Josh Allen’s debut shows Bills’ failure to plan around QB position

‘And they don’t have a defence that will erase some of Allen’s mistakes, keep them in the game and give the rookie a short field to work with. The Bills have been outscored 78-23 this season with the 78 points being the most they’ve given up in their first two games since 1970. This is also the first season the Bills have started 0-2 since they started 0-8 in 2010.’

After Further Review: Vontae Davis walked out on Bills … but do you blame him?

‘That franchise is in crisis, and it does no one any good to pretend it isn’t. The quarterback mess was reference here last week; it hasn’t gotten measurably better, certainly not during the 31-20 beatdown at home by the Chargers that wasn’t as close as the score indicated. Coach Sean McDermott’s explanation (or refusal to give one) for switching from Nathan Peterman to rookie Josh Allen made as little sense as his attempt last year to justify benching Tyrod Taylor for Peterman.’

McDermott commits to Allen for foreseeable future

‘“We’re going to go with Josh,” McDermott said at his weekly Monday press conference. “I thought he did some good things, and he’s a young quarterback. Each game we expect him to get a little bit better and grow. So, that’s where we are as a football team and that’s where we are as an organization right now.”’

McDermott: “Nobody said this was going to be easy”

‘”Nobody said this was going to be easy. We are going through the process right now. There are lots of young players on this roster who are getting a lot of playing time; valuable playing time, at that. A lot goes into that in terms of their development. We will continue to take it one week at a time, put our best foot forward and continue to grow and develop.”‘

Report: McCoy has cracked rib cartilage

‘Later on Monday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter added to Rapoport’s earlier tweet, saying that McCoy has cracked rib cartilage, which will likely leave him as questionable for Sunday’s matchup with the Minnesota Vikings.’

Short and sweet

‘If I were more creative, I would’ve crafted those sentences into a haiku.’

At long last, the Buffalo Bills rebuild is here

‘They fixed the salary cap by taking the dead money medicine in 2018, and are set up to make some moves in the offseason with a ton of cap space. They’ve also re-tooled much of the staff around the building for a less leaky, and a much more communal team.’

Buffalo Bills fans just can’t stop pile-driving tables

‘According to deputies with the Erie County Sherriff, at least two people body-slammed through tables before or during the Bills/Chargers game at New Era Field in Orchard Park. One person was ejected from the premises, and their name was reported to team management. Another person was able to evade authorities.’

LeSean McCoy injured rib cartilage

‘ESPN’s Adam Schefter cited a source, saying McCoy has cracked rib cartilage, making it uncertain if he’ll play against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.’

Sean McDermott: 4 Notable Quotes

‘Well this is a process, number one. The Vontae situation, look his actions have spoken. He’s retired, so that’s a separate issue, okay? And in terms of the play calling part of it, we’re going to do what we feel like we have to do to win games and improve. We look at every corner to improve, whether that’s play calling, whether it’s fundamentals or technique, we all have to do our job better. Again, we have some young players out there. A young quarterback, a young middle linebacker that there best days of football are ahead of them, and they’re going to continue to get better and continue to grow, continue to learn.’
