‘“Just to hear their input, because (Hyde and Poyer) study the tape just like we do, and they know the defense well enough that you can trust their input. … Their talent, as well as their commitment to their craft, has a lot to do with the success that they have on the field. Some guys are very talented, but may not have the same commitment level to being the best that they can be. These guys are very committed.”’

Scouting Report: Colts have allowed most passing TDs in the NFL – can Josh Allen take advantage?
‘Prediction: Bills 27, Colts 23.’
Bills Mailbag: How will the team fare in the all-important next four games?
‘I’ll go with 3-1, winning the first three and losing to the Bucs. Forgive me for going all coaching cliché, but it’s true the Bills have to take this stretch one game at a time. This is the meat of the schedule, and with the AFC standings as tight as they are, there is no room for any more slipups like happened in Jacksonville. I still believe the Bills are one of the best teams in the conference, but that loss to the Jaguars has shaken my confidence. A win against the Jets wasn’t enough to totally rebuild that for me.’

‘Many Western New Yorkers feel the same way, as made clear by an emotional stack of messages I received in recent weeks, while others contend the team should stay in a new stadium in Orchard Park – or that so much public money should not be spent on a sports facility at all.’

Can Bills defense slow down Colts’ Jonathan Taylor? What does Buffalo do on OL without Spencer Brown? (6 things to watch)
‘Buffalo has done a good job stopping the run this season, but Sunday is going to be their biggest challenge yet. Star Lotulelei is not expected to play (Reserve/Covid-19 list) and the Bills’ linebackers behind the DL enter the game banged up.’
Buffalo Bills vs. Indianapolis Colts 2021 preview with odds, predictions for Week 11
‘With Star Lotulelei and Spencer Brown likely out – and Tremaine Edmunds still banged up – there are many reasons to believe that the Bills will drop this game to the Colts. But ss well as Indy has played as of late, I think the Bills figure things out enough on their OL to protect Josh Allen and upfront on defense to at least slow Jonathan Taylor down. I’m expecting a close game with Tyler Bass playing the role of hero late.’
Five takes: Bills set to host surging Colts
‘When he’s protected, Colts quarterback Carson Wentz can do big things. Buffalo must put the Indianapolis QB under pressure this afternoon and make his afternoon an uncomfortable one.’

Opinion: Capaccio: Colts at Bills: Sal’s keys, notes, and stats
‘The Bills will be without right tackle Spencer Brown and guard Jon Feliciano. The last time both starters were out of the lineup was two weeks ago at Jacksonville. The Bills gained only 301 total yards, gave up four sacks, and didn’t get into the end zone that day against the Jaguars. They have to have a much better performance in the same situation against the Colts Sunday.’
