Bills tried to move Marcell Dareus before the season, remain open to it now
‘Dareus, who drew the ire (rightfully so) of the new regime of coach Sean McDermott and general manager Brandon Beane for arriving late to a preseason game at Baltimore after years of previous transgressions, was on the trading block prior to roster cutdowns in September, other NFL executives said, but interest was muted. Dareus, who has performed at an elite level at times in his career but has also worn out his welcome in Buffalo with suspensions and lackluster play, was seen as un-tradebable by other team’s given his off-field woes and his massive contract.’
Bills hold on for 30-27 win over the Buccaneers
‘The Bills defense gives up the most points all season in any game, but they force three turnovers and give the Bills offense a chance to put up some points. This included a late forced fumble by cornerback Tre’Davious White to set up Stephen Hauschka for the game-winning field goal with 18-seconds to play.’
The Bills win wasn’t pretty, but it was impressive
‘Will it continue? All I’ll say is it should be fun finding out.’
Bills-Buccaneers: Arrow Up/Arrow Down
‘The wideout was just signed last week after being released by the Chicago Bears. All he did was catch four passes to lead all players with 107 receiving yards and come up with a few huge grabs the Bills desperately needed, including the longest play of the game – a 59-yard pass and catch from Tyrod Taylor on the first play after the Buccaneers took the lead in the fourth quarter. Thompson also had receptions of 23 and 27 yards on the day. It was just his second 100-yard performance of his 42-game career.’
Welcome back Shady! McCoy finally finds endzone in Bills win over Bucs

Joe B: 7 observations from Buffalo Bills – Tampa Bay Buccaneers (10/22/17)
‘I’ll be the first to admit that over the past three seasons, I’ve given my share of criticisms towards Tyrod Taylor’s game. By this point, we all know what he is as a starting quarterback — and that’s someone that can make a few fascinating plays with his legs, make a throw or three that are great, and that won’t cost his team the victory by turning the ball over. He’s also a good enough quarterback to help a team sneak into the playoffs… and his effort down the stretch against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was indicative of that.’

McDermott takes the blame for poor clock management
‘”That was my fault. That was all my fault. I thought we could get three plays off right there, meaning a complete or a a shot [at the end zone] and then a spike after that. We’ll go back and work on that. That’s all my fault,” admitted McDermott after the game.’
Pitoniak: White saves the day on a day when the Bills defense gets carved up
‘White had come up with a bounce-back, game-changing play – the kind of opportunistic play that saved a game and perhaps indicates that after 17 years of bad luck the breaks may finally be going the Bills way. Don’t get him wrong. Despite the self-flagellation, White was thankful for the win. “It doesn’t matter how you get it,’’ he said. “It matters that you get it because it’s hard to win games in this league.”’
Bills Come From Behind To Beat Bucs 30-27
‘These are games the Bills usually lose. The fact that they showed resilience to come back and win after falling behind in the fourth quarter is a testimony to where they are at as a team.’

What they’re saying: Bills discuss keys to the come-from-behind win against Tampa Bay
‘We changed the scheme up a little bit. I had more one-on-one opportunities and I felt I ran solid, too. I mean I know at the end it was kind of slow running the clock out, but overall I thought I ran the ball well. Maybe a play or two, I wish I could’ve had a difference as the outcome. But overall, we ran the ball solid. Tyrod [Taylor] really just took over today, throwing it and running it.’
Top 3 things we learned from Bills-Buccaneers
‘“It felt good for sure,” said McCoy. “I was so happy to get in there, and the guys up front were really happy for me to get in there. It’s been a while. I’m used to being in the end zone so it felt good. I really enjoyed that second one to get it after that fumble.”’
