The 1927 Buffalo Bisons season was their eighth in the league. The team failed to improve on their previous output of 4–4–2, losing five games and winning none. They finished twelfth (last) in the league.
The "Buffalo/Texas Rangers" experiment from the previous season was discontinued (the city's cold weather was the primary reason) and the team reverted to the Bisons name. Previous head coach Jim Kendrick left the team for the New York Giants and Dim Batterson was named the new head coach.
Buffalo returned three key players from the 1926 squad — end Neely Allison, halfback Benny Hobson, and tackle Bones Irvin. This proved to be an insufficient basis for a competitive squad however, as the team was shutout in four of its first five games. The 1.6 points per game average stands as a near-record for poor offensive output.
The Bisons suspended operations five games into the season and would not return until 1929.
