‘Some Bills players are already posting their helmet decals on social media.’

‘Even the most diehard Bills fan, wearing the 17 jersey and ranting on Twitter to anyone who questions Allen has some doubt. The 300 yard game is a stat and an overvalued one at that. But there is some validity to the criticism. There are times when the QB just needs to put the team on his arm and carry the game. Sure it’s great to be able to run and make plays, but it’s not easy to do that over and over again and survive in this league. Josh Allen needs to be snapping off passing to John Brown in the flat. He needs to be on target as Cole Beasley wins in the slot. And he needs to find Diggs down the field for big plays. He needs the defense to fear him in the pocket because he is going to pick them apart.’

‘”I would never admit it to you back then,” smiled Micah Hyde. “It was frustrating some of those years, to go out there. The defense playing well getting some turnovers for the offense and our offense went out there and struggling.”‘

‘Levi Wallace has also been dealing with a hamstring injury but has been a full participant all week at practice and will likely start across from Tre White on Sunday.’

‘”The guys that are on our team, I trust,” said Daboll. “They’ve gone through a thorough evaluation, in this case just training camp and meetings, but they’re here for a reason.”‘

‘”It kind of feels a little ‘college-esque’ in the sense that there’s no preseason games to go off of. Some guys don’t even have NFL tape, so you’re pulling up things from the archives of what they did a year or two ago in college, really.”’

‘What jumps out is Cody Ford, Daryl Williams, and Brian Winters are all listed at right guard.’

‘While the Bills will play without fans for the first two home games of the season, the NFL has mandated that teams use recorded crowd noise at 70 decibels, nothing higher or lower.’

‘”No one has higher expectations on themselves or on this team than me.”

‘”I’m still in shock,” said White. “I can’t put it into words. I have a lot of people and a lot of family that I can change their lives. That’s what I plan to do.”‘

‘With a much better grasp of the offense, Knox says he’ll be able to, “play faster.”‘

‘”We’ll be ready to go,” continued McDermott, “that’s our goal, I’m not into those…however you labeled it.”‘

‘With Dion Dawkins, Sean McDermott and White all receiving new deals this offseason, many fans are hoping Matt Milano is next. Beane ‘hopes’ that is the case but with COVID and future salary cap, the Bills GM couldn’t make any promises. “We love Matt Milano. He’s definitely in our plans,” said Beane. “We hope to keep him long term.”‘

‘It was an expected move as both players are veterans and did not have to clear waivers to sign back with Buffalo.’

‘In a surprising update, Buffalo sent rookie wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins to the injured reserve. The team says Hodgins is dealing with a shoulder injury. The rookie did wear a red non-contact jersey during some training camp practices back in mid August, but since then he had returned to his normal jersey.’
