Week 1 vs Colts
6 Mintue Quarters
Q1: Dan Carpenter, 53 yard Field Goal makes it 3-0 Bills (3:17)
Q2: Adam Vinatieri, 55 yard Field goal makes it 3-3 (4:13) Tyrod Taylor to Charles Clay, 9 Yard TD (0:00) Dan Carpenter kick makes it 10-3 Bills
Q4: Andrew Luck to TY Hilton, 13 Yard TD. (1:36) Ada, Vinatieri kick makes it 10-10. Tyrod Taylor to Todd Gurley, 2 Yard TD. (0:38) Dan Carpenter kick makes it 17-10 Bills.
It was a defensive war. Tyrod Taylor couldn't get a groove going with his receivers until late in the game. He did finish with over 200 yards and 2 TDs through the air. The Bills offensive line struggled mightly. Tyrod Taylor was forced to scramble to make plays. Todd Gurley got hardly anything on the ground because of the poor O-Line play but he did catch a game winning touchdown from Taylor. Dan Carpenter missed a field goal of 55 yards but the wind was in his face. Undrafted rookie free agent safety, Cody Prewitt was dominant and lead the Bills with 7 tackles. Also, rookie DE, Michael Bennett showed exactly why the Bills new owner traded Mario Williams for him. The rookie recorded two key tackles for a loss and recorded a sack, all in the fourth quarter. Overall it wasn't a pretty victory. But in the end, a win is a win.

Week 2 vs Patriots
(6 minute quarters)
Q1: Tyrod Taylor, 1 yard rush (2:26) Dan Carpenter kick makes it 7-0 Bills
Q2: Stefen Gostkowski 49 yard FG (2:26) Makes it 7-3 Bills Tyrod Taylor, 14 yard rush (4:12) Dan Carpenter kick makes it 14-3 Bills

Tyrod Taylor was electric! He went 12 for 13, 176 yards and 1 TD. He also added 73 yards on 9 carries and 3 TDs! Todd Gurley absolutely gassed the Patriot defense and rushed for 101 yards on 23 carries. Sammy Watkins came up with 4 grabs for 73 yards and a 31 yard TD. The offensive line for Buffalo was far more impressive this week and it allowed the playbook to open up. Rookie safety, Kurtis Drummon lead the team with 7 tackles, rookie DE Michae Bennett was dominant once again. He had sack and a forced fumble. Leodis McKelvin may have saved his starting position after securing a clutch interception off of Tom Brady.

Massive Trade Reached w/ the Rams!
The Bills and Rams have reached a deal to trade RB LeSean McCoy, FS Corey Graham, and a 2016 3rd Round Pick for rookie RB Todd Gurley and a 2016 6th Round pick!
The new owner of the Bills is said to be revamping the team in his vision and that several major changes are currently developing within the Bills roster and organization. Trades & Moves!
The Bills and Texans have agreed to trade DT Marcell Dareus, QB EJ Manuel, and MLB Preston Brown for MLB Whitney Mercilus SS Kurtis Drummond, and QB Tom Savage.
The Bills and Ravens have agreed to trade WR Percy Harvin for WR Michael Campanaro, MLB Arthur Brown, and a 2016 6th Round Pick.
The Bills and Rams have agreed to trade C Erik Wood and a 2016 2nd Round Pick for DT Michael Brockers and G Rodger Saffold III.
The Bills and Jaguars have agreed to trade DT Kyle Williams and DE Mario Williams for rookie DT Michael Bennett and DE Chris Clemons.
The Bills and Steelers have agreed to trade a 2017 3rd Round Pick for rookie TE Jesse James and a 2016 5th Round Pick.
The Bills have signed rookie FS Cody Prewitt.
The Bills have signed C Rich Ohrnberger.
The Bills have signed OLB Cameron Lawrence.
The Bills have signed OLB Emmanuel Acho.
The Bills have signed CB Javier Arenas.
The Bills have signed rookie QB Bryan Bennett.
Thoughts on... Rams trade (1): I love Gurley on this game. I shoved him down my brother's throat when we played as the Seahawks, but why give up McCoy?? You're an Eagles fan, and I bet you're a pro on how to use Shady!! I have to ask.. WHY?!?! Texans trade: Can't wrap my head around this either, unless you're head over heels for Whitney Mercilus, but was it worth to give up Dareus? You don't even know if he'd be able to help you in Madden or not. Ravens trade: I like this, because I'm a personal fan of Campanaro. Plus, Harvin's not THAT good on Madden, and I think Arthur Brown would be good... But Mercilus and Brown? Hmm.. Rams trade (2): You had to give up a 2nd-rounder, but I like Brockers on this defensive line. You knew what team to target though, because they are stacked at DT. Jaguars trade: LOL, almost seems like you're blowing this team up by revamping the team's strength, the defensive line. I'd take Williams and Williams (no relation) over Bennett and Clemons any day. Steelers trade: You basically got the tight end for a 4th rounder, so that's not bad. Best of luck with the guys you signed in free agency. Can't add too much, except Acho's kinda good on Madden, and I haven't really played with Lawrence much, even if he was a Cowboy. I almost think you have to get some defensive end depth, but that's just me. Hope these work out with you. I'm intrigued at this point, very much so. I can see you're having fun with this though, so that's the main part.. Excited to see a team in Toronto!!

