‘With Orton dueling with Brian Hoyer, it was kinda like watching a game with Turkey Bowl with an all-time quarterback. And Browns coach Mike Pettine is going to be second-guessed for a long time at how long he took to insert first-round draft pick Johnny Manziel.’

‘Let’s call it like it is, this team is not making the playoffs. They are headed in the right direction and playing really good football down the stretch that is something to be happy and proud about but five conference losses and games against Green Bay, Denver, and New England on the horizon makes the playoffs a little bit more than a pipe dream. It’s a feel good win as the Bills return triumphantly to Ralph Wilson Stadium and shut up Johnny Manziel and Donte Whitner while beating old friend Mike Pettine.’

‘Coaching: Grade B: When was the last time the Bills were 7-5? It was 2000.’

‘Buffalo’s defense posted a pair of sacks to move their season total to 48.’

‘”It should have been four (interceptions),” he said. “I know a lot of people from back home are going to get on me about that. I dropped two of them. It was good to get two. It’s good to get one, so when you get two it feels great.”‘
