On January 1, 2023, longtime Buffalo Bills radio play-by-play voice John Murphy suffered a stroke that sidelined him for the remainder of the season and forced him to miss all of the 2023 NFL season. Unfortunately, Murphy’s voice hasn’t returned to where he feels he can broadcast Bills games on the radio anymore, and today’s edition of the Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by remembering Murphy’s tenure on the mic as one of the best voices in Buffalo sportscasting history.

Photo by Vaughn Ridley/Getty Images After 19 years, Murphy’s days as the team’s play-by-play man may be over — but he’s ready for what’s next with the Buffalo Bills. After a radio career spanning more than three decades, John Murphy — Buffalo’s longtime play-by-play announcer — has announced his decision to step away from the masterful role he played in the booth the last 19 years.

Photo by Grant Halverson/Getty Images The thought experiment continues A common refrain among Bills Mafia during the 2023 NFL season and continuing now is the sentiment that Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott should be replaced. By whom? Many don’t seem to care — with the idea that Josh Allen is a generational talent who creates an “easy button” for a head coach. That got me thinking. What if we plugged Josh Allen into the underachieving Bills teams of the past? For these editions we do rapid fire of all the years that didn’t get a full article.

Photo by Lance King/Getty Images Will the Bills’ third-round pick make an immediate impact? All offseason and especially gaining traction ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft, defensive tackle was observed as a position of need for the Buffalo Bills.

That perceived need held even greater weight when considering the fact that Jones played just seven games in 2023. At times, the defensive line was forced ..read more

There are going to be ample opportunities for Buffalo’s rookies to step in and play from day one, and today’s edition of the Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by examining which of Buffalo’s rookies appe ..read more

Photo by Luke Hales/Getty Images This past week we asked for you to reflect and consider whether or not the Bills made out like winners or losers during the 2024 NFL Draft. When the dust had settled, the Bills had selected 10 rookies after making a pair of trades in Round 1 that took them out of the round altogether. It’s difficult assigning too significant a grade to rookie class and draft that’s just over a week old. It may also be too soon to suggest which teams made out like winners, and those who exited draft weekend losers. Some that struggled stand out more than others — such as the sit ..read more
