Two Bills Drive

‘The Bills are the better team, but this is going to be a tough game. Bills, 24-17.’

‘I’ve not noticed Hairston a lot, and that’s not meant as an insult. In fact, it’s the opposite. When you don’t hear a cornerback’s name called much, it usually means he’s not being targeted a lot by the opposing quarterback.’

‘Tasker excelled on coverage of punts and kicks, recording seven blocked kicks and catching nine TD passes as a receiver on offense. He helped Buffalo win four straight AFC title games before losing in the Super Bowl and made seven Pro Bowls in his 13-year career.’

‘As remarkable as Allen’s performance was in this game, the Bills shouldn’t try to replicate the model this game followed. Surprisingly, the Bills as a team won this game while losing the turnover differential (minus-1), rushing for fewer yards (202-98), and while possessing the football for 10 fewer minutes than the Buccaneers (35:07 to 24:53). The Bills also had more penalties (seven) than the Buccaneers (two).’

‘The Bills already have raised $245 million by selling PSLs at the new stadium – almost 10% more than the $225 million the team expected to raise – and there are still plenty of PSLs left to sell, which will further increase the final tally.’

‘And it doesn’t appear likely to happen anytime in the coming years, either. To extend the Metro Rail from Buffalo to Orchard Park would also likely come with a cost of more than $1 billion.’
