‘”I think the league will do its job,” Bills coach Doug Marrone said Monday. “Obviously, it’ll be something that has to be addressed.’

‘It’s a quick identification of man coverage across the field, and a spot-on throw to Chandler that goes for a good gain. Orton is an improvement when it comes to recognition of the defense. He’ll frequently make a good read, more quickly than Manuel. He’s not thought of as a franchise QB, but the proof is in the pudding.’

‘It’s an alarming trend around the league. Older stadiums are being replaced with newer, fresher and modernized facilities and since 2006, seven of the 32 teams have had a new stadium built. The Arizona Cardinals, Indianapolis Colts, Dallas Cowboys, New York Jets, New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers and soon to be the Minnesota Vikings all have joined the increasing trend.’

‘The Pegulas, as is the case with all changes in ownership with the league, will need 75-percent of the NFL’s current owners to approve them. As long as there aren’t more than eight dissenting voters, they’ll be approved and then will have the opportunity to vote on the remainder of the issues on the table for this group of meetings.’

‘ The Buffalo Bills today announced that the team has signed G William Campbell and DT Jeremy Towns to the team’s Practice Squad.’

‘With the season just about one-third complete, it’s safe to say concerns about Jim Schwartz replacing Mike Pettine as Buffalo’s Defensive Coordinator were misplaced. Buffalo’s defense finished 10th in yardage allowed in 2013. So far this, the Bills are 8th in the league in 2014.”
