Beane was right about Allen, Diggs

‘Allen’s struggles seemed an indictment of Beane and McDermott, who traded up twice to take a non-Power 5 conference QB at No. 7 overall in 2018. But both stuck with their quarterback even as “experts” suggested the selection could be “career suicide.” And this year, they were vindicated.’

What we learned from snap counts in Bills’ Week 14 win, game ball and more

‘A week after the rookie running back was benched following a fumble against the San Francisco 49ers, Moss played 44 offensive snaps (59%) Sunday night in the Bills’ 26-15 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers at Bills Stadium. He led the Bills with 13 carries for 43 yards, with six of those attempts coming as the Bills grinded out the final 7:11 of the game.’

Five takeaways from Monday’s Bills press conferences

‘“That was goal No. 1 going into the season – to win our division because of what it assures us,” defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier said. “It’s a big deal. We’re working as hard as we can to achieve that goal because that’s the first step toward our ultimate goal. Our players are well aware. Sean has made it very clear what our goals are and how we need to work to achieve those goals. If we can win the AFC East, what a big deal for our organization and our fan base. That’s priority No 1. We have another game coming up that’s very important.”’

Position grades: DBs continue Bills’ takeaway trend

‘Defensive backs (5.0): Johnson’s pickoff changed the game and was the big play of his three-year career. Wallace was beaten for a 19-yard TD by James Washington on a skinny post route. It was a good route and a sharp pass into a tight window by Roethlisberger. But Wallace also had two pass breakups, and made a good reaction to the ball in the air on his interception. Roethlisberger was just a tad late recognizing where to go with the pass, another example of the good coverage disguising by safeties Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde. Roethlisberger did not complete a pass longer than 20 yards. Tre’Davious White had textbook deep coverage early on an incompletion for Chase Claypool and made a heads-up play to bat down a third-down pass near the line. White and Siran Neal got picked on the fourth-quarter TD pass to JuJu Smith-Schuster.’

Stefon Diggs has taken Josh Allen and the Bills offense to new levels

‘“Diggs is so special that as I see him play, I just want to rip off my captain’s ‘C’ and throw it on his chest, because he’s a stud, man,” said the always entertaining Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins. “He’s been grinding. He’s come in and he just continues to outperform, outshine and prove to us day in and day out that he’s a different guy and he’s our guy.”’

Bills’ Gabriel Davis, Matt Milano make Christmas wish come true for young boy

‘According to Disney Parks’ blog, Davis and Milano flew DeLude and his mother, Ashley, to Orlando, Florida to have him fitted for blades, but that was not all. In addition to covering all of the costs for the prosthetic legs, Buffalo’s promising young receiver and star linebacker also treated the mother and son to a trip to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.’
