McDermott – We’ve been able to move the ball and play well in critical moments
‘”We’ve got to continue building a good, strong foundation the right way on both of those phases, offense and special teams, in order to get to where we’re trying to get to this year, next year and the year after, as we continue to grow and try to play better each week.”‘
Injury report: Matt Milano, Taron Johnson, Corey Thompson all questionable for Sunday

7 things to watch for in Bills vs. Dolphins and around the NFL | Week 7
‘“They’re going to the playoffs,” Brandt said. “Unless they have some sort of a terrible meltdown or a bad rash of injuries – the Bills are going to be in the playoffs. The question is – who’s the team they’re going to get?”’
Bills Today: Why NFL.com’s Gil Brandt believes in the Buffalo defense
‘McDermott is one of the top coaches in the NFL, and I’m feeling as confident as ever in my preseason prediction that the Bills will make the playoffs in 2019.’
‘I’m always looking:’ Brandon Beane in the spotlight as trade deadline approaches
‘“Your record does matter,” Beane said of his approach to the deadline. “I think you saw that two years ago. … We were looking for receiver help at the time, and so we took a shot there. Sometimes you’re going to take a shot and it’s going to work out great, sometimes they don’t all work out as you planned.”‘
Dolphins copy Darcy Regier tanking blueprint in quest to rise again
‘The two major, questionable moves the Dolphins have made since the opening week of the season were trading 25-year-old franchise left tackle Laremy Tunsil and 22-year-old safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, the 11th pick in the 2018 draft.’
News’ staff predictions for Bills-Dolphins in Week 7
‘The one thing lacking in the Bills’ 4-1 start has been a dominating, start-to-finish performance. This has to be the week.’
View from Vegas: Betting trends and prediction for Bills-Dolphins in Week 7
‘Two questions immediately come to the surface in this contest: 1) are the Bills really this good? and 2) are the Dolphins really this bad? The answers to both are not really, but don’t try selling that to the Bills Mafia or to the Miami Dolphans.’
Poloncarz, Dixon confident the Bills will remain a Buffalo franchise
‘Poloncarz said he did not think the team owners, Terry and Kim Pegula, would ever move the team, but the lease agreement includes a $400 million penalty if they do.’
Roth: Bills need to handle Dolphins to prove legitimacy
‘Earlier this week, Buffalo coach Sean McDermott channeled his inner Bill Belichick and heaped praise on the Dolphins as “a very good team.’’ They’re not.’
Bills could get TE Tyler Kroft back vs. Miami | What it means for offense, Josh Allen
‘If Kroft is a full participant in Friday’s practice it’s likely he gets the green light for Sunday against the Dolphins. Rookie tight ends Dawson Knox and Tommy Sweeney have been active every game this season and veteran blocking specialist Lee Smith has been a staple on a lot of run heavy sets. So if Kroft does suit up it’s likely that Sweeney becomes the odd man out.’
Buffalo Bills sign Ray-Ray McCloud to practice squad
‘In Carolina, McCloud appeared in six games. He did not see any receptions or rushes in Carolina, but served as the team’s return man. He had eight kick returns for 174 yards (21.8 YPR) and 10 punt returns for 82 yards. Unfortunately for McCloud, he dealt with fumbling issues as a punt returner. In two games against Tampa Bay this season, McCloud had three muffed punts.’
Buffalo Bills trade targets: A.J. Green, 4 others to pursue
‘Sitting at 0-6, Taylor and the Bengals should be looking ahead to the future as they look to rebuild their roster. And that rebuild will probably not include A.J. Green for a variety of reasons. Green’s age (31), contract status (UFA in 2020) and injury history top the list. Moving Green would also allow Taylor to continue developing younger talent like Tyler Boyd and Auden Tate.’
The Dolphins have a mission on Sunday: Find a way to bring down Bills RB Frank Gore
‘“He’s not only [good] talent-wise, but his mental game is also up to par,” Dolphins linebacker Jerome Baker said. “He might have gotten older, but his mind is still working at 110 percent. That’s really what separates him. He’s smart. He’s smarter than a lot of running backs that you have in the league.”’
