Why Josh Allen is confident in return from elbow injury
‘“I definitely think it was (a good decision),” said Allen of sitting out the Jets game. “The difference I feel in the elbow right now compared to two weeks ago, it’s a very big difference. I’m making throws where I don’t have to second guess,” said Allen. “I’m putting the ball where it needs to be. When I’m making this throw there’s no grabbing or pulling in there. It feels comfortable and fluid. Maybe two weeks ago I may have had a couple of throws where I didn’t want to make that throw yet. Now it’s full game and every throw is on the table.”’

5 most interesting Bills to watch in the next six games
‘How the Bills utilize McKenzie on offense will be something to monitor moving forward. The speedy wideout has proven that he’s a threat with the ball in his hands. Perhaps getting the former Georgia Bulldog more touches will be a focus for Buffalo when it returns from its bye.’

Salary cap analysis: Bills are getting what they pay for on offense
‘The good news is all that money for those players (Marcell Dareus, Cordy Glenn, Tyrod Taylor, et al) will be off the books, and Terry and Kim Pegula can spend like crazy, rich baseball owners — if they want — in 2019.’
Vic Carucci’s Bills Mailbag: Allen’s ‘it’ factor, O-line upgrades and Barkley’s future
‘I’ve watched enough of him through offseason and training-camp practices, preseason games and his regular-season appearances to see a decent sampling of that elevated level of skill and competitiveness that separate good quarterbacks from great ones. I’m not saying Allen is great; that must be consistently demonstrated for multiple seasons.’

Vic Carucci’s Take Five: Bills need to see meaningful progress from Josh Allen
‘So far, Allen has shown he lacks the consistency and accuracy to match the lofty expectations of a seventh overall draft pick. He doesn’t consistently go through his progression reads quickly enough to deliver throws in a timely fashion. Balls that come out slow either don’t reach the receiver or fail to get to the receiver when he’s able to make a play after the catch.’
