Bills’ lawsuit against Rachel’s sheds light on the cost to partner with team
‘Rachel’s was on the hook for almost $528,000 over the life of the three-season contract, according to the lawsuit. That includes $47,750 in additional fees Rachel’s was required to pay because the Bills played in seven playoff games during that time, according to the team. It’s another example of a company taking on more than it can chew in an attempt to partner with the Bills. In Rachel’s case, it signed its partnership deal with the Bills before embarking on an unsuccessful expansion into other markets that saddled the restaurant chain with debt that it has been struggling to repay.’

Cooper could be short or long-term solution for Bills
‘On paper, it’s a significant price for what could be a three or four-month rental. But if Cooper plays well in Buffalo’s offense, and catches on with Allen, the Bills have much more cap flexibility in the offseason to work on a new contract.’
Interception-free Josh Allen’s patience will be tested when Bills face Titans’ top-ranked defense
‘On Sunday, though, Allen faces an enigmatic Tennessee Titans defense that will test his patience more than any other defense the Buffalo Bills have faced this season, despite having played three of the top-five defenses in the NFL over the last four weeks. The Titans don’t force turnovers nor do they hit the quarterback often, but force quarterbacks beat them with short throws, trading field goals for touchdowns.’

How much of an impact will Amari Cooper have on Bills? NFL on CBS analyst explains
‘”He will have an impact,” Barber told CBS Sports Thursday. “I don’t know how big it will be early on with Josh Allen and that different system they are likely going to be running.

McDermott ‘happy to have’ Cooper in Buffalo
‘”It is a physical game, and you need to be a physical team, an aggressive football team. The way we position it is, hey, the ones that are pre snap, those are discipline, those are focus penalties. The ones that are post whistle, same as and those are the ones that we declare as non negotiable, absolutely non negotiable.

The ones that happen after the ball snapped and before the whistle, if those are aggressive penalties, those are going to happen from time to time, but those other ones that I already outlined, those are, those are non negotiable.”‘
Opinion: It’s good to be home
‘The Bills might have a big day from the left side of their pass rush come Sunday. The Titans benched starting right tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere after the fourth game. Leroy Watson IV was a little better last Sunday against the Colts, but if/when Greg Rousseau is on the left side, it could lead to multiple sacks.’
