What they’re saying: Bills search for ways to jump start the offense

‘“The coaches know,” McCoy said. “They know when to get the ball to every player, so they know they. We’re just trying to figure it out. It’s hard to get the ball a lot. I mean, it’s hard considering that the defense comes in to play Buffalo offense, the main guy you want to stop is [LeSean] McCoy. You add that to the fact that we put ourselves in bad situations.”’

Bills Today: Where Beuerlein sees Josh Allen’s season going

‘“I still think Josh Allen is the cream of the crop as far as long-term potential of his class goes,” Beuerlein said. “I love the guy. But he is also going to be the guy that I think you are going to see more of these [bad games] than the others… I do think he’s going to get it figured out as the year goes along.”’

Vic Carucci: Bills can’t treat LeSean McCoy, running game as afterthoughts

‘Even when you factor in McCoy’s absence for one game because of a rib injury, there’s no denying that, through scheming and/or play-calling, the Bills have managed to make one of the league’s most talented running backs disappear. He has just 21 carries in three games. As a team, the Bills have 98 rushing attempts, putting them on pace for 392 for the season. That would be their lowest total since 2011, when they had 391 (which ranked 27th in the NFL).’

Bills sign CB Dontae Johnson, release DE Nate Orchard

‘Johnson, 26, is in his fifth NFL season. He spent the offseason with the Seattle Seahawks after four years with the San Francisco 49ers, who made him a fourth-round draft pick from North Carolina State in 2014.’

Upon further review: ‘We’ve got to do a better job’ is familiar refrain on Bills’ O-line

‘”I think one of the goals out of this year — No. 1 is to win games — but is also to develop these players, and Josh being a big part of that,” McDermott said. “We get to the end of the season, we can say that he is exponentially better because of the reps that he has gotten, and the only way to get reps is when you’re healthy, so we have to start every game plan with that in mind.’

State’s top development official in WNY hired by Pegula Sports and Entertainment

‘In Schoepflin’s new role, he will oversee development opportunities across all of Pegula Sports’ companies, which include the Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres, and manage the firm’s government relations – a role that likely will have him closely involved in any plans to build a new stadium for the Bills or to renovate New Era Field. The Pegulas also have branched out into development projects of their own, including the HarborCenter hotel and ice rink complex, as well as the ongoing renovation of a Perry Street building next to KeyBank Center that will house a Labatt USA test brewery.’

Buffalo Bills facing a Tennessee Titans team with ‘just win baby’ mentality

‘“I’m sure we’ll find some ways to figure that out,” Vrabel said of handling success. “I have some experience in my past with things like that, so we’ll try to point out the good, fix the bad and move on … to Buffalo. If you don’t play well in this league, I don’t care where you play, I don’t care who you play, you lose — that’s the NFL.”’

Buffalo officials: Currently no plans for new Bills stadium

‘Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz said Monday that many public comments on a recent convention center study suggested building a combination convention center and football stadium. He says the idea wouldn’t save any money, as it would likely mean the convention center would be virtually unusable during football season due to the needs of the NFL team.’
