Bills counting on Ed Oliver, defensive line to lead the way

‘“I don’t know the exact time of the game, but I started to, you know, feel that he was getting into his groove, getting into his rhythm,” Babich said of Oliver. “It was great to see. Ed’s a really good player. It just, it’s been cool, man. I’ve developed a relationship with Ed that maybe I haven’t had before because I wasn’t as involved with the D-line. But it’s really cool to see, really cool to see. He’s an intentional person about what he wants to be.”’

Joe Brady is making life easier for Josh Allen, and in the best ways. How? Here’s Jim Kubiak’s analysis

‘This victory and review of Allen’s performance demonstrates the philosophy of the coaching staff and the culture of the organization: a completeness of the team-building elements that coach Sean McDermott favors. The Bills have a way of finding and developing players within the structure of the team who may not be the fastest, the biggest, or the most physical, but who play the best together as they do their job within the framework of the schemes.’

Erik Brady: 50 years ago, Bills and Raiders played ‘Monday Night Football’ thriller that was ‘way, way up there’

‘Ferguson had thrown only four touchdown passes in 1973, his rookie year, when his job was mostly to hand off to Simpson. But he already had two TD passes in this game. The Bills had the ball at their own 28 following the kickoff, with 1:14 left. “I just told our linemen in the huddle,” Ferguson said later, “ ‘You know what we have to do, they know what we have to do, I just need a little extra time.’”’

Observations from from a Bills-free NFL Sunday slate

‘Only five teams remain without a loss in the AFC already. Some you probably expected to be here: the Chiefs, the Texans and (if you’re a confident fan) the Bills. The others are more of a surprise: Mike Tomlin, Justin Fields and the Steelers and Jim Harbaugh’s Chargers. If I told you 10 days ago that a Harbaugh brother would be 2-0 and the other 0-2, I can’t imagine many would expect John’s Ravens to be on the bad side.’

Josh Allen looks like the NFL MVP through two weeks

‘The star quarterback currently has five total touchdowns and zero interceptions. He is one of just three quarterbacks to have at least three touchdown passes with no picks – Kyler Murray and C.J. Stroud are the other two. ‘

Have expectations for the Buffalo Bills changed in 2024?

‘With extra time to prepare for Jacksonville, the Bills want to keep their win streak alive as a desperate Jags team comes to Orchard Park. But is the winning sustainable and how much have we learned about the Bills after two weeks?’
