‘A great way for the Bills to not let the Titans control the game on the ground is to get up early on them and make Tennessee play from behind. With AJ Brown now in Philadelphia, the Titans don’t have a true number one wide receiver, and will rely on rookies Kyle Phillips and Treylon Burks quite a bit. It will be increasingly difficult for them if the Bills make them one-dimensional and know they have to throw the football.’

Bills, Titans both dealing with injuries to starters
‘The Buffalo Bills held a walk-through practice on Friday, but defensive tackles Ed Oliver and Tim Settle, as well as cornerback Dane Jackson all were listed on non-participants once again as the team prepares to face the Tennessee Titans on Monday Night Football at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park.’
Listen: McDermott: “It’s an honor and a great opportunity to play in games like this at home in front our fans.”
‘”The schedule is different were used to these seven day, pretty routine based weeks, and getting ready for that game and then the time between that game and this next game was a little bit different then were used to,” said McDermott while chatting with Sal Capaccio and Joe DiBiase.’
Bills still without Ed Oliver, Tim Settle on Thursday
‘While both Oliver and Settle didn’t participate in the media-open portion of practice, both were standing with their position group and watching.’
Listen: Fina sees Von Miller as future Hall-of-Famer
‘”I love his ability to slow play and accelerate, and he has the perfect mix like Charles Haley of quickness and strength,” Fina said.’
Ed Oliver, Tim Settle both miss Wednesday’s practice
‘Oliver is dealing with an ankle injury he suffered in Thursday night’s 31–10 win over the Los Angeles Rams. As for Settle, he was also injured in the game, but his injury is undisclosed at this time.’
Isaiah McKenzie: “This offense is special”
‘“I would say I’ve grown tremendously whether it’s running routes, catching the football, learning defenses learning the plays on offense. I feel like every year I’ve gotten better with my game.” McKenzie said.’
Bills kickoff 2022 season in style winning 31-10 over Super Bowl Champs
‘The offensive problems for Los Angeles continued as the fourth quarter went on when Jordan Poyer picked off a pass by Stafford that was intended for Cooper Kupp. Allen and the Bills capitalized once again. This time Allen showed off his arm hurling an 53-yard pass to Stefon Diggs for the Bills third touchdown of the game. Tyler Bass made his third extra point attempt giving the Bills the 31-10 lead.’
Listen: McDermott: We knew coming in we had to be efficient offensively
‘”It’s just about one game. We came together in the second half and played good complimentary football.”‘
Listen: Allen: I play hard, I wanna win games no matter how I can do it
‘”Just trying to be smart with the football. Allowing our guys to catch and run.” Allen also said, “I had a couple plays that I wish I had back tonight, I think every game you’re gonna have those, but just allowing our guys to catch the ball in space and make some plays for us.”‘
Opinion: Bills toyed with defending Super Bowl champions
‘Josh Allen and the offense toyed with a Rams defense that should still be good despite losing Von Miller to the Bills in free agency. Miller and the Bills defense shut down the Rams offense and the pass rush was unstoppable. You couldn’t write a much better script.’
Opinion: Anxiety? What anxiety?
‘No offense to Howard, but apparently all I needed was to watch Josh Allen and the Bills offense march right down the field on the season opening drive, capped by a brilliant Ken Dorsey play call for an Allen to Gabriel Davis TD. Just like that, all the anxiety left my body.’
Opinion: Bills grades: Week 1 at Rams
‘If they want to succeed more in the run game, they don’t need to run it more, they need to run it better. That remains the case here. Allen and Singletary save this group tonight.’
Opinion: Capaccio: Arrow Up/Arrow Down: Bills at Rams
‘And if it weren’t for self-inflicted mistakes, the score would’ve been even much more lopsided than the 31-10 outcome everyone saw.’
Rookie cornerbacks Elam, Benford ready for opener
‘“I’m taking it one day at a time, where I’m locked in and focusing on my technique and fundamentals,” said Elam leading up to Thursday’s game in Los Angeles.’
