‘or what should be one of the most electric home crowds at Ralph Wilson Stadium in recent memory, the Bills have a humongous opportunity to declare that their Week One win wasn’t a fluke. The play of the defensive line will set the tone for the Bills, but the team’s running backs need to be able to get into the second level against the Miami defense in order to have the necessary success for the Bills to obtain a victory. Make no mistake, this will be a tight game between two evenly matched teams. If the Bills get a couple of turnovers early in the contest, the Dolphins might not be able to hear themselves think inside the Pegula-charged crowd inside Ralph Wilson Stadium.

It’s an easy read, but at the same time you still need to see it pre-snap because it happens so fast.”‘

‘The drummers’ uniforms consist of Bills game jerseys that carry the name “Stampede” and the numbers of Wall of Fame players, worn with knee-length shorts. As the season progresses, the drummers will turn to sweatpants.’

‘”It’s unlikely, but it’s not impossible,” said Dimitris A. Pados, a professor in the electrical engineering department at the University at Buffalo who specializes in communication systems.’

‘”This suspect took $600 from the undercover officer, provided a receipt and gave her two fake Buffalo Bills tickets for this Sunday’s game,” said Dennis J. Richards, chief of detectives. The forged tickets appeared to be real, police said.’

‘”Elected leaders are happy to shake Terry Pegula’s hand and embrace his purchase of the Bills and his investment of Buffalo, but on the other hand they virtually have condemned this process, this technology that he has made his fortune in,” said Karen Moreau, president of the state Petroleum Council, a top gas-industry lobbying group in New York.’

‘”Just to stay out of that area and act like I’m still gone,” Williams said. “There’s still a couple of my family members that don’t even know that I’m out here, just think I play for the Bills but live in Tampa. I don’t know how they think that.”‘
