‘“I think everyone’s nature is to look at other people and their position, or other people’s statistics or playing time and stuff like that. But I’m just learning to trust the process, one of the big things that we do, as I grow.”’

‘“He picked it up a little bit today,” Bills coach Sean McDermott said. “We’ll see as we get into (Friday) morning and the rest of the week.”’

‘“When he takes off and becomes a runner, it’s just a major problem,” Patricia said on a conference call with Buffalo media Wednesday. “He’s just so hard to tackle. He’s got a great stiff arm. He’s turned some what-you-would-call a couple of routine scramble plays into just ginormous gains for the offense. That just becomes so difficult, especially when you have to cover all that speed downfield. It just creates so much space between the pass rush and the coverage. Josh Allen is doing a great job of taking advantage of that.”’

‘Picking the Bills to win after back-to-back losses doesn’t seem all that logical. These final three weeks continue to be about the steps, forward and back, Josh Allen takes in his rookie development. On the assumption Buffalo’s defense might be able to force Matthew Stafford into some blunders, this feels like an opportunity for Allen to do just enough to get the Bills to a W. Bills 20-17.’

‘The Bills are winning the stats – 136 yards per game more than their opponents over the course of the second half of the season, or 40 yards better than Dallas, which is second in that category. The Bills have out-statted four of their last five foes, despite going 2-3 in those five. While hopes of a winning season are out the window, the numbers make Buffalo an intriguing option for bettors.’

‘Along the way, the player teammates nicknamed “Squatty Body” because of his physique, described the good fortune he had when he had to give up his first sports love – baseball – to play football and the greater fortune to meet his wife at Oklahoma State, who was “from all places, Buffalo.”’

‘”Those who have to wait in jail because they cannot afford bail often end up losing their jobs, can fall behind on their bills or may even have their property repossessed,” Thomas said.’;
