Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill throws some shade at Buffalo Bills roster

‘Hill told KCTV5 sports anchor Tom Martin that he uses the Bills in his Madden franchise league to even things out for being the best actual Madden player among his Chiefs teammates. Using the Bills, of course, means that Hill views Buffalo as the worst team in Madden.’

Tyreek Hill on the Bills? Only in the Chiefs’ team-wide Madden League

‘“I’m the commissioner,” Hill said. “I’m like the Roger Goodell of the league. I got to run the league. … I feel like I’m the best, so I play with the Bills. The Bills, they’re good, but they’re not, like, good. So I want to make the league fair. If I get somebody like the Chiefs, I’m gonna win all the time. I want to make the league fair for my teammates, you know.”’

Daboll: Josh Allen “grinding” on and off the field

‘“He’s still learning,” Daboll said. “He’s still learning and this was a really good week for everyone, myself included, coaches included, to really hone in on the routine, more than plays or anything like that. This is a week for him and he’s going to prepare like he’s the starter, go through the routine, figure out how coach McDermott handles Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays. Same goes for me being new, of learning how we do things here, the practice reps that we get, the time in between scout team where we can go work on some other things. It’s a good experience in terms of the routine for him and myself and all the new guys around here.”’

Daboll Hoping Allen Shows Week to Week Improvement Ahead of 1st Preseason Start

‘”Yeah hes still learning,” said Daboll. “This was a really good week for everybody, myself included, the coaches included to really hone in on your routine, more than plays or anything like that. This is a week for Allen to prepare like hes the starter, go through the routine. He can figure out how Coach McDermott handles Wednesday’s, Thursday’s and Fridays. The same goes for me, being new. Learning how we do things here, the practice reps we get, the time in between scout team where we can go and work on some other things. It’s a good experience in terms of the routine for him and myself and all the new guys around here”‘

Andy Dalton prepares for trip to Buffalo months after helping Bills make playoffs

‘Those donations continued to come in waves through the first week of January, totaling more than $300,000. But interestingly, the generosity didn’t stop when the Bills season ended in a Wild Card loss to Jacksonville. Over the next several months, Dalton says donations continued to come in, now totaling more than $450,000. As a result, the foundation has been able to double the number of grants given to families this year, Dalton said.’

LB Keenan Robinson chooses to retire

‘Robinson found it difficult to move up Buffalo’s depth chart at the linebacker position. He was largely relegated to second and third team reps through the course of training camp, after signing with the Bills just before training camp opened in late July.’

Bills Today: NFL Network analyst shares thoughts on Allen

‘“I remember when scouts were talking two years ago about this quarterback up north that we had to see,” said Rapoport of Josh Allen. “I knew he had a good arm, but he really slings it. I have seen some really good arms up close and in person, but it just comes out of his hand so easy.”’

Preston Brown eager for a chance to remind Bills of the one that got away

‘Brown’s former Bills teammates — several of whom are close friends he talks with on a regular basis — fully expect him to put on a show, if not with his play then certainly with what comes out of his mouth. Lorenzo Alexander, who was part of the linebacking corps with Brown the past two seasons, is certain there will be a good deal of trash-talking whenever Brown is on the field.’

Bills punters Jon Ryan, Colton Schmidt ‘fighting for their careers’

‘”I love both of them but I also feel for both of them, because they’re fighting for their careers,” Hauschka said. “That’s their job, and so one of them is going to have a job — and hopefully both of them have a job come this season — but it’s just, to be a part of that (competition), it’s very interesting. It’s a unique job that we have. I love both of them, and whatever is best for this team is what I support.”‘

Allen gets simulated ‘regular season week’ to prep for first start with Bills

‘“We really wanted for him to go through a routine of what it would be like for a normal, regular-season week, dealing with the potential distractions and all that goes with the quarterback position and learning how to balance that,” McDermott told reporters Wednesday. “AJ’s been through that before, naturally. Nate has been through it as well, so this was an opportunity as well for Josh for his first time.”’
