Inside the Bills: Why Sean McDermott is pulling so hard for the Philadelphia Union this weekend

Mark Gaughan: Dream on! Josh Allen has become poster boy for opponents’ wishful thinking
‘“With these young quarterbacks, the fallback is to scramble, get out of the pocket, run,” said retired ex-Bill Ryan Fitzpatrick, now an Amazon Prime NFL analyst. “You’ve seen Josh develop. He knows when he’s running. He knows when to step up and try to make the big play. His development has been so amazing from the completion percentage that everybody points to and the huge jump that he made from Year 2 to Year 3. That’s a big one. But knowing when to take off, knowing when to scramble, when to stay in the pocket and make the play, that’s something he has developed. It’s definitely been learned since he’s been in the NFL.”’
How we see it: News writers give predictions on Bills vs. Jets
‘While the Jets’ defense has improved quickly, quarterback Zach Wilson has not. The Bills’ defense is still working through quite a few injuries, and I don’t think Tre’Davious White will have a massive role if he takes the field. Still, this defense should make Wilson’s day brutal. Wilson is coming off a three-pick loss to the Patriots. Expect the Bills defense to further rattle him. Bills, 34-16.’

Jets d-lineman: Bills QB Josh Allen cries for calls, baits players into penalties
