Bleav in Buffalo

When you have a conversation about Super Bowl contenders in the AFC, the Bills and Ravens are no doubt featured. It's a rematch of last year's divisional playoff that Buffalo won 27-25, in a game that Baltimore very much let get away because of turnovers and self inflicted miscues. It's a match-up of MVPs (present and former) in Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson at quarterback. Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana have the latest.

The Bills trimmed the roster to 53 along with other NFL teams by Tuesday's deadline. Most of it was predictable with one fan favorite making the cut in receiver Tyrell Shavers. Speaking of fan favorites, reports surfaced on Wednesday that the Bills were set to bring back veteran safety Jordan Poyer. Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana have takes on those stories and more.

The Bills are ready to put a wrap on the preseason Saturday night at Tampa Bay. As very much expected, quarterback Josh Allen won't see action. The focus is on the bottom of the depth chart and battles for roster spots, and also figuring out what to do near the top of it with some key injuries to deal with and the Sunday Night Football opener against the Ravens fast approaching. Adam and Sal share takes.

The scoreboard read 38-0 Bears. There was obviously much more to it considering Sean McDermott sat out an overwhelming majority of his starters coming off what appeared to be a productive joint practice with the Bears on Friday. Having said that, the lack of fundamentals and execution was disturbing, and while it's just the preseason, some legitimate areas of concern were again highlighted. Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana join with takes.

Josh Allen won't play in the game but head coach Sean McDermott says the starters will for a quarter or so.

Bills top running back James Cook has made it clear he wants a new contract. The Bills have made it clear they're not willing to pay him the number that he's looking for. Cook reported to training camp as expected, but opted to sit out at the very least Sunday based on what he described as "business." Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana have the latest on that as well thoughts on Marv Levy's legendary impact as he celebrates his 100th birthday.
