Bills depth chart 2020: Projected Week 1 starters heading into training camp
‘At linebacker, Buffalo exudes athleticism and coverage brilliance with the towering Tremaine Edmunds and the springy, explosive Matt Milano. The secondary is led by All-Pro cornerback Tre’Davious White and smart, interchangeable safeties Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde. The No. 2 cornerback spot remains a question mark with Josh Norman, Levi Wallace, and E.J. Gaines the trio set to compete for that gig.’
Assemblyman calls for Bills to allow season ticket holders to skip 2020 season without penalty
‘“Bills fans are the most passionate and dedicated in the country, and we all look forward to the return of NFL games this fall,” said Ryan. “While we don’t yet know what the NFL season will look like, we do know that COVID-19 related restrictions will be in place to protect the health and safety of fans. In the event that fans are allowed to return to New Era Field, it is reasonable and responsible for the Buffalo Bills to allow season ticket holders to skip this season and return to their seats in 2021 after more progress has been made against the virus.”’
Buffalo Bills fan puts aside rivalry and gives in-need New England Patriots fan his kidney
‘“There’s one Patriots fan out there that’s got a Bills’ fan inside of her,” Burke joked. “You know, she may be a Patriots’ fan on the outside, but she’s a Bills’ fan on the inside.”’
Kim Pegula places high value on ‘authenticity’ in coach hires
‘“It’s the authenticity of who you are, if you’re presenting something and we feel like it’s really you presenting and not some kind of flashy screen that your agent put together … if it’s real stories from you,” Pegula said. “Leadership is about being authentic of who you are. We may not always agree on everything or the points of how one leads is better than another. But I think we all want to have a real, authentic relationship with each other, and I think that speaks volumes.”’

‘“My mom ran an at-home day care in our home my whole life before and after school,” Phillips said. “Through the 16 years she did that, we probably had a dozen kids that had some type of Down’s syndrome or autism that came through the house. These are kids I hung out with every day, shared my toys with. So I realize these are amazing people, and I can learn things from them, and we can have great friendships.”’
PFF ranks 2020 NFL rosters | Buffalo Bills skyrocket from bottom-5 2019 ranking
‘It’s not a popular sentiment in the city of Buffalo, but this is a very good roster that probably will be limited by shaky quarterback play. Even if you want to discount the PFF grades or advanced accuracy metrics, Allen finished the 2019 season with a 58.8% completion percentage that was lower than each of the 32 quarterbacks with the most regular-season attempts. He had bottom-10 marks in yards per attempt and passer rating as well.’
Will fans be able to attend Buffalo Bills games in 2020?
‘The Buffalo News reported last week that the Bills were internally preparing for scenarios with 15%, 33% and 50% of stadium capacity. I believe that some fan contingent will be allowed in most stadiums but I also think the NFL would be smart to delay the start of the season if attendance isn’t possible in September. Caution is very important during this time.’

Which AFC East quarterback is set up to have the most success in 2020 and beyond?
‘”I think Josh Allen is the quarterback who’s in the best position,” said ESPN NFL analyst Dan Orlovsky. “The Bills are by far the favorite in my eyes in 2020. The Bills are by far the most complete team, the second-best coached team and just structural organization in that division in terms of help when it comes to GM and coach seeing things the same way is Buffalo. We’re talking about a top five defense in the NFL so then you’re not demanding too much of your quarterback. You don’t know need to score 30 every game. You have a top 10 receiver in Stefon Diggs and that’s a big deal.”‘
Bills’ Leslie Frazier: Draft-pick incentives to hire black coaches ‘shouldn’t happen’
‘”But I hope we get to a point where people just do the right thing, as far as hiring the best candidate and not look at the color of that person’s skin. It would be great if you could understand what the criteria is. Sometimes, when you interview for these jobs, nobody will really tell you what the criteria is, what they’re looking for. So, I hope it doesn’t come down to where you’ve got to incentivize people to hire minorities. It shouldn’t happen.”‘
Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass brings power and his ‘golden stroke’ to Buffalo
‘“(Tyler’s) got tremendous talent (but) it’s an open competition. It’s not his job by any means,” Farwell said. “It’s Steve’s job. He has a history of good kicks in big games in the playoffs. He is still the guy, and it’s up to Tyler to beat him out.”’
Josh Allen 2020 outlook: Evaluating the Bills’ dual-threat passer and how he can take next step
