‘36.2% – How well has Geno Smith played? He ranks No. 1 in the NFL in passing, despite facing the 11th highest pressure rate in the league (36.2%). Seattle also has allowed the fifth most sacks in the league (20).’

Bills-Seahawks: Who you got? Buffalo News writers make their predictions on Sunday's game
‘Calling all Bills defensive linemen: Stop the Seattle run game and you’ll be able to work over a Seahawks offense that has allowed 20 sacks in seven games. The Seahawks are averaging 4.5 yards per carry and are tied for fourth with 10 touchdowns. Get Seattle into third-and-long, and the Bills’ defense will have an advantage; opponents are 11 of 40 vs. the Bills on third down when needing 8 or more yards. Offensively, the Bills should have success exploiting Seattle’s 28th-ranked rush defense. A lot of James Cook. Some Ray Davis. A little bit of Ty Johnson. Especially in rainy conditions, take the air out of the football and fly home 6-2. Bills, 34-27.’
Bills Mailbag: After addressing wide receiver, what position should Brandon Beane be in the market for next?
‘A compelling case can be made for each, but I’d rank them this way: 1. Cooper, 2. Hopkins, 3. Adams. We’ve seen in just one game what Cooper means for the Bills’ offense. In addition to making big plays against the Titans, Cooper opened things up for the rest of the Bills’ receivers. It remains to be seen what Hopkins will do for the Chiefs, although they had a need that was similar to that of the Bills. Adams is a solid player, but it feels like the Jets’ season is too far gone for him to make the type of impact New York would need him to make.’
Voice of the fan: These days, it's much better to be Bills-y – not Jets-y, Fins-y or Pats-y
‘But seven weeks into 2024, the AFC East is the worst division in football. Only the Bills sport a winning record, and the aggregate record of the four teams is a woeful 10-17.’

Buffalo Bills announce surprising elevation ahead of Seattle Seahawks matchup
‘Many fans believed that KJ Hamler would get elevated with Curtis Samuel dealing with a shoulder injury, but the team announced on Saturday that they were elevating Jalen Virgil from the practice squad. Virgil, 26, joined Buffalo’s practice squad in the fall after being waived by the Denver Broncos. Denver was hoping to sign Virgil to their practice squad, but the receiver opted to join the Bills.’

Five Takes: Are Seahawks a true contender? Can Bills earn statement win over fellow division leader?
‘With that said, Bernard’s absence is certainly the most significant of the three, as it will be difficult for the Bills to replace their middle linebacker and quarterback of the defense. Since returning from a pectoral injury that forced him to miss a game earlier this season, Bernard has made a number of big plays while performing as a steady force in the center of the Buffalo defense.’

Four Downs: Amari Cooper is ready for a bigger role in second game with Bills
‘Cooper played 19 snaps five days after being acquired in a trade from the Cleveland Browns, but with another week to dig into the playbook, the Bills should be able to utilize him more often. It seems unlikely the Bills will force-feed him the ball as they did with Stefon Diggs at times, but Cooper showed he still has enough juice left to be a significant contributor.’
