Bills a franchise at a crossroads (http://www.nationalpost.com/sports/Stinson+Bills+franchise+crossroads/3496890/story.html)
There are many ways to illustrate the differences between the fortunes of the Indianapolis Colts and the Buffalo Bills over the past 15 years. Win-loss record, playoff appearances, Super Bowls, Pro Bowls — you pick the metric, and chances are there will be a considerable favourable advantage for the team from Indiana over the one from Western New York.

Here's my preseason All-AFC East team (http://espn.go.com/blog/afceast/post/_/id/17704/heres-my-preseason-all-afc-east-team)
In February, the wait felt like it would be interminable. As it does every year. But we're finally here. The start of the NFL regular season is upon us. A meaningful game will be played Thursday night in the Superdome. Let's mark the occasion in the AFC East with a look at my preseason all-division team.

The NFL returns tonight. The Buffalo Bills return to games that count on Sunday, when they'll take on the hated - yes, hated, Mike Harrington - Miami Dolphins. Now that it's Thursday, and the game is mere days away, we're going to start getting into the details of what is a vastly underrated Week 1 matchup.

Rumblings Book Review: Standing Tall - The Kevin Everett Story (http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2010/9/9/1602614/rumblings-book-review-standing)
"My body went numb. It felt like he ran straight through me." Kevin Everett raced down the field to start the second half of the Buffalo Bills season opener against the Denver Broncos on September 9, 2007. He was at full speed, having run untouched through the Broncos kickoff return unit when he slammed into returner Domenik Hixon.

Trent Edwards is only entering his fourth NFL season, but he’s experienced just about all the ups and downs possible in a young career. Multiple quarterback competitions, multiple offensive systems, multiple coordinators and the loss of the starting quarterback job in 2009.

Byrd A Full Participant As Bills Prep For Dolphins (http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2010/9/8/1677340/byrd-a-full-participant-as-bills)
The preliminary injury report is out for Sunday's matchup between the Buffalo Bills and the Miami Dolphins. Teams are not required to provide anything more than level of participation in practice this early in the week, and the Bills and Dolphins are both relatively healthy.

Spiller gets the nod as Bills starter (http://niagara-gazette.com/buffalo-bills/x627000926/Spiller-gets-the-nod-as-Bills-starter)
It took a few short months for Bills rookie running back C.J. Spiller to win the starting job and elevate expectations around town that Buffalo’s anemic offense just might have a semblance of a spark. The one thing Spiller’s careful of is to remind everyone that he can’t do it alone.

Trent Edwards is ready to have fun this season. Just ask him. Every time he opens his mouth, Edwards tells us how much he's enjoying his job. At Wednesday's opening media day, the Bills' quarterback used "enjoy" in one form or another no fewer than eight times.

This year, I was more relieved than usual to see the NFL preseason come to a merciful conclusion. Given one more encouraging performance by the starters, a lot of Bills fans would have begun making travel plans for the Super Bowl in Dallas.
