Vic Carucci’s Take Five: Allen’s return a wild card for Bills vs. Jaguars

‘Allen’s ability to play well enough to help the Bills win can be greatly helped by an offensive line that had one of its better showings of the season against the Jets both in pass protection and, especially, in opening holes that contributed to LeSean McCoy’s 113-yard, two-touchdown day. If McCoy remains at top form, Allen can thrive every bit as much as Barkley did and could very well end up with even better numbers.’

What Bills’ Kyle Williams told rookie Wyatt Teller to accelerate his development

‘”One day you want your weaknesses to be your strengths, right?” Teller said. “(I have to) Not be too over my toes, try to control my body a little bit better, stay off the ground – I was on the ground a little bit too much and not in a good way, you know? It’s good to be on the ground sometimes but it’s not too good if you’re not blocking anybody.”‘

Levi Wallace rises from undrafted to starter for Buffalo Bills

‘”I just wanted to get comfortable just like I was back at Alabama. Just trying to find my way through. I was joking with (defensive) coach (Leslie) Frazier earlier today. I said, ‘Once I find my rhythm, once I feel comfortable, you’re going to be in trouble.’ He started laughing at that.”‘

QB Allen (elbow) will start for Bills

‘Without Allen, the seventh overall pick of the 2018 draft out of Wyoming, the Bills (3-7) lost three of four games with Derek Anderson, Nathan Peterman and Matt Barkley playing quarterback during his absence.’

All systems appear ready to go for Allen’s return

‘While it’s almost a certainly Allen is going to start, the same cannot be said for several other key players. Here is the team’s official Friday practice participation report, as well as the game status for each player..’.

Friday injury report: Allen to start, Johnson, Lawson, Murphy all questionable

‘“It feels really good. The elbow is feeling a lot better than what it was,” said Allen. “To get out here and get time with our guys, start running plays with our offense, and really game planning for Sunday, it’s been awesome. Sitting out is no fun for anybody; I hate that part of this game of football, but it feels good to be back.”’

‘“I know one of the years in Carolina, I think it was 2002, we won four of the last five and the next year we took off and went 11-5. I’m not predicting that will happen, but I think a strong finish helps you,” Beane continued. “But even if we lose some of the games to some good opponents which we still have in front of us–you want to see us be very competitive and play well and if we lose, we don’t lose because we beat ourselves, we lose because we lost to a better team.”’

Bills Today: Micah Hyde: We have to play our ‘A’ game

‘“That’s how competitive the NFL is,” Hyde said. “You have to win the close games, and unfortunately, we haven’t been able to do that this year. I think for them, also, they haven’t been able to pull away and win the close games.”’
