‘Once again, even after Sean McDermott made sure to note they had far too many penalties last week in Jacksonville, flags hurt the Bills. They were called for seven of them totaling 50 yards. But three holding calls each wiped out huge gains of 17 (run), 31 (pass), and 25 (pass) yards. That’s a total of 73 more yards of offense that were negated.’

‘Buffalo lost too many 1-on-1 matchups last week to the Jaguars, especially along the offensive line. There are different reasons for that, but a lot of it has to do with playing more physical from the snap to the whistle.’

‘“There’s gonna be games where it spikes like that, but we went overboard,” McDermott said with Sal Capaccio and “Sneaky Joe” DiBiase. “We are well-aware the crew this week has called the most penalties of any crew in the NFL, so it has to be an ongoing attention to detail for our football team.”’

‘Quarterback Jake Fromm and wide receiver Tanner Gentry will now revert back to the practice squad from the Reserve/COVID-19 list, while cornerback Cam Lewis was signed to a contract and added to the active 53-man roster.’

‘For the Jets on Thursday, five players were limited, including quarterback Zach Wilson, but head coach Robert Saleh has already announced that Mike White will start under center.’

‘Veteran New York Giants radio play-by-play man Paul Dottino will take over Murphy’s duties and call the play-by-play along the Buffalo Bills Radio Network. The rest of the Bills’ radio broadcast crew remains in the place with Eric Wood serving as color analyst and Sal Capaccio on the sidelines.’

‘With hopes of moving to 6-2 in 2021, the Bills struggled on the offensive side of the football to the tune of just two field goals, both in the first half. Buffalo was shut out after halftime en route to a miserable 9-6 loss to Jacksonville.’

‘Jacksonville’s defense gave up 21 touchdowns over the first seven games. The Bills never got into the end zone.’

‘Well, for starters, the Bills offensive line is in shambles. Who knew that losing rookie right tackle Spencer Brown would cause so many problems.’

‘The Bills were called for an astounding 12 penalties for 118 yards. Five of them were for 15 yards, including three unnecessary roughness calls, two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties, and a roughing the passer. It was the most penalties they’ve been called for in a single game since 2019 and most penalty yardage since 2018. It was one of the most undisciplined games they’ve played in years.’

‘This game is a tremendous opportunity for the passing game, and specifically Josh Allen, to take advantage of a poor secondary.’

‘Here is the final injury report and game designation for the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars…’

‘“You can see the skill. He can make every throw,” McDermott said during his weekly Friday appearance on the “Extra Point Show” with Sal Capaccio and “Sneaky Joe” DiBiase. “I’m sure he’s going to have a great career, and he’s off to a great start.”’

‘So far this season, Bass has accounted for 71 points, which is currently second in the entire NFL behind only New England Patriots kicker Nick Folk (76). However, the former 2020 sixth round pick (188th overall) out of Georgia Southern has scored the most points in the league (212) since entering the league last season.’

‘The wide receiver injured his back during the team’s 26-11 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.’
