Bills Mafia gets frustrating injury news regarding several defensive stars

Bills reveal reason for slow Joshua Palmer start
‘“I think part of it is just the situation of the games and how they’ve been going,” Allen said. “It’s just been a product of that. Obviously, a lot of different personnel changes that we have in our offense, forcing defenses to show us what they’re going to do before they do it. That’s why we have so many different types of personnel.”‘
Josh Allen plays down Stefon Diggs' Bills homecoming with 6 words
‘“We played him last year,” Allen said. “So, I don’t think it’s anything super crazy, but obviously being back in Buffalo, who knows if the emotions are going to be heightened for him or for the fans or whatever it is, but we’re just going to go out there and try to perform the best we can.”’
Bills to take page out of Penn State's book for Week 5 matchup vs. Patriots

He’s an all-time teammate, and he’s gotten everything that he’s deserved. He’s going out there, and acting like he’s got something to prove, which is awesome to see.”’

‘“It’s going to be a little bit emotional,” Diggs told reporters in Foxborough on Wednesday. “I try to keep the main thing the main thing, but it’s going to be my first time back there. It’s going to be a hell of an atmosphere. I was part of that for a long time. I played there before I got there, so I’m excited.”’

Bills are having trouble with scrambling quarterbacks. How will they handle Drake Maye?
‘The Bills are having trouble containing mobile quarterbacks. If they’re not scrambling away from a four- or five-man rush, they’re rolling out to extend the play long enough for a receiver to get open downfield. Buffalo has allowed quarterbacks to rush for a league-high 199 rushing yards on 22 carries, nine of which have occurred on third down and eight that have gone for at least 10 yards.’
