Inside Cornelius Bennett’s exclusion from Bills Wall of Fame

Brandon Beane recalls worry about winning over ‘Bills Mafia’ in his first season

‘“To withstand 17 years of what this organization had to go through of no postseason success … literally first game we’re out there in 2017, it was sold out and packed,” Beane recalled Friday during an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show. “I’m thinking, ‘man, we’re going to have to earn some trust.’ I’m wondering what the fan support is going to be.”’

Bills RB Zack Moss puts NFL defenses on notice

‘Asked what Bills fans can expect, he said, “They’re getting a guy who loves the game of football for all the right reasons. A guy coming in who is willing to work each and every day and hopefully restore a lot of greatness back to this franchise.”‘

Siran Neal poised for breakout season with Buffalo Bills? Why Lorenzo Alexander thinks Neal could emerge in 2020

‘“Breakout player? I don’t know if they have that type of … Is anyone a sleeper, really? You know what? I will say this. I think Siran Neal going into his third season, I think he will be a guy who’s role will continue to grow. If not Siran, it will be Quan Johnson, Juquan. I think, because he’s a really smart player. Maybe his role will grow. It will be out of one of those two guys depending on how Covid-19 continues to impact the offseason. Will they have a training camp? Because as training camp and all that stuff reduces, coaches are going to go to guys that they know can do it and they don’t really have time to gain the trust of a coach if that makes sense. Right now, you have some guys that are probably a little bit more veteran guys that have been out there and I think coaches will go to them first, but if they have a little bit of a training camp I could see Siran Neal or Jaquan Johnson making a big step.”’

‘But when I see people picking them to go 12-4, my dubious side kicks in again. Twelve wins for any NFL team nowadays is a monumental achievement. The Bills could be better and struggle to win 10 games again.’

Buffalo only needs one thing to win the AFC East: Better play from Josh Allen

‘Buffalo has the framework of a contender, but they don’t have the quarterback play needed to win a championship yet. Josh Allen has been an exciting player to watch since the Bills took him with the seventh overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, but that doesn’t mean that he’s been an effective player.’

Allen working on ‘eliminating what the defense can’t be playing’

‘“Going back and watching the good, the bad, and the ugly from last season, and finding out, now that I’m talking with talk to Coach [Ken> Dorsey, and we’re able to do our virtual meetings, and just being able to watch some film and be like, ‘man, why are my eyes in this place? Why did I start to the left side when I knew it was cover-two and I should have started to the right?’ So, trying to find ways to eliminate those and eliminate what the defense can’t be playing, as opposed to trying to find out what they are playing.”’

Allen, rookies workout in Cali

‘“They know their stuff and the playbook, just getting on the field and getting some of the timing with them,” Allen said. “It’s going to payoff when it counts so I’m excited.”’
