Voice of the fan: Josh Allen is cooking, and the Bills’ 3-0 start has been downright delectable
‘Beane has now prepared quite the bill of fare: a fusion of one of the best offensive lines in the league, re-signing right tackle Spencer Brown, who has yet to allow a pressure in three games, and having endless mid- and late-round draft picks and free agents step up whenever necessary.’
Ravens the 1st of 3 straight big Bills tests
‘But if the first three weeks weren’t the most difficult, the next three should put that perfect record to test: all on the road, all against three opponents it’s easy to envision in the playoff field come January. If they get through the next three at 6-0, or even 5-1, it’ll be easy to anoint them as AFC favorites, or at least on par with Kansas City.’
How a phone call led to the Bills bringing back a coach who’s meant everything for their offense
‘“I got a call from Sean, and he asked me about Aaron,” said former Bills Pro Bowl center Eric Wood. “I was like, you guys will get along. And I think he’s the best offensive line coach in the league, and I think you should hire him.”’
Bills OL Alec Anderson carving a niche as a jumbo tight end, but when will he catch a pass?
‘Over the last three seasons, Anderson has gone from the practice squad to making the 53-man roster last year — but didn’t play in a regular-season game — to now being the team’s most versatile backup. An offensive tackle at UCLA, Anderson is listed as Buffalo’s primary backup at left guard, right guard and center and even played five snaps at left tackle when reserve Tylan Grable injured his groin late in the game Monday.’

Comparing rushing styles of Ravens’ Lamar Jackson and Bills’ Josh Allen: QBs terrorize defenses in unique way
‘The two players will also always be connected because they are, arguably, the two best running quarterbacks in the NFL. Jackson might already be the best overall rushing quarterback in NFL history, while Allen might be the best at his specific style of running. The two players, while both elite in the run game, go about their running in very different ways.’
2018 QB draft class: Where Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson rank among impressive first-round quarterback haul
‘The Jets’ biggest concern with Allen vs. Darnold came down to trusting Allen’s accuracy. Darnold had separated from Rosen as the best pure pocket passer in the class. Once Mayfield was gone, Darnold lined up for them.’
Josh Allen is ‘world’s biggest toddler’ according to former Bills running back
‘”Josh is literally the world’s biggest, strongest, fastest toddler,” Harris said. “He’s so playful. He loves to joke. He loves to have a good time. And when you’re a guy that talented and that can win you games at the level of Josh Allen can, relax and be a little bit loose, that’s the way you’re got to ride.”‘
McDermott: ‘We’ll have a challenge in front of us’ on Sunday against Baltimore
‘”They bring a unique challenge, previous to Derrick Henry even arriving, and now, thought they made a heck of a strategic move of going to get Derrick Henry,” said Bills head coach Sean McDermott during his weekly appearance on the “Extra Point Show” on WGR. “That combination, along with what they already had, [Mark] Andrews and the tight end [Isaiah] Likely, and now with their wide receivers as well, [Zay] Flowers in particular, I think they’re the No. 1 ranked offense in the NFL, yards-wise. They’re really good, and we’ll have a challenge in front of us on Sunday night.”‘
Bills Make Me Wanna Give: Mack Hollins brings giving spirit to new NFL team

Carucci Take 2: Superior Bills don’t need to reinforce top-flight status vs. the Ravens
‘Before the season, the Ravens were viewed as a leading Super Bowl contender and had fewer blemishes than a Bills team transitioning at multiple positions and on the coaching staff.’
Bills fans headed to Baltimore
‘”I go to probably two or three road games a year. I’m a season ticket holder, and you know, and it’s fun to see all the Bills fans on the road. We travel well, and it should be a great time,” said Bills fan Robert Wood. “I thought that they’ve come off with a pretty good start. I didn’t think we’d be 3-0, but, yay, it’s a great start and looking good this season.”‘

‘Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott has officially ruled out CB Taron Johnson (forearm) and LB Terrel Bernard (pec) for Sunday night’s game in Baltimore.’
How the Bills’ defense has survived – and even thrived – despite the loss of five All-Pros
‘“How do they get past losing all those guys? The linebackers go down, I’m like, ‘This is going to be tough for this defense, and they’ll have to outscore everybody.’ But they’ve shown up and they’ve played Buffalo Bills football. That’s what we see in the league: When teams build a culture, no matter who’s in the game, no matter what players come through, they have the expectation and standard. Buffalo has created that.”’
