Jim Kelly makes a 98-year-old veteran’s dream come true
‘“My father served in the military, he was in the Navy many years back and I know what it meant to him, on this day today, and so many other days my dad always stressed how important the people were in our world that helps us be free,” Kelly said.’
Buffalo Bills place Justin Zimmer on IR
‘Zimmer has been placed on injured reserve with a season-ending knee injury. According to the Buffalo Bills, the injury will require surgery.’
Dawson Knox back to full practice; other roster news and shakeups
‘Jake Fromm is another QB coming to the roster. He was elevated from Covid/Injury reserve list along with wide receiver Tanner Gentry.’
Bills sign Cam Lewis to 53-man roster; Justin Zimmer place on injured reserve + other moves announced
‘Lewis joined the Bills as an undrafted free agent in 2019. He has played six career games with three career starts. Lewis is an alum of the University at Buffalo.’
What they’re saying | National experts remain optimistic on the Bills at the 2021 midseason mark
‘I’ll stick with my preseason prediction. Buffalo needs more balance on offense and better play from its line but has as much upside right now as any team going into the second half of the season. And to me, the way the Packers hung in there in Kansas City was indicative of how good that team is. Even with subpar quarterback play, they were right there to the end, which shows you how good they can be with Rodgers.’
Bills must improve run game to ‘be the team that (they’re) trying to become’
‘McDermott reiterated that he was confident in the Bills’ offensive line, which has been banged up, and that he was confident in the offense as a whole. Still, the message was clear: the Bills need to improve their run game before they play the New York Jets on Sunday. Inconsistencies there have hampered the offense’s options.’
Mark Gaughan: Sean McDermott shows sense of urgency in setting tone for Bills
‘Wednesday was McDermott’s best news conference of the season so far. As we all know, he’s the anti-Rex Ryan. Measured. Circumspect. No phony bombast.’
Erik Brady: Search for ‘not ever victorious team’ spawned a diehard love for the Buffalo Bills
‘“So I’m looking for my favorite team like that for a few years,” he writes, “and I encountered and sympathized with Bills so much by their Super Bowl 25 ‘Wide Right.’ Furthermore, the team name and team situation were so close to my favorite Japanese pro baseball team, Kintetsu Buffaloes. Buffaloes also have never become Japanese pro baseball champion by a narrow margin every year, and lost dramatically at championship games for many times.”’
Bills running game woes continue. Will Matt Breida get a chance to spark improvement?
‘When Allen hands off to Devin Singletary or Zack Moss, the results have generally been less than inspiring. The Bills have 22 runs of at least 10 yards this season, and Singletary and Moss have just nine combined, while Allen has 12 and Mitchell Trubisky one.’
Buffalo Bills vs New York Jets: Bills say they have moved on from loss to Jaguars
‘“Look, a loss is never easy,” coach Sean McDermott said. “We have to learn from it. It’s important that we handle it the right way. There’s a lot of things we could have done differently in that game. And I think you’ll learn a lot from those situations if handled the right way. And that’s the only piece of that that we can control at this point.”‘
Bills’ Sean McDermott promises adjustments, discusses failure to run the ball
‘“I thought we’d be further along. I thought that we would have progressed in that area,” McDermott said. “It is something that we need to do and do better if we want to be the team that we’re trying to become.”’
Bills’ Tremaine Edmunds doesn’t practice Wednesday; Dawson Knox, Spencer Brown return
‘Edmunds worked off to the side at the start of practice alongside running back Zack Moss, who is currently in the NFL’s concussion protocol forcing him to miss practice as well.’
