Bills rule out linebacker Edmunds from playing against Jets
‘Edmunds didn’t practice this week after sustaining a hamstring injury in a 9-6 loss at Jacksonville last week. He leads the team with 54 tackles through eight games this season. Veteran backup A.J. Klein is expected to fill in for Edmunds.’
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox set to return vs. New York Jets after missing two games due to injury
‘The Bills’ offense has struggled in the past two games, averaging 16 points per game compared to 32.7 over the first six games. Knox has become one of quarterback Josh Allen’s go-to targets, catching five touchdowns over a four-game stretch. The Bills’ needed Knox to step up at tight end this year, and so far he has.’
Listen: McDermott: Penalties have to be ‘an ongoing attention to detail’
‘“There’s gonna be games where it spikes like that, but we went overboard,” McDermott said with Sal Capaccio and “Sneaky Joe” DiBiase. “We are well-aware the crew this week has called the most penalties of any crew in the NFL, so it has to be an ongoing attention to detail for our football team.”’
Buffalo Bills LB Tremaine Edmunds ruled out for Sunday’s game against the New York Jets
‘McDermott also announced offensive lineman Spencer Brown and tight end Dawson Knox are trending in the right direction, cornerback Taron Johnson has cleared concussion protocol and running back Zack Moss remains in concussion protocol.’
Part of Chippewa to close Sunday for next “Buffalo Bills Block Party”
‘The strip will be shut down between Delaware and Franklin for people to watch the game outside. Gates open at 11:30 a.m.’
Road trip to the Bills Helmet Bar
‘As they grew up, it held their firewood and after a few beers one night, the brothers got to thinking. “We allowed ourselves to dream. If our favorite basketball team can win a championship, maybe our football team can too,” he said. “The next day we took it down hauled it all the way up here and it hasn’t come down since.” That was back in the Summer of 2019.’
Bills’ Tremaine Edmunds out for Sunday’s game against the NY Jets
‘McDermott says they’ll miss Edmunds’ leadership on the field. AJ Klein will replace Edmunds on the field Sunday. Tyrel Dodson is also expected to help out.’
Bills injury notes for Sunday at Jets
‘Though Cole Beasley was limited, as well, he’s expected to suit up on Sunday as is Dawson Knox, who hasn’t played since fracturing his hand in Week 6 against the Titans. Taron Johnson and Spencer Brown were also given the green light.’
Tremaine Edmunds ruled out for Bills at Jets | Week 10
‘Edmunds is the team’s leading tackler (55).’
What Bills’ Jamil Douglas learned during 28-3 Super Bowl comeback with Patriots
‘“It was very calm,” Douglas said about the atmosphere as his teammates rallied from a 28-3 second-half deficit on the sport’s grandest stage. “There was no panic, from what I remember. That team had a lot of confidence that year and everybody just stayed the course. I learned a lot just watching how those guys approached every day and how they approached the games. Never down and out, just really, ‘Hey, next play, next drive, one at a time.’”’
PlayAction: A slight dip in RPOs could help Bills’ O-line fire off ball
‘On an RPO, Allen reads a “conflict defender,” a safety or linebacker. If that player is leaning toward the run, Allen can pull the ball out of the running back’s hands and pass. If that player is backing up into coverage, Allen can hand the ball off. In theory, the Bills have a numbers advantage either way the defense plays it, especially when it’s zone coverage. Allen is counting the defenders in the box and making a play.’
Bills defensive tackle Justin Zimmer done for season; CB Cam Lewis moved to 53-man roster
‘“It’s hard to replace him (Edmunds), but we play team defense. A.J. Klein is going to come in and do a great job as always when his name’s called,” Oliver said Thursday. “… As long as I got the call, I trust A.J. Klein to give me the call and he’ll handle his business. When Tremaine gets back, it’ll be like nothing ever happened. Hopefully there’s no drop off, I expect A.J. Klein to come in and step right in and play.”’
How we see it: News sports writers predict how Bills will fare vs. Jets
‘You’d like to think this is a perfect opponent for the Bills to have a bounce-back game. The Jets are 2-6 and they’re starting inexperienced Mike White against the No. 1-ranked defense in the NFL. I’m not sure this is a get-healthy game for the Bills’ rushing attack, even though the Colts just ran for 260 yards against the Jets last week. I think that’s a bit more of a statement on how scary-good the Colts’ rushing attack is. The Jets have big people on the defensive line. But the Jets’ secondary is the weakness of the defense. They just lost their veteran leader on the back end, safety Marcus Maye. I like Josh Allen to hit some deep balls. I think White will struggle. I like the Bills a lot this week. In a division game, however, I’m nervous about giving 13 points. Bills 30, Jets 17.’
View from Vegas: Is it safe to back Bills laying two touchdowns on the road in a division game?
‘Buffalo is 7-0 against the spread vs. foes coming off a Thursday contest, and the Jets are 2-8 against the spread in their last 10 division home games. Until the Bills get their act back together again, we simply don’t trust them laying two touchdowns on the division road, after last week’s debacle in Jacksonville.’
