Bills Mailbag: How should the coaching staff deal with James Cook’s fumble?

‘Coach Sean McDermott isn’t asking for my advice – even though it’s given weekly in the mailbag! – but if it were up to me, I’d give him the ball early against the Titans. There will come a time this season when the Bills need Cook to produce. He was basically benched after his fumble against the Rams, although he did come back on the field for a couple more plays. That should have sent the message that carelessness with the football won’t be tolerated. Now, it’s time to build his confidence back up. Offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey was passionate when we talked to him Monday about the faith he has in both Cook and Zack Moss, who also lost a fumble against the Rams. It would be good to show it early against Tennessee.’

Bills fans, far and wide, revved up for home opener

‘“You can imagine what the stadium will be like Monday – it’s going to be electric,” Reid said. “Everyone is just on cloud nine right now. I think we’re all having so much fun. This team has earned the right for us to kick all that curse jibber-jabber to the curb and for all of us to be all in. I trust this team to do it all and I think that’s how most fans feel.”‘

Official cheese of the Buffalo Bills? How sponsorships bring big money to sports teams, marketing opportunities to companies

‘The Sabres and Bills customize sponsorships to each brand. That flexibility – and the opportunity for innovation in how it’s created and rolled out – has helped build relationships that have been deeply rooted for years, said Dan Misko, senior vice president of business development for Pegula Sports and Entertainment, which runs the sports ventures for Sabres and Bills owners’ Terry and Kim Pegula.’

As big as Flutie Flakes? Challenge Tim Hortons? How Josh Allen will become a coffee brand

‘“We’ve never had a product like this and certainly with how Josh has ascended, we have extremely high expectations,” Ballou said. “There’s only one Doug Flutie and Flutie Flakes is my Cabbage Patch Kids and Rubik’s Cube – I’ve been chasing Flutie Flakes for 24 years … but I think this product has the feel that it can be almost as big.”’

Will Bills Monday night game vs Titans join this list of 10 most memorable home openers?

‘If you were there, you’ll never forget the emotion that erupted when the final gun sounded and the horror of that 0-for-the-1970s streak was snapped. Ferguson tried his best to make sure the streak lived as he threw five interceptions, but he directed a 68-yard go-ahead TD drive that was capped by his short TD pass to Roosevelt Leaks with 3:36 to go.’

Bills Potentially Thin At Defensive Tackle Against Titans

‘Buffalo only has four defensive tackles on its active roster and could be forced to promote Brandin Bryant and C.J. Brewer from its practice squad. The Bills retooled defensive front limited the Rams to 52 yards rushing.’

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabe Davis questionable vs. Tennessee Titans with ankle injury

‘Davis practiced the rest of the week and was warming up normally with the team at the start of the session Saturday. The Bills’ No. 2 wide receiver caught four passes for 88 yards and a touchdown in the 31-10 win against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1. The third-year receiver is taking on a bigger role this year, and while the offense has plenty of playmakers, his absence vs. the Titans on Monday Night Football (ESPN, 7:15 p.m. ET) would be significant.’
