‘If there was one negative, it is that Josh Allen was sacked once and exposed to a couple of other hits, which the Bills surely want to avoid during the exhibition schedule. Otherwise, it was a great start for Josh Allen in his new home.’

Don’t overlook Khalil Shakir. The Bills receiver is ascending | Lance Lysowski
‘“I feel like Khalil is one of the greater parts of the team and he can go unnoticed, but I feel like that’s something that only helps us out,” said right guard O’Cyrus Torrence. “That’s something we notice. Other teams may not look at it. Other people or the fans may not look at it, but we definitely notice Khalil is still one of the best guys on the team, one of the core guys.”’

‘“I was very excited for the opportunity,” he said, recalling the night he found out he’d be going to Buffalo. “Getting an invitation from the Bills, an organization that’s built on defense, built on winning and success, I think it was just a good opportunity for me to be a part of something great. So I just took it to the chin and prepared myself the best I could to come and help the team the best I could.”’
Bills Mailbag: Is a reunion with Von Miller a good idea?
‘I don’t see where Miller would fit on the current roster. The Bills have their projected starters at outside linebacker with Greg Rousseau and Bradley Chubb. TJ Parker, the team’s top draft pick, is behind them in the rotation. The fourth edge rusher could be Michael Hoecht, if the team determines he’s ready for the start of the season as he recovers from a torn Achilles tendon. If he’s not, the team added Mike Danna in free agency and also has returning veteran Javon Solomon.’

It’s the cheer we’ve screamed our whole lives. And now someone is trying to own it.
‘Celebrate Buffalo, the company seeking trademark rights, is a Buffalo-themed apparel shop that has operated since 2005. The owner, Joe Garlipp, said in an interview with WIVB that he originally began to seek a trademark after being told that the Buffalo Bills have the rights to the slogan, causing his merch to repeatedly be taken down.’

‘The new-look defense could not have gotten off to a better start as it dominated the Panthers, while Josh Allen and the offense looked like it was in midseason form in the preseason opener.’
Bills’ new Highmark Stadium field isn’t finished yet. Here’s what will change
‘The BILLS lettering in the end zones and charging buffalo logo at midfield are outlined in white for the preseason opener, leaving the natural grass visible inside the designs.

‘“When you get a new teammate, you’re like, ‘I want to show him why he’s here and what he can do with me,’” Allen said. “Sometimes that’s when you start yourself aiming and guiding the ball. It’s like, ya know what, I’m just going to throw it. Do your job, get open, catch the ball and I’m going to put it where you can catch it. I think that’s freed us both up to (say), ‘All right, let’s roll.’ So, it’s been pretty awesome.”’

Walker was playing off the line of scrimmage but immediately recognized what was happening. As Trask snapped the ball, Walker exploded past the boundary wide receiver, stepped in front of the short pass to the running back, and intercepted the ball.’
A Bills fan couldn’t even wait until the regular season to try climbing the stadium’s massive bison statues
‘It’s unknown which member of the bison family the fan in question was attempting to climb. Unfortunately for security, this is probably the first of many attempts that will take place over the next few decades.’

Preseason notebook: Bills passing game gets aggressive in Joe Brady’s first game as head coach
