Grading the Bills: Defensive line depth gave Giants fits
‘What stood out most was the quality contributions from the backups. Shaq Lawson again played with force.’
Devin Singletary’s hamstring injury still being evaluated
‘His status will be monitored throughout the week, but if he can’t go, T.J. Yeldon will have a bigger role on offense in the home opener Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals than he has in the first two weeks. Yeldon has taken just seven offensive snaps combined in wins over the Jets and Giants to start the season.’
Double wow: Bills get another huge TV rating for Sunday’s win
‘Buffalo’s 28-14 win over the New York Giants led by the Bills quarterback had a 36.4 rating on WIVB-TV, the local CBS affiliate.’
Bills’ running back Singletary listed as ‘day to day’ with leg injury
‘“We’re still gathering information on Devin, so right now he’s day to day,’’ McDermott said during his Monday news conference. “It’s day to day more so for some question marks in terms of the evaluation. We still don’t know definitely at this point what’s going on there.’’’
Buffalo Bills still ‘gathering information’ on Devin Singletary’s hamstring injury
‘“T.J. has done a nice job to this point. He’s embraced his role as well,” McDermott said. “He hasn’t gotten as many of the touches or lined up in the backup quite as much as the other two have to this point. But really appreciate the way that he’s just gritted his teeth and gone to work everyday, all the way back from training camp up until now. Whatever his role is this week, I expect he’ll do the same and be mentally tough and give us all he’s got.”’
Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills expected to play every top QB from 2018 draft class
‘Allen, the No. 7 pick in the 2018 draft, is expected to take on the two quarterbacks selected before him in the draft and the three selected after him. This, of course, came to fruition today when the Pittsburgh Steelers announced that Ben Roethlisberger would be out for the year with an elbow injury.’
Bills legend Jim Kelly and Josh Allen had same ‘Only team in NY’ quote 33 years apart
‘All laughing aside, the gestures of both Kelly and Allen, two adopted sons of Western New York that have no hometown connection to the 716, endeared themselves to diehard Buffalo sports fans with their words and actions.’
Allen Credited For Not Forcing Throws In Bills’ Latest Win
‘”He’s understanding the game a little better within the game, and what he can and can’t do,” McDermott said Monday, a day after the Bills improved to 2-0. “I think that in and of itself is a step.”‘
Bills execute simple plan to beat Giants: Make Eli Manning throw
‘“Once you make a team one dimensional in this league, not a lot of teams can operate like that,” Hyde said. “We were able to get up on them a little bit today. You saw last week that the Cowboys got up on them and the defenses were able to be a little more successful.”’
QB Josh Allen Takes Another Big Step As Buffalo Bills Go 2-0
‘New Era Field is going to be wild as the Bills return next week to host the winless Cincinnati Bengals in their home opener. And the Bills have positioned themselves to have some good momentum going into their big test in Week 4 at home against the New England Patriots.’
Hyde on Josh Allen: “He’s a kid, just out ther having fun”
‘”We like to hang out with each other. Outside of football we laugh, we joke around, we have fun. Make sure our wives are hanging out. That’s what Sean McDermott has brought to Buffalo.”‘
That was, wait for it, kind of easy
‘That is not how I expected an offense quarterbacked by Josh Allen to get their points. Through these two games Allen has completed 64% of his passes. Yes, there have been some big gains through the air, but mostly, the passing game has been efficient and relatively short. No lightning strike plays to offset the off target passes, mainly because there have been fewer off target throws than there were last season.’
Quick Hits: Bills aim to stay grounded despite fast start
‘The pre-snap penalties were of particular concern to McDermott after Sunday’s game. Seven of Buffalo’s nine penalties in the game came before the play against the Giants.’
Eric Wood | How downfield blocking and creative playcalling opened up the Bills offense this week
‘The thing I’m most impressed by on the longer runs is they’ve been able to hit with those pullers, especially with Devin Singletary in the backfield. Singletary does a great job of setting up the offensive line because it’s not that easy to pull in space on guys that are much faster than you. You need the running back to be patient, to put the defender right on you and then break off of you. As a rookie, he’s just phenomenal at it. You have to tip your hat to Singletary and Gore. Singletary has been attached to Gore’s hip and you know he is helping him in these types of situations.’
