Deep Ball Still An Issue For Bills Strong-Armed Josh Allen

‘”I definitely get the question. And trust me, I want to complete every pass I throw,” he added. “It’s something we’re working on, something that will happen over time. But it’s not like we’re throwing a bunch of deep balls during the game. We have a couple of opportunities. Obviously, it would be nice to hit those.”‘

McDermott’s message: “Play fearless”

‘“Coach sat us all down today and said, ‘play fearless,’ Allen said. “So to have that green light, and that confidence from him still, that means a lot. Not saying I’m going go out there and be reckless, those are two different terms for a reason. Just being very aware of what’s going on but not trying to be gun-shy about anything.”’

The mindset in drafting Allen over Rosen is still justified

‘Although many parts of Allen’s play has raised serious doubts about him as the Bills face of the franchise, this week’s matchup is still a reminder that between Allen and the fan-preferred Rosen, Buffalo made the right call.’

Bills prepare to take on Dolphins

‘McDermott talked about the challenge of getting the ball into rookie running back Devin Singletary’s hands more, “whatever it takes to win, that’s what we try to do, understanding and trying to put our best players in positions of strength. It sounds like a broken record, but that’s what we believe in and that’s what we’ve got to do and continue to do and in this case, whether it’s Devin or any other player, continue to put players in position to be successful.”’

McDermott wants offense to ‘play fearless’

‘“Going out there without thinking, just playing hard,” added wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie of McDermott’s message. “The penalties and things will come but we can work on those as long as we’re playing hard.”’

Bills coaching staff still confident despite offensive struggles

‘“To have that green light, that confidence from him still, that means a lot,” said Josh Allen. “Not saying I’m going to go out there and be reckless, they’re two different terms for a reason. Just being very aware of everything, and not being gun-shy about anything.”’

Bills crazy good healthy thanks to the people AND the toys

‘“The biggest thing is passion and commitment. I think our owners are the best. I think the people they employ love what they do. They care about keeping guys healthy and they’re motivated. They bring the juice and passion every day,” Trent Murphy. “One, it makes it easy to work with those people when it’s a long season. Two, they find a way to keep guys on the field.”’

Quick Hits | Josh Allen making adjustments in deep passing game

‘“I think he’s trying to make adjustments. I really believe that,” McDermott said. “The early part of the year we turned the ball over some, so he’s trying to make adjustments to his game. You learn through experience. You learn through scars and every scar has a story. So you want to build off of those stories. Never wanting to make an overcorrection, so we’re working on finding that sweet spot. We’ll continue to work hard at it.”’

Quote Sheet | Bills aim to play fearless in Miami this week

‘“Coach sat us all down today and told us to play fearless,” Josh Allen said. “To have that green light and confidence from him still means a lot. I’m not saying I’m going to go out there and be reckless, they’re two different terms for a reason. Just being very aware of what’s going on but not being gun shy about everything.”’

‘“We got two more wins than the rest of the world thought we were going to have this year,” said rookie defensive tackle Christian Wilkins. “Guys are starting to buy into Flores’ vision,” he said, “the team-first culture.”’

Bills seem to ignore obvious by ignoring ground game

‘Specifically, give it to Devin Singletary and allow him to show much more of the considerable explosiveness he has only been allowed to display in flashes. Keep giving it to him – with smaller doses of Frank Gore, whose 36-year-old legs are better for role-playing rather than a featured role, sprinkled in – until the opponent renders Singletary a nonfactor.’
