'The private meeting takes place Tuesday night at One Bills Drive from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Lot owners were asked to RSVP to the event.'

'“I’m definitely going to be out there playing (Thursday),” said Watkins after the team’s walk through practice Monday. “I’m just trying to get prepared for this week and go up against a great defense.”'

'“He’s sore. That’s what it is and we’ll see how he progresses,” said Ryan. “That’s it. You’re concerned with every injury, but hopefully he’ll progress through the week and be ready to roll.”'

'Serving as the team’s primary blocking back and on special teams, Felton is expected to re-assume those roles in his second stint with the club.'

'“We were all locked in pretty much from the start,” Jonathan Meeks told Buffalobills.com. “(Coach Ryan) told us multiple times throughout the week to be prepared to play and Rex is a man of his word, so we were all ready. Duke got the start. I got the rotation in the second half and Blanton was in there for different packages. So they just used everybody. You’ve just got to be ready.”'

'And linebacker Preston Brown, who tied for the team lead in tackles against Baltimore, added, “When we go out there and hold them to 13 points, that’s a good job. But we had to outplay them on defense and that’s what we didn’t do today. They had a better defense and that’s why they got the win. If we hold them to six points today, we outplay their defense.”'

'“There’s some penalties I can’t live with like on the field goal. We know the rules … it’s just frustrating.” Unfortunately, it’s also been frustrating for Bills fans for 17 straight years and Sunday gave no indication it’s going to change for this season.'

'Sammy Watkins, Buffalo’s No. 1 receiver, was limping after the game and after taking off his pads appeared to be heading for the x-ray room.'

'The first game is in the books, and it was worse than a skeptic could have imagined. The offense began its season of high promise with its worst performance in a decade, mustering 160 total yards in an embarrassing and unsightly 13-7 loss to the Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium.'

'Tyrod Taylor needs to give a next-level performance. Not even close.'

'"We've got a bunch of guys that can cover," safety Corey Graham said. "It's not going to be a bunch of guys just running wide open the majority of the time. So (Flacco's) going to have to hold the ball and tuck the ball a little bit playing against us, because we've got a lot of guys that can go out there and lock up on their guys."'

'The defense was good enough. The offense was historically inept.'

'“We need Aaron for the long haul,” coach Rex Ryan explained after the Bills’ 13-7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium. “There’s no question he’s missed a ton of time – all minicamp and training camp. … With Duke and Meeks rotating, we’re going to play our whole roster. We said that. We’re breaking them in.'

'It was a rematch of coordinators from Super Bowl XLVII in 2013, and Baltimore’s Pees came out on top again.'
