Has the rivalry resumed with Bills-Dolphins?

‘And while there are those who say a rivalry can only exist if two teams are relatively close in ability, that’s not true. In a series where one team dominates, the seemingly perpetual victim’s fans always see it as a “rival” … an obstacle to be surmounted.’

Q&A: Gabriel Davis on giving back to the community, fishing and chasing hogs

‘Davis set records at UCF, and he likes to unwind by fishing. He spent time this offseason giving out backpacks full of school supplies to kids at the Pine Hills Boys and Girls Club’s Walt Disney World Clubhouse in Orlando. He teamed up with Disney and Nike to do so, and he is happy to admit that those kids were perhaps more excited to see Mickey Mouse when he showed up.’

We wanted normal; the Bills gave us normal

‘Some fans can be fickle – you read that here first. This fan, positive at kickoff, has morphed into negative. He punctuates his comments on the Bills’ performance with a word and its variants that can’t be written here.’

Can Bills’ Josh Allen continue dominance of Dolphins? (5 things to watch in Week 2)

‘This week, Allen gets to face the team that he has tormented the most in his career. Buffalo’s franchise QB holds a 5-1 record all-time against Miami which would have been 6-0 had Charles Clay not dropped a game-winning touchdown pass. In those six games, Allen has completed 64.4 percent of his passes for 1,552 yards, 17 touchdowns and four interceptions. He’s also added 340 yards and three scores on the ground against Miami. Allen has won AFC Offensive Player of the Week three times in six games against Miami.’

Bills’ Beasley, Ferguson Offer to Buy Road Game Tickets for Unvaccinated Fans

‘”If you find an away game you are able to go to then I will buy the tickets for you guys,” Beasley, one of the most vocal NFL players against vaccination mandates, tweeted earlier this week (sic). “DM me names and every thing snd I’ll figure out the best way to make it happen. Wish she could witness the mafia!”‘

McDermott: ‘We cannot afford to do what we did last week’ against Pittsburgh

‘”One of their great strengths is taking the football away,” McDermott said. “We cannot afford to do what we did last week. We put the ball on the ground four times. So we’ve got to continue to work on it. I’m speaking to the discipline of our team, the discipline in this case of our ball handlers… Discipline leads to good things, if handled the right way.”‘

‘“Up and down, you know like my body went through a drastic tragedy I would say. Every part of my body was battling so from being down at my lowest point and trying to be at my highest point in three weeks I mean I try my best. Being a pro your clock just has to be faster but you know I’m grinding at it every day. I’m not fully, fully, fully, fully, fully me but I’m still me,” Dawkins said after practice on Friday.’

Lawmakers call for transparency on Bills stadium negotiations

‘“As I said before, they’re going to be asking tax payers to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on a new stadium. They’re going to be asking me, as a legislator and my colleagues in this body to vote yes on a contract. We need to know what the contract is based on, where both sides are coming from when we make the final decision,” Legislator Joe Lorigo said.’

Bills gear up for first road game of the year

‘Buffalo opens as the three and a half point favorite against Miami, a team they’ve beaten in the last five head to head matchups, the recent of which was that 56-26 win last year. With a win, it’ll be the longest streak for Sean McDermott’s squad against the Dolphins since the late 1980s, but he knows this team isn’t one the Bills can treat lightly.’

‘”It’s not like I get any more fired up for them than I do any other game,” he said. “Our coaches do a really good job of game-planning. And there are games where we executed really well. So we’ve got to have a team mindset of just going out there, and whatever coach calls, we’ve got to put forward our best effort.”‘
