Bills players mostly quiet on Washington D.C., Capitol news

Buffalo Bills players who mentioned the Washington D.C. and Capitol riots include RB Zack Moss, LB Darron Lee, LB Andre Smith, WR Kenny Stills.

As the Capitol building in Washington D.C. was invaded on Wednesday, the eyes of the world were watching. Considering that, members of the Bills certainly knew what was going on as well like all of us.

In many cases under such extreme circumstances, those connected to the club, such as players, were quiet on the manner. To each their own on the situation at-hand. We’re not here to say what is right and wrong, just to bring to light reactions made by others.

Most current Bills players had little to say on what was unfolding. Truthfully, only two really posted anything from their own personal Twitter accounts.

One was linebacker and special teamer Andre Smith via Twitter:

In addition to his own message, Smith also re-tweeted or shared a message from another professional athlete, NBA player Kevin Love which called the situation at the Capitol an “absolute disgrace.”

Practice squad linebacker Darron Lee was the most-active player in terms of their social media. He sent out several message:

Like Smith, Lee also tossed out re-tweets from NBA players, such as one from Steph Curry and some other NFL players and analysts, such as Saints linebacker Demario Davis.

Along with Smith and Lee, two others kept their thoughts to re-tweets only. New wide receiver Kenny Stills, who’s very much involved with social issues as he was arrested protesting himself this past offseason in Louisville for questioning the death of Breonna Taylor, shared a message about U.S. history:

The other was rookie running back Zack Moss who sent out a couple re-tweets, including this:

Former Bills players also remained mostly silent. Those who did not included some only loosely associated with the team, such as Hall of Fame wide receiver Terrell Owners and linebacker Shawne Merriman:

Report card: Bills top Patriots, 38-9

Report card for the Buffalo Bills’ Week 16 win on Monday Night Football vs. the New England Patriots.

Regardless of grades we’re about to handout, it has to be known… What a thrill of a win that was.

The Buffalo Bills (12-3) smacked the New England Patriots, on their turf at Gillette Stadium, 38-9, in Week 16. The game was barely close, and the Patriots (6-9) dynasty certainly seems like a thing of the way, way past.

But in terms of this 60-minute contest contest, let’s hand out some marks now. After checking the film, here’s how Bills Wire grades Buffalo from their win vs. the Pats:

BREAKING: Former Alabama RB tests positive for COVID

Former Alabama running back T.J. Yeldon has tested positive for COVID, according to a report by the Buffalo Bills PR team. He will not be…

Former Alabama running back T.J. Yeldon was tested positive for COVID, according to the Buffalo Bills PR team. He will not travel with the team for their Week 16 contest on the road for a prime time game against the New England Patriots.

Yeldon, who won two SEC Championships and a BCS National Championship while with the Crimson Tide, has had a difficult time finding his stride within the NFL.

He was a second round draft pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2015, but struggled to earn a lead role as there always seemed to be players sitting above him on the depth chart.

Now, in year No. 2 with the Bills, Yeldon has still not seen much time on the field. He has appeared in three games and carried the ball 10 times for 70 yards.

There’s no official word on how Yeldon contracted the virus, or how it might have affected the rest of the playoff-bound Bills.

Roll Tide Wire will keep you updated on Yeldon’s health as more information becomes available.

Report card: Bills top Broncos, 48-19

Buffalo Bills Week 15 report card following their win over the Denver Broncos.

The Bills are the kings of the AFC East in 2020.

Following their win… no, destruction, of the Denver Broncos (5-9) on Saturday in Week 15, 48-19, Buffalo (11-3) cannot be caught in the divisional race. Moving forward, there is still plenty to play for, but before looking ahead to the rest of the regular season, let’s hand out some grades.

Here’s Bills Wire’s report card for the Bills following their Week 15 win over the Broncos:

Stock up, stock down following the Bills’ win over the Broncos

Stock report following the Buffalo Bills’ win over the Denver Broncos.

