Sean McDermott mum on starting quarterback
‘”Yeah I get it, 5 interceptions, but you have to drill down on it and say why did it happen? Really who was at fault, so I can evaluate more thoroughly and accurately.”‘
Eric Wood wishes team had done more around Peterman
‘”It was surreal. I didn’t envision that happening. He starts 3 for 3, then we get a tipped ball of our own guys’ hand, it’s a pick. Then the next drive we get backed up, and it’s a pick. I wish we had done more around him.”‘

‘I mean honestly, you’d think maybe we’d seen it all in 17 years of the drought. This was a new low, which in and of itself is incredible. Who would’ve thought we’d get this?

McDermott Monday: No quarterback decision for Bills made yet
‘“One game is not going to define Nathan or Nathan’s career,” McDermott continued. “Young players go through it. And you saw some of it yesterday. And I put that back on myself. I said that yesterday I don’t regret the decision, I regret the result. We learn, we grown from it and we get better.”’

Quick Hits: QB decision TBD
‘“One game is not going to define Nathan or Nathan’s career,” he said. “Young players go through it and you saw some of that yesterday. I put that back on myself.

I’m confident in Nathan and his mental toughness. We move forward, we learn, we grow from it and we get better.”‘
