4 things we learned from Sean McDermott about Bills-Titans week

‘”I would say they’re aware of it, much like we are as an organization,” McDermott said. “In terms of, they’re aware of it and their antennas are up. Most of these young guys follow social media rather closely, for better or worse. But that said, I know they’re focused on going and taking the field here in a few minutes to practice. I understand, as I said before, there’s a human element to this and it takes mental toughness to do our best to compartmentalize that. But that’s what we need to do right now, so that’s what we plan on doing as we take the practice field shortly.”‘

What Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs, Jordan Poyer + others said about Bills at Titans | Week 5

‘”I wouldn’t say it’s frustrating, but as a team that’s off to a good start we feel like we’ve got a good thing rolling here,” Allen said. “We want to play, that’s our mindset. And again, like I said, we’re preparing to play on Sunday. Unfortunately, it takes two to tango and it is what it is. We’ll figure it out. The league will figure it out. Then, we’ll move forward from whenever we get the news if we’re playing, if we’re not playing. Again, this is a team that’s been flexible, and we’ve been able to adjust and overcome a lot of different things throughout the season. This is just another one of those things.”‘

Top 5 storylines fans need to follow for Bills at Titans | Week 5

‘There’s potential for the Bills to start the season 5-0 for the first time since 1991. It would mark just the second time in franchise history the Bills would start the season with five straight wins. Buffalo has already accumulated several impressive stats through four weeks of play, going undefeated into a Thursday Night Football against the Chiefs would be the icing on the cake to start the season.’

Bills Today | Pro Football Focus recognizes Jordan Poyer as a top safety at the quarter mark of the season

‘Josh Allen and the offense is getting the bulk of the attention in Buffalo this season, but the defense has carried on being quietly impressive and underrated. One of the most underrated members is safety Jordan Poyer. The way Buffalo deploys their safeties, Poyer has lined up all over the secondary, both in deep coverage and closer to the box as well as covering the slot against certain matchups when required. He has been excellent in any of those areas, racking up eight defensive stops in four games and forcing a key fumble against the Jets in Week 1.’

Column: Bills’ Brian Daboll rightfully destined to be hot head-coaching candidate

‘For Bills’ fans panicking over the thought of having Daboll’s X-and-O wizardry suddenly yanked from their dreams of a deep playoff run, relax. He isn’t going anywhere before the end of the season, assuming the Bills want that to be the case (and nothing would indicate otherwise). After the season is a different story.’

If fans are allowed at Bills games – a big if – should you go?

‘Dr. Thomas Russo, chief of infectious disease at the University at Buffalo’s Jacobs School of Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, did some rough math based on infection numbers. “If we have 10,000 (people) in the stadium,” Russo said, “we’ll have 50 that are positive.”’

The Josh Allen Experience is getting a little less wild — and a lot better

‘Allen has emerged through the season’s first four weeks as one of the most improved and interesting players in the NFL, sneaking into the periphery of the MVP debate. He has captained the Bills to a 4-0 start, authored a barrage of highlights and ranks second in the league in passing yards (1,326) and third in touchdown passes (12) while completing 70.9 percent of his throws and running for three more scores.’
