Josh Norman: Racism at One of Its Highest Points ‘Since Jim Crow’
‘“We need to find a way where we’re going to come together and sew that band-aid up,” Norman said. “No longer let it be a band-aid, no longer let it be a wound that’s there… we need a doctor to come through and [sew] that thing up, or else the next generation is going to carry it on.”’
Wilson: ‘I’m tired. I’m frustrated. When does it stop?’
‘“People are hurting right now. You can see that during the protests throughout the day. They definitely want to honor the memory of all those fallen. But, we’re definitely not going to accomplish the ultimate goal by rioting and looting and tearing up our communities. While I don’t condone the riots and the looting, I understand people’s pain and the trauma. Unfortunately, the looting and the riots are just a symptom of the bigger problem. People are just tired of the injustices that have been consistently and continuously experienced by people of color in this country. I think people are tired and fed up.”’

Eric Moulds ‘excited’ about the 2020 Buffalo Bills
‘”I’m excited about [the 2020 season]. Josh Allen has a lot of new toys to play with; and the thing for him is he’s going to have to manage those new toys. [Stefon] Diggs is going to want the football, [John] Brown, [Cole] Beasley, those guys are going to want the football. [Allen’s] going to have to be able to pick what guy isn’t being double-teamed, what guy is ‘the hot guy.’ I think as much as it is Josh Allen is going to have to manage that, it’s going to have to be the offensive coordinator that’s going to have to be the guy to get everybody involved.”‘

Tua Tagovailoa is the Bills’ biggest threat in the AFC East
‘Tagovailoa, when healthy, is a near perfect quarterback prospect. He’s accurate at every level of the field, he throws beautiful touch passes, he has lower body mechanics straight out of a football textbook, is able to read and understand how to beat opposing defenses, is a pretty decent athlete, and is given credit for great leadership qualities. The only thing to worry about him, and it’s a big worry, is his health.’

Jim Kelly Says Bills Are Favorites to Win AFC East
‘Even with Brady in New England, the Bills were on the cusp of dethroning the Patriots in the AFC East in 2019. Granted, the Patriots still beat the Bills in both of their matchups in 2019, but lost by a touchdown or less in both games. The Patriots held on to win the AFC East for the 11th consecutive season in 2019, but the Bills won 10 games and one of the two AFC Wild Card slots. They did lose to the Houston Texans in the Wild Card Round, but the 16-0 lead that the Bills had in the third quarter left you intrigued about the team’s potential moving forward.’

Allen working on ‘eliminating what the defense can’t be playing’
‘“Going back and watching the good, the bad, and the ugly from last season, and finding out, now that I’m talking with talk to Coach [Ken> Dorsey, and we’re able to do our virtual meetings, and just being able to watch some film and be like, ‘man, why are my eyes in this place? Why did I start to the left side when I knew it was cover-two and I should have started to the right?’ So, trying to find ways to eliminate those and eliminate what the defense can’t be playing, as opposed to trying to find out what they are playing.”’
