NFL Week 17 QB Rankings: Bills need more consistency from Josh Allen to make a deep playoff run

‘What makes Allen such a tantalizing player is that he’s capable of making the kind of jaw-dropping plays we associate with someone like Patrick Mahomes. What makes Allen such a frustrating player is that in between those jaw-dropping plays, which he can make as both a passer and a runner, he makes the kind of mistakes that we associate with someone like, say, Mitchell Trubisky.’

Nsekhe returns to practice for Bills

‘However, offensive tackle Ty Neske, who hasn’t practiced or played in a game since injuring his ankle week 11 in Miami, and was also listed as “DNP” Wednesday, was practicing and lining up at both left and right tackle during individual positional work. That’s very encouraging news for Nsekhe’s possible availability for the playoffs and might even be an indication he is going to play Sunday.’

‘“It felt good to get out there and get back into a rhythm. You know, it’s like riding a bike once you get out there,” Nskehe said. “There’s a chance, there’s a chance I play. You know, anytime I can get out there and play on Sunday, I want to get out there. That’s what I get paid to do. I get paid to play. So, I want to play.”’

‘The New York run defense looks a lot different than it did at the start of the season, but it’s still ranked second in the league giving up fewer than 88 yards on the ground per game. Singletary is different too as he’s now the lead back and has been among the league leaders in yards per carry average all season.’

Bills Today | Why Rich Gannon says the Bills can go on the road and win a playoff game

‘“I really like the Bills,” Gannon said. “I like the way they are coached. Sean McDermott has done a great job; they’ve got two very good coordinators. I think this is a mentally tough football team. They failed to get it done this past weekend in New England, they had plenty of opportunities. But keep in mind, this is a team that has been good on the road this year, they are 6-2.”’

McDermott will play his starters a bit versus Jets

‘“I’ve been through this … some 24, 25 playoff games,” McDermott said. “I’ve been a part of resting guys before. I’ve watched other teams having played their guys. You’re always going to get second-guessed. Some people are going to be with you, some are going to be, ‘Hey, you should be doing this versus what (you’re) doing, or I agree with what they’re doing.’ Certainly, that’s what happens, but we have to do what we feel that’s best for this team.”’

Bills are in far better shape entering 2020 than going into 2010

‘“We have to earn the right to win in this league, and I have learned that,” McDermott said. “So I just believe in the process. We are going to win going through the process. . . . I have been a part of building a defense from the ground up brick by brick, step by step, and I had help in that process as well. Within that, I have gone to two Super Bowls. I know what that looks like, smells like and taste likes. So I feel extremely confident with my ability to lead this franchise moving forward.”’
