‘”We’re trying to develop a good winning football team and build it the right way. That also means the right type of mindset. When you’re trying to become that type of team, [where other teams] are targeting you and we’re doing things the right way, they respect us. That’s where we want to be. We’ve worked hard to get here, and no we have to continue to stay hungry on the path to the end of the season here.”‘

Hughes misses practice for second straight day
‘Defensive end Jerry Hughes (groin) and safety Siran Neal (concussion) both missed practice for a second straight day, as the team prepares to take on the Denver Broncos Sunday in Orchard Park.’
Brown: We haven’t put up our best offensive performance yet
‘”He’s calm now, but, to me, Josh is still the same. I definitely talk to him about not taking hits. He’s been doing a good job with that. As far as the turnover situation, I just think he’s playing smarter and he’s making way better decisions and not forcing things.”‘
Another good test for Josh Allen vs Denver
‘A major theme of the 2019 season for Allen and the Bills has been taking care of business against weaker teams, but struggling against the league’s best.’
Allen named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week
‘So far through 10 games this season, Allen has completed 60.3% of his passes (191-for-317) for 2,175 yards and 13 touchdowns. Allen has already surpassed his passing marks from his rookie season, where he completed just 52.8% of his passes (169-for-320) for 2,074 yards and 10 touchdowns.’
Darryl Johnson shares a special bond with his college coach
‘“That meant a lot to him,” Johnson said of Coard receiving the jersey. “The look on his face, you could just tell the way it kind of touched his heart a little bit. I was just happy to give it to him and I told him thank you for everything he had done for me, for believing in me, and working with me every day and getting me better.”’
Hyde on Allen: He can be one of the best QB’s in the NFL
‘”We go out each & every game to play fearless. We try to go out there & not think, make plays, play fast. I think last week, after the loss in Cleveland, coach preached that a lot. He said we have to continue to go out there, we put all this film study in throughout the week so that we can go out there Sunday & play fast.”‘
Brandt: “People are crazy to tell Josh Allen not to run”
‘”I always go back to when Michael Vick was on his ascension in the early years with the Falcons and there was a crowd of people saying don’t run,” Brandt said.’
Frazier: We’re seeing the evolution of Tremaine Edmunds
‘“Very proud of him,” head coach Sean McDermott said of Edmunds during his weekly Monday press conference. “I mentioned at length about and talked at length about his youth. Just [in his] second year, middle of the second year, Josh [Allen] the same way and sometimes you forget that. But to see him take ownership and stand up and address his teammates, very mature type of approach and then he backed it up with his play.”’
Bills blast Dolphins 37-20 to notch seventh win of the year
‘Josh Allen would shine against the Dolphins once again, throwing for 256 yards and three touchdowns, two of which went to John Brown, who reeled in 9 catches and 137 yards in addition to those touchdowns. Devin Singletary led all players with 75 rushing yards. The Bills defense flexed its muscles as well, as they sacked Ryan Fitzpatrick seven times, all by different defenders, while allowing just 23 yards rushing in the entire game.’
Bills cruise in Miami
‘The defense harassed former Bill Ryan Fitzpatrick all day. The blitzes were too much for Miami’s offensive line to handle and the Bills sacked Fitzpatrick seven times. They held the Dolphins running game to just 23 yards on 13 carries.’
Arrow Up/Arrow Down – Bills at Dolphins
‘Brown continued his outstanding season, and getting an Arrow Up ever single week from me. He had his third-highest catch total in a game with 9 and his third-most yards with 137. He scored 2 TDs. Brown was a problem for the Dolphins secondary all afternoon and Allen did a great job of targeting him as much as he could. He had the second-most targets of his career with 14 balls thrown to him.’
What to watch for: Bills-Dolphins
‘Simply put, the Bills offense just hasn’t scored enough points, and last week against the Cleveland Browns it finally came back to bite them.’
McDermott: I want our team playing fast
‘”All of us together, coaches and players, let’s do what we’ve got to do, do it how we normally do it and be decisive. It’s not getting to playing hesitant. When you play this game, because it is an aggressive game, it’s a contact sport – if you hesitate, you lose in most situations. So, I want our team playing fast, playing physical and playing aggressive with great decisiveness and clarity around what’s expected on each play in their roles, in particular.”‘
Tight Tigers: Ryan Clark has helped shape Tre White’s career
‘“He came to the building and was working out with Jamal,” White explained when asked how the relationship began, referring to former Tiger and current Jets safety Jamal Adams. “I needed some work, so I just jumped in. The relationship started from there and it’s been strong ever since. I owe him a lot for the success I’m having because of the way he trained me even before the draft, before the senior bowl, and then obviously after the draft going into camp. I’ve been training with him for the last 4-5 years. It’s been good.”’
