffalo Bills are obviously Josh Allen and James Cook.

Let’s examine a sleeper pick or two that could end up winning you a fantasy title.

The first is tight end Dalton Kincaid, a player worth the gamble. Although he had health issues last season, he still ranked as the 15th overall tight end in fantasy at ESPN.

A season ago, despite playing on...

The Buffalo Bills officially unveiled their expanded Buffalo Bills Radio Network for the 2026 season, growing to 23 affiliate stations across New York, Pennsylvania, and even Florida as the team prepares for its first season in the new Highmark Stadium.

The team also announced new pregame and postgame shows, expanding their game day offerings.

Chris Trapasso, Buffalo Rumblings’ Editor-in-Chief, has been named co-host of the Bills’ brand new live pregame and postgame radio shows along with former Bills Pro Bowl center Mitch Morse.

The new pregame show will begin two hours before kickoff, with Trapasso and Morse breaking down storylines,...

Buffalo Bills fans have long thought of Josh Allen as the best quarterback in the NFL, and in a recent survey conducted by ESPN, those feelings were validated when Allen claimed the top spot, edging out rivals like Patrick Mahomes, Matthew Stafford, Lamar Jackson, and Joe Burrow.

Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by examining ESPN’s rankings and getting reaction to Allen’s position atop the QB rankings.

Check out the assessments and then be sure to leave your thoughts on Allen being named the best QB in the league in the comments section.

Josh Allen is ‘the most singularly...

The Buffalo Bills offensive formational tendency in 2025 was straight out of an Avengers movie: perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

Buffalo utilized a 2×2 offensive formation (two eligible receivers to the left of the left tackle, two eligible receivers to the right of the right tackle) on 40.67% of their regular season offensive plays last season, per SumerSports. That represented the plurality of all of their 1082 charted plays. They utilized 1×3 and 3×1 formations combined on 33.54% of their offensive plays. This was the 23rd and 31st highest rate in the NFL, respectively, for those formations.

Although...
