'Perhaps this all has something to do with Ryan’s future. For if the Bills continue down this path, Ryan could find himself in TV sooner than anyone thinks.'

'Ryan didn’t like this line of questioning one bit.'

'The Giants knew to expect that kind of Rexcitability from the Bills. But even they were taken aback by some of the things that went on, including linebacker Preston Brown drawing an unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty in the fourth quarter for basically going berserk on the field.'

'"Oh, we're over [the line" target="_blank">," Bills safety Corey Graham said. "I mean, it's embarrassing. It is embarrassing to go out there and get all those penalties. I mean it is one after another. Dumb penalties, situations you just jave to shut up sometimes. So it's one of those situations we can't afford to do it, and we can't spot teams all those yards and we just have to be more disciplined. It's very disappointing."'

'They entered Sunday with an opportunity to show that they had taken the next step – that they could compile consecutive victories in impressive fashion. But they fell flat on their face. Until further notice, it’s the same old Bills.'

'The Giants limited Buffalo to a combined 77 yards and two first downs on its first nine possessions. And then the Bills came away with no points on two drives into the red zone.'

'It was the second straight dud of a performance at home for Buffalo — and both following convincing victories.'

'"We made too many mistakes to win," Ryan said. "We'll fix it."'

'The donation to the Roswell Park Cancer Center announced last week will establish the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Quality of Life Endowment at the hospital.'

'The Giants defense stifled the Bills offense throughout the first half and made a crucial goal line stand early in the fourth quarter in holding Buffalo to its lowest point total of the season. The Bills continued to show a lack of discipline with 16 penalties for a total of 46 this season.'

'Glenn attempted to play after having his left ankle taped on the sideline but lasted just one play. Cyrus Kouandjio replaced Glenn at left tackle.'

'The Bills need their defensive lineman to earn their money. Mario Williams, Marcell Dareus, Jerry Hughes and Kyle Williams are collectively counting more than $40 million against the salary cap this season. Against the Giants, they combined for 13 tackles, one for a loss. None of them recorded a sack or a quarterback hit. Hughes also took two personal foul penalties, and Kyle Williams was the culprit on the illegal formation infraction.'

'"I get it, no question about it," Ryan said after Sunday's game. "We can focus on the negatives and all that — and I get it, that's your guys' job — but you might not understand the game the way I understand [it" target="_blank"> because I've been on the other side. I've been a part of a 20-some-penalty performance by the Ravens, OK? And we went on and we fixed it. We'll fix it here."'

'McCoy sustained a setback and an MRI revealed a new tear in his hamstring. McCoy is expected to make a full recovery in three to four weeks, FOX Sports 1's NFL insider Mike Garafolo reported.'

'Another way to phrase “lack of mental focus” for Buffalo: stupidity. The Bills were missing running back LeSean McCoy and receiver Sammy Watkins on Sunday, but those absences aren’t why the team lost. They lost because they just did not play like a particularly smart group.'
