‘Additionally, the Bills already have a bigger current season ticket base than seats at the new stadium, expected to have a capacity of 60,000-plus when it opens in 2026. Yet the team continues to add to that waitlist that Guelli considers “pretty significant.”’

Brock Purdy injury: Could 49ers QB miss Buffalo Bills matchup in Week 13?
‘“He hurt his arm last week against Seattle,” Glazer said on FOX’s NFL pregame show. “Monday they gave him an MRI. It showed a shoulder sprain. Tuesday [and] Wednesday he practiced. They thought he was tracking on the right pace there. On Thursday, he went out and tried to throw [and] it just locked up on him. So what nobody knows is they gave him another MRI on Thursday, but it didn’t show anything else. So they’re kind of living in question of when he’s going to come back there. They’re going to just rehab it and hope he comes back next week. They just don’t know right now.”’
Opinion: A pleasant surprise
‘Two things have helped their cause. One, the Bills have been very good at making halftime adjustments. There have been multiple games where they have struggled through the first half and then effectively shut the opponent down in the second half. The Bills have given up 135 points in the first half this season and just 79 in the second half. The other strength of the 2024 Bills defense is their ability to take the ball away. They have at least one takeaway in every game. Actually they have a takeaway in 13 straight games going back to last season.’

Bills Mailbag: Where's the love for McDermott? Who gets credit for overachieving?
‘I find the determination of Coach of the Year to sometimes be a little finnicky. I think the Bills and Sean McDermott by proxy are getting docked a bit because they have been so good over the years. That doesn’t take away the fact that this was expected to be somewhat of a rebuilding year, but I think until McDermott can get the Bills over the hump and get them to the Super Bowl, he’s going to fall short of Coach of the Year honors — whether or not that is fair. It is a testament to his success that he is being judged to such high standards.’
Major wine and spirits companies partner with Buffalo Bills

The Bills have also recently partnered with Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey, making the company the official whiskey of the team. The deal includes creating two new branded bars in the sideline clubs at Highmark Stadium where signature Jack Daniel’s cocktails are available for purchase.’
Steelers defender takes shot at Josh Allen, says Buffalo Bills QB is not MVP candidate
‘After giving his opinion on Jackson and Mahomes, Elliott made sure to take a shot at Allen stating that the quarterback doesn’t belong in the MVP race due to being a “turnover magnet. You can say Josh Allen here and there, but he’s a turnover magnet,” Elliott added. “I’m going to keep it a bean at all times.”’

Voice of the fan: It's Fan Appreciation day, but in reverse – let's appreciate these Buffalo Bills
‘Before this season, NFL analysts and punters – er, pundits – often bemoaned the Bills’ losses of star players like Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis, Micah Hyde, Tre White, Mitch Morse and so on.’
Bills need to use Amari Cooper more in order to make deep playoff run
‘”The Bills traded for Amari Cooper to bolster the receiving corps ahead of their playoff run,” the piece said. “They welcomed him to the gameplan with five targets in his first game. He responded with four catches for 66 yards and a touchdown. He’s only combined for five targets over the last two weeks, though. He made his presence felt against the Chiefs with two receptions for 55 yards, but he was only targeted three times. Cooper is one of the team’s best downfield separators now. It would be good to see the Bills use him more as the season goes on.”‘
Bills' path to No. 1 seed in AFC gets much easier after Browns win over Steelers

Opinion: Bills at the bye
‘Don’t all of you sleep better knowing the Bills have Allen locked in as their franchise quarterback? Even though the wide receiver group was almost completely overhauled (more likely because of it), Allen looks to have his best shot at winning the NFL’s Most Valuable Player award this year.’
Tibbetts: It's time to crown some Buffalo Bills midseason MVPs
‘Taron Johnson, Christian Benford, and Greg Rousseau have all stood out to me with big-time plays and performances throughout the season, but the guy I’m going with for MVP is Terrel Bernard.’
