‘”I am comfortable saying now that the conversations I’ve had with the Bills and the state is a belief that 10%, which would be a little over 7,000 fans, would be safe. As long as you had time for entry and exit. Which means the game may end and you would not be allowed to leave until your section until your section is called.”‘

Daboll praises Bills willingness to fight
‘“Everybody’s got to get their mind right when things aren’t going perfectly. It’s a full 60 minute game, and you’ve got to be a relentless player, just keep on playing,” Brian Daboll said on Zoom on Monday. “Some of those plays that those guys made, it’s not just a throw and a catch, credit the line too, they had to block a pretty good front and one of the best guys I’ve ever seen play, he’s unreal. To do it with four minutes left and go down there and overcome a 3rd and 22, then a 3rd and 25, it takes everybody. It’s not easy.”’
Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier: “It’s better for our team when we have balance”
‘“Then those next four series man we just couldn’t find a way to get off the field. We couldn’t stop the run game, all of a sudden they’re making plays with the bootleg that we had been containing and when it rains it pours. It just kept coming. So there’s some things that we’ll have to get better at for sure, being able to be more gap sound and tackle better,” Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier said.’

Bills find wins in ways other teams can’t possibly imagine
‘I’ll start with this: Brian Daboll is criminally underrated. When the Bills were rolling up four consecutive touchdown drives, Daboll had the Rams defense inside out. Receivers were running nearly as free as they do in drills against air in practice. Gabriel Davis is five yards open for a 40 yard catch. Tyler Kroft’s first TD didn’t have a blue jersey within 30 yards. Daboll even schemed Lee Bleeping Smith wide open on a fourth and goal play.’
