Undefeated Bills, Dolphins face off in early AFC East showdown
‘Other than next month’s game at Kansas City against its high-powered offense it’s the worst possible week for Buffalo to have a short-handed secondary.’
A seamless transition for Bills’ Dorsey
‘“It’s a huge plus for us to keep that continuity and any tweaks and adjustments are within the realm of the system,” he said. “It’s not like you’re bringing in new terminology and a brand new system. It’s what these guys have done in previous years. It’s been a great advantage for us to pick up where we left off in the past, not only with Josh but all the guys up front, the job they’re doing in pass protection and blocking and with the receivers being on the same page with Josh.”’
Why Von Miller thinks Greg Rousseau can one day become the NFL's best pass rusher
‘“He has all the ability and the mindset to be the best pass rusher in the league,” Miller said this week. “It’s going to happen. It’s just sometimes things take a little bit of time. The trajectory he’s on, man, he’s on a great path. I’m excited for him.”’
Four Bills key defensive contributors out for Sunday's game in Miami
‘”They’re both coming off of obviously significant situations, serious situations, like all injuries, in particular, when it involves the areas of the body that theirs did,” McDermott said. “So really going anything beyond that I think would be irresponsible on my part because I really don’t know anything more. They both seem to be moving around or walking around or in the building here. They’re in there going about their business, trying to improve each and every day. Obviously not going to make this game. Other than that, I don’t have anything else for you at this point. We’re just going to work with them on their on their cadence and their timing at this point.”‘
Voice of the Fan: Bills are overstuffed with next-man-ups who next-manned-up
‘Bills fans in those awful games and years despised the Fish easily as much or more than you hate the Pats now. The whole decade of the ’70s, the Fins were 20-0 against our Bills. Players named Don Nottingham and Norm Bulaich used to kill us. It was that bad.’
‘They’re gonna show out’: Bills won’t have Micah Hyde vs. Dolphins, will rely on young DBs
‘Every team deals with injuries during the season, but this is an awful time for the Bills to be banged up — especially on the defensive side of the ball. The Dolphins are coming off a 42-point explosion against the Baltimore Ravens where quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw for 429 yards and six touchdown passes.’
‘Excitement’ stampede: Area Bills’ fan plays prominent role with Mafia
‘On Monday night, football fans across the nation were given a glimpse into our region’s support of the team from a member of our own community. Leslie Wille, co-founder of Bills Mafia and treasurer of the Bills Mafia Babes, was featured in a pregame video during the Monday Night Football broadcast on ESPN this past Monday.’

Bills Rule Out 4 Defensive Regulars Against Dolphins
‘The Bills (2-0) will most certainly be thin in their secondary even if Poyer (foot) is available. Rookie cornerbacks Christian Benford and Kaiir Elam are now in line to start against a Tua Tagovailoa-led Dolphins offense which leads the NFL through two games with 703 yards passing. Benford and Elam opened the season sharing snaps at the the cornerback spot opposite Jackson.’
Former Bills star Moulds happy fans, ownership can enjoy club's NFL resurgence
‘”I think (the Bills’ resurgence) is great,” said Moulds. “I played on some good teams in Buffalo and we had some bad teams but every time I looked up in the stands there was 80,000 people there. The fans are passionate, they live and die with the Bills. I think (GM) Brandon Beane and (head coach) Sean McDermott have created something many people in Buffalo are looking forward to and I’m happy to see it because of the fans there.”‘
Buffalo Bills rule out CB Dane Jackson, safety Micah Hyde, DTs Jordan Phillips, Ed Oliver vs. Miami Dolphins
‘The Bills are dealing with injuries to other starters as well. Safety Jordan Poyer (foot) missed practice time and defensive tackle Tim Settle (calf) is working his way back after missing the Bills’ win over the Tennessee Titans on Monday. Both are listed as questionable to play against the Dolphins, as are wide receiver Gabe Davis, tight end Dawson Knox and center Mitch Morse.’
Bills rule out Micah Hyde, Jordan Phillips, Ed Oliver, Dane Jackson for AFC East showdown vs. Dolphins
‘Hyde, a second-team All-Pro last season, did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday and is out with a neck injury. He sustained the injury while making a tackle of Robert Woods during the fourth quarter of Monday night’s game against the Tennessee Titans, and was eventually carted to the locker room. According to the Buffalo News, he will get a second opinion on the injury. McDermott would not comment Thursday on whether Hyde was with the team that day.’
Lifelong Buffalo Fans Reflect on the Rise of the Bills Mafia Tailgates
‘D’Angelo pinpoints the true start of the Bills Mafia to align with when Josh Allen came to town. He compares Buffalo’s energy today to when Jim Kelly took the team to a record four consecutive Super Bowls in 1991–94—but better. With Allen, he says, fans can see that the quarterback loves Buffalo; Allen has made it clear that he wants to be in New York and play with the Bills, and that makes all the difference for the community. (It doesn’t hurt that his accuracy has improved immensely, D’Angelo adds.)’
