Bills notebook: Bernard not likely to go on IR; Morse weighs in on favorite games
‘Asked Saturday if injured reserve was still a possibility for Bernard, McDermott indicated it’s unlikely. “Don’t know anything else right now, I don’t think so, but still I can’t make that statement with 100% certainty right now,” McDermott said. “But I feel like we won’t have to go that direction.”’
Bills Mailbag: After a hot start, recalibrating expectations for this year’s team
‘The Bills deserve a good deal of credit for their start. The win over Arizona looks more impressive after the Cardinals smacked the Rams in Week 2. The Dolphins certainly played a stinker of a game in Week 2, but holding that offense to just 10 points is quite an accomplishment. The good news for the Bills is they might not be at their best, either. It’s reasonable to think when Taron Johnson and Terrel Bernard get back, the defense might be even better. You have to imagine that offensive coordinator Joe Brady will find ways to get his receivers and tight ends more involved in the passing game, too. The first two weeks have probably pushed me from a 10-7 record prediction to 11-6. The ease of the Miami win was jarring, but the Bills’ schedule does not let up. After Monday night’s home game against Jacksonville, the team is on the road for three straight. That’s not an easy ask for any team. It’s crucial for the Bills to keep banking these wins, so while promising, the first two games are just a start.’
How 9-hour interview told Pete Guelli dual role with Bills, Sabres was ‘dream job’
‘“You’re always following somebody,” he said during one of multiple interviews with The Buffalo News. “I’ve walked in after somebody and they don’t always leave under the best of circumstances. I felt I was uniquely qualified for this opportunity, so it didn’t concern me at all.”’
Josh Allen’s statistics have been meager so far but he still has reasons to smile
‘“If you’re focused on stats it’s frustrating,” Allen said Wednesday when he was asked about the low passing numbers he has compiled. “In terms of winning football games, it’s not. It’s just whatever helps us move the ball and score when it matters. That’s all we’re caring about right now.”’

Josh Allen doesn’t care about the NFL MVP, he cares about winning the Bills a Super Bowl
‘Appearing on The Facility on FS1, Allen was asked if he was focused on winning an MVP award. The answer he gave makes him even easier to root for than he already was. “I think the only reason I would say yes is because that means we’re a playoff team,” Allen said. “If you ever talk about MVPs it’s because their team is probably the one or two seed. If you’re getting votes, you’re probably in the playoffs. So that’s the only reason I care about it. I could give two you-know-whats about winning the MVP. The only thing I care about is raising a Lombardi Trophy here in Western New York.”‘
