‘“Just trying to stay in this state of low positive,” Allen said. “Where your energy is not super high and you’re allowing your mind to think and be free and just stay on top of everything. Obviously, as a quarterback, there’s a lot of things going through our mind. So if I can limit myself, my energy and my heart rate, I feel like maybe I can think a little bit more.”’

Bills rookie LB Dorian Williams staying positive despite benching
‘“It’s definitely tough,” said Williams. “I know it was all out of love. All the coaches want the best for me, but they have to do what they feel like is best to put the team in a position to win. It has been hard. It’s something you have to deal with that’s part of the game. But I know I’m getting better everyday and I’m gonna learn.”’

Plenty of blame to pass around in loss to Pats
‘Considering the opponent, Buffalo’s defense had its worst day of the season. The Bills let Mac Jones, who had not thrown a touchdown pass in nearly a month, look like an All-Pro. Jones looked unbothered by the Buffalo pass rush all day and completed all but five of his 30 attempts, scattering passes to nine different players. Even after the Bills erased a 12-point fourth-quarter deficit to take a lead late, Jones engineered a 75-yard game-winning drive with relative ease, completing a pass to tight end Mike Gesicki at the goal line to seal the Bills’ loss.’
Upon Further Review: Von Miller's snap count plummets in loss to Patriots
‘In his three games since returning from the physically-unable-to-perform list as he continued to recover from knee surgery to repair the torn ACL suffered last year on Thanksgiving, Miller has played 53 snaps and has one assisted tackle. His snap count reduced drastically Sunday from the 27 he played in Week 6 against the New York Giants. He played 20 snaps in his season debut against Jacksonville.’
Bills have decision to make at linebacker between Tyrel Dodson, Dorian Williams
‘On Sunday against the New England Patriots, the defensive coaching staff substituted rookie linebacker Dorian Williams out of the lineup in favor of veteran Tyrel Dodson. It’s the second time in three games since Matt Milano was hurt in Week 5 that the Bills replaced Williams with Dodson.’
Position grades: Bills' pass game needs to find answers vs. pressure tactics
‘It’s the second time in three weeks that a heavy blitzing defense kept Josh Allen off balance and on the run too often.’
Ken Dorsey Watch: Bills relied heavily on three wides vs. Patriots
‘Despite the return of Dalton Kincaid, the Bills stuck with the 11 personnel, three-wideout set most of the day at New England. It’s probably preferable to run from the spread against New England vs. having tight ends block the stout edge defenders. Play-action passing was not effective. Josh Allen hit just 4 of 10 for 50 yards with an interception off play-action, according to News charting. Most of New England’s opponents have not used play-action a lot.’
Alan Pergament: CBS' Eagle, Davis address the narratives of a Bills season going 'sideways'
‘Eagle also noted in the first quarter that the Patriots were following “the recipe” of pulling an upset with ball control and getting an early turnover from Bills quarterback Josh Allen.’
Bills take on Buccaneers in Week 8 game that may set course for season: What to know
‘Mayfield has played well in the Bucs’ first six games, but after a 3-1 start, they’ve lost back-to-back home games to the Lions and Falcons and Mayfield produced only one touchdown and 19 combined points.’
Bills offense looking for answers, but who’s calling the shots: McDermott or Dorsey?
‘“I try not to micromanage,” he said. “I do step in when I feel like I need to and there’s been increased communication over the last few weeks and whatever area it is, I’m not going to just stay quiet. We’re trying to win games and we’re trying to do things the right way.”’
Buffalo Bills’ Stefon Diggs apologizes to football fans everywhere. Here’s why
‘While Diggs’ yardage may have prevented a few fans from hitting on their parlay, his outing on Sunday was good for 17 points in ESPN Fantasy Football leagues and 17.80 points on Sleeper. That’s still a pretty solid outing for the No. 2 receiver in fantasy football this season.’
