Bills’ new home won’t be dome, … or downtown

‘Indeed the Bills’ home city, Buffalo, has been losing population every year since 2012 and now is barely 270,000 residents. And while many of them are fans, do they really care enough to fund a stadium that’s home to a member of one of the most successful businesses in the country?’

Q&A with Eric Washington: Bills D-Line coach has big job coaching big prospects

‘“I take my direction and my cues from our coordinator and our head coach. For me as the facilitator in that room, I want us to be better in everything. I want us to be better in getting hits on the quarterback, coming up and giving Coach Frazier the option of calling front and coverage and being able to count on our four-man rush getting the job for us. I’m also proud of the effort we played with last year up front. And what we did to help our team get to the position we were in and the contribution of the guys that played. From one man to the next, we want to be better in everything we’re tasked with doing. For the front, that means we have to generate pressure with four guys.”’

Digging into the Bills proposal for a new stadium in an old place

‘The $2 billion question is this: Who is going to foot the bill for such an enormously expensive undertaking? County and state tax dollars were used for the construction of the stadium originally known as Rich nearly a half century ago. The price tag was $22 million — roughly $128 million in today’s dollars. Taxpayers also were forced to dig into their wallets to help fund a $63 million renovation of the renamed Ralph Wilson Stadium in 1999, and a $130-million makeover in 2013.’

Fans enjoy ‘The Jordan Poyer Experience’

‘“This turnout was more than I expected,” he told the gathering. “This is the community that embraced me, and the community where I was out here running in the streets since I was 5 years old.”’

Report: Bills QB Josh Allen willing to structure contract to help team

‘General Manager Brandon Beane has mentioned talks of a contract extension, but also added it needs to be right for both sides and that at this point, there’s no rush to get things done. In a recent report from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, it looks like the Bills QB is willing to be flexible when it comes to his next contract.’

Allen over Rodgers: Why the Bills’ QB is ranked second in Chris Simms’ Top 40 QB Countdown

‘“This was maybe my toughest ranking of all right here. This spot, two and three, was the hardest for me on the whole list. I don’t play favorites, even though (Aaron Rodgers) is my favorite quarterback of all time, and I still think he’s the greatest I’ve ever seen. Rodgers is still so surgical with decision making, accuracy, and all of those types of things. His arm, it’s only behind the two guys that are in front of him in football. It’s still a phenomenal, world-class, game-changing type arm. But, it’s not enough to overcome all the plays Josh Allen makes. It’s unbelievable.’