In the route that was the Buffalo Bills’ win over the Denver Broncos, one could pretty easily guess which way the stock status of many went.

On Saturday, that outing saw the Bills (11-3) top the Broncos in a massive 48-19 final score. The biggest storyline from it was the Bills’ clinching the AFC East title for the first time in 25 years.

Before we get to where Buffalo goes from here, let’s take a look at the latest stock report for the tea, following Week 15:

Stock down

OL Ike Boettger

The Bills offensive line really only had one weak spot against the Broncos and it was left guard Ike Boettger. After struggling against the Steelers’ Cam Heyward two weeks ago, Boettger was beaten a couple times in Denver. On one occasion, Boettger let a rusher right in on quarterback Josh Allen, who bailed out the guard with an impressive pass to tight end Dawson Knox. Allen was hit low on that play though, something you never want to see.

Boettger also had issues with multiple penalties. He was part of the red zone situation when the Bills were going the wrong way. Boettger’s overall Pro Football Focus grade took another big dent, too. Entering the last week vs. the Steelers, he was a 75.9 overall, and after another drop off, he’s down to 63.3.

KR Andre Roberts

Andre Roberts did have a 53-yard kick return which was good… but very much over shadowing that was a fumble on a punt return. That’s rare for Roberts, but it happened, and the Broncos went on to score on that ensuing drive. Can’t have that.

After the Buffalo Bills won the AFC East title on Saturday against the Denver Broncos, it was difficult for many players to find the right words.

Some just described the mood as indescribable, while some Buffalo (11-3) players took the big-picture approach.

Here’s a rundown of how some in the Bills’ locker room reacted to the AFC East title following their 48-19 win over the Broncs (5-9) in Week 15:

Sean McDermott

“I’m just so thankful. And again, it’s not just one person. I’m just… so thankful. I’m so happy for the fans, honestly. I’m just so happy for the fans. It’s just such a cool place to be apart of because of the work ethic of the people. The character of the people in Buffalo, around Buffalo, western New York. I love see Bills flags out in people’s yards and I’m hoping there’s a lot more people buying Bills flags tonight. I’m just humble to be apart of it.”

Josh Allen

“It’s great that we’re able to do it for the first time in 25 years. To be the team and to be the quarterback of the team that does it, obviously it feels really good. At the same time, that’s not our main goal. We set out to do this, in order to get a chance to do what we really want to do and win a Super Bowl championship. I know our fans and Bills Mafia is probably going crazy right now. But there’s still a lot on the table. We still have two games left in the regular season that we have to go finish out and put our next foot forward and prepare for a really good New England team next week.”

Dion Dawkins

“I haven’t really caught the feeling yet. It’s… my head is still spinning. I’m very, very excited. In a sense, I’m kind of at a loss for words because… Buffalo has been waiting on this for 25 years. It took my class from getting here, four years. It’s just special. If I could explain it… it’s just an unexplainable feeling and this is really nothing and it’s still a really unexplainable feeling.”

Zack Moss

“I mean, it feels amazing. Being a rookie and experiencing this for the first time. You can’t really put it into words… especially with the way the world is with COVID, just getting to try and play football… just being able to go through all the protocols, all the rules and that, it’s really special.”

Micah Hyde

“Long time coming, finally got it done.”

Cole Beasley

“It’s always a good feeling to be on top of the division, but we still have a goal ahead of us. We’re going to celebrate tonight and then put it behind us and get ready for the next step.”

Jon Feliciano

“Super happy. This is my first time in football winning the division. Man, means a lot.

“It’s been a long time since we won the division title. Man, we know the job’s not done, but this one is definitely for Bills Mafia.”

Jerry Hughes

“Man, it feels amazing. This is something that, you know, we talked back [about] once I got to this organization. We spoke about bringing a division championship home to Buffalo so this is great to be apart of. This team, the way that Sean and Brandon Beane did it, assembled the team together and put guys in the right spots so we can be successful. The results are showing.”

