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.’

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.”’

Rookie quarterback Josh Allen: ‘Every throw is on the table’

‘“I’m making throws where I don’t have to second guess, putting the ball where it needs to be, and when I’m making each throw, there’s no grabbing or pulling in there and it feels comfortable and fluid,” Allen said Monday. “Maybe two weeks ago I might’ve had a few throws where, ‘I don’t want to make this throw yet.’ Now, I definitely think it’s full game and every throw is on the table.”‘

Jaguars coach Doug Marrone ‘always very grateful’ for time with Bills

‘“I’ve been up there a couple of times already and I always have a great appreciation for the fans and the way the organization, everything that happened when I was up there,” Marrone said Monday. “I was always very grateful and very appreciative of it. It’s been a long time now, we’ve played those guys a couple of times and right now my focus is just on my team, because obviously we’ve got to play well enough to try to get a win.”’

Jaguars praise Marcell Dareus’ run defense, leadership since trade from Bills

‘“I think Marcell is playing as well as any defensive lineman (against) the run,” said former Jaguars tackle Tony Boselli, a commentator on the team’s radio network. “He’s not rushing the passer like he has in the past, and he’s not getting as many reps on third-down situations, partly because it’s not what they’re asking.”’

Kelvin Benjamin blocking out social media, trying to salvage something in last 6 games

‘“My first season like this,” he said. “I’ve learned a lot about myself though. I’ve been bombarded by everybody. Just push through, just fight, my strength, my mindset and my mental part is just: This is my low. . . . I’m able to push through it and still smile and come out and just work, be around the guys in the locker room. It’s a learning season for me, very much a learning season.”’
