‘“Whoever’s playing, whoever the starter is — it could be at quarterback, receiver — I think you try to put things together that attack the weaknesses of the opponent. It could change, week to week, on what you want to do,” Daboll said. “But you try to attack all levels of the field, whether it’s vertically, horizontally, and you have those in your game plan every week. We executed them very well (against the Jets).”’

So much for playoff rematch; Bills and Jaguars are just trying to salvage pride
‘But the Jaguars blew a 16-0 lead, their struggling offense under former Bills offensive coordinator Nate Hackett completely shutting down and giving Steelers’ quarterback Ben Roethlisberger one too many turns with the ball.’
Bills’ Jordan Poyer on Rams vs. Chiefs: ‘Even if we won the game I’d be sick’
‘”I texted Micah (Hyde) last night and I was wondering if that was us – I’d be sick coming in here as a defense,” Poyer said. “Even if we won the game I’d be sick coming in here as a defensive player and having to watch the tape. There was a lot of big plays in the game and us as spectators, people as fans love to watch that type of game. But when you’re sitting back and watching the defense and seeing how things are breaking down, those are tough ones to bite.”‘
Bills’ Jordan Mills returns home during bye week to serve Thanksgiving meals
‘”It’s very special,” Jordan Mills said. “This is where I’m from. It’s a place that raised me. It’s a place that’s near and dear to my heart. Me and my wife Talasha wanted to start this foundation particularly to impact the kids and the youth in communities in Donaldsonville and Assumption Parish and give back to the people who paved the way. Words can’t explain how I feel. It’s a joyous and happy feeling.”‘
Jaguars’ Ramsey stands by ‘trash’ label for Bills’ Allen
‘”I think Allen is trash,” Ramsey said in the piece that was published on Aug. 15. “I don’t care what nobody say. He’s trash. And it’s gonna show too. That’s a stupid draft pick to me. We play them this year, and I’m excited as hell. I hope he’s their starting quarterback. He played at Wyoming. Every time they played a big school — like, they played Iowa State, which is not a big school in my opinion because I went to Florida State, and he threw five interceptions, and they lost by a couple touchdowns or something like that. He never beat a big school.’
Jalen Ramsey doesn’t back off after calling Josh Allen ‘trash’
‘”Everybody who knows me knows why I was so hard on him,” Ramsey said. “If you don’t know me, that’s on you. If y’all look deep into it, y’all can figure out why I was so harsh.”‘
Capaccio: Bills season now AAA: All About Allen
‘From there, it became Allen’s team, but a team that still severely lacked in areas they needed to improve to help him. Namely, wide receiver and offensive line. A wideout group that didn’t have much speed and was relying on the unreliable Kelvin Benjamin to still be their No. 1 guy. An offensive line that was struggling to open holes in the running game, partly because defenses didn’t respect the Bills’ downfield passing game. And who could blame them, despite having a QB with a rocket for an arm?’
Bills only two games out of playoff spot
‘”You never know what can happen with the rest of teh games this season,” safety Jordan Poyer said Tuesday. “If you look at the front half of our schedule, all of those games were really tough to play and now we’re coming back on the back half of the schedule with four of six at home. All winnable games if we just go out there and execute.”‘
Bills wowed by Rams-Chiefs, too
‘”Us as spectators, people as fans love watching that game,” Poyer said. “When you’re kinda sitting back and watching the defense and seeing how things are breaking down, those are tough ones to bite.”‘
Top 7 storylines for the Bills-Jaguars this week
‘“Brandon and I talked a couple weeks ago, and we thought we were lacking in the speed department on offense,” Head Coach Sean McDermott said this week. “That’s been an emphasis the last couple of weeks. You saw some of that against the Jets. That just opens things up a little bit, not only for the passing game, but at times, the running game. That’s not the only part of what we’re doing right now, but that’s some of what we’re trying to get on the field at this point.”’
14 questions with Bills Legend Terrence McGee
‘I think he’s still the toughest person to play [against] to this day – Tom Brady. I wouldn’t say a particular receiver or anything, [because] I feel like any receiver I played against if you had an NFL jersey on then you were good. I respected every receiver I played – no matter if he was just coming up from the practice squad. Tom Brady sticks out to me…’
Bills Today: Through injury Allen stayed engaged
‘“To tell you the truth, he never really got away,” Benjamin said. “He was here. He was always around. Stayed in meetings, stayed engaged. That was a good thing to see, especially from a young guy. He didn’t really tune out of it.”’
