Leonard Fournette’s patiently waiting for his number to be called by Bills

‘“I’m comfortable, up to speed,” Fournette said during an interview with The Buffalo News recently. “I’m ready, man. Just waiting on my opportunity. Of course, my first time really being in this position, so you know, I have my days. I think it’s humbling me, testing me, my faith and everything, but I’m getting better.”’

Joe Brady ‘brings a lot of juice’ to Bills offense

‘”You can’t be results-oriented in the sense of when you win, you handle it differently, and when you lose you handle it differently,” Brady said. “… We can’t change who we are,and our mindset and our approach because of the wins and losses. We have to understand that we just have to fine-tune some things and clean some things up.”‘

Von Miller’s status remains uncertain following arrest

‘At least for now, Miller is still on the active roster. Since their statement Thursday acknowledging the arrest, the Bills have made no public statement on the matter. Miller is still eligible to play Sunday, but I would be stunned if that happened.’

Ryan O’Halloran: What we’ve learned about the Bills during fall to .500 record

‘Entering Sunday’s games, the Bills were 2-6 in one-possession games (eight or fewer points), tied with New England for the most losses in the league (also 2-6). The best records were Philadelphia (7-1), Pittsburgh (6-1) and Kansas City (5-2). In the crowd of bad with the Bills and Patriots are the Los Angeles Chargers (2-5) and Arizona, Carolina and Tampa Bay (1-4).’

While out on IR, Bills’ Dawson Knox gets engaged

‘“I guess this is what the kids call a ‘hard launch,’” Knox wrote on Instagram. “I have found the one whom my soul loves. When you know, you know… and it was only a matter of months before I realized that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with this woman. She’s loved me at my worst, and helps sharpen me to be at my best. She’s a direct representation of God’s love, and I thank Him every single day for her.”’

Humble beginnings: Bills assistant coaches recall start of their journeys to NFL

‘Offensive line coach Aaron Kromer split a $24,000 salary with another assistant. Defensive backs coach John Butler was a bartender during his first year in the business. Tight ends coach Rob Boras went from attending fraternity parties with teammates to coaching them. Receivers coach Adam Henry served as a resident dorm adviser of sorts. And linebackers coach Bobby Babich and interim offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Joe Brady were late-in-the-offseason hires.’

Bills Mailbag: Team has a legitimate beef with officials after loss to Eagles

‘The Bills have a legitimate complaint after last week’s game. The disparity in penalties in the first half was egregious, as were some of the calls that should have been made, but weren’t, against the Eagles. I’m usually slow to blame officiating, but it would be incorrect to say it didn’t have an impact on the outcome of last week’s game. I’m not surprised Sean McDermott avoided commenting publicly on the subject – he risks a fine in doing so, and nobody wants money taken out of their pocket – but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Bills voiced their frustrations to the league behind the scenes. The obvious move to improve officiating would be to make them full-time employees, but this has been discussed for years and the league still hasn’t done it. Finally, no, I don’t think McGovern should have been flagged for holding on the play in question.’
