‘”He’s kind of a below-the-radar guy,” McDermott said with Sal Capaccio. “He’s very humble from a personality standpoint, but he also has a great way about him, in terms of he’s got the ‘it’ factor. He has a great way of influencing the locker room, he’s very positive, he has a good feel for the game instinctively. I mean, he’s won games. So he’s got that ‘it’ factor that you look for and his teammates play for.”‘

‘Bills head coach Sean McDermott called his starting quarterback “day to day” on Wednesday, and left the door open for Allen to still possibly play on Sunday when the team hosts the Minnesota Vikings.’

‘Allen wasn’t the only player not practicing on Wednesday, as neither linebacker Tremaine Edmunds or safety Jordan Poyer were on the practice field. McDermott called both players day-to-day, and said the same for cornerback Tre’Davious White, who was on the field.’

‘NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport tweeted on Monday that Allen’s injury is expected to keep him limited in practice this week, but that more tests would be conducted.’

‘The Bills lost this game because their passing offense vanished in the second half. It actually started midway through the second quarter after the Bills put together their best drive of the game, a 93-yard touchdown drive that gave Buffalo a 14-3 lead with six-and-a-half minutes left in the first half.’

‘The defense did their job on Sunday against the New York Jets, and a lot of my frustrations are centered around an offense that, for six-consecutive quarters now, has looked like a shell of itself.’

‘The Bills played a very uncharacteristic game, once again, that saw quarterback Josh Allen throw two interceptions and have an overall bad day through the air.’

‘McDermott noted another problem was a lack of variety on the offensive side of the ball and that the team was too one dimensional. “I felt like we got a little bit too one-dimensional at times, and they’ve got a good defensive front,” McDermott said.’

‘”Its the NFL these guys that were playing are a good team too. They get paid just like us. Away team facing a crowd, we let them get into it with the play that we had. We made some mistakes tonight, I made some mistakes tonight, and that can’t happen.”‘

‘For the second week in-a-row, the Bills’ run defense was far too leaky, allowing 174 yards on 34 carries for a 5.1 per-carry average.The Jets were especially effective in the second half running the ball, gaining 112 yards and averaging 5.2 yards per-run.’

‘According to Pro Football Reference, the Bills have only blitzed 14.7% of their team’s defensive snaps, second-fewest in the NFL. However, despite that rate, they are fifth in the NFL in sacks per pass attempt, getting to the opposing QB on 8.9% of their dropbacks. They’ll want to keep getting pressure on Wilson and force him into the same mistakes he’s been making.’

‘“He offers the flexibility that we value,” said McDermott during his weekly appearance on the “Extra Point Show” on WGR. “On top of that, he seems, to me, at this point, a tremendous human being of high character.”’

‘Safety Jordan Poyer and linebacker Matt Milano both missed their second straight day as Poyer deals with an elbow injury and Milano an oblique injury.’

‘Neither player practiced during Wednesday’s practice. Milano wasn’t present at all during the media-available portion of the session, while Poyer was off to the side working with trainers.’

‘The Bills will have Hines under contract for the rest of the 2022 season, and two more years after that with an out clause after this season.’
