Matt Barkley quietly playing lights out with Bills’ second-team offense

‘“It’s good to have Matt,” Bills coach Sean McDermott said. “I really appreciate, not only the way he played, but his work – his leadership on this football team – with Josh and (Tyree Jackson). That’s an important piece at the backup quarterback position. He’s done a real nice job to this point.”’

Bills Mailbag: Does Christian Wade have a shot at making the team’s active roster?

‘Give him a year to learn more about the game, and then we’ll see if he can contribute in 2020. Keep in mind that LeSean McCoy, Frank Gore and Senorise Perry are all in the final year of their contracts. There could be a spot for Wade down the road.’

Bills’ Josh Allen on assessment by oddsmakers: ‘Bet the over!’

‘Prop bets — wagers on events or nonevents that don’t necessarily affect the outcome of a game — are a rapidly growing segment of the rapidly growing sports gambling industry. And companies are competing to meet the demand, offering an ever-expanding menu of available wagers, ranging from those big-picture, seasonlong bets on individual players such as the Bills’ second-year QB, to granular options offered in-game, including whether a given drive ends in a touchdown or interception.’

How Josh Allen is finding Cole Beasley, dealing with challenges of the blitz

‘Attacking the middle of the field with Beasley will create open and easy throw almost all the time for Allen. Linebackers cannot play zone and allow him to catch easy passes in the holes underneath coverage. They also are not capable of playing man-to-man coverage on him. This is the quandary and the advantage he brings to the Bills’ offense. His skill set changes how teams will have to account for him, and if you don’t have a defender who can line up and cover him, he is going to be open on every play.’

Josh Allen wanted the ball first, Sean McDermott acquiesced, and away the Bills went

‘“Coach McDermott came up to me and I called the coin toss and I said, ‘We want the ball’ and he said ‘OK, let’s go get it,’” Allen said following the Bills 27-14 victory over Carolina. “From that point on we were ready to go.”’

Duke Williams thrives, Tyree Jackson struggles: 12 Buffalo Bills who helped or hurt roster odds vs. Panthers

‘Someone in Hollywood should probably start writing a script on Christian Wade.’

Buffalo Bills preseason 2019: 53-man roster projection following Panthers game

‘Through two preseason games, Tyree Jackson looks nothing like a NFL quarterback. He doesn’t belong on a roster at this time.’

Capaccio: Breaking down Cole Beasley’s night in Carolina

‘I broke down each of those five plays from the formation to Beasley’s route to what Allen did at the snap and with the ball.’

Allen on Sweeney: “He’s answered when his number has been called”

‘“Tommy’s been fantastic. He’s answered when his number has been called,” Allen told reporters after the game. “Obviously, he’s been forced into a lot of action with the (first team). He’s made some big plays for us already, you know, the thing he comes to work every day, ready to learn, ready to work, doesn’t complain just put his head down and goes. So, I really appreciate what he’s doing, and the results are showing for it.”’

‘A’ to ‘B’: Allen to Beasley proving to be a great connection

‘“And, just having that open line of communication where when we get on the field, we’ve talked about this. If the (Mike linebacker) is playing a certain way, I know he’s going to do this move, whatever it is, because we’ve talked about it a lot. That’s going to only continue to get better.”’

‘“I think I just remain the same player that I am. I’m confident every day I go out there on the field.”’
