Bills GM ‘disappointed’ Brady left AFC East: ‘We wanted to beat him’
‘“Bill Belichick’s still there, and I meant it when I said it: this guy’s the greatest coach of all time, and they’re still going to be a very good team,” he said. “They’re gonna be well-coached, they’re gonna play disciplined football, they always have very smart players. They don’t beat themselves.”’

Campbell: Fighting COVID-19 is a surreal, lonely experience
‘”Day 5 was when I started to get, what people are referring to as that dry cough. It’s really just kind of this nuisance cough. It’s not like I’m coughing up or anything like that, it’s like an unproductive cough. Truthfully, right around Day 7 or 8 I should have gone back to the hospital, but I kept thinking that I’ll turn the corner and I didn’t. By Day 12, I was really laboring to breathe. I could breathe in and out, my lungs were still working, but the difference was that I felt like I couldn’t get relief, I couldn’t get oxygen. That was at the point where I [realized] I couldn’t play with this, you can’t tough this thing out.”‘
Do not be afraid of Cam Newton
‘Newton makes total sense for the Bills, in that they have a Super Bowl caliber roster with a quarterback that we’re still not completely sure about. Allen should improve, but he certainly doesn’t have to. If half a season goes by and Allen is having a season similar to that of Trubisky in 2019, would you rather have a Newton to turn to and save the season, or let the year go to waste because you were afraid to have a Plan B?’
Stephen Hauschka training for season, excited about adding Stefon Diggs
‘“As a fan of the Bills I’m super excited because that’s just more excitment for me on the football field. I love going out there and the more plays I get involved in, the more exciting the games are for me.

Stephen and Lindsey Hauschka team up with The Grange to donate 500 meals to WNY hospitals
‘“It sort of just dawned on me in a way to help the hospitals in Buffalo, and The Grange is a small business and I know they had started this awesome takeout for people, but of course it’s hard on small businesses right now so I thought maybe we could work with them and we could send some meals to the doctors and nurses and medical staff at a couple different hospitals in Buffalo and partner with The Grange,” Lindsey Hauschka said. “Caryn and Brad were amazing and immediately jumped on board and were super generous and everything. Just working with the Bills, figuring out what the best hospitals for these meals to go to, it was seamless in the end. We were able to send 500 meals in the end to medical staff at ECMC and Buffalo General.”’

NFL draft preview: Jeffrey Okudah, C.J. Henderson top deep class of cornerbacks
‘For now, Norman could end up beating out Levi Wallace for the starting job opposite Tre’Davious White, or at least have significant rotational time with Gaines factoring into the mix. A rookie selected in rounds two or three could be put in place as a potential fixture for several years.’
How lack of offseason program could impact Josh Allen’s development
‘Allen’s focus must continue to be on passing efficiency, becoming a 62% completion percentage passer. He must also continue to refine his ability to throw with touch and trajectory. This can only be accomplished through a “sagittal” philosophy, whereby he throws with a higher elbow and a shorter stride. Whether he is throwing into nets or to wide receivers, it is possible to improve technique, accuracy, footwork and ball handling with a disciplined regimen with or without active route runners.’
