‘The Bears dominated every facet of Sunday’s contest–offense, defense, special teams, time of possession–just like they did last season. Chicago visited Buffalo last August in a game where the Bills were outclassed–a 33-6 loss. Buffalo went on to the AFC Championship game, and the Bears went 5-12. It’s a preseason game.’

Bills Mailbag: With a new contract secured, will James Cook's workload increase?
‘I’d expect Cook’s snap count to go up slightly – let’s put it somewhere between 55% and 60% of the offensive snaps. Keep in mind, he missed a game last year because of injury and wasn’t needed much in the meaningless Week 18 game against New England, so he would have had a higher snap count. The Bills have said they believe he is a three-down back. Now, it’s time for both sides to prove that. I agree with your point, Jeff, that the Bills struck a good balance with their running game last year, so they shouldn’t feel forced to use Cook a great deal more than they did in 2024. As for the impact of missing a week of practice, I’d say it’s not consequential to the season. Plenty of other players have missed more time than that because of injury. Cook was still in the meetings and preparing for the season in other ways. He’ll be just fine.’

‘Sean McDermott would not divulge who will get the start Sunday night when the teams meet in preseason game No. 2 at Soldier Field. If it’s a true competition, one should expect White to get the nod and play with the first-string for perhaps a quarter. If Trubisky starts, that would be a clear indication that Trubisky has already won the job.’
Bills first-ever game in new stadium wasn't legendary. But boy that traffic jam sure was
‘The confluence of those going to the game, others heading to the Erie County Fair in Hamburg, plus the normal summer Friday night rush-hour traffic and weekend vacation travel created a congestion nightmare and the stadium manager, Thomas Calpin, admitted, “We were operating under worst-case conditions.” Of course, that begged the question, why not play the first game on Saturday?’