Weeks 3 & 4 Recapped
Week 3 @ Dolphins
QB Tyrod Taylor was once again electric! He completed 11 for 13 passes for 129 yards and a TD plus 46 yards on 3 attempted rushes for a TD. Todd Gurley looks more and more impressive as the season grows. He gassed the Dolphins for 145 yards on 24 attempts and a TD. The rookie safeties continue to make noise. Cody Prewitt led the team in tackles with 8! And rookie DE Michael Bennett wracked up another sack. The Bills offensive line finally looks to be moving in the right direction while the defense continues to keep the opposing teams pinned down.
Week 4 vs Giants
Remember when I said everything was clicking in week 3 and the team looked to be heading in the right direction? EH! Wrong! QB Tyrod Taylor took a beating and was carted off the field at the end of the 1st Q. He would be later diagnosed with a torn ACL. The offensive line moved backwards and was thrown around like a rag doll by the Giants defensive line. Todd Gurley needed to make extra moves just to secure positive yardage. Although he did finish with 96 yards on 23 attempts. The Bills were down 24-10 at one point and backup QB Tom Savage lead the Bills down the field to tie it, 24 all. WR Michael Campanaro had his wake up call. The Bills slot receiver snagged 6 catches for 123 years and 3 TDs! Rookie safety Kurtis Drummond had a career game. He recorded 7 tackles, 1 INT, a fumble, and a fumble recovery. But the Bills offense couldn't get it done. They scored a TD on their final drive to make it 31-30, but instead of kicking the extra point, they elected to go for 2 and the win. Tom Savage's pass was intercepted. CB Stephon Gilmore was completely schooled by Giants WR Odell Beckham. Gilmore allowed Beckham to catch 8 balls for 177 yards and 3 TDs. DE Michael Bennett once again sacked the QB, his sack total is now up to 3.5. QB Tom Savage finished 19 for 26 for 380 yards and 4 TDs. But he also turned the football over twice with 1 INT and a ball that sailed over WR Michael Campanaro on 4th down early in the 3rd. One thing is for certain, the Bills are going to need to really look at what they got with QB Tyrod Taylor lost for the season.

So I'm a little lost. Did you win the first game and lose the second?? And you traded EJ Manuel away for Tom Savage!! Hope Tom "sa(L)vages" this season!

Roster Moves
QB Tyrod Taylor has put placed on injured reserve with a complete ACL tear.
The Bills have signed veteran QB Michael Vick to a 1 year deal. Vick is expected to takeover as the Bills starter. Tom Savage will continue to serve a back up role. It is being reported that the Bills do not feel comfortable with him starting because of his over sailing passes and turn overs.
3rd string QB rookie Bryan Bennett was released to make room for CB Dwayne Gratz, whom the Bills traded a 2017 4th round pick and a 2017 6th round pick for. This move comes just a day after Stephon Gilmore was taken out of his game by Odell Beckham. Gilmore remains the starting corner with Leodis McKelvin, but Gratz is said to be on the outside looking in if Gilmore continues to botch coverage.

Be interesting to see if you rely on Gurley to carry you through.

Week 6 @ Titans
The Titans came into the game planning to stop Todd Gurley. They stacked the box and were completely unprepared for what hit them. QB Michael Vick lit the Titans defense up for 263 yards and 4 TDs! He also added 61 yards on the ground on 7 attempts. Todd Gurley still finished with an average game, despite poor offensive line play yet again. He finished with 13 catches for 66 yards and a TD. Gurley also secured 3 catches for 56 yards. Cody Prewitt and Kurtis Drummon led the way again on defense! Prewitt led the team with 8 tackles and a tackle for a loss while Drummond secured 5 tackles, a tackle for a loss, and a redzone INT! Marcus Mariota constantly picked on Stephon Gilmore. Gilmore allowed the Titans to pick up multiple 3rd down conversions. Could a benching be coming his way? And Michael Campanaro had another electrifying game, this time on special teams. He had 3 returns for 111, with his longest being a 53 yarder. The Bills hung on to win, 38-28.

Week 6 vs Bengals
Well... The Bengals came in and did what they could. But they were not even close. QB Mike Vick went 13 for 16, 203 yards, and 3 TDs! He had a perfect 158.3 rating! He also amazingly added 140 yards on 15 rushing attempts and added 2 TDs. Vick totaled 5 TDs! Todd Gurley rushed for 62 yards on 19 attempts. He also added 2 catches for 45 yards and 2 TDs! Michael Campanaro came up huge on 3rd down conversions. He converted 3 conversions on 3 catches. He caught 5 catches for 69 yards in total. TE Charles Clay also caught 2 TDs. The first was a fake field goal attempt from Tom Savage, then later from Vick. Cody Prewitt led the team with 5 tackles and Stephon Gilmore saved his starting position by recording 2 INTs and blanketing AJ Green. But it was Leodis McKelvin who was benched in favor for Dwayne Gratz. But McKelvin will keep his starting position, but it is said that he will be on a short leash. The Bills won 49-14.
The Bills have also released LB Ik Enemkpali and have signed LB Sean Spence.
