‘The upcoming season will be filled with stressful games, and there will be an intense three-way fight for the AFC East title. But as has been the case with Sean McDermott’s teams over the last four years, the Bills will play their best football in the latter portion of the regular season, which will help them earn a spot in the playoffs.’

‘”I appreciate him and his belief in me, and as Micah [Hyde] said, confidence is a dangerous drug. When someone shows confidence in you, it goes a long way. So I’m very appreciative, I’m very grateful. Now it’s my job to take advantage of the opportunity.”‘

‘Head coach Sean McDermott announced on Wednesday that safety Cole Bishop, wide receiver Curtis Samuel, and tight end Quintin Morris, who’ve all been limited recently, would be full participants at practice.’

‘”The opportunity that was there, he took advantage of it and was consistent, built a certain level of rapport with ‘T-Rapp’, and that’s important as well at the safety position,” McDermott explained. “Watching those two communicate, I’m anxious to watch both of them play this weekend.”‘

‘McDermott adds there will be a leadership committee of 10 other players that will help lead the team along side Allen and Bernard.’

‘However, Howard was confident in the Bills’ ability to turn up the heat in the final stretch of the season, having Buffalo win five of the last six games to finish at 10-7.’

‘According to a report from ESPN NFL insider Field Yates, the Bills have restructured the contracts of defensive end A.J. Epenesa and defensive tackle DaQuan Jones to create an additional $2.78 million of cap space.’

‘”It just seems like a good chunk of the guys that, if you think about the last five years and we wrote down who we thought were the top-10 core guys on the Bills during this extended playoff run they’ve had, it feels like a bunch of them – [Jordan] Poyer, [Stefon] Diggs, [Mitch] Morse, [Micah] Hyde, Tre’Davious White, and then even just because the injury, [Matt] Milano – you’re probably talking about seven of the 12 guys that would be most associated with this era of Bills football. That’s a lot,” said Tucker during an appearance on “Schopp and the Bulldog” on Tuesday.’

‘”All the Bills parking lots are permitt only, so fans that, in the past, may have shown up and parked in a Bills lot, paid cash or used a credit card, they’re not going to be able to do that any longer. Those fans were encouraged to have an advanced plan,” said Andy Major, Vice President of Operations and Guest Experiences with the Bills while appearing on the “Jeremy and Joe Show” on WGR. “Know which neighborhood lot you might be trying to go to, possibly take the NFTA Game Day Express, possibly use rideshare, and definitely, we suggest strongly to carpool.’

‘During his rookie season in Minnesota, Cine played in just three games before suffering a season-ending injury during a game against the New Orleans Saints in London, England. He ended up suffering a compound fracture of his lower leg while covering a punt return.’

‘The only player joining the Bills on the practice squad after Tuesday’s round of roster cuts is quarterback Mike White, who signs with Buffalo after recently being released by the Miami Dolphins.’

‘”The thing I always liked about Mike and respected about him is whether he started the game or came into the game, he came in guns a blazin’. No fear, not just ‘Checkdown Charlie’. He really did some good things,” said Beane on Wednesday. “At times, there were people talking like he may be the future starter of the Jets. We were always [of the mindset] that we’ve got to be ready in the games we played against him.’

‘”If I’m practicing on a Friday, how can I have the best practice to help me play the best game Sunday? Or if I have a Saturday walk-through, how can I walk-through the right way on Saturday to get my mind right mentally so I can go out there and produce and play good, and play high level football?”‘

‘According to ESPN Stats and Information, Allen has committed 102 turnovers since the 2018 season, which leads all quarterbacks around the league.’

‘In addition, offensive lineman Travis Clayton, running back Darrynton Evans and linebacker Matt Milano were all placed on Injured Reserve.’
