Why Josh Allen believes he will face a fine from NFL

‘Allen was assessed a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty after complaining to an official that he believed he was brought down by a horsecollar tackle. (He was, but because he was inside the pocket it was not illegal.) He was also penalized for a facemask trying to fend off a tackler.’

Jon Gruden can understand how Josh Allen got so good so fast

‘“The speed of the NFL game is so much different than college. I don’t care if you come from the SEC, the ACC, the Big 12, or if you come from Wyoming,” Gruden told reporters Wednesday. “And I think he’s experienced now and he’s caught up with it.”‘

Josh Allen is first Bills quarterback that Jim Kelly has ‘really, really been excited’ about

‘The Bills drafted Todd Collins, J.P. Losman and E.J. Manuel with early draft picks, and none of them started more than 35 games in their NFL careers. Trent Edwards, Cardale Jones and Nathan Peterman were later fliers who didn’t do too much — Peterman was actually historically bad. And there were veterans who came to town, as well, including Bledsoe, Doug Flutie and Ryan Fitzpatrick.’

Opinion: The 3-2-1: No apology necessary

‘Allen, Diggs, Brown, and Beasley with help from Gabriel Davis, Tyler Kroft, and (just like we drew it up) Reggie Gilliam, are finding the end zone routinely. This isn’t just something that means wins now, it creates a feeling that no game is over. It gives birth to a belief that the team can hang with, maybe, any opponent.’

Cuomo: I am ‘100% eager’ to get fans back at Bills Stadium

‘”I understand the plans they’re working on,” Cuomo said. “We have a complicated factor in Western New York because we have a higher infection rate than other parts of the state and we’ve had a caution flag up… I think it was 1.3 percent today. We’re trying to get the infection rate down. It’s something we’re looking at seriously.”‘

Buffalo’s high-powered offense adds pressure to Bills defense

‘“With the playmakers we have on our team, it’s definitely tough to stop. I can see why they’re putting up a lot of points, it’s part of the match up,” Bills cornerback Tre’Davious White said on Zoom on Wednesday. “They find a match up they like and they go with it. It’s tough to go with those guys one on one, Josh does a great job reading the match up and getting the ball where it needs to be.”’

Stopping the run is key for Bills vs. Raiders

‘The Bills allowed 167 against LA led by Darrell Henderson who ran for 114 yards and a touchdown. Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier attributed that second half slump to two things. “This game, just the missed tackles and not being in our gaps that’s something you gotta get fixed in a hurry,” Frazier said on Monday.’

Bills react to Titans positive COVID-19 cases and Raiders players not wearing masks at an event

‘“I think awareness is the big key there with staying disciplined, staying diligent in what we’re doing, our habits that we undertake inside the building and outside the building. We try and focus on the opponent this week which is the Raiders obviously but also being aware of what’s going on around us in our world, not just the NFL but in our world,” McDermott explained.’

Bills Injury Report: September 30th

‘After missing Week 3 due to injuries, running back Zack Moss (toe) and tight end Dawson Knox (concussion) returned to practice. Cornerback Josh Norman (hamstring) also returned to practice in full uniform after missing the first three games of the season. Norman is eligible to return off the IR. Matt Milano practiced in full pads.’

Gov. Cuomo says he will tour Bills stadium this week to decide if fans should be allowed in

‘”I am 100% eager about the games but I’m gonna go out, meet with the team leadership, tour the stadium,” Gov. Cuomo said on a phone call Wednesday. “We have engineers looking at the situation now to see if there’s a way we can work it out- but again with safety, the complicating factor, the overall infection rate in WNY, but we’re working on it and we’re working on it actively.”’
