‘“In this visioning session, it became evident that the Pegulas were looking for a stadium that exuded football, family, fandom, and a sense of belonging and togetherness,” Radecic recalled in an email last week. “A place for all Bills fans to call home. A loud, vibrant, intimidating, electrifying place.”’

Bills offense flops, Josh Allen throws two more picks in inexcusable loss to Jets
‘It sure seemed like we were past games like this for Josh Allen, but Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium, the Buffalo Bills quarterback had a performance that took us back five years to his rookie season.’
Bills burned by sloppy Josh Allen, woeful run defense in another poor finish
‘Perhaps we’ll look back at this and call it the necessary slap in the face they needed on their way to the Super Bowl. But if they aren’t careful and their play Sunday continues, not only are they not going to make it to the Super Bowl, they’re going to have a tough time winning the now extremely competitive AFC East and securing a home playoff game.’
What in the world is going on with Bills QB Josh Allen? He said he played like s***
‘Allen played arguably one of the worst games he’s played in his professional career on Sunday. He finished with less than a 47.0 passer rating for just the sixth time in his career. Allen failed to throw a single touchdown in all six of those games (Three of the games were in 2018, one was in 2019, and one came last season against the Atlanta Falcons).’
8 straight runs! Von Miller has idea to help fix Bills’ sudden run defense woes
‘The Bills had been mostly good against the run before the last two games. The Ravens were the only team to rush for more than 100 yards against Buffalo in its first six games. Then the Packers exploded for 208 yards last week and now the Jets followed up with a 174-yard beatdown on the ground.’
It’s time to call Odell Beckham Jr. after Bills fall to 0-2 in division following 20-17 loss to Jets (Report card)
‘There is no defending some of Josh Allen’s throws over the past six quarters. Whether he’s simply forcing things or not reading the field well, Allen is making bad decisions that give opposing teams opportunities to score. That’s exactly what happened on Sunday.’
Former Bills OL trolls Buffalo following loss to Jets
‘Feliciano was referencing a common discussion on Twitter between Bills, Jets and Giants fans about who are really New York teams. Buffalo is the only team to actually play in New York as the Giants and Jets play in New Jersey. Giants and Jets fans, however, argue that their franchises are big market teams that represent New York City while looking down on Buffalo’s small market.’
Allen, sloppy Bills gift critical divisional win to Jets; Buffalo falls to 0-2 in AFC East
‘The Jets’ critical divisional victory was decided on New York’s final possession of the fourth quarter, when Wilson helped guide the Jets’ offense along a 13-play, 86-yard drive that ate up 6:40 of the final frame, culminating in a 28-yard field goal from Greg Zuerlein, putting the Jets ahead by three points, which turned out to be the difference. Buffalo regained possession, trailing by three points with 1:43 remaining, but a crucial penalty and a sack-fumble created by the Jets’ defense set the Bills’ back and they ultimately couldn’t recover, turning the ball over on downs. New York went on to kneel out the final seconds to seal the deal.’
Five Takeaways: Allen’s subpar performance leads to ugly Bills loss; Buffalo at a crossroads entering Week 10
‘While the struggles Allen endured against the Jets stand out above the other challenges the team faced throughout the course of the game, there is no denying that Buffalo has a dearth of capable talent at the wide receiver position. When the Jets took Diggs away during the second half by using more two-high safety looks, the Bills’ passing game shut down.’
Sullivan: The Bills aren’t in panic mode, but loss to Jets casts doubt
‘Sure, Allen is still a freak of nature who rushed for 86 yards and two TDs. But we were supposed to be past the point where his raw running ability covered up for his poor decision-making in the passing game, what he called “brain farts”.’
Sabato: Josh Allen played poorly again, but the Bills can provide more help
‘Against the Jets, the Bills had seven called runs for 23 yards. Granted they only had 56 plays in the game, but they have invested too much capital in running backs for Allen to carry the ball more than anyone else, something he did for the fourth time this season.’
NFL Sunday takeaways: Bills ought not panic after listless loss to the Jets
‘True, though he did run in both of Buffalo’s touchdowns, Allen did throw two fairly gruesome interceptions.’

Josh Allen’s elbow is bigger concern for Bills than 0-2 AFC East record | Opinion
‘The team that looked so invincible against the defending champion Rams in the season opener and dominant in five of their first six games – including wins over the Chiefs, Ravens and Titans in the AFC playoff mix – has hit a bit of a rough patch.’
Wilson, Jets’ Defense Stun Allen, Bills In 20-17 Victory
‘But the defense did its job against Allen, intercepting him twice and sacking him five times. Allen was 18 of 34 for 205 yards — held without a TD pass for the first time since Week 17 of last season against Atlanta — and the INTs by Gardner and Jordan Whitehead.’
