‘I know they have had an incredible amount of injuries that have taken stars off the field (Kittle, Jimmy G, Nick Bosa) but even with a compromised lineup the variance in their play has been substantial. They’ve beaten the Rams twice and lost to the Eagles. They blew out the Patriots in Foxboro and got blown out at home by the Dolphins. This isn’t the team that should have won the Super Bowl in February, but even with the changes you don’t know what you are getting week to week.’

‘The Bills love to be creative, but how do trick plays come to life for Buffalo?’

‘Klein had a career high 14 tackles and another 1 and a half sacks (career high 5 on the year) 3 tackles for loss and a pass defended to help the Bills beat the Chargers and move to 8-3 on the year. This week Matt Milano returns from injury which could impact the amount of time Klein is on the field against the 49ers. But the versatile veteran could also spend time paired with Milano and take snaps away from Tremaine Edmunds.’

‘”That’s a credit to them and credit to the coaches,” said McDermott. “It takes time to get comfortable with what we’re doing and the game of the NFL.”‘

‘McDermott added that he was encouraged by Milano’s rehab but would have to see how his pec would respond after practicing this week.’

‘”We feel if we go out and execute like we’re supposed to and take care of the ball like we’re supposed to good things tend to happen,” said Josh Allen.’

‘”Being in the right place mentally. Being around the right people,” said Diggs. “Limiting the distractions and part of that is being happy.”‘

‘”Kyle Shanahan is one of the best coaches in the NFL,” Poyer continued, “just the window dressing, all the stuff behind the scenes makes it really hard for defenses.”‘

‘The Bills head coach says it’s similar to what the team faced early this season during the COVID shutdown but joked, ‘the stakes are a little higher now.”

‘Under Sean McDermott’s defense in Carolina, Klein was a middle linebacker, now in Buffalo he’s on the outside. It might seem like a subtle move but it’s anything but.’

‘”I doesn’t matter,” said Sean McDermott on Monday. “Wherever they tell us to play, that’s where we’re going to play. We can’t control that.”‘

‘”We do our best to do our due diligence on plays that might have a chance that particular week,” said Daboll.’

‘”Our guys are improving, we’ve got a lot to work on but we’re heading in the right direction.”‘

‘There is an old saying in golf that the card is small , so there is room for a score not a story. But this isn’t golf. We can tell a story from this game. The offense made a lot of mistakes including turnovers, penalties and the inability to block Joey Bosa. That 4th quarter ended up being comical but it did not seem funny when they kept giving the Chargers the ball back.’

‘Buffalo turned the ball over THREE TIMES (two fumbles one interception) on their first SEVEN plays of the fourth quarter.’
