Buffalo Bills News and Discussion

Bills vs Panthers game will decide if these players get cut. Who’s on the bubble?

‘The top four are set with Khalil Shakir, Curtis Samuel, Keon Coleman and Mack Hollins. Last year the Bills rostered only five, and based on his fully guaranteed contract, Marquez Valdes-Scantling presumably is the fifth man. Now he’s hurt, as is Samuel, but coach Sean McDermott said Thursday that he believes both are in a good spot to return for Week 1. If that happens, is that group done, or will the Bills consider keeping six. Would it be Tyrell Shavers who makes the team? He has done some nice things in practice but he’s done nothing in the first two games, with the caveat that the QB situation has been, to put it mildly, troublesome so it’s tough to evaluate.’

S Edwards trending toward return after participating in team drills at Bills final camp practice

‘Once again, plenty of injury updates stemmed from the session, including a significant report regarding safety Mike Edwards, who previously missed extended time due to a hamstring injury. Edwards appeared to be a full participant on Thursday, including work in positional drills, 7 on 7 and 11 on 11 team drills. The Daily News caught up with Edwards after practice, with the veteran saying he was hopeful he will be able return in time for Week 1 of the regular season.’

NFL writer still believes in Buffalo Bills’ offense and Josh Allen

‘“The one-liner: As long as Josh Allen is healthy and in his prime, this Bills offense will be good,” Kapadia wrote. “The Bills have produced a top-10 offense for four straight seasons, and it’s been top five in three of those seasons. It was a bumpy ride last year, but the Bills still finished third in offensive efficiency. After trading Diggs and letting Gabe Davis walk in free agency, this feels like a transition year. But that doesn’t mean the Bills will take a giant step back.”’

NFL writer sees massive drop off coming for Bills’ defense

‘“Last year’s Bills defense was a great example of a coach doing more with less,” Kabadia wrote. “Buffalo was not very talented and got decimated by injuries, but Sean McDermott still coached the team to a no. 12 ranking in defensive efficiency. The coaching job might be even more difficult with this year’s group. The team is in reset mode, with a number of veterans (such as safeties Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde, edge rusher Leonard Floyd, and corner Dane Jackson) no longer on the team.”’

Bills officially wrap training camp Thursday

‘”There was no complaining when we asked the team to spend three nights in Pittsburgh for a practice and then a game. It was just like, ‘This is what we’re doing,’ and that starts with Josh’s leadership,” said McDermott on Thursday ahead of practice at the stadium. “When players see him model that, they follow suite. It’s one thing for me to say something, but it’s another thing when Josh Allen says it, especially inside that locker room.”‘

Bills fans amazed at progress of construction for new Highmark Stadium

‘”I mean, obviously, it’s not close to done yet, but you can kind of see the rows of where the seats will be, the layers of the stadium. Just in the few months it’s been since wintertime, it’s crazy to see how much work they’ve put in so far,” said Bills fan Corey Teed from Livonia, N.Y. “And an experience like that to see what it will look like finished, that’s so awesome. I can’t wait.”‘
