McDermott's Monday Presser at 10:20 AM ET today followed by practice at 11. I'm expecting to hear further confirmation of Josh Allen being ready to start along with injury updates on Milano, Ivory, Taron Johnson, and Anderson. Hopefully we'll also hear about what the plan is for the open roster spot. After practice Josh Allen will meet with the media at the podium with other players being available for locker room interviews. Will post live Twitter and Facebook presser links as they become available: Buffalo Bills Video Live

No it isn't because player evaluations are just about looking at statistics with so much more that factors into the consideration.

Yes! So when the Bills pick up the phone and offer Matt Barkley in return it'll be a done deal.

Bills Today: Why Bill Polian Knows Bills Are ‘On the Right Path’

Barkley hasn't "earned" a thing as a guy who walked in off the street a few weeks ago and he isn't the future of the franchise as a career fringe backup who was out of football in 2017. He played a pretty good game against the Jets and people like you are losing their minds as if he played at a lights out Drew Brees level. Allen is the future and he needs game experience with no better time than the remainder of this 2018 season with the team going nowhere at 3-7. That's what should happen and it's going to as the youth movement on the team continues with 1st and 2nd year players taking on prominent roles toward 2019 and beyond.

6. Buffalo Bills | Jonah Williams | OT | Alabama Jonah Williams would be an immediate player on the offensive line as a long-term fixture protecting Josh Allen’s blindside. Williams is athletic and has very quick feet making him a very good pass blocker. He is powerful in the run game and should help open up holes for whoever the franchise back that Buffalo decides to roll with. 38. Buffalo Bills | Kris Boyd | CB | Texas. 70.

All-Star Officiating Staff to Work Rams-Chiefs Kevin Seifert, NFL Nation The NFL took the unusual step this week of assigning an "all-star" officiating crew to the most highly anticipated game of the season, adding to the playofflike frenzy for Monday night's matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Rams. Referee Clete Blakeman will work the game with only two members of his regular crew, umpire Ramon George and down judge Dana McKenzie. The other five officials -- including Jim Lapetina, who will handle replay -- were plucked from four other crews. The approach is similar to how the NFL assigns officials to playoff games, a process that is based on performance and seniority rather than crew. But it is rarely, if ever, employed before the postseason. Officials typically work on the same eight-person crews throughout the regular season to maximize continuity and familiarity among members. Two of the officials are normally part of referee Jerome Boger's crew. Boger was originally scheduled to work the game before Blakeman was called in, as first reported by NFL reporter Ed Werder and confirmed by ESPN. Referee: Clete Blakeman Umpire: Ramon George (Blakeman) Down judge: Dana McKenzie (Blakeman) Line judge: Rusty Baynes (John Hussey) Field judge: Dale Shaw (Jerome Boger) Side judge: Brad Freeman (Clay Martin) Back judge: Tony Steratore (Boger) Replay: Jim Lapetina (Brad Allen) Mahomes and Goff Open Up About Their High-Powered Offenses (3:17) Patrick Mahomes and Jared Goff discuss their electric offenses leading up to their big matchup on Monday Night Football.
