Bills HC Sean McDermott on second-year WR Keon Coleman, who was made a healthy scratch for being late to a team meeting late last week: "We addressed the situation, we're now moving forward and we'll take it one day at a time."
November 17, 2025 at 8:45 PM
Bills HC Sean McDermott said TE Dalton Kincaid, DT Phidarian Mathis, WR Mecole Hardman and WR Curtis Samuel will be listed as 'did not participate' for Monday's walkthrough.

The Bills passing offense looked the most explosive it's been in 2025 on Sunday.

It wasn't a coincidence that it came with Gabe Davis in the lineup.

My thoughts on the Bills WRs, what's next for them & why they can't put the toothpaste back in the tube: www.nytimes.com/athletic/681...

With the Bills up 44-32, we're on Scorigami watch.
November 16, 2025 at 9:02 PM
The Bills only play batshit games against NFC South teams. Those are the rules.
November 16, 2025 at 8:48 PM
The Bills removed new WR Mecole Hardman from the kickoff return unit after his fumbled punt.
November 16, 2025 at 8:09 PM
On that scramble drill, Gabe Davis also wiggled free and was open over the middle of the field. It's one of his best assets. If Shavers didn't get behind the defense, there was a clear first down outlet there for Josh Allen.

Regardless, the Bills passing offense is the most alive it's felt all year
November 16, 2025 at 6:54 PM
One snap of TE Keleki Latu on the field, one touchdown for the Bills. Coincidence?
November 16, 2025 at 6:51 PM
It wasn't perfect, and Allen got bailed out of another mistake throw, but the Bills offense felt a bit more lively on that touchdown drive. Far better than they were at any point against the Dolphins.
November 16, 2025 at 6:27 PM
Just a horrendous decision by Josh Allen to two-hand pitch that ball. Interception, and with TB on the doorstep of a TD.
November 16, 2025 at 6:14 PM
Officially, Bills WR Gabe Davis is in the starting lineup in his first game back with the team.
November 16, 2025 at 6:12 PM
New Bills WR Mecole Hardman is in the game as the punt returner.
November 16, 2025 at 6:10 PM
Bills rookie DT T.J. Sanders just entered the game at left defensive end.
November 16, 2025 at 6:06 PM
No club on Joey Bosa's wrist today.
November 16, 2025 at 6:03 PM
Former Bills practice squad and current Buccaneers OL Dan Feeney looks like he'll be getting the start at right guard today. He started there last week as well. The Buccaneers signed Feeney off of the Bills practice squad earlier this season.

Revenge game (?) loading.
November 16, 2025 at 5:33 PM
Bills DE Joey Bosa is currently gloveless as he goes through warmups. He sported a club on his to protect his wrist last week. Odds are they'll do something between now and the game starting, but to be determined if he'll have the club once again.
November 16, 2025 at 5:32 PM
Bills WR Gabe Davis lined up with the starters on the first rep of 11-on-11s in warmups.
November 16, 2025 at 5:29 PM
There's 10, thanks everyone for a great round of #AskJoeB! Bills vs. Buccaneers in an hour.

Until then!

10. I think anything is on the table at this point. The is hoping that it doesn't go that way, but the final 8 games of this season and the playoffs will be critical to determining the future of Coleman with the Bills.
November 16, 2025 at 5:03 PM
9. Davis, due to having four-plus years of experience with Josh Allen compared to three days for Hardman.
November 16, 2025 at 5:00 PM
8. Valid Q, though I would doubt that's the case at this point. They are likely hoping this wake-up call will help the situation. I'm still expecting him to be in the lineup at some point, possibly Thursday, and maybe even get some more snaps in the slot now with the presence of Gabe Davis.
November 16, 2025 at 4:57 PM
7. He's working back from a hamstring injury that he dealt with earlier in the season, so with another game on Thursday, I'm guessing they are playing it safe to make sure he's all the way healthy rather than subjecting him to two games in five days.
November 16, 2025 at 4:54 PM
6. Right now, the only certainty of the offseason is that WR will be a huge priority. OL could be as well, though they have a few players they like in-house (Van Pran-Granger, Anderson, Grable) who could fill in. DE & LB still will have some consideration w/ Bosa, Epenesa, Milano & Thompson all FAs
November 16, 2025 at 4:52 PM
5. I'm guessing he'll get a handful of snaps on offense, but his primary function today will be as the kickoff and punt returner. They have lacked explosiveness on both of those units this season.
