Life on the Bills’ practice squad means one thing: Daily job uncertainty

‘“Let’s just say I know that’s not what I want to do,” Pericak, a member of the Bills’ practice squad, said of his job as a corporate accountant with Janis Capital Group in Denver, a gig he accepted a couple years ago when no NFL general managers were buzzing his iPhone. “The real world sucks, and any amount of time you get to be in the NFL, that’s a dream come true. You have to take advantage of it every single day.”’

Can Bills stop Winston, Bucs?

‘“I’ve had limited opportunities to go against him and that’s a little bit unique being around the league as long as I have and as long as Ryan has,” McDermott said. “But (he’s) a good quarterback. We all saw what happened when Jameis went out … how he brought that team back. He’s a very capable player … his career speaks for itself, what he’s done over the years and how long he’s played.”’

Pollock: Fitzpatrick still has fond memories of days with Buffalo

‘“It really does (feel like coming home) … I don’t want to say it’s a weird feeling, but it doesn’t feel like that anywhere else I played,” he said. “Part of it is that I was in Buffalo for four years … longer than anywhere else. (It’s) a special team (for players), the guys appreciate it, the fan base is always going to get behind their team.’

Buffalo Bills attempted to sign New England Patriots’ CB off practice squad

‘Lewis probably made the right decision by staying with New England. If Buffalo had signed Lewis to their 53-man roster, he may have had trouble sticking on the roster long-term. The Bills are currently carrying just four cornerbacks on their roster. Lewis would have had to made an immediate impact on special teams to remain on the team’s roster.’

Four things to OBSERVE in today’s game against the Bucs

‘The Buffalo Bills were the top rushing offense the last two seasons. So far through six weeks, Buffalo ranks 17th in rushing yards per game, with 106.6. With the passing game only getting 165 yards per game, ranking 30th, the dependency on a McCoy grows.’

What we’ve learned from the Bucs’ and Bills’ playoff droughts

‘When you change your leadership as often as Tampa Bay and Buffalo have, it becomes nearly impossible to build around a singular vision. Each hire has a different philosophy. That hire will seek new players to execute that philosophy. When those players don’t perform as hoped, the cycle starts all over again.’

What they’re saying: Bills-Buccaneers game predictions

‘This isn’t a great matchup for the Buccaneers with Jameis Winston injured. The Bills don’t have the most potent of offenses, but the Tampa defense isn’t exactly terrific. If Winston cannot go or is less than 100 percent, the Buccaneers will struggle against a defense that forces you to execute flawlessly. The Bills offense should be able to produce enough points against that Bucs defense to win.’

Top 10 reasons to catch the Bills game this weekend

‘The Buckeyes are checking in this weekend, as The Ohio State University Marching Band will perform during both pregame and halftime. The impressive group will have some tricks up their sleeve as they welcome the Bills onto the field.’

Bills Today: Winston gives a ton of credit to Bills defense

‘“Very similar schematically. The Bills have a great team,” Winston said. “Their defense swarms the ball. They’re aggressive. They’re what I call head busters. They swarm around the ball and try to knock it out. That’s fun. It’s fun when you see a team that has that.”’

White still beating himself up over getting beat by Green

‘”It’s tough, because one of the main reasons why we’re 3-2, man, we lost the game because of the way I played,” White said Friday. “Yeah, it’s definitely tough, but then it’s obviously tougher when you have a bye week and you don’t get to play the next week to kind of bounce back. I’m always hard on myself, man, because I want to be the best in the league. I want to be in the Hall of Fame, so I can’t have letdowns like that if I want to be one of the best corners in the league. I take it upon my chin and I take it personally, I take it hard.”‘
