‘”Congratulations on winning the job. Your offensive line stinks and you get to play the Ravens, the Chargers, the Vikings and the Packers,” Jeremiah said. “(Peterman has) played great in the preseason – I don’t want to get that lost – (but) it’s the preseason. When you look at their offensive line, it’s not good up front. I don’t know how they’re going to be able to block these teams.”‘

Why Brian Daboll’s expertise inspires confidence in the Bills offense
‘“My coaching style, I’m demanding,” said Daboll. “I expect the players to know what to do. It’s our job to teach them how to do it. Players don’t really care how much you know until they know how much you care. I have a lot of appreciation for our players and how much they work and what they do on a daily basis in terms of what they do in practice and their daily preparation habits.”’

‘My only concern is the entire world seems to be on the Ravens, and we all know how that usually turns out.’
Bills Today: Where Nathan Peterman can have the biggest impact on Sunday
‘“We’ll give him the plays and if he sees something he needs to get to, that’s the job of a quarterback,” Daboll said. “We don’t have crystal balls, and sometimes there will be a play, probably, that won’t be the best versus that particular look. Nathan can do what he needs to do to put the offense in a good position.”’
Bills Today: Trent Murphy to be on rep count vs. Ravens
‘“I’m very encouraged by [Murphy’s] work,” Frazier said. “He’s been able to put [in] back to back days now for the first time in a long time. Really looking forward to tomorrow [and] seeing how he feels when he comes back to practice. Up to this point, [I’m] really encouraged by his work.”‘
Stephen Hauschka looms large as ever in Bills’ blueprint
‘“That’s the way this team is going to continue to play, and I love it,” Hauschka said as the Bills prepared for the season opener in Baltimore. “That’s what I’m here for. I’m not here to sit on the bench. I love being out there when the game’s on the line and showing everybody what I can do under pressure. It’s just kicking the ball. That’s the mental part of it that I love.”’
Davis: ‘Significant injury’ remains factor in battle for Bills’ starting cornerback spot
‘”Eventually, I’m going to play, that’s not the question,” Davis told The Buffalo News. “It’s just me getting to where I need to be after a very significant injury last year. That’s the main thing. The coaches have just been working with me and, obviously, want me to get back being the player I can be from a significant injury.”‘
Vic Carucci’s Take Five: Clock starts ticking on Nathan Peterman
‘If he struggles badly against the Ravens, whose defense is capable of making the most established quarterbacks struggle, his starting stint could very well last one game. If he’s great, he stays put. Sean McDermott knows enough not to slap any long-term label on Peterman’s status, especially with a treacherous stretch that includes five road trips in the first seven weeks.’
Orchard Parking: No new lots for Bills fans near New Era Field
‘The Town Board decided this week to prevent the expansion of the parking footprint or number of cars beyond what existed on May 3, 2017.

The decision should have little impact on Bills fans during the 2018 season, but for some of the lot owners and people who live near the stadium, the decision has been a game-changer.’
LeSean McCoy on playing in Buffalo now: ‘The fans are like family’
‘“My family and I were coming back from Jamaica and we had just landed and my phone is blowing up,” said Kreider, who has known McCoy since his high school playing days at Bishop McDevitt in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. “One of my good friends said the Eagles just moved LeSean to Buffalo. And I said, ‘What? Come on, you’re crazy.’ I got on the phone to (McCoy) and he was in a bad space, so I talked to Drew and he said, ‘It’s true, it’s going down, it’s for Kiko Alonso, a linebacker.’ And I said, ‘Who the hell is he? Kiko Alonso? For LeSean?’”’
