‘Fran Sirianni was the coach at Southwestern Central for nine years. Each of his three sons – Mike, Jay and Nick – followed their father into coaching. “He’s the biggest influence I’ve had,” Nick said. “Just working hard if you want to accomplish something and I find myself thinking about the things he would say and I use those all of the time. He would always tell me, ‘From every place you go, take a little something that – make sure you write it down to form your own coaching philosophy.’ I’ve always taken that with me from each place I’ve went to. There are just so many things that happen when you grow up in a household like that and have parents like that.”’

‘Eagles 38, Bills 26.’
Bills Mailbag: Is Joe Brady a better fit for Josh Allen’s personality?
‘I think Allen is in a tough spot with the offensive change. He campaigned for Dorsey to get the job, and likely feels somewhat responsible for him getting fired. On the other, Allen sure didn’t look like he was having any fun the last couple months, and his “I feel like I’m (expletive) back!” comment on the sideline against the Jets sure felt like he was getting some frustration out. Brady’s approach, at least publicly, does make him seem a bit more easygoing than Daboll or Dorsey, but it’s important to point out we don’t know his style on the practice field or in the meeting room.’
Buffalo Next: Bills fans-themed movie made on thin budget gets national interest
‘“We intended to make a movie for this region and this fan base, and that’s what we’ve been up to working like crazy people,” said Rubin, who served as the editor-in-chief of National Lampoon for 10 years. “But we weren’t totally surprised by the interest. People really understand the story on a national level.”’

Bills must prove they are for real versus Eagles or risk season slipping away fast
‘Did that game truly turn around the Bills’ season, or save it at least? That question cannot begin to be answered until we see what they do against the Eagles. After Philadelphia, the Bills face a road game against the Super Bowl-champion Chiefs then play the Cowboys. That’s a daunting three-game stretch that could doom this season for Buffalo.’
Opinion: Is Bills’ defense about to get exposed?
‘Looking at advanced stats like DVOA or EPA/play, the Bills’ defense would be a tale of two seasons. Dominant early in the year when everyone was healthy, and horrible once everyone was injured.’
Opinion: Capaccio: Bills at Eagles: Sal’s keys, notes and stats
‘The Bills have lost five games, and the common thread in all of them is turnovers. In each of those losses, the Bills offense turned the ball over at least twice. In two of those games they turned it over on their very first offensive snap.’
Carucci Take 2: Bills have a chance to make loud statement vs. Eagles
‘The Eagles’ defense is vulnerable against the pass. They’ve allowed the NFL’s second-most passing touchdowns per game (2.1), while the Bills are tied for the league’s second-most touchdowns per game (2.0). The Eagles’ five interceptions are tied for second-fewest in the NFL. Add it up and you have the essence of why Philadelphia does so poorly on third down and in the red zone.’
