Two Bills Drive

Buffalo Bills News and Discussion

Bills use explosive first half, Giants ineptitude to improve to 2-0; Allen shines in second-straight victory at MetLife

‘Time, after time Allen found wide open receivers across the middle which were left by the Giants’ defensive backs who seemed confused and out of sync on almost every play for about a 20 minute stretch in the middle of the first half. Rookie DeAndre Baker had an extremely tough day against Bills’ receivers, as did veteran cornerback Janoris Jenkins and almost every other Giants’ DB, which allowed Allen to hit seven different receivers throughout the first two quarters.’

Sullivan: Allen becoming more star than starter

‘For the first time in many years, the Bills appear to have a legitimate NFL passing game, one that can rise up in difficult circumstances and win games that seem lost — as well as games they’re expected to win.’

Buffalo Bills Week 2 Report Card: Josh Allen leads Bills to 28-14 win over Giants

‘Much like last week, it was a story of two halves for Josh Allen. He was excellent in the first half, but had a shaky third quarter. He had some passes tipped in the fourth that were nearly intercepted. He bounced back and led the Bills on a 13-play, 75-yard drive in the fourth quarter that resulted in a touchdown. He’s shown great improvement since last year, but he needs to play more complete games. You’re not going to win games against the Patriots by having one great half.’

Josh Allen gets back at Giants in best way possible

‘“Everybody has their own opinion and I know he didn’t mean anything [by it],” the second-year signal-caller said after leading the Bills to their second win at MetLife Stadium in a week, running for a touchdown and throwing for another in a 28-14 win over the Giants. “All I want to do is focus on what the Bills are doing.”’

Giants Q&A: Bills quarterback Josh Allen does his talking on the field

‘Allen did most of his talking — and had most of his fun — on the field, completing 19 of 30 passes for 253 yards and a touchdown (on a short shovel pass that was more like a run). Allen also scored the Bills’ first touchdown on a 6-yard run and had seven carries for 21 rushing yards.’

Bills’ Allen after beating Jets, Giants: 1 NY team

‘”Um, [there’s] one New York team,” he said, pointing and winking at the reporter. “I’m just kidding. But I care about what the Bills are doing, how our teammates respond, how I play. To have a ‘C’ on my chest and to go out there and put everything on the line for those guys is what I’m striving to do.”‘
