Pollock: Few positives in preseason Bills’ victory

‘The game provided one major cautionary tale. If Bills quarterback Josh Allen should be injured, given Keenum’s performance, Buffalo’s offense is toast. Third-stringer Matt Barkley performed better, albeit against Indy’s scrubs, hitting 18-of-24 passes for 224 yards with an 86.1 rating but he also threw an interception and had a two-point conversion attempt picked off.’

Bills lineman Rodger Saffold calls recent car crash a ‘traumatic experience’

‘“I’m doing great, man,” Saffold said. “Trainers have done a fantastic job of bringing me in slowly. And I’m just gaining more and more confidence every day. They wouldn’t be putting me out there if I wasn’t ready to play. Of course there’s some soreness that you’ve got to work through, but that’s just part of the game.”’

Metro Bus to revive service to Bills games

‘Helen Tederous, spokeswoman for the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority, said Metro has held discussions with Erie County, the Bills and others about operating four routes, with a “soft launch” set for the August 20th pre-season game.’

Bob Babich: Former TU assistant recently retired from Buffalo Bills

‘Will he make lunch before working out or after working out? An otherwise simple choice is tough for Babich, who was never home for this long as he worked for 11 teams throughout college football and the NFL and lived in 18 homes in 12 states over 37 years of coaching.’

Bills’ OL Saffold Focus On Starting Job After Rib Injury

‘Saffold said he didn’t realize the extent of his rib injuries until he arrived in Buffalo and began working out at the team’s facility last month. He missed the first two weeks of training camp before being activated from the non-football injury list on Aug. 7.’

Bills’ Saffold is settling in after recovering from a car accident in Los Angeles.

‘The accident happened in California and Saffold said it’s not something he wants to talk about, “I don’t want to get into the details of the crash because it was traumatic for me, but it was just an accident and I just had some sore ribs and it wasn’t until I got back here that I figured out the damage that was in place.”’

Saffold expects quick transition to Bills lineup

‘“I think the hardest thing about having a new offensive line coach is having to deal with the new techniques,” Saffold said. “Being able to bring me out there, he’s using me as a (teaching) dummy pretty much 70-80 percent of the time. I’m able to help these guys figure out the techniques out on the ball while they’re helping me out with the terminology.”’
