'For the first seven games this team has been nothing but a fraud and that goes on the head coach. There are still nine games left and that doesn’t mean they won’t take the bye week and really make some changes in what they’re trying to do in all phases of the game.'

'The four Jags touchdowns came within 5:40.'

'The fault falls more squarely on missed opportunities and penalties, including a penalty on the man who squarely placed Buffalo back in the driver’s seat of the game, helping to engineer the comeback — Corey Graham. His excessive celebration call helped out the Jacksonville offense on their game-winnning drive, along with a penalty on Nickell Robey that bailed out Bortles on a third and long situation near midfield.'

'Sara, another fan called her Bills trip “incredible… It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity.”'

'his was the kind of loss that kills a team’s playoff chances; the kind of loss that will be singled out should the Bills 15-season playoff drought becomes 16 seasons.'

'But with the Bills having pulled to within 14 points, against all odds, by halftime, I can’t give credit to the defense for allowing the Jaguars to reel off a soul-sucking 9-plus minute drive. That time off the clock might as well have been another 3-6 points.'

'We knew it wasn't going to be easy, even against a 1-5 team because of all the injuries, but the team played like they were still on east coast time and didn't wake up until the awful stretch of the 2nd quarter put them in a huge hole. By the time they did wake up it was a surprise to see they had enough firepower to comeback making the loss even that much more heartbreaking. You almost wish they would have got blown out. It would have been easier to get over it than them teasing you into thinking they were going to have some sort of great win only to have the vaunted defense collapse in crunch time. The team needs to take a long, hard look at themselves as 3-4 is unacceptable with all the hope and all the talent they have.'

'EJ Manuel struggled mightily with his accuracy early than got careless with the football to disastrous results. He had two passes batted down and several inaccurate throws to open receivers before giving up a fumble return for a touchdown and two interceptions, one was returned for a score and another led to a score. He bounced back with a nice 85 yard drive and touchdown pass to Robert Woods before halftime. He played well in the second half as well but couldn't lead them back one more time in the final minutes.'

'Jacksonville scored an unlikely touchdown on the heels of a pass interference call when Allen Hurns laid out for a 31-yard grab in the front left corner of the end zone to reclaim the lead (34-31) with just over two minutes remaining.'

'“We were just at that point of the game where somebody had to step up and make a big play,” he said. “EJ gave me an opportunity and gave me a quick throw and the line blocked real well up front and I was able to catch it and it was a foot race after that.”'

'“Especially with the way the offense is,” Brown said, “we have so many injuries we’ve got to be that attacking, physical defense. So we have to send a lot of blitzes and get them off their spot.”'

'“I don’t know if it’s a measuring stick,” said Ryan, who called the Bengals game just that. “It’s just a game. That’s what this one is. Obviously, we have a lot of good football players not playing. But it’s no excuse. We got to find a way – scratch, claw, do whatever it takes to get a win.”'

'Bills 24, Jaguars 14.'

'"I am in the studio with two former NFL players," he said. "We go live at the conclusion of the Bills game for a review-preview show. … I do the same thing as James Brown and Curt Menefee" of Fox Sports, "but we are on call throughout the game because we don't have as many commercial breaks in Britain as they give in America so during those breaks" in the game feeds from the U.S. "they come back to the studio and we fill until it's time to head back to the announcers at the stadium."'
