‘”He made plays kind of like you’re seeing now,” Marrone said. “I’ve always though that he was a very, very talented player. He’s a big guy, big target, can run across the middle, catch the ball, difficult to get down and tackle.’

‘If they want respect, they need to earn it. At the moment, they’re merely one of 11 AFC teams with winning records. The next four games should separate the playoff contenders from the frauds.’

‘”We obviously are looking and have opinions of the employees at the Buffalo Bills, and, again, like the Sabres, it’s very positive because Buffalo people seem to be hard workers,” Terry said. “It seems like a lot of people in the organization are hardworking people.”‘

‘She shared her thoughts on being an NFL co-owner, her leadership style and the responsibilities in representing Buffalo on such a big stage. Her husband chimed in a few times, too.’

‘Watkins was told by the team to not speak to the media, even though he was in plain view of everyone at his locker. Watkins told Jonah Javad of our news partner, WGRZ-TV in Buffalo, that he hurt the groin while running routes against air, meaning not in the 11-on-11 portion of the practice, so it would seem to be a non-contact injury.’

‘His injury is worth monitoring throughout the week, but for now, it appears Watkins and the Bills may have avoided a serious setback.’

‘He also had a groin injury before the Bills’ most recent game two weeks ago against the New York Jets. He was listed as probable on the injury report and had three catches for 157 yards and a touchdown in a win over the Jets.’

‘”Doctors are still being doctors and being cautious,” Jackson said. “I have to see how things progress throughout the week.”‘

‘”We’re in very good shape for (Week 10 against the Chiefs),” Brandon said. “The Jets and the Browns games are really just at limited status at this point. So, (we) feel very confident heading into the rest of the year that we’re in very good shape on the ticket front, so we won’t have to worry about anything on that end.”‘

‘Any improvement starts with the offensive line, to this point the worst of any AFC playoff contender.’

‘”Well, there’s going to be a new stadium somewhere, that’s all I know,” Terry Pegula said. “The league was pretty emphatic that Buffalo, we’re a small market, needs to be as competitive as we can.”‘

‘Watkins didn’t show any noticeable signs of the injury in the team’s locker room following practice, but declined to speak to reporters.’

‘”He’s a leader,” Watkins said. “He makes the passes that he needs to make. He knows how to help us out on the field, put us in different areas. That’s what we need, a veteran quarterback.”‘
