He’s going to do his best to keep us safe and all we can do is do the same.”‘
Bills Today | Are the Bills contenders or pretenders according to NFL.com?
‘Josh Allen’s immense improvement (+12.1 completion percentage and +37.4 passer rating from 2019) in Brian Daboll’s architecture, Buffalo’s continuity and high-level results from the O-line, along with the addition of Stefon Diggs, have resulted in the third-year quarterback boasting a sparkling touchdown-to-interception ratio (12:1) and the second-highest yards-per-attempt rate (9.0) in the NFL. This offense also ranks third in big plays (passes of 20-plus yards + runs of 10-plus yards), another metric of success that, if the trend holds, will be a big factor for the Bills beyond the regular season.’

‘All of this has sparked conversation about whether the NFL’s protocols to deal with the coronavirus pandemic are being followed.

Voice of the Fan: Brandon Beane and the Beane counters deserve our praise
‘The draft day trade in 2018 to move up to the No. 7 overall choice to select Allen was brave and brilliant. The Bills projected Allen as their top prospect, but most fans at the time were ecstatic that “Josh” was still available, and then were immediately gobsmacked when Beane said “Allen” instead of “Rosen.” Today, that idea seems laughable.’
