‘The Bills on social media on Wednesday said they will go with a “stormtrooper look” on Sunday in Detroit: white helmets, white jerseys, and white pants. The Bills are 0-1 when wearing that uniform combination this season, falling in Week 5 against the Houston Texans.’

Bills announce 10 new limited partners added to ownership group
‘”This was a no-brainer for Terry Pegula. He has a football franchise that has a valuation of about $5 billion, and now with a minority investment stake given to these equity investors, he’s getting an infusion of cash of upwards of $1 billion,” Carucci said. “When you have something valued at that much and you have investors that basically want to throw money at you to be a part of it, you’ve got to do it.”‘
Bills ready to respond in Week 15, say loss to Rams is ‘good medicine’
‘“You go out there, and you get your tail whooped a little bit. Frustrated you can’t get them off the field at certain times, stuff like that,” DaQuan Jones said. “It’s good medicine and you’re going to learn from it. Kind of gets you fired back up. I don’t think anyone around here got lackadaisical with a win streak, but you kind of can lose that edge a little bit. I feel like it’s kind of just the thing we needed.”’

‘”I’ve seen consistently this year them being very urgent,” McDermott said. “I think there’s potentially things that factor into that, whether it’s coming off of the couple games that we come off of and perhaps maybe losing just a little bit of the urgency… So what has to be in front of us this week is the opportunity that’s in front of us, quite frankly, to challenge that team. It’s going against a 12-1 team, and at their place, it’s going to be a heck of an environment.”‘

Analysis: Bills need to get more production from blitz in wake of loss to Rams
‘The Bills’ blitzes were ineffective against Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford. He completed 5 of 8 passes for 94 yards and one touchdown against the blitz. Another blitz play resulted in a defensive pass interference penalty on Ja’Marcus Ingram and a Rams first down in a third-and-9 situation.’
After disastrous performance, can Bills defense regroup vs Lions' explosive offense?
‘The run defense was leaky, the third-down defense was horrific, there was no pass rush pressure, and the back seven – normally the strength of the unit — could not have covered sumo wrestlers Sunday as Rams receivers were running wide open all day at SoFi Stadium.’
Buffalo Bills coach sees Amari Cooper’s 14 targets as ‘good sign’ despite catch rate
‘“I think there is a chemistry there that’s been born,” McDermott said on Monday. “Is it complete? Probably not, and they would probably tell you that. There’re still working through some things, as you saw in the game yesterday. And I think that’ll continue to grow. I think the great part about it is Josh, and we’ve all seen it, he’s going to the receiver that he should go to. He’s going through his progression, so whether it’s Amari, in this case, or Mack (Hollins) or whomever.’

‘But what pushed Allen over the edge for NFL Player of the Year is his relationship with the community of Buffalo and, in particular, the Children’s Hospital where Allen is a regular visitor, fundraiser and cheerleader. He is in the hospital at least a few times per season.’
Buffalo Bills make NFL history in most embarrassing of ways in loss to Rams
‘The Bills scored six touchdowns on offense and didn’t turn the ball over. Teams that have done that throughout the Super Bowl era were 245-0 entering Sunday – the Bills were the first team to score six touchdowns, not turn the ball over, and lose, per Dante Koplowitz-Fleming on X.’
Bills' $68 million mistake is coming back to haunt them
‘Ed Oliver was given a four-year, $68 million deal ahead of the 2023 season, and he had a very strong season coming off that contract. The former first-round pick had a career-high 9.5 sacks in 2023 and looked poised to build off that in 2024. Unfortunately, the season Oliver is currently having does not back up the contract he is playing on. He has just eight solo tackles this season and one sack. He’s on pace for a career low in total tackles and sacks, and that lack of impact has hurt the Bills when it comes to stopping the run and getting interior pressure in the pass game.’
