‘“My whole dream as a kid, you know, has been to be in this position, and I have never thought of anything outside of that or beyond that. Hopefully, I get to still play this game for a very long time and ultimately, my goal is to play this for as long as I physically can, but there is life after it as well.”’

Josh Allen-led Bills offense misfires for 2nd straight outing in loss to Atlanta
‘Another is for Brady to begin leaning on his team’s strengths, and specifically James Cook. After gaining 87 yards on 17 carries, the running back spent the final 11 minutes cooling his heels on the sideline of a 24-14 loss to Atlanta on Monday night.’
Are the Bills frauds? Breaking down Buffalo's struggles, plus the Patriots' chances to win the AFC East
‘So as the Bills head into their bye week, they’re not focused on the division or the playoffs or anything that far down the road. Rather, they’re trying to figure out how to work their way out of the two-game slump they’re in, one that has seen letdowns on offense and defense and significant health issues as well.’
Bills stumble into bye playing bad football
‘If there’s consolation to be found for Buffalo in these two losses it’s that despite losing the turnover battle, despite not being able to stop the other team’s best players on offence and despite multiple mistakes throughout, the Bills were in both games until the very end.’
Everything wrong with the Buffalo Bills, and why heads need to roll
‘The Bills’ secondary is abysmal. Over the last two games, Buffalo is allowing 261.5 passing yards per game, which would rank 31st in the NFL if it were their season-long total. The Patriots had precisely one player that could gash Buffalo, and he did. Stefon Diggs caught 10 passes for 146 of Drake Maye’s 273 yards. The Bills knew Diggs would be the focal point of the passing game, and could still do nothing to stop it.’
Why Bills are right to downplay crisis talk after Falcons loss
‘”I think we were three and two last year, sitting at four and two going into a bye-week,” Allen said. “At any point, you can have a winning season, almost halfway through the year. I know we’re not quite halfway, but I think you’ll take those odds.”’
Bills' James Cook usage makes absolutely no sense
‘”James Cook snap count last night was 52.6%,” wrote local radio man Howard Simon. “His 2nd lowest of the season. Lowest was in the blowout win over the Jets. As per ESPN, Cook was not on the field for any of the Bills 9 plays on 3rd down or their 1 play on 4th down. That’s inexcusable.”‘
Sean McDermott takes not-so-subtle jab at Joe Brady after Bills rough offensive performance
‘“I could feel what you’re saying,” McDermott said via Matthew Bove. “It was too hard. It was too hard tonight for our quarterback and it doesn’t need to be that hard all the time.”’
Bills head coach Sean McDermott confirms zero defensive changes will be made after Week 6 loss to Falcons
‘The Bills allowed north of 200 yards on the ground for the second time this season, as Bijan Robinson carved up Buffalo all evening. On top of that, Drake London had 10 catches for over 150 yards and a touchdown. Many were hoping the bye week would bring some changes, but Sean McDermott has said no changes will be made, and that Bobby Babich will remain the play-caller on defense.’
Bills' Sean McDermott delivers brutal dose of reality for Maxwell Hairston's return
‘On Tuesday, head coach Sean McDermott said that Hairston’s 21-day window could be opened after the bye, which is no doubt a positive.’
Josh Allen offers 3-word message on Bills' poor offensive showing vs. Falcons
‘“It takes everyone,” Allen said. “Little details matter, I wasn’t good enough, and we got to find ways. We had some God-given opportunities to take advantage of, and we didn’t.”‘
Josh Allen takes full blame for Bills' poor offensive showing vs. Falcons
‘”I mean, not great, being down Dalton [Kincaid], obviously down Curtis [Samuel],” Allen said. “Guys got to step up in that position and thought there were some plays made, but I got to be better for this team.”‘
Bills' DaQuan Jones and Joshua Palmer are week-to-week
‘McDermott said other injured players, including tight end Dalton Kincaid (oblique), linebacker Terrel Bernard (ankle), wide receiver Curtis Samuel (neck/ribs), and linebacker Matt Milano (pectoral) are all day-to-day with their injuries.’
Buffalo Bills offense searches for answers following another disappointing performance
‘It’s not often we say that with the reigning MVP under center. More often than not, it’s Josh Allen and a combination of James Cook and others who find a way to sneak out a victory when the defense has played lackluster.’
Today in Bills stadium history: Oct. 15
‘2000 — Bills 27, Chargers 24 (OT) — The crowd was 72,351 for Buffalo’s wild comeback win against a winless Chargers opponent. Trailing 24-10 late in the third quarter, Rob Johnson threw a touchdown pass to Shawn Bryson, and led a 69-yard drive in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter (though a game-losing interception slipped through Junior Seau’s hands) setting Steve Christie’s tying field goal from short range. Johnson would then separate his shoulder on a Neil Smith hit early in OT, and after Henry Jones’ intercepted Jim Harbaugh, it was Doug Flutie putting the Bills (3-3) in position for Christie’s winning kick from 46 yards out. Eric Moulds caught 11 passes for 170 yards, Sammy Morris scored on a 32-yard run and lineman Jerry Ostrowski recovered a Jonathan Linton fumble for the only touchdown of his eight-year career.’
