Bills Activate Guard Jon Feliciano Off Injured Reserve

‘Feliciano started 16 games at right guard last season, and was expected to retain the job before he was hurt while working out on his own before the start of training camp. He resumed practicing with the team a few weeks ago.’

Bill Belichick noticed one big improvement in Josh Allen from last season, and here’s what it is

‘”Now, he’s still a dangerous runner – I’m not saying that. He can run and he does run, but I think he’s become more patient and just does a better job of dealing with outlet receivers in the coverage or secondary receivers in the pattern than he did. As he gained experience, I think that’s to be expected of any good quarterback like that. So, he can certainly make all the throws. He’s got a great arm and he can run, he’s athletic, he’s hard to tackle. But, I’d say his overall execution in the passing game has improved each of the last three years.”‘

McDermott: Milano did a good job in limited role on Sunday

‘“We just have to see,” McDermott said of Milano’s status for this week. “He’s coming off a pretty significant injury there, but I thought he did a good job. Mentally he was in a good spot today and we’ll just see how it goes throughout the rest of the week here.”’

Bill Belichick explains how Josh Allen has taken his game to another level

‘”I think that Josh [Allen] does a good job of going to some of the secondary outlet receivers based on the coverage, where that takes him and if it’s open he’ll throw it for sure, and if it isn’t then he’s, I would say, not as quick to pull the ball down to run. He finds secondary receivers and outlets, check downs, and that kind of thing.”‘

Opinion: Bills have chance to finally start burying the Patriots

‘Even before the 2020 season started, the stated goal of the Bills, from general manager Brandon Beane to head coach Sean McDermott, down to the players, was to win the division, because that’s how they’ll get a home playoff game. Whenever they mentioned it, they also specifically referenced beating the Patriots. The standard. The team that’s owned the AFC East for the last 20 years. It’s still theirs until the Bills take it from them, Beane and others said. They’re right.’

Opinion: Bills vs. The Coaches

‘Belichick’s 35 wins over the Bills are only tied for the most against the team. Don Shula had the same 35 wins, against 20 losses. The only other coaches to beat the Bills 10 or more times go back to the AFL days of the 1960s: Sid Gillman (11) and Hank Stram (10).’

Bills activate Jon Feliciano from Injured Reserve

‘”He’s a tough guy who is a good communicator and he’s smart,” Bills Offensive Coordinator Brian Daboll said on Monday. “He’s everything you want in a player at that position, so we’ll see how that goes.”‘

The Bills Eye: Hughes, Murphy pace defensive resurgence

‘Jerry Hughes was as good on film as he was on TV, just like Leslie Frazier said. He seemed to get better as the game went on. It felt like a shark smelling blood in the water. Not only was he active and disruptive in the pass rush, he was especially alert. Both his sacks came on plays where he recognized and/or anticipated a Sam Darnold scramble and got to the right spot to make a play. It’s not always about strength, speed or moves with getting to the quarterback. Hughes also had all of those working, but the plays he finished were just as much about smarts.’

Bills activate guard Jon Feliciano

‘The Bills offensive line is hoping to get a big boost with the return of guard Jon Feliciano. In his second season in Buffalo, missed the first 7 games of the year after suffering a torn pectoral muscle during training camp this year. The move on Tuesday does not necessarily mean Feliciano will play against the Patriots. The team needed to make a decision on his roster spot by this week and activated him, otherwise he would have been on season ending injured reserve.’
