‘“As a fan, as a Bills fan and I still am obviously, most of the time but as I’ve watched when he got drafted there I remember Jim Kelly and I having a conversation about it like “oh this feels like it could be the right guy to put our old team back on the map offensively”, you know a guy kind of like Jim Kelly cut out of the same mold in a lot of respects,” Reich said on a zoom call with Buffalo reporters earlier this week.’

Reich returns with views on Buffalo’s Allen
‘“Watching from afar you can tell the kind of leader he is … it just jumps off the tape. You watch any game on television … this guy’s not just a great player, you can feel his leadership and the team’s belief in him. That’s a big part of playing quarterback and that’s a credit to Josh for the way he believes in himself and made that team believe in him.”’

How we see it: News writers predictions for Bills vs. Colts
‘So, why pick the Bills? Colts quarterback Carson Wentz can be counted on to give the Bills’ opportunistic secondary some chances, and if the Bills win the turnover battle, they likely win the game. Indianapolis’ defense also is not all that intimidating off the edge, and the Colts’ best defensive players – DeForest Buckner and Darius Leonard – have been banged up. If the Bills’ offensive line can give quarterback Josh Allen time – admittedly, a big if – the team’s receivers should be able to get open against an Indianapolis secondary that ranks 23rd in passing yards allowed per play. Bills, 24-20.’

After spectacular catch last week, Gabriel Davis looks to build on big-play performance
‘“It felt good,” Davis said. “I was kind of in a slump for the past couple weeks because I wasn’t getting a lot of playing time. But then I had opportunities show up and I was able to execute and do what I do. I was just looking at the ball in the air and I said, ‘You only get so much of an opportunity, you got to make this play.’ I definitely knew it was gonna be contested and I was gonna have to watch the ball the whole time and luckily it bounced the right way and I was able to grab onto it and get two feet in.”‘
Bills place Spencer Brown on Reserve/Covid-19 list

If he’s unvaccinated he must quarantine for a mandatory 10 days, which means he’d miss Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts and the Thanksgiving game against the New Orleans Saints. If he’s vaccinated he can return as soon as symptoms are gone and he has two negative tests within 24 hours of each other.’
