Our Thanksgiving edition of the Buffalo Rumblings Power Rankings Roundup is here. I’m certain it’s as anticipated as the National Dog Show, at worst. At best? Moving on…

Well, Week 12 really stunk for Buffalo Bills fans. Buffalo lost again and most of the teams the Bills needed help from failed to get the job done. All’s not lost, however. There are six games left, which means the Bills should approach the rest of the regular season as if the playoffs start in Week 13.

It’s possible the football world watched the Houston Texans play their best game of the...

It’s been a week since the Buffalo Bills played football, but it feels like a lot longer. Despite the extra three days of rest, Buffalo is still dealing with a lengthy injury list as they began practice before their Week 13 game with the Pittsburgh Steelers this coming Sunday.

Quarterback Josh Allen scared all of Western New York last Thursday when, after being taken down from behind, he laid on the turf in obvious pain. Allen never missed a play, and went back into the game with gauze and tape on his left elbow as the broadcast said he looked...

The Buffalo Bills may be without both starting offensive tackles on Sunday when they play the Pittsburgh Steelers and their strong pass rush. Right tackle Spencer Brown left Sunday’s game with a shoulder injury and did not practice Wednesday. Joining him on the injured list was left tackle Dion Dawkins, who has entered the concussion protocol.

In order to exit the protocol in time for Sunday’s game, Dawkins will need to be a limited participant on Thursday and a full participant on Friday to have a shot at playing Sunday. Players must participate in one full-contact practice and pass a...

The Buffalo Bills released wide receiver Elijah Moore on Wednesday, November 26. Moore’s release comes just a day after One Bills Drive signed veteran free-agent wide receiver Brandin Cooks to the 53-man active roster. Initially thought of as a potential dark horse to produce decent results in Buffalo, Moore’s potential just failed to materialize.

In nine games (2 starts) with the Bills in 2025, Moore caught just nine passes (17 targets) for 112 yards. He was also utilized as a runner behind the line of scrimmage, where he gained 24 yards and one touchdown on six carries, all per *[Pro...

The Buffalo Bills signed former New Orleans Saints wide receiver Brandin Cooks on Tuesday to the surprise of many observers. Cooks had requested his release after not being a large part of the New Orleans Saints’ offense so far in 2025, and the team had granted it a few months into a two-year, $13 million deal he signed with New Orleans in March.

It’s the latest in a series of moves at the position by the Bills in the recent weeks. The team benched 2024 second-round selection Keon Coleman, gave additional playing time to undrafted free agent and former practice...

Last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, several fans caught a moment that immediately set social media buzzing. A disagreement broke out between Buffalo Bills offensive linemen Dion Dawkins and David Edwards on the sideline. The altercation happened on the bench, with Dawkins and Edwards exchanging heated words before shoving one another. Spencer Brown quickly stepped in, acting as the buffer between two of the Bills’ most important offensive linemen.

At the time, it felt like the kind of flare-up that happens on every NFL team at some point during a long season full of frustration, emotion, and competitiveness. Usually...

Look, I know. I get it. It’s hard to get too excited about a wide receiver that a 2-9 team was all like “Yeah, get on outta here ya rascal” when he asked for his release. It’s maybe even harder to get there when the receiver is on the wrong side of 30 and where Buffalo will be his sixth unique stop.

Wow, I’m really doing a bad job selling wide receiver Brandin Cooks to y’all. Let’s look at some film and give the guy a chance.

The Buffalo Bills have brought in another veteran to improve their situation at wide receiver, this time with general manager Brandon Beane signing Brandin Cooks to the 53-man roster on Tuesday.

Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off with observations on the signing and explores what Cooks, 32, could bring to Buffalo’s passing offense over the rest of the season.

What can Brandin Cooks bring to offense?

In 10 games this year with the New Orleans Saints, Cooks caught 19 passes for 165 yards, but with recent addition Mecole Hardman Jr. being placed on Injured Reserve, the team had...

Following a Week 12 loss where the Buffalo Bills again saw most of their wide receivers struggle to gain separation and make a meaningful impact down the field, plenty wondered if it was time to look outside the organization for help. Former New Orleans Saints wide receiver Brandin Cooks became a hot name in plenty of Bills-centric circles in recent days after he asked for and received his release.

Cooks cleared waivers on November 24, which allowed him to become a free agent. Reports stated that Cooks was most interested in joining one of three teams: The Los Angeles Rams,...

The Buffalo Bills (7-4) are on the verge of being on the outside looking in when it comes to the AFC playoff picture, and one week after their offensive line was bullied by a ferocious Houston Texans’ front four, the task won’t get any easier when the Bills travel to play the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-5) in a Week 13 clash.

Heading into another pivotal road showdown, today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off with early thoughts on the matchup with the Steelers, who, like the Texans, boast a talented pass rush, led by T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, and emerging star...

Do you even want to Billieve anymore?

I keep going back to the 2023 season as my crutch to help keep the belief alive. The similarities between the current Buffalo Bills team and that Bills team are there. The 2025 Bills have lost four of seven after starting 4-0. The 2023 Bills lost five of eight between Weeks 5 and 12. The offense just didn’t look right. Receivers could not get separation, the play calling was vanilla and predictable, and Josh Allen was forcing plays, and quite frankly did not look like Josh Allen. We longed for the days of...
