How we see it: Predicting the Bills’ 2018 season record

‘Everywhere you look on the Buffalo Bills’ roster, there are question marks. Can a rebuilt offensive line protect the quarterback? Can any receiver step up and be a legitimate second option behind Kelvin Benjamin? Can Nathan Peterman be a viable starting quarterback, and if not, is rookie Josh Allen ready? Defensively, who is going to provide a pass rush? Can Trent Murphy and Vontae Davis stay healthy and contribute? All of that amounts to a level of uncertainty that makes it impossible for me to predict a second straight playoff appearance.’

Star Lotulelei: A hard worker, a family man and a joker (no, really)

‘”It was just the way I was taught growing up,” Lotulelei said. “I’ve never been a real loud guy. Growing up, not only from my parents but from cousins, I’ve always learned not to be loud. You don’t have to be loud to be heard. And you don’t always have to be heard.”‘

Where are they now? Tracking Bills’ massive roster turnover since 2016

‘Just three players from the years 2010 to 2016 who were “drafted by Whaley” while he was GM or the right-hand man to Buddy Nix are still on the team. They are John Miller, Shaq Lawson and Adolphus Washington. Whaley held the GM title for the 2014 to 2016 drafts. Meanwhile, 27 of the 57 players who spent the most time on the 2016 roster are out of the NFL. Here’s the rundown…’.

Buffalo Bills going with Nathan Peterman over Josh Allen is right call

‘There’s no tried and true formula for how much a player should sit and watch, but many NFL quarterbacks have benefitted from not being forced into early action. And given the current state of the Bills offensive line and the struggles it appears they’ll have again at wide receiver, if Allen is your future, that means he cannot be your present. Looking as unready and panicked as he was in the Bills’ home pre-season loss to Cincinnati a couple of Sundays ago didn’t instill any confidence in him, either.’

Bills name their 2018 captains

‘The news was announced on the team’s scheduled off day. The Bills will be back on the field come Wednesday as they are just five days away from the beginning of the 2018 campaign against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.’

Peterman looking forward, not back as he preps for Ravens

‘”I think every time I’ve gotten on the field, it’s a new opportunity that you’re not tied to your past failures,” Peterman said on Monday. “I know some people might think that, because that’s all that they’ve seen. For me, it’s every time I step on the field, there’s a new opportunity no matter the good things or bad things that happen in the past. That’s how I’m approaching it.”‘

Reed between the lines: Peterman wins starting job

‘Every touchdown he tosses will get him one step closer to starting the next week and every interception he throws will get him 5 steps closer to the backup job because there’s no level playing field when the player looking over your shoulder has been tabbed as the future franchise quarterback.’

Bills workout QB Paxton Lynch

‘Lynch was drafted 26th overall by the Broncos in the 2016 draft but struggled to develop during his time in the Mile High City.’
