Bucky Gleason: Playoffs remain up for grabs, but Bills have bumpy road ahead
‘Fifteen teams in the AFC have better records or remain within two wins of Buffalo, which means only the lowly Browns do not.

Rex Ryan takes a shot at ‘Mr. Big Stuff’ Marcell Dareus
‘So, in explaining why the Jaguars wanted Dareus, Ryan noted that “statistically, they’re dead-last in run defense. So Marcell Dareus comes in, he’s this big body that can plug the run.

Cam Newton on losing Kelvin Benjamin to Buffalo Bills: ‘Titanic still has to go’

‘But according to Michael Caputo, a Buffalo public relations consultant who would go on to work on Trump’s presidential campaign, Trump himself came up with the idea for the group at a Trump Tower meeting in early 2014 as a way to tap into widespread fan anxiety at the time over a potential Bills move to Canada.
Rex Ryan rips Marcell Dareus: “Only thing I saw him stuff were his pockets.”
‘“He’s going to Jacksonville. Why do they need him there? They’re one of the best defenses in the league? Statistically they’re dead last in run defense. So Marcell Dareus comes in, this big body that can can plug the run.

Top 10 things we’ve learned about the Bills at midseason

The recent addition of Deonte Thompson has provided a speed threat, and the trade for Kelvin Benjamin provides a number one receiving target that did not previously exist.’
Bills Today: McDermott appears on multiple midseason award lists
‘Really tough call between this [Sean McDermott] and Sean McVay for me, but the biggest difference I think is the Bills winning in the Patriots division and doing it with a lot less talent. Turning this roster into chicken salad after trading away Sammy Watkins and Ronald Darby (and then later dealing Marcell Dareus) is crazy impressive. One more win and they beat their projected Vegas total of 6.5.’
