Bills Today | Where Bills fans can watch Josh Allen this weekend
‘”Going back and watching the good, the bad, the ugly from last season,” Allen said. “And finding out now that I’m talking with Coach Dorsey, we’re able to do virtual meetings and watch film, it’s like why are my eyes in this place? Why did I start to the left side when I knew it was cover 2, and I should have started to the right. So I’m trying to find ways to eliminate those and eliminate what the defense can’t be playing as opposed to trying to find out what they are playing.”‘

Inside the Bills: How this year’s ‘Embedded’ came to be
‘“So we enlisted (Brandon’s wife) Hayley Beane,” Matthews said. “She shot footage for us on her phone of Brandon making the calls to our picks. That was huge for us from that end of things. Some of the audio you hear in there or any of the times where he’s on the phone calling one of our draft picks, that’s shot by Brandon’s wife.’
Pollock: Thoughts on Bills’ Oliver, Williams, preseason slate
‘This has to be McDermott’s worst nightmare.

NFL analyst thinks Bills could be next great NFL dynasty: ‘Buffalo has roster to routinely compete for titles’
‘”My respect for Sean McDermott is well-documented. He received my AP vote for Coach of the Year last season. The Bills’ current culture of winning and accountability is excellent. And McDermott’s stamp is all over this great defense. Of course, most questions with this organization revolve around the other side of the ball — and namely, the quarterback. But don’t count me among the doubters.’
Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen or Jets’ Sam Darnold for best QB in Brady-less AFC East? Allen due to ‘superstar qualities,’ says NFL analyst
‘“Josh Allen has superstar qualities,” Simms told the NY Post. “I think if you’re watching the Bills and watching the last two years, yeah it’s a little raw and needs a little polish, but man he can make a lot of big-time plays and do things most quarterbacks in the game can’t do. He puts a lot of pressure on a defense. To me, that’s where he’s special. The stats aren’t really going to tell the greatness of Josh Allen. He really makes you defend the whole field.’
