Maiorana’s Memories: Bills lose to Patriots in the ‘Just give it to him’ game
‘“For 99.9 percent of Sunday’s game between the Bills and New England Patriots, it was obvious George Bailey has nothing on Doug Flutie. Then, as quickly as you can say Bedford Falls, the officials turned this real-life version of It’s a Wonderful Life into The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.”’
Josh Allen to win NFL MVP in 2020? Bettors going all in on Bills QB
‘While sports books aren’t expecting the kind of jump in production to put Allen into the mix for NFL MVP in 2020 — his 50/1 odds to win rank 15th behind superstars like Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes and Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson — bettors like the value and are putting their money on the 24-year-old Bills quarterback.’

How Bills players remain dedicated to training amid the pandemic
‘”There’s challenges for everyone, right,” McDermott said. “But what you do is you try and find ways to adjust and adapt and like we said before our theme this offseason has been ‘Find A Way.’ I think that it really fits the time and the situation and circumstances we’re in.”‘
Bills Today | Where Sean McDermott ranks on this list of top NFL head coaches
‘Bills head coach Sean McDermott made Clark’s list at No. 10. The group praised McDermott for his defensive acumen. Clark thinks McDermott is one of the best because of how quickly he changed things for the better in Buffalo.’
Proposed onside kick rule plays to strength of Bills’ defense – in theory
‘On Thursday, NFL owners will consider a rule change that would give teams an alternative to an onside kick attempt: The offense gets the ball on a fourth-and-15 situation from its own 25-yard line.’
Sean McDermott admits he’s a big Michael Jackson fan. But can he moonwalk?
‘“For me, particularly in the season, I’ll be up pretty early, 3:30, 4 o’clock,” he said. “I don’t like the day to get a leg up on me, I like to have a leg up on the day. In particular because it at least gives me light at the end of the tunnel so I can get home to see my family or at least get home and kiss them before they go to bed, check up on their day because my kids are getting older now.’
7 burning questions about Buffalo Bills in 2020
‘But he has to make more plays through the air and play with more consistency as a passer. He has to take care of the football better, too. Only two quarterbacks in the NFL had more fumbles than Allen in 2019: Philadelphia’s Carson Wentz (16) and New York Giants QB Daniel Jones (18).’
Bills still learning ‘proper Zoom etiquette,’ coach Sean McDermott says
‘“There’s always someone who’s got a screaming child in the background or they’re shuffling around and they left their talk button open,” McDermott told Wood. “It’s kind of like family dinner etiquette or proper table etiquette. It’s like proper Zoom etiquette.”‘
Eric Moulds ‘excited’ about the 2020 Buffalo Bills
‘”I’m excited about [the 2020 season]. Josh Allen has a lot of new toys to play with; and the thing for him is he’s going to have to manage those new toys. [Stefon] Diggs is going to want the football, [John] Brown, [Cole] Beasley, those guys are going to want the football. [Allen’s] going to have to be able to pick what guy isn’t being double-teamed, what guy is ‘the hot guy.’ I think as much as it is Josh Allen is going to have to manage that, it’s going to have to be the offensive coordinator that’s going to have to be the guy to get everybody involved.”‘
Bills Today | Who is Buffalo’s most underappreciated player?
‘Hyde drew some accolades (second-team All-Pro and a Pro Bowl appearance) in his first season with Buffalo back in 2017, but his body of work since joining the Bills suggests that we’re still underrating him when discussing the league’s best safeties. Over the last three seasons in Buffalo, Hyde ranks tied for fifth among all players at the safety position in overall grade (90.7). The move to free safety has pulled the best from Hyde after a solid, albeit unspectacular, start to his career with the Green Bay Packers in more of a slot/box role. He now serves as half of one of the better safety tandems in the NFL with teammate Jordan Poyer.’
Sean McDermott on possibility of playing games without fans: ‘We’ll adjust’
‘“Let’s face it, from the time we’re just 6, 7, 8, 9 years old and we first start playing football … it was always nice to have the sideline packed, right?” McDermott said. “And then you take that to junior high into high school to college … and now to the NFL. That’s a big part of the environment and the atmosphere, in particular in Buffalo, for us. So it’ll be a challenge, it’ll be different, but I also know this: I know that we’ll adjust.”’
How Buffalo Bills HC Sean McDermott plans to use rookie AJ Epenesa in ‘perfect world’
‘“AJ, I think in a perfect world…” McDermott said thinking about his response. “We still have Trent (Murphy), we’ve got Jerry (Hughes), we brought in Mario Addison at the end position, we’ve got some young ends still as well in Darryl Johnson and Mike Love… In a perfect world, he’ll play a backup position the first season potentially to move inside on rush situations. That’s asking a lot at this point because, learning as you know, learning two positions just in your first season and adjusting all the while to life in the NFL is a challenge so we’ll just focus on one position for now, but the more he can do the better for us and for his future.”’
