‘Phillip Gaines will start in place of Davis, who the Bills signed in free agency this past offseason. Davis has been on Buffalo’s first team defense throughout training camp and the preseason.’

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy ‘not likely’ to be charged in connection to robbery
‘In the lawsuit, which was filed on Aug. 10 in Fulton County (Georgia) court, Cordon says she was a victim of “multiple crimes and has suffered significant damages.” Cordon is seeking $133,000, which is the estimated total of stolen jewelry, “most of which was purchased by McCoy.”‘
Bills need to make a change at QB
‘For some reason, Bills head coach Sean McDermott decided to put Peterman out there as the starter for Week 1. Apparently he forgot what happened the last time Peterman started a game by choice. The first time McDermott turned to Peterman last season, he threw five interceptions before halftime against the Los Angeles Chargers. This time wasn’t any better, as the Bills trailed 40-0 before finally turning to Josh Allen.’
Buffalo Bills Week 1 Report Card: Josh Allen makes NFL debut, offense abysmal in 47-3 loss to Ravens
‘Offensive line: There aren’t enough poop emojis you can use to describe this unit’s play.’
Meiler: Bills still paying for Whaley and Ryan’s mistakes
‘The Bills have three players — John Miller, Shaq Lawson and Adolphus Washington — on the roster from the previous regime’s final three draft classes. None is an impact player.’
Nathan Peterman stinks it up as Bills creamed by Ravens
‘Bills GM Brandon Beane and head coach McDermott obviously had hoped that whatever improvements the team had been seeing from Peterman in spring and summer practices, as well as in some impressive preseason moments, were believable indications that Peterman was now far more capable than he’d shown in that awful first pro start last November.’
Report: McCoy unlikely to be charged in ex’s alleged home invasion, assault
‘The NFL conducts its own investigations into such allegations, and – as in the Ezekiel Elliott domestic-violence case resolved last season – says it reserves the right to reach conclusions different from, and irrespective of, those of law enforcement.’

Ravens get defensive in 47-3 rout of inept Bills
‘”We need to focus more on the entire team, not just the quarterback,” receiver Zay Jones said. “Offensive line, running backs, wide receivers, defense. We have to do better.”‘
Everything goes wrong for Bills in forgettable 2018 debut
‘While it appears the Ravens have made progress, the Bills have regressed. The offensive line couldn’t protect the quarterbacks, the running backs couldn’t find space to run and Zay Jones was the leading receiver with three catches for 26 yards.’
Flacco hits on all cylinders, Ravens crush Bills
‘Buffalo quarterback Nathan Peterman made his third career start and was under pressure for much of the game. Peterman was just 5 of 18 for 24 yards with a pair of interceptions and had 0.0 passer rating.’
Reports: Bills’ McCoy not expected to face charges
‘The 30-year-old running back and former University of Pittsburgh teammate Tamarcus Porter were sued by McCoy’s ex-girlfriend Delicia Cordon and her friend Elizabeth Donald. The latter two are suing the former pair in connection to a July 10 incident in which Cordon was beaten and robbed of jewelry in what Milton police called a “target” home invasion.’
Bills’ No. 7 pick Josh Allen replaces Nathan Peterman in blowout loss
‘It was the first time Buffalo failed to gain a first down in the first half of any game since at least 2001, while Buffalo’s 33 total offensive yards in the first half were the team’s fewest in any game since they gained 11 against the Miami Dolphins in a December 2003 game.’
Police have no incriminating evidence against LeSean McCoy
‘The NFL’s investigation of the incident, which occurred at a house owned by McCoy, remains under “active review,” according to a source who added that “it is not anywhere near actionable at this time.”‘
Bills torched by Ravens in season opener, 47-3
‘Allen ended his day by throwing 6-of-15 for 74 yards, but he was sacked three times for a loss of 16 yards.’
