  1. It was an overall encouraging performance that should provide hope for a further ascension.
  2. McDermott's Friday Presser at 11:20 AM ET today followed by practice at 12:20. Should hear updates regarding player availability for Sunday. Will post live Twitter and Facebook presser links as they become available: Buffalo Bills Video Live
  3. They'll likely be in that range when the dust settles on the season. In the interim, they certainly aren't focused on where they'll pick in the 2019 draft. Far too many examples of higher picks washing out while players selecting lower going on to have better careers.
  4. Who cares? Draft positioning doesn't guarantee selecting the best player.
  5. We hope that Edmunds gets better and he may very well do just that, but there's no guarantee. Just ask the Texans regarding Amobi Okoye who was very young when he came into the league with the 10th overall pick.
  6. ORCHARD PARK — If you’ve had the sense in the last few weeks that things seem to be trending in a positive direction for the Buffalo Bills, Sean McDermott — while not the least bit satisfied, mind you — would certainly agree. Sure, everyone is happier when you win, and spirits have been soaring at One Bills Drive thanks to the victories over the Jets and Jaguars. But it goes beyond those two positive final scores. There’s a renewed energy within the team, and an undeniable confidence that is building, and it’s a direct reflection on the contributions the Bills are getting from their youngest, and in some cases, best players. “You look around the league, there’s not too many Kyle Williams’ or Lorenzo Alexander’s in the locker room anymore,” said cornerback Tre’Davious White, the inference being that it’s unusual when a pair of 35-year-old players could still be playing as well as they are for Buffalo. “Teams are younger and we’re doing a great job with the quality of guys we’re getting. It goes to show the front office knows what they’re doing in how they’re scouting players and developing players.”

  8. It's a good comparison to make early in Allen's career.

  11. QB Rankings: Rodgers Slips Behind Rivers, Goff The NFL season began with the quarterback position looking deeper than ever and for once everything is going as planned. The top half of my quarterback rankings below is as strong as it's been since I started this exercise in 2014. Aaron Rodgers has 20 touchdowns with one interception and it's considered a down year. Cam Newton is on pace for nearly 4,000 passing yards and 32 touchdowns to go with his usual rushing stats, which would normally be good for a top-five showing. He's 10th. Baker Mayfield is having one of the best statistical seasons for a rookie quarterback ever and he's No. 15. Before he got hurt, Andy Dalton was on pace to top 30 touchdowns, which would've been good for the second-highest total of his career, yet he's right in the middle of the rankings, just like he always is. Stats are increasingly tricky to compare across eras, and eras can change fast. Nearly half the league's QBs are throwing for as many yards per attempt as Peyton Manning's career average. The best way to evaluate players is the same as it ever was -- compare them against their competition. Below is my best attempt at taking a snapshot of the position through nearly three quarters of the season, using weekly grades from GamePass watching. The next complete 1-32 rankings will take place after the regular season ends. NOTE: This is the Quarterback Index. The QBs are ranked based on 2018 play alone. The arrows reflect the changes since the midseason 32-man rankings.
  12. Bills Today: Tre' White: Everything is Clicking LeSean McCoy: "Get Some Easy Lanes" (1:42) RB LeSean McCoy talks about Dolphin's running back Frank Gore and how he hopes the Bills' recent success with the deep ball can lead to opening up lanes for the run game. Robert Foster: "I Needed to be Cut" (3:33) WR Robert Foster talks about being cut, making the most of his opportunities since returning to the active roster and more.
