Chiefs, Bills try to pull out of tailspin

‘Two teams heading in similar directions meet Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium, with the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills searching for victories to right the ship after disappointing losses.’

Bills looking to snap out of offensive, defensive slump Vs. Chiefs

‘“We have a great opportunity in front of us,” Taylor said when he spoke with reporters on Wednesday. “A big opportunity for us to go on the road against a very good team, and to out there and perform well. That’s where it starts. Preparation, going out there and practicing and doing whatever it takes to get that win.”’

Mental toughness a big part of the fix for Bills ‘D’

‘“It’s all fixable in the sense that we have to understand that it’s going to be a four-quarter fight,” said Jerry Hughes. “I think for us on defense what really helped us is how we played in the first half of the season. We played physical. We played comfortable. We had the mentality that no matter the situation we were going to get it done. That’s what we have to get back to. Really anything can happen in the course of a football game, but no matter what happens we can get it done.”’

Bills Life: Bills players make this Thanksgiving one to remember

‘ “This is my very first Thanksgiving event,” said Hyde. “I’m thankful for all the blessings and opportunities that have come my way. The staff does an awesome job. My fiancé Amanda, my mom, my step dad and people back home…they just do an awesome job with the foundation. They love to do it…It’s a blessing. I think these kids, who are young, we’re trying to relay the message to be thankful for everything you have and to also get some role models in front of them. It’s the holiday season and we just wanted to come here and have fun, and take their minds off everything.”’

Bills Today: McCoy looking to build off solid week 11 performance

‘“Yeah, we did some good things on Sunday,” McCoy said. “Guys blocked well, the running backs read the holes well. We prepared hard and knew we could get some lanes in there. It was the ability to make guys miss on the perimeter. That’s kind of how we run the ball.”’

Pollock: Bills’ McDermott starting to look over his head

‘“There are a lot of coaches who sit on their hands and make comfortable decisions … that’s not why I’m here. I’m here to win and sustain winning and in order to do that you’ve got to be willing to make (some) uncomfortable decisions.” Even if they’re tragically flawed and reversed within a week?’

Taylor back as starter after ‘interesting set of days’

‘”You never let things surprise you. My focus has still been the same. I’m going to continue to be the leader that I am, the player that I am, week in and week out. More important, as a team, we’ve got to fix what we haven’t done right the last three weeks and just get back on the winning side of the scoreboard.”‘

Players stand behind Sean McDermott’s decision at quarterback

‘“Just supportive of coach’s decision,” left guard Richie Incognito said. “He made the decision to go with Nate and we supported that. Tyrod came back in the game and it was back to normal. We’re obviously comfortable with Tyrod in the huddle and we just kind of picked up where we left off.”’

Bills set to face Reggie Ragland, who’s moved into full-time role for Chiefs

‘”I think for Reggie he came in right in the midst of the whole deal so he had no real foundation, no background in the system. So you’re trying to learn the system. He’s coming off the injury. When he started we had no idea when he’d be ready. Thought he was a really good football player but may take some time. I think since he’s been in there and he’s got the opportunity to practice consistently and get the reps that you need and then there’s nothing that can replace actual game experience, game speed and the more you see it the better I think you’re going to get. I think he’s made some nice progress here.”’

Jerry Sullivan: Give thanks, McDermott admits his mistake

‘McDermott likes to project a resolute image, a clear vision, but he’s been all over the place on the quarterback issue. He’s been no better than Rex Ryan on QBs. That’s what Terry and Kim Pegula get for giving unprecedented power to a novice head coach.’
