Rochester Democrat and Chronicle

‘It is jarring to see the Patriots at 1-5, just the second time in Robert Kraft’s 29-year ownership tenure that this has happened, the last being 1995, long before Bill Belichick showed up. Bills fans are concerned by the lack of productivity from Josh Allen and the offense the last two weeks, but their struggles pale in comparison to the misery the Patriots are enduring right now.’

‘For the second week in a row the once-mighty Buffalo offense coughed and wheezed for the better part of three quarters before waking up just in time to score two fourth-quarter touchdowns, just enough to squeeze out a win because the defense stood tall in some key moments and held the Giants to three field goals.’

‘Dorsey’s insistence on using Allen in the shotgun is becoming a problem because it’s pretty clear that the Bills run the ball better when Allen is under center, and when he’s under center the play-action game is a little more effective, too.’

‘Sal’s prediction: Bills 34, Giants 13.’

‘Network TV: NBC. The game will be available locally via the following stations: WHEC (Channel 10, Rochester), WGRZ (Buffalo area), WSTM (Syracuse area), WKTV (Utica area), WETM (Elmira area), WNYT (Albany area), and WBGH (Binghamton area).’

‘Ryan let it be known right away in OTAs that it would be a three-man competition right through to the end of training camp, and that spring and summer, it was. All three had their chances, and Taylor emerged as the clear-cut winner. And he held that job for most of his three years with the Bills, starting 43 of the 48 games the Bills played.’

‘“UK police are on it but it’s a sad world,” Reed tweeted. “Emergency passports were acquired. Feeling unsafe & violated. Can’t even stay in hotels safely anymore. Need to be better people.”’

‘“Yeah, it was a journey, it was a journey,” Ingram said Wednesday following Buffalo’s walk-through practice. “But that’s pretty much been the story of my life, really, just kind of waiting my turn and then when I get the opportunity, capitalize on it and just make the best of it.”’

‘“There’s a lot of guys in the league that have that same fire that don’t get talked about. He’s a lot of our juice on the sideline, making sure the offense is staying up and as energized as possible and we feed off of that.”’

‘The Bills’ defense has been outstanding this season, but missed tackles have been an issue for this team going back a few years and Sunday, they were egregiously bad.’

‘Daboll was riding high in 2022, his first season as head coach in New York, as he led the team to a surprising NFC wild-card appearance and then a stunning victory over the Vikings before they were thumped out of the playoffs by the Eagles. But this season has been a disaster for the G-men.’

‘The Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars traded haymakers for 60 minutes and the Bills came out the far more battered and bruised team, both on the scoreboard and in the medical tent.’

‘I thought Jags coach Doug Pederson out-schemed McDermott in several areas. The Jags defense had answers for almost everything Allen tried until the fourth quarter. And his offense also did a great job on third down – 10-of-17 – on the way to 29 first downs and 38 minutes, 12 seconds of possession time.’

‘Bills players and head coach Sean McDermott was asked if they should’ve taken their Transatlantic flight sooner, and if fatigue contributed to the stagnant start.’

‘Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen yelled out “LeBron James” twice during an audible in the second quarter against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. The audible could be heard on the NFL Network live broadcast.’
