This week’s NFL matchup that I decided to highlight a past game of on “Throwback Thursday” is between the San Diego Chargers and Tennessee Titans.

NFL – Bills’ Game Review
The Buffalo Bills’ stunning last-second 24-23 win over Carolina on Sunday can be summed up in one word – emotional.

Entering the 2013 regular season, the Buffalo Bills were almost a mystery.

Part 4 of the Buffalo Bills’ 2012 season review looks at the holes the team has, and some ways they can fill them.

NFL – Bills’ Season Review – Part 3
Part 3 of the Bills’ 2012 season review will take a look at the current roster of defensive players. The one thought I have as far as the job Dave Wannstedt did as coordinator is that he did little to put the players in position to make plays. His “scheme” was supposed to be simplistic … Read More

In part 2 of the Buffalo Bills’ season review, we’ll look at the players, by position, on the offense.
