Bills did NOT send survey to fans about attendance

‘According to a team spokesperson, the survey was sent by the NFL, which sends a similar questionnaire to season ticket holders for all organizations across the league every year, and the survey was not specific to the Bills.’

Jefferson could be Bills “joker” on defense

‘“Always been kinda a tweener,” Jefferson said. “I’m big, but not super big. At the time (high school), I didn’t realize it would help me at this point. It was one of those things… I just mastered it.”’

Christian Wade has no regrets, only confidence

‘”I feel as though I have the potential to make the team,” Wade said on a Zoom with reporters. “Obviously I’ve only been playing the game a year so there are obviously things I need to learn. But in terms of my base knowledge now, compared to last year, I have a good base and can work from that moving forward. I feel like I can make the team just like everyone else.”‘

Do you think the Bills have too many weapons on offense?

‘”Guys gotta be patient and wait their turn to make a play. That’ll be one of the hardest things because guys are competitors. Guys that have the ball in their hands always want the ball in their hands,” grinned Beasley.’

‘”It’s really just the confidence factor,” Beasley explained. “When you see a guy with a lot of confidence in himself, that kind of drifts to everyone else too as well. It’s infectious and anytime you have a guy like that it spreads throughout the team. Everybody’s playing confident because the guy who they’re looking at to lead us is playing confident. That makes a dangerous team.”‘

First day of pads another big step in Harrison Phillips’ comeback

‘“It honestly has been emotionally, I mean, one of the hardest things I’ve had to do, and maybe that means I’ve had a sheltered life or something,” Phillips said. “But when you care about something this much and have it taken away from you — and again, it’s so much bigger that myself. Last year, we had such an amazing team and not being able to contribute. Who’s to say, we might not have won another game or two, if I was able to play. I’m not saying I’m a giant playmaker or anything like that, I’m just saying you think those things into existence sometimes.”’

Bills Notebook: Frank Gore weighs in on his lone season in Buffalo

‘“I feel if they would have let me play, I would have had over 1,000 (yards). I jumped out there. I was having a great year,” Gore told New York reporters after practice with the Jets, who signed him to a one-year contract this offseason. “They had Singletary, who’s … very talented and going to do great things in this league. As long as he keeps working, I know he will. I understand they drafted him, so they had to get him ready. But I felt the games I did play, I did some great things.”’

Bills camp observations: Josh Allen ends with big throw to John Brown

‘Because training camp is closed to fans throughout the NFL, the league and players union agreed to new rules that limit reporting by media that normally takes place each summer. Personnel groupings, who’s playing with the first or second units, specific formations and situational alignments are not allowed to be reported daily by media. General observations about noteworthy plays still are allowed.’

A long time coming, but Bills finally conducted an actual training camp practice

‘While contact was minimal as it often is even in non-COVID-19 21st century NFL times, there was bumping and pushing and shoving, and it looked like football. Up to this point all they had been allowed to do was strength and conditioning work, and then walk-through style drills without pads, essentially touch football as they installed their systems and dug into the playbooks, mainly from the mental side.’
