‘I know I’m not the first to throw this name out here, but Olave makes so much sense for the Bills. If you look at the last two games, they lost to both the Patriots and Falcons, a true number one wide receiver with big playmaking ability made a big difference and gave Buffalo’s defense matchup problems all night long.’

Today in Bills stadium history: Oct. 17
‘2004 — Bills 20, Dolphins 13 — Buffalo’s first victory with Mike Mularkey as coach came after an 0-4 start against a Miami team that was also winless under coach Dave Wannstedt three weeks before he would get fired, and eight years before his terrible turn as Bills defensive coordinator. Takeo Spikes returned an interception for a touchdown early in this one, Drew Bledsoe passed for 212 yards with a go-ahead TD to tight end Mark Campell in the third quarter, and Willis McGahee rushed for 111 yards in his first NFL start, including a 31-yard run to close out the victory on the final drive. Attendance at Ralph Wilson Stadium was 72,714.’

Why aren't the Bills using James Cook more? Examining the problem and possible solutions
‘Cook has touched the ball just 32 times over the past two games. He hasn’t played more than one third-down snap in a game since Week 1. In the first quarter of their two losses, the Bills handed the ball to Cook just six times. He had six first-quarter runs in their blowout win over the Jets in Week 2. Allen has thrown the ball to Cook just once in the last two weeks. His lack of involvement was a topic McDermott broached with Brady during their weekly study of their previous game, but will the Bills use Cook more when they play again in Carolina on Oct. 26?’
Bills notebook: Brady again pushes back on 'too cute'; Babich on halftime adjustments
‘“Like we said earlier in the season, we needed to have those elements to our offense to be able to get the ball in the perimeter, as opposed to just packing everything in at all times. But we’ve gone two straight weeks where we put the ball on the ground. That can’t happen.”‘
Buffalo Bills host public forum on transportation hub on Oct. 27
‘The Buffalo Bills will host a public forum with the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority later this month to provide the public with more information about the transportation hub it will build across from the team’s new stadium.’
Bills expect to achieve workforce goals with stadium demo
‘They are 0.1% away from the goal for military veteran service-disabled businesses, and expect to meet that criteria when bids are awarded for the demolition, slated for the spring of 2027.’
Should the Bills trade to bolster their roster? Here are options
‘It’s difficult for salary cap-strained teams to make game-changing additions at the deadline because the caliber of player needed is going to be costly. The Bills have only around $2.5 million available, second-fewest ahead of only the Giants, so general manager Brandon Beane – whose roster construction of the 2025 team is coming under big-time fire – will have to be willing to move a very good player from his roster to acquire another very good player.’
Bills release longshot who became a fan favorite on 'Hard Knocks'
‘Ciarlo is a 24-year-old West Point graduate who put his military service on hold while he pursued his football dreams. He was cut near the end of the preseason and later signed to the Bills practice squad. Ciarlo was signed from the practice squad to the active roster on Oct. 4. He was inactive for the team’s Week 6 matchup at Atlanta.’
Bills coach who is catching heat from fans is a favorite to fill 2 coaching vacancies
‘Offensive coordinator Joe Brady’s name has been mentioned in head coach vacancies at the Tennessee Titans and Penn State.’
Buffalo’s bye week Comes with a reality check
‘And that’s led to fair questions: Have they hit their peak? Will they ever give their MVP-caliber quarterback the help he needs to win a Super Bowl? Did the front office surround Josh Allen with enough weapons, or whiff on key defensive additions? Is a coaching change necessary, or even imminent?’
BiIls positions with the highest priority to upgrade to avoid continued skid before trade deadline
‘Two losses shouldn’t change what the expectations were for the team prior to the season nor after their 4-0 start. But the Bills have significant holes to fill, ones that were obvious before losing to the Patriots and Falcons.’
Bills quarterback Josh Allen reveals what newlywed wife Hailee Steinfeld taught him about life
‘The “Starving” singer and Allen tied the knot back in May in California after roughly eight months of being engaged, and it appears that the marriage has already offered a valuable life lesson for Allen.’
Bills OC Joe Brady lays down challenge to struggling offense
‘Plenty of criticism has flown in the direction of offensive coordinator Joe Brady due to questionable play-calling in big moments – such as a reverse to Elijah Moore on 3rd-and-1 when James Cook, who wasn’t even on the field for the play, was averaging five yards per carry.’
Bills lament lack of James Cook involvement late vs. Falcons
‘In the fourth quarter, Cook barely saw the football, with back-to-back three-and-outs before Buffalo, with time winding down, was in need of chunk plays down two scores.’
Today in Bills stadium history: Oct. 16
‘1977 — Bills 3, Falcons 0 — Buffalo’s first victory of the ’77 season was far from enthralling for the crowd of 27,348, the lowest ever at that point in stadium history. O.J. Simpson rushed for 138 yards to become the second NFL player to surpass 10,000 for his career, and Neil O’Donoghue’s 30-yard field goal in the second quarter was the game’s only scoring play. The Bills defense allowed just 200 yards and came up with a fourth down stop deep in the red zone at the end of the game. The win was Buffalo’s first in 13 games under coach Jim Ringo.’
