Bills Mailbag: Is it worth looking at a trade for Eagles TE Zach Ertz?

‘I’m still of the belief that Knox can be a really good NFL player, although the start to his season has admittedly not been great – he lost a fumble on his only catch against Miami in Week 2 before suffering a concussion. He has been working off to the side with athletic trainers during practice, so there is reason to hope his absence will not extend much beyond Sunday’s game against the Rams.’

Josh Allen: Peyton Manning wowed by Bills QB

‘“Look at this throw,” Manning says after breaking down the play. “Wow. He’s got a guy that hits him as he’s throwing to keep him from finishing the throw. His own guy actually kind of hits him. It’s one thing to get hit by a defensive lineman, you’re getting hit by an offensive lineman. You got 600 pounds coming at you and he still hits Diggs in stride on a little 43-yard laser. Awesome play.”’

Buffalo Bills vs. Los Angeles Rams 2020: Preview, odds, predictions for Week 3

‘Are the Bills for real? Even if they win this game against the Rams there will be skeptics. Just enjoy the ride, Bills Mafia. Los Angeles’ defense has given up their fair share of yards, but they have made timely plays during the first two weeks of the season. The Rams may cause a turnover on Sunday, but look for Josh Allen and the offense to move the ball and put up some points against Los Angeles. On the other side of the ball, Tre’Davious White will take away Robert Woods or one of the Rams’ other pass catchers. Matt Milano, who appears to be on track to return, will at least slow down Tyler Higbee and the Bills’ defensive line will continue to put pressure on opposing quarterbacks. That will be enough to limit the effectiveness of the Rams’ offense. It will be a close contest, but the Bills move to 3-0 on the season.’

Is Josh Allen proving his doubters wrong in Buffalo?

‘With his arm, size and running, he possesses a top end that Baker Mayfield can’t match. The question was whether Allen would ever get to that. The assumption was that Mayfield’s college accuracy would translate to the NFL, allowing him to throw in rhythm and move the chains for a successful offense, even if he didn’t chuck it deep or plow through linebackers like Allen.’

Looks like Bills got better deal in Stephon Diggs trade

‘“When the trade happened, I was shocked that Buffalo gave up that much,” Lofton said. “But this was what Buffalo thought was the missing piece. And as rich as the wide receiver draft class was — six in the first round, seven in the second round — Buffalo wanted it right now.’

Rams at Bills: Sal’s keys, notes and stats

‘Whenever we hear about being disciplined in football, it’s usually about penalties. But Sunday, the Bills’ defense has to stay disciplined against a Rams offense that will throw lot of different formations and pre-snap motion at them. All of that can be confusing and one miscommunication can result in a big play. Their linebackers and defensive backs will all have to be on the same page before and after the snap and have their eyes in the right places.’

Thad’s Three Things: Bills vs. Rams

‘This is the first tough pick of the year. I think the success of the Bills offense will be the story, either way. I’ll ride the travel issues as my tipping point and give the Bills a 28-27 win.’
