‘”It’s hard to throw over the middle with him in there,” Alexander said. “He’s so long and rangy, and so you have to put a little bit extra air and that allows guys extra time to maybe get there, so it’s a bang-bang play, or get some interceptions and some tips and overthrows.”‘

‘Golden Wheels’ used to be Bills’ touchdown man
‘Duby — that’s his more prosaic nickname — was a raw talent with raw speed whose receiving skills were a work in progress. Through hard work, his hard hands turned into soft ones, catching hundreds of passes after practice, until he developed into an AFL All-Star. And in 1964, when the Bills won their first AFL championship, he had one of the greatest receiving seasons in pro football history.’
Bills prove they can go head-to-head with Patriots
‘The Bills are patsies no more. Previous years, they crumbled after the botched punt, instant shock, and 13-0 deficit. But it was Brady who looked more and more rattled as the game wore on and the Bills bullied their way back into it.’
First-quarter analysis: Defense leads path to playoffs but Bills are sloppy on offense

Buffalo Bills vs. Tennessee Titans: 6 things to know about Buffalo’s Week 5 opponent
‘The Titans defense has been terrific through four weeks. Tennessee has not allowed an opposing team to score more than 19 points against them this season. Their offensive play, however, has been inconsistent. In Week 1, Marcus Mariota threw for three touchdowns while Derrick Henry added a score on the ground in the Titans’ blowout win over the Browns. After that offensive outburst, Tennessee went quiet. The team scored 17 points in Week 2 versus the Colts and were held to seven points in Week 3 against the Jaguars. Tennessee rebounded with 24 points in Week 4 against the Falcons with Mariota throwing for three touchdowns in the win.’

Poll: 75 percent of voters in online poll believe in Josh Allen
‘Allen’s 60 percent completion and 903 passing yards through the first quarter of the season surely aren’t measly numbers by any means, but when you dig deeper and look at his efficiency, the 13/18 touchdown to interception ratio and 69.6 quarterback rating draw a bit of concern. Consistency is the key with Allen and thus far, he simply hasn’t had it. He has failed to provide the offense with the stability it needs from its quarterback and will have to continue to get better in several areas of his game; that is if he is able to get healthy.’

Why Tight End Dawson Knox Is An Undervalued Weapon On The Buffalo Bills
