‘To which Buffalo defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier added, “They’ve done a really good job of running the football (though star rookie back Breece Hall is lost for the season to a knee injury) and with the play-action pass. Their receiving corps is really improved, they’ve upgraded through the draft and some select free agents and it seems they’re much-improved on offense.”’

Bills’ Beane has earned lofty status
‘Bean’s real strength is an instinct for making key trades — acquiring wide receiver Stefon Diggs (2020) brought in the missing piece for Buffalo’s potent offense — and signing — with the exception of high-profile edge rusher Von Miller — salary cap-friendly veteran free agents who contribute.’
Return to the Bills an emotional full circle for Dean and Marlana Marlowe
‘“I don’t know. But every team that I was on, I told them I said, ‘Hey, I’m going to the couch to go watch the Bills, man. I’m watching the game tonight,’ ” Marlowe said. “Once you become a Bill, you’re always a Bill. … And once you played here for a while, (the fans) embrace you as you embrace the city as well.”’

My View: I became a Bills fan and now I know what I was missing
‘Now, I get it. I think about the games beforehand and learn about the opponents – at minimum, the name of the team and their record. During the game, you can find me shouting at the TV to inform the coach or players on either team about what they should be doing. I cheer, moan and sit on the edge of my seat.’
Voice of the Fan: Already scary good, the Bills just got frighteningly better
‘The move affects several Bills personally, although the true outcome is still up in the air. Starting running back Devin Singletary will remain RB1 but now might not be re-signed next year when his contract is up. James Cook’s role will likely not change much except he might become the front-runner for RB1 in 2023.’
