Opinion: Zooming out
‘Just about every football person near a microphone will tell you how turnovers correlate to success, and they’re not wrong. But once you move into the “punts are turnovers” mindset, games like the one against the Jets don’t actually hit you as hard, because a game like Cincinnati was just as bad.’

Diggs optimistic about Bills offense heading into home opener
‘”I feel like we’ll mix it up,” Diggs said. “Like I said, we don’t have a shortage of talent on this offense. I feel like we’ve got a lot of guys that can make plays. But it also feels like ‘Damn, what direction do we want to go in? We’ve got so many weapons.’ So I feel like it’s a good spot to be in. Week to week, you don’t know what you’re going to get or how it’s going to show up. For me, hopefully I’m out there mixing it up a little bit.”‘
Buffalo Bills cornerback donates new football gear to Green Oaks Giants
‘Reaching for Excellency is a foundation created by White with a mission to enrich the lives of those in need.

‘We’re back to work now’ | How Bills veterans showing their leadership going into Week 2

Mark Gaughan: Josh Allen knows it’s time to start playing with ruthless efficiency
‘“Internally, just understanding the game, understanding situations and making that a point of emphasis on game day,” Allen said. “I let it get away from me this last game and again, I’m not going to let it affect me going forward. As a quarterback in this league, the best ones are able to kind of put this behind them, but take away lessons from it and not let it affect how they play the next game in a negative way. So, again, try to use it to my advantage and learn from it. It’s not the first time I’ve thrown three. And, you know, barring how long I play in this league, hopefully it’s a long time, it might not be the last I ever throw three.”’

Bills cornerback makes plays ‘that should be shown on SportsCenter,’ impresses teammates
‘Benford’s all-out hustle saved the Bills four points because the defense stiffened and forced a field goal which tied the game at 3-3. It didn’t end up mattering in the final result, a 22-16 overtime loss, but plays like that can often determine the outcome of games.’
Bills need players other than Stefon Diggs to step to be successful on offense
‘Gabe Davis played 94% of the snaps and was targeted just four times, catching two for 32 yards. This was not the start Davis was looking for as he begins the final season of his rookie contract looking to either earn a possible contract extension with the Bills, or get paid as a free agent in the offseason.’
Bills’ Stefon Diggs responds to Michael Irvin’s criticism of his exchange with Josh Allen
‘“I’m like, what are you talking about? People garnish things from a game and have their own opinon about x, y, z. Like, what are you talking about?” Diggs said.’
Allen reflects on four turnovers during substandard effort vs. Jets
‘“The grand scheme of things, it’s one game, and we’re not going to let it turn into two,” said Buffalo’s franchise QB. “As a quarterback in this league, the best ones are able to kind of put this behind them but take away lessons from it and not let it affect how they play the next game in a negative way. So, again, try to use it to my advantage and learn from it.”‘
Josh Allen aiming to prove he can overcome interception woes as Bills look toward Raiders in Week 2
‘“It’s a double-edged sword,” Allen said. “Sometimes we get away with it and sometimes it’s the greatest play ever, sometimes it happens the other way like it did Monday night. I understand, I want to be smarter, I want to help this team win football games. I don’t want to put the ball in harm’s way or in jeopardy, and just trying to, again, trust that and trust the guys on the field with me and play selfless ball.”’
