Brian Daboll comes full circle to Buffalo
‘Without question, but I think the thing you learn in this business is you got to take one week at a time and one game at a time and do the very best you can do and things have to fall in line for you.’
Bills looking for snow shovelers ahead of Sunday’s game

Scouting Report – Week 14 – Bills vs. Jets
‘Get McCoy rolling early Much like the first meeting between the Bills and Jets, Buffalo has to get LeSean McCoy going early in the game. McCoy scored on his first carry in a blowout win at New York and had his only 100-yard rushing effort of the season. If the Bills can duplicate that success, it will provide valuable balance to Buffalo’s attack.’
Josh Allen and Sam Darnold: Evaluating the present and predicting the future
‘For me it’s as advertised. I think the thing we’ve seen recently with him, that’s helped the team out and given the kid a little bit of a platform is he’s kind of taken charge with his run game. Obviously, you always want the ability to extend plays and to make plays with your legs. The last couple of weeks what he has done running the football has been historic. He’s got to learn to win inside the pocket. That’s his biggest challenge. Then he can take advantage of his athletic ability outside the pocket when warranted.’
7 reasons why Lorenzo Alexander was named the Bills 2018 Walter Payton Man of the Year

Bills Today: Bowles: Josh Allen is a triple threat
‘“He’s shown all three phases, as far as being great throwing in the pocket, being great throwing on the run, and then running the football instead,” Bowles said. “He has kind of a triple threat deal going on right now, I think he’s run for over 200 yards the past two weeks. And he can throw the deep ball, he can throw the out cuts, he can make all the throws and he can throw well on the run. You’re seeing a lot of things he did in college.”’
Bills look ahead after parting ways with Kelvin Benjamin, Andre Holmes
‘“The important thing for us is that we continue to take swings, and that’s what we did; we stepped up to the plate and you take a swing,” McDermott said. “Some of those are going to work and some of those aren’t. The only way you can get a hit is if you take a swing. … Just as important for us, I believe, is when things are no longer right for us as a football team and where we are and the vision we’re trying to chase, that we move forward. That’s what we did. We wish Kelvin and Andre both the best and their families. We’re going to continue to make every decision that we feel is right in the best interest of this football team.”’
Vic Carucci: Josh Allen’s running not always a bad thing for him or Bills
‘Although there are times Allen’s 22-year-old eyes don’t serve him as well as those of a veteran passer, his runs also are a highly effective component of his game. And they should continue. Those 13 carries he had against the Jaguars for 99 yards? Keep it going. Those nine rushes he had against the Dolphins for 135 yards? All good.’
Bills Notebook: Jerry Hughes accused of history of ‘abusive language’ toward refs
‘”We fully expect the NFL’s review to clear Roy Ellison,” Scott Green wrote in a statement. “Video from last week’s game shows he was verbally threatened by a player who has a well-documented history of abusive language and inappropriate actions towards our officials. While we are disappointed that the NFL has yet to address that aspect of the incident, we look forward to working with the League during its review and will ensure that Roy’s rights are protected during this process.”‘
Hospital visit gives LeSean McCoy perspective on Bills’ struggles
‘“I think as people, especially as athletes, we get so wrapped up in our day-to-day lives as far as, ‘I fumbled the ball … I could have caught a pass … I lost the game,’ ” the Buffalo Bills’ running back said. “But this is real life. The battles that we fight on the field — don’t get me wrong, they’re very important — but I think the real battles are some of these kids right here fighting for their lives.”’
Bills’ Taron Johnson undergoes shoulder surgery, out for season
‘If the Bills had a viable chance to make the playoffs, they may not have sent Johnson for the surgery. Last week in Miami he got dinged once again and had to be attended to, but he still played 30 of Buffalo’s 55 defensive snaps.’
Sean McDermott on Kelvin Benjamin: ‘It obviously didn’t work’
‘“Let me start by saying (that) I appreciate, just like I do every player, what they did,” McDermott said, also referencing wide receiver Andre Holmes who joined Benjamin on the waiver wire. “Those are hard decisions to make because those are human decisions. The important thing for us is that we continue to take swings, and that’s what we did; we stepped up to the plate and you take a swing. Some of those are going to work and some of those aren’t. The only way you can get a hit is if you take a swing.”’
Josh Allen, Zay Jones and 5 Bills on Kelvin Benjamin’s release
‘”You never know when it can be your time. It’s the NFL and it’s for the best of the best. It’s a performance-based league, I guess, and I’m looking forward to the guys that we got right now and we’re going to be working extremely hard to build on these last four weeks.”‘
