‘It was an up-and-down day for Allen, but the quarterback deserves credit for leading the Bills’ fourth quarter comeback.’

Josh Allen leads Buffalo Bills to 4th quarter comeback: 8 reasons to be encouraged, 4 reasons to worry
‘When Buffalo needed Allen, the quarterback came up big.’
NFL Week 4 odds: Buffalo Bills open as home underdog to Patriots
‘The Bills and Patriots have quickly separated themselves from the rest of the AFC East, but oddsmakers do not view the Bills in the same light as New England. Opening lines for the Week 4 matchup have the Bills as seven point underdogs.’
Bills lucky to get out of home opener with win; late Gore touchdown wins it for Buffalo
‘“It just goes to show you in this league on any given Sunday that anybody can come out victorious,” said Bills’ defensive end Jerry Hughes in the locker room after the game. “You can’t play a half; you can’t play two or three quarters. It has to be four…I think it’s a great lesson that we have to understand – that coming into halftime up 14 doesn’t mean much.”’
Bills honor the late ‘Pancho Billa’ during pregame of win over Bengals; Buffalo Superfan was everything fan should be
‘This interaction represents everything the late Ezra Castro and his alter ego Pancho Billa stood for – happiness, excitement and a love for one’s team no matter how difficult your circumstances may be. For Ezra, those circumstances were as dire as one can imagine, yet it never cut into the incredible level of pride he had as a Bills fan.’
Defense plays well again for enigmatic Bills
‘Though the record couldn’t be any better through three games, something alarming so far is how the Bills are not pulling away from bad teams.’
Sullivan: Despite start, BIlls not exactly looking like contender
‘They had played shabbily with the lead against the Giants in Week 2. For the second straight week, they showed their age, looking like an immature team that wasn’t used to playing with a big lead, one that felt it could put things on cruise control against an inferior opponent.’
Buffalo Bills Week 3 Report Card: Frank Gore scores winning TD, Bills beat Bengals 21-17
‘Josh Allen has played good halves this season. He hasn’t put together a complete game so far in 2019. In the first half against the Bengals, he made some good plays and posted solid numbers. The second half was a different story. The interception that set up the Bengals’ first touchdown was a terrible decision. He made a similar throw in the preseason, acknowledged it was a major error and made it seem like he would phase that out of his game. As we saw Sunday, that wasn’t the case. He did lead the Bills down the field to get the win, but he needs to put together 60-minute performances to succeed against the better teams in this league.’
Josh Allen is turning the corner, all right, as Bills win again
‘On a 3rd-and-7 from Buffalo’s 43-yard line he rolled right, away from duress, and this time instead of firing to a safely open receiver, or just running out of bounds for a short gain or loss, or just throwing it away out of bounds, Allen chose to throw off-balance back inside the field of play, to wide receiver Cole Beasley. Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb.’

Bills lose the lead, come back and beat the Bengals, 21-17
‘With less than 5 minutes to go, the Bills offense woke up from their rough second half, marching 78 yards in 7 plays to retake the lead, headlined by Knox’s 49 yard catch and run and Allen escaping a sack to put the Bills inside the Cincinnati 10 yard line. Gore would finish off the drive with a 1 yard run to end the drive and give the lead back to the Bills, 21-17.’
Bills fans put through the wringer
‘Your dream scenario has now played out Bills fans. A 3-0 start with the New England Patriots coming to New Era Field next. It will make a a fun week around Western New York as we wonder whether or not the Bills can beat Tom Brady, in a game where he plays from start to finish, for just the third time in his greatest of all time career.’
Allen and Jones exposing issues in draft evaluation
‘While it is just a year and three weeks in for Josh Allen, and one game for New York Giants rookie QB Daniel Jones, the two heavily scrutinized signal-callers are showing the conclusions many organizations, draft media, and fans drew were too premature and close-ended for the timing of their careers.’
