‘Allen did speak to reporters after practice and said he and trainers want to make sure they “stay ahead” of the injury so it doesn’t impact him long-term. “Every day it gets so much better,” Allen said. “If I had to practice today, absolutely would have. If the game was today, I’m playing in the game.”‘

‘”When he went to Green Bay, the light came on for him. He started turning over some big plays, and he’s very instinctive,” said Beane during his press conference with the assembled media on Wednesday. “We talk about instincts all the time, and really defining instincts is more the coach can show you everything, but sometimes the team’s showing you something else that the coach hasn’t shown you, and do you react right away? You just instinctively know what to do, because you understand how it all fits together.”‘

‘In addition to being considered a very good zone defender and tackler, two traits that fit very well in Sean McDermott’s defense, Douglas is also known to be a vocal leader in the locker room.’

‘To make room for Fournette, the team has released defensive tackle Kendal Vickers.’

‘Buffalo’s other running backs on the roster are James Cook, Latavius Murray and Ty Johnson.’

‘Head coach Sean McDermott made some decisions on Thursday night that many will question, despite the win.’

‘The head coach added that tight end Quintin Morris (ankle) and linebacker Baylon Spector (hamstring) continue to improve. Both missed Thursday night’s game with their injuries. “We’ll see where they go with the days ahead here,” he said.’

‘That was better. The Buffalo Bills offense looked more like its usual self in Thursday night’s win over Tampa Bay, much to the delight of a fan base that had grown more concerned about its performances over the last three games.’

‘The Buffalo Bills defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Highmark Stadium on the national stage. Bouncing back after last week’s loss in New England against the Patriots.’

‘”It was [offensive coordinator Ken] Dorsey, the offensive staff, Josh [Allen], and the players on offense. They got into a good rhythm, and that what I’m used to seeing,” said McDermott following Thursday’s victory. “It was fun to watch.”‘

‘”Everything that we want is still in front of us,” said Allen during his postgame comments on Thursday. “You wish you were 8-0 at this point, you wish you were 7-1, you wish you were 6-2. The reality is that we’re 5-3, but we are going to continue to take it one game at a time, and we’ve got Sunday night next week against a really good [Cincinnati] Bengals team. We’ve got to be ready for them.”‘

‘Buffalo had a comfortable 14-point lead with less than three minutes left in the fourth quarter. Yet, the game still came down to one final Hail Mary pass.’

‘During his appearance on WGR on Wednesday, head coach Sean McDermott announced that tight ends Dawson Knox and Quintin Morris will not be available for the Bills on Thursday night due to injury. Knox underwent surgery to repair his wrist on Tuesday, while Morris is dealing with an ankle injury going back to the team’s Sunday night win over the New York Giants in Week 6. McDermott did not provide any sort of timetable for Knox’s return to the Buffalo lineup.’

‘”We have to play a better complimentary game like we did through the first four weeks,” said McDermott on Wednesday during his weekly appearance on the “Extra Point Show” on WGR. “I think we had 12 drives that started across the minus-40. That was due to getting off the field defensively and taking the ball away defensively, and helping our offense. Of late, we have faced ball-control offenses who aren’t willing to expose their quarterback, primarily the drop back game, and also expose the football. One of our strengths is taking the ball away and sacking the quarterback, so we’ve got to continue to figure out ways to get off the field and take the ball away, and feed our offense here:;

‘The defense may have injuries it cannot overcome to stay an elite unit. Matt Milano was the best player on that side of the football and his replacements have not come close to filling the void after three games.’
