Bills fans won’t find anything to criticize in McFarland’s take on Bills

‘“I judge him based off some of these other young quarterbacks,” McFarland said. “I think that the sky is the limit for Josh Allen. I think that when you look at the total package, he’s got the athletic ability, the size; he’s as tough as a bag of nails. He’s going to always be unconventional. He’s never going to be a 75% completion percentage guy from the pocket, but he’s also one of the better playmakers in the league. I just think he’s gotten better, and it is only Year Two, man. He’s got a long way to go but he he’s definitely coming.”’

The Bills prepare to meet their franchise destiny in Texas

‘Everyday fans of both the Bills and Texans visited Castro, a kindred spirit, in the MD Anderson Cancer Center. Ed Oliver – the first round draft pick from Houston who quickly made an impact with the Bills – came up to see him.

No matter the personal journey, every Bills fan is known for their fandom. The charging Buffalo has become a sign of not only who we are – but what we stand for – for better or worse.’

Although they’ve never played Texans in postseason, Bills have playoff history with Houston

‘Ask any professional football fan in western New York or the greater Houston/Nashville area who are of a certain vintage about “The Comeback’’ and “The Music City Miracle’’ and they’ll know. Their eyes will light up like a can of Sterno under a pan of chicken wings or barbecue ribs. Or sink to the ground should they remember those famous games as “The Choke’’ and “Illegal Forward Pass.’’’

2020 NFL Playoffs: 5 players/match ups for Buffalo Bills that’ll determine outcome vs Texans

‘According to Pro Football Focus, Devin Singletary has produced .24 missed tackles per rush attempt this season. That mark is good for third-best in the entire NFL among qualifying running backs (h/t Dean Kindig). He also has the second-highest rate of 10- or more yard runs (16.4 percent). The Texans are one of the worst defenses in the league against the run, allowing 121 yards per game this season.’

Buffalo Bills CB Tre’Davious White downplays DeAndre Hopkins slight; known to keep social media receipts

‘But shortly after posting the throwback picture to last season’s game between the teams when Hopkins caught a touchdown pass with White covering him, the All Pro pass catcher deleted the post. On Thursday when asked by reporters what he thought about Hopkins’ post – which included a caption: “2020 mood” – White said he’s focused on playing his game on Sunday and downplayed the individual match up.’
