Mark Gaughan: Josh Allen needs to channel Mr. Efficient over Mr. Superhero vs. the Jets
‘“You go through a season, it’s never a straight line in terms of the path to success, and you’ve got to go through the ebbs and flows of the season and manage them,” McDermott said when asked about Allen’s response to his 9-for-30 performance in Houston. “Sometimes it’s, hey, a gentle reminder of OK, this is the way that I’ve got to go about it. As you said, doing my 1/11th. And I know Josh is as competitive as there is, and we have full confidence in him, and I’m confident he’ll get back to doing that, and that’s important for us.”’

Davante Adams trade rumors: Buffalo Bills in final four for Raiders WR
‘Adams reportedly has shown the most interest in playing for the Jets and Saints as this would allow him to reunite with Aaron Rodgers or Derek Carr. The Jets recently fired head coach Robert Saleh. New York is likely the most desperate of the four remaining teams as GM Joe Douglas may be willing to go all-in to save his job. As for the Saints, the team could be without Derek Carr for a few weeks due to an oblique injury. Their interest could come down to how the team fares in his absence.’

Bills defense searching for ways to keep Aaron Rodgers, Jets under siege
‘“There’s more than the challenges with him of he’s an elite thrower,” Bills coach Sean McDermott said. “But there’s more challenges to Aaron than just that. It’s the mobility, it’s the mental part of the game, and just have so much respect for his game and what he’s been able to do over the years and how he’s done it. So he’s as good as there is.”’

Josh Allen shouldering the blame for Buffalo’s offensive struggles following 2 losses
‘“He’s got the weight of the whole city on his back, and he takes the losses very harshly. But it’s on all of us,” the sixth-year player said.’
Bills named top landing spot for WR Davante Adams
‘”In their two losses, Allen had less than 200 yards passing and was an abysmal nine-for-30 against the Houston Texans,” Weisman writes. “Adding Adams would give Buffalo a clear number-one wide receiver and take some pressure off the run game while giving Allen a dynamic wide receiver again.”‘
Bills may be without RB James Cook, WR Khalil Shakir vs. Jets
‘Running back James Cook will not be practicing on Wednesday, according to head coach Sean McDermott. Along with Cook, Khalil Shakir and Curtis Samuel will also not be practicing. Cook and Samuel are said to be dealing with toe and foot issues.’
NFL insider says head coaching candidates want the Buffalo Bills job
‘”I’ll say what I’ve said whenever this has come up over the past couple of years,” Graziano writes. “I have heard many on the outside speculate McDermott could be in trouble if the Bills keep failing to reach the Super Bowl, but I have never once heard from inside the Bills’ organization that moving on from his has ever been a consideration.”‘
Bills missing number of key pieces for Wednesday’s practice
‘Those who did not practice on Wednesday included wide receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle), defensive tackle Ed Oliver (hamstring), running back James Cook (foot/toe) and wide receiver Curtis Samuel (foot/toe).’
