Jemal on Statler banner ad featuring Bills QB Josh Allen? No regrets
‘“We’d do it again. It’s the right thing to do,” said Jemal, owner of Douglas Development Corp., saying he’d rather ask for forgiveness than permission in a situation like this. “You certainly know it’s the buzz of the city.”’
3 questions the Bills must answer to avoid another ugly loss to the Jaguars
‘Then in 2021, when Allen was no longer a rookie and had ascended into the upper echelon of NFL quarterbacks, the Bills suffered one of their most inexplicable losses ever, a disgraceful 9-6 clunker to the 1-6 Jaguars who were coached by Urban Meyer and quarterbacked by rookie Trevor Lawrence. This game was so egregious, it will hold a spot in the top 10 of worst Bills losses for quite a while.’
Bills running out of patience with Tyler Bass? Buffalo hosts these 2 vet kickers
‘Carlson, 26, was a sixth-round pick of the Green Bay Packers in the 2023 NFL Draft. In his rookie season, Carlson connected on 27-of-33 field goals with a long of 53 yards while making 34-of-39 extra points. Entering his second season, Carlson was beaten out for the job by Greg Joseph. York, a fourth-round pick of the Cleveland Browns in the 2022 NFL Draft, had some impressive kicks as a rookie including a 58-yard field goal. He would finish the year making 75% of his field goal attempts (24-of-32) while making 35-of-37 extra points.’
Buffalo Bills WR already outperforming Stefon Diggs
‘Khalil Shakir is having a standout season for the Bills. Through two games, he has eight catches for 96 yards and a touchdown. To compare, Stefon Diggs only has 70 yards through two games. And while a large majority of people thought Josh Allen and the offense would struggle without Diggs, they are thriving.’
Latest Bills tryouts could spell the end for Tyler Bass
‘The Bills worked out kickers Anders Carlson and Cade York, per Tom Pelissero. Carlson made 27-of-33 field goals in 2023 with the Green Bay Packers. York made 24-of-32 kicks with the Cleveland Browns in 2022, and went 0-for-2 with the Washington Commanders in Week 1 of 2024.’
Opinion: Wandering Bills thoughts: Week 2 at Dolphins
‘If Arizona is “back” and Buffalo took care of them and Miami, it makes everyone feel good about the Bills. They chalk up wins, that’s just what they do, no matter the schedule.’
'Did it for all the right reasons': Is the Josh Allen billboard in Downtown Buffalo violating city rules?
‘The billboard has become a temporary fixture in the city’s skyline but there may be a flag on the play as there have been allegations that the Statler did not have permission to put up the billboard. We have confirmed that the billboard went up without the proper permission from the City of Buffalo, so what happens from here?’
‘Huddle for Hunger’ unites Bills players and fans for a cause
‘“I’ve always done community stuff,” he said as he grabbed bags of food donated by Bills fans rolling by in their vehicles. “When I played in Philly, if my on-field performance wasn’t as good, fans still loved me because they knew what I did to help the community. It made me play harder.”’

Bills counting on Ed Oliver, defensive line to lead the way
‘“I don’t know the exact time of the game, but I started to, you know, feel that he was getting into his groove, getting into his rhythm,” Babich said of Oliver. “It was great to see. Ed’s a really good player. It just, it’s been cool, man. I’ve developed a relationship with Ed that maybe I haven’t had before because I wasn’t as involved with the D-line. But it’s really cool to see, really cool to see. He’s an intentional person about what he wants to be.”’
Joe Brady is making life easier for Josh Allen, and in the best ways. How? Here's Jim Kubiak's analysis
‘This victory and review of Allen’s performance demonstrates the philosophy of the coaching staff and the culture of the organization: a completeness of the team-building elements that coach Sean McDermott favors. The Bills have a way of finding and developing players within the structure of the team who may not be the fastest, the biggest, or the most physical, but who play the best together as they do their job within the framework of the schemes.’
Erik Brady: 50 years ago, Bills and Raiders played 'Monday Night Football' thriller that was 'way, way up there'
‘Ferguson had thrown only four touchdown passes in 1973, his rookie year, when his job was mostly to hand off to Simpson. But he already had two TD passes in this game. The Bills had the ball at their own 28 following the kickoff, with 1:14 left. “I just told our linemen in the huddle,” Ferguson said later, “ ‘You know what we have to do, they know what we have to do, I just need a little extra time.’”’
Buffalo Bills play Monday night vs team desperate for a win: Details about NFL Week 3 game
‘They blew a 14-0 lead to Miami and lost 20-17, and Sunday in their home opener, their defense allowed Cleveland quarterback Deshaun Watson to produce scores on four of his first five drives for a 16-3 lead, and the Jaguars were never able to claw back and fell 18-13.’
Observations from from a Bills-free NFL Sunday slate
‘Only five teams remain without a loss in the AFC already. Some you probably expected to be here: the Chiefs, the Texans and (if you’re a confident fan) the Bills. The others are more of a surprise: Mike Tomlin, Justin Fields and the Steelers and Jim Harbaugh’s Chargers. If I told you 10 days ago that a Harbaugh brother would be 2-0 and the other 0-2, I can’t imagine many would expect John’s Ravens to be on the bad side.’
Upon Further Review: Bills defense played patiently, Dolphins offense wasn't willing to wait
‘The Bills didn’t try to trick Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and they didn’t send more than four pass rushers once. They decided to play their safeties deep and stayed disciplined in coverage, daring Tagovailoa to force throws downfield or use his arm strength to to beat them.’
