‘Wallace is smart, assignment sound and tough in run support. He does not possess high-end speed. He’s a good fit for the Bills’ zone-heavy defensive scheme. But the Bills are not going to ask him to play a lot of press coverage against speed receivers, something they’re willing to ask Tre’Davious White to do on the other side of the defense.’

Jim Kubiak: Josh Allen keeps getting better, with best Bills throw yet
‘The most impressive aspect of Allen’s execution was his touch and his ability to play above the rim, completing deep crosses down the field versus the man-principled defense of the Dolphins. Allen’s ability to complete these touch passes across the field was the key to Buffalo’s success and undoubtedly will be an important factor against the blitz going forward. He did a masterful job of being decisive and taking everything the defense was giving him.’
Voice of the Fan: The Josh Allen Experiment/Experience is finally here so enjoy it
‘It seems to me that there have been myriad of reasons that Allen has excelled in the first two games of the 2020 season: 18 of them, in fact. They are as follows: Allen’s arm and talent; Diggs; Allen’s character and personality; the OL and protection; Allen’s progress and coachability; Brian Daboll; Allen’s leadership and moxie; WRs Brown, Beasley and Davis; Allen’s competitiveness; Ken Dorsey… Oh, and Josh Allen.’
Bills ‘finally found next Jim Kelly and Thurman Thomas’ (Week 3 power rankings)
‘Now sitting at 2-0, the Bills find themselves climbing in most NFL power rankings. Here’s a look at where they sit entering Week 3.’
How good is Josh Allen? Breaking down the Bills quarterback after impressive 2-0 start
‘Let’s move past stats for a minute — Allen has looked completely comfortable operating Brian Daboll’s offense, except for a few antsy scampers out of the pocket when he could’ve stayed in and surveyed longer. The rhythm, timing, and seemingly cerebral connections with Stefon Diggs, John Brown, and Cole Beasley have been exquisite. Allen has repeatedly shown he wants to and can be a dangerous pocket passer. Given his excellence eluding oncoming defenders en route to big gains with his legs, Allen’s willingness to keep his eyes up and deliver in-stride strikes is a scary proposition for opposing defenses.’
Bills release tight end Jason Croom from practice squad
‘With Croom’s release, just one player that caught passes from Allen in his rookie year remains on the team. That player is wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie.’

‘Allen is off to a flying start, albeit, against two of the weaker opponents on the schedule.’

‘Quarterback Josh Allen is leading the league in passing yards with 729 yards so far on the season and wide receiver Stefon Diggs is leading the league in receiving yards with 239 yards so far on the season.’
Bills on film: Lots to like in Miami
‘Stefon Diggs earns plenty of love for his ability to gain separation. In this game, I liked his ability to make plays at the catch point. The second quarter throw when he skied over two defenders for an incredible catch was a good example. It wasn’t a well thrown Allen ball. Diggs was running to the sideline and needed a touch throw over his head. Instead, Allen lasered it a bit. Diggs was able to stop, turn around and get up to pick the ball over two other sets of hands. The better play was the 21 yarder near the sideline in the fourth quarter after the Bills had taken the lead. Noah Igbinoghene is in decent position underneath Diggs. You wonder if Allen should even be trying this pass, considering the situation. The throw was phenomenal, but Diggs made it complete by just slightly working back to the ball to get his body in front of Igbinoghene. That’s how you get to be a number one receiver in the NFL.’

‘Croom originally joined the Bills as an undrafted free agent in 2017. He produced 22 receptions for 259 yards and a touchdown in his Bills career all coming in 2018.’
Inside the mindset of Stefon Diggs
‘”I kind of always tell that story and preface it by saying, you don’t usually see a whole lot of guys in the NFL that really stick out and that look different. Maybe over a sample size of 10, 15 practices you can see guys separate themselves. But he kind of immediately did that over the first couple days. So, you knew there was something special there.”‘