Jordan Poyer

“It’s hard to describe, man. Guys work extremely hard, throughout the offseason, during the season and to get to this point, to get the opportunity to come out here and clinch the AFC East? It’s kind of indescribable. The guys work extremely hard, we’re a family. I think it’s been… I mean, I was four years old the last time the Bills won the AFC East. Huge win for our program, huge win for our city. We’re excited to keep building and move forward.”

Devin Singletary

“It’s major… 25 years, that’s a long time. That’s one of our goals we wanted to reach this year. We reached that, we’re going to enjoy it for about 24 hour and then move on.”

Report card: Bills top Steelers, 26-15

Report card for Buffalo Bills in their Week 14 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

In a top-seeded AFC showdown, the Buffalo Bills came out on top, 26-15, against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14. The Sunday Night Football contest again showed the Bills’ abilities off to the country.

In doing so, the Bills (10-3) weren’t a picture-perfect team against the Steelers (11-2). A lot did go right, though.

With that, here’s how Bills Wire’s latest report card for Buffalo looks following their win over Pittsburgh:

Bills vs. Steelers: 8 things to watch for and a prediction

Things to watch in Week 14 Buffalo Bills vs. Pittsburgh Steelers.

A big AFC playoff contest in en route in the NFL this weekend and the Buffalo Bills are involved in it.

The Bills (9-3) will host the AFC North leaders, the Pittsburgh Steelers (11-1), in Week 14. These two teams are not directly battling for playoff spots. However, seeding importance is huge here.

With four games left, if the Bills plan to move up in the conference, they have to beat the Steelers on Sunday Night Football.

With that, here are eight things to watch for and a prediction ahead of Week 14’s Bills-Steelers meeting:

Report card: Bills top 49ers, 34-24

Buffalo Bills, San Francisco 49ers report card for Week 13.

The Bills escaped the desert in Arizona in a much nicer fashion on Monday Night Football this time around.

Buffalo (9-3) topped the San Francisco 49ers (5-7), 34-24, in Week 13. It was a consistent effort all over the field for the Bills en route to the victory.

Following their latest win, here’s how Bills Wire graded out the Bills:

5 takeaways from the Bills’ 34-24 win over the 49ers

Takeaways from the Bills’ Week 13 win over the 49ers.

The Buffalo Bills left the national stage and made their prior game in Arizona a thing of the past. With the lights of Monday Night Football upon them, the Bills topped the San Francisco 49ers, 34-24.

Buffalo (9-3) didn’t quite cruise, but after a whacky start which included a few goal-line stops for both teams, the 49ers (5-7) took a brief lead early. From there, it was mostly all Bills.

With that, here are five takeaways from the Bills’ win over the 49ers in Week 13:

Allen shines on primetime again

It’s hard to argue that the Bills have a quarterback who doesn’t love when the lights are shining the brightest. Good news too, the Bills are in the midst of a couple games in a row under the circumstances of primetime football.

But even going back to last season, think about Thanksgiving, or late-heroics on Sunday Night Football against the Steelers. Bills quarterback Josh Allen loves these pressure-packed games because he usually plays pretty well in them and that was the case against the 49ers.

In the first half, Allen kept grabbing big chunks of yards, almost all of which came in the air. Allen had completions of 12, 35, 12, 13, 20, 18 and 28, just to name a few. What these completions did was kept the Bills offense on the field a lot more than their defense, that’s for sure.

Buffalo had a double-digit number of plays four times in this one, and even when the Bills went three-and-out, the offense settled for a field goal. This helped the Bills own time of possession against the Niners, 34:58 to 25:02. Hard for opposing teams to do much if they don’t have the ball, and Allen playing well puts even more pressure on them to do so.

In total, Allen, a week after only having 157 passing yards, went 32-for-40 passing for 375 yards passing with four total touchdowns. All of those went to different playmakers, too.

Have a night, Josh.
