Cowboys’ Micah Parsons: ‘Matt Milano is a top-three linebacker in the NFL’

Micah Parsons even raves about Matt Milano:

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons is very, very good.

Since joining the league in 2021, he has continued to rack up sacks, fumbles, and awards.

And the 2021 Defensive Rookie Of The Year on his podcast The Edge with Micah Parsons recently spoke about an All-Pro linebacker on the Buffalo Bills.

Milano started the 2023 NFL season phenomenally for the Bills, and has received plaudits from everyone, including writers, teammates, and even opposing offensive coordinators. Unfortunately, Milano’s season was cut short due to a leg injury, and the Buffalo defense has severely underperformed during his absence.

And Parsons notices it, too.

“Obviously, you see the difference with Matt Milano. Matt Milano is, you know, a top three linebacker in the league, and I don’t care what no one says,” Parsons said on his podcast.

Parsons went on to highlight how he believes that Milano hasn’t received the appropriate praise. You can watch the full clip below:

Will the Bills All-Pro linebacker be back in time to face Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys in December? Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott provided a brief update on Matt’s presence around Orchard Park recently but there is still no timetable for his return.

But first, the Bills (5-3) will look to toppled the Cincinnati Bengals (3-4) without the reliable defender.

Andre Reed named ‘Legend of the Game’ for Bills vs. Buccaneers

Andre Reed named ‘Legend of the Game’ for #Bills vs. #Buccaneers:

Andre Reed is ready to return to Buffalo. And he hopes to make you proud again, as the Bills (4-3) have announced that Reed will be back in Orchard Park and honored prior  the team’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-3).

Reed will be the “Legend of the Game.”  And the Buffalo Bills organization – and we assume fans – are extremely excited for his return:

Reed spent nearly every year out of the 16 seasons in the NFL with the Bills, wearing Buffalo blue from 1985 to 1999.

During his long tenured career he earned seven consecutive Pro Bowl nominations, winning four consecutive AFC championships before the final year of his career at another team. Following his retirement, Andre Reed’s impact on and off the field was honored as he deservedly made his way onto the Buffalo Bills Wall of Fame in 2006 before eventually being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2014.

Reed noted to the team’s website that he has not been back in Buffalo for a couple seasons as he lives in California now, but he has been looking forward to his return to Western New York.

“Always excited to come up there,” Reed said. “The fan base has always been great there, you know, one of the best fan bases in the country.”

Prior to kickoff, he will pump up Bills Mafia ahead of the opening kick and team introductions.

Get to your seats early to see a Bills legend be warmly welcomed by fans and organization during his acknowledgement before the Bills take on the Buccaneers.

PODCAST: After overcoming second-half woes, is Josh Allen an MVP?

Buffalo Bills podcast following Week 3, 2020 NFL season vs. Los Angeles Rams on quarterback Josh Allen.

The Buffalo Bills left us with another nail-biter finish this weekend, as they defeated the Los Angeles Rams 35-32 in Orchard Park. With a 28-3 deficit in hand for the Bills early in the third quarter, the Rams rallied back to challenge the Bills, scoring 29 unanswered points, but could not finish the game on top.

It certainly left many scratching their heads, as the phrase “28-3” is not one that is kindly used on the team with 28 points. The Bills, however, avoided that ugly stigma with another incredible, yet roller coaster ride of a fourth-quarter comeback. The Bills now have three wins in as many weeks, with a road trip to Las Vegas to play the Raiders next week.

There are certainly some questions about this Bills defense, and the scheme being used after they jumped to the massive lead that they did. How could a team that was ranked in the top-five last year allow such a comeback? It was certainly worrisome, as that put Bills quarterback Josh Allen and the offense in unnecessarily challenging predicaments the last several weeks,

Allen continues to earn a solid reputation amongst his fans and even his biggest critics. Allen has thrown for 300-plus yards in every game this year, and it isn’t too far-fetched to start mentioning Allen in the MVP discussion. It’s still early, and there’s lots of great football to be played, but he’s playing as great as any elite quarterback in the NFL right now.
