‘“It’s like a pit stop,” the Buffalo Bills’ fifth-year head coach told the The Buffalo News. “The first thing you want to do is try and go to the bathroom. That’s joking, but … seriously. You want to try and go to the bathroom, and I know the players do as well, and then it’s hey, ‘Try and process as much information as you can in a short window of time.’”’

‘Victor Matheson, an economist at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass., said the public financing component of pro stadium deals have changed dramatically in the past 15 or so years. Before 2008, about two-thirds of stadium projects were funded by the public. Since then, about two-thirds, on average, come from private sources, including a number of major NFL projects – from the NFL’s Giants and Jets stadium to the mega Los Angeles stadium project – that have been self-financed by team owners.’

‘And so today comes a game where some Bills fans are welcome, and others are not. Matters of public health should always be above politics. Sadly, that’s not where we are. Politics, like a virus, infects everything these days.’

‘Allen will be fine. He made more exceptional throws (five) than awfully bad ones (four). The team was in control the entire game, he threw two great touchdowns, and all but ran one in on a trademark Allen scramble called back at the 6-inch line. The team cashed in four red zone TDs. The lone INT was low and not a good pass, but more of a great catch off a fluke deflection by an All Pro in Howard.’
