Buffalo Bills WR Kelvin Benjamin was bad vs. Ravens and owned it
‘”We just didn’t execute,” Benjamin said. “I had a couple passes that I felt I should’ve come down with. There was the one in the end zone, the conditions were crazy out there but there’s no excuses.”‘
Bills at Ravens: Buffalo lives up to low expectations in Week 1 (10 observations)
‘The offensive line was bad, but Peterman simply wasn’t good. He wasn’t hitting his targets, and the interception he threw in the first half brought back memories of his five-interception game against the Los Angeles Chargers last season. Peterman missed badly on throws and finished with a zero quarterback rating. The question seemed to be when Peterman would be pulled, not if, and now it’s worth thinking about when the Bills should move on from the Peterman experiment and insert Josh Allen permanently.’
Baltimore blows out Buffalo Bills: 3 reasons to be encouraged, 7 reasons to worry
‘After getting thoroughly embarrassed, it would be nice to see some fire from the head coach. Instead, Sean McDermott gave the same “we’ll have to look at the film” response that Bills fans have grown accustomed to. Following a dud like Sunday’s game, no look back at film should be needed. The team was simply unprepared for the Ravens and that falls on McDermott.’
Bills try to explain what went wrong in blowout loss to Ravens in Week 1
‘”We had a lot of penalties and we had a couple of negative plays. Before we can win, we gotta stop from beating ourselves, you know? We just have to come out and focus and execute. We’re going to take it for what it is and use this week to get better. Weeks like this build character. We’re going to try to stay together and come out as a family and just work on getting better.”‘

‘Legitimate chance Buffalo Bills may be the WORST NFL team we’ve seen this decade’ (Media reactions)
‘There is a legitimate chance that this year’s @buffalobills may be the WORST NFL team we’ve seen this decade. Forget records (the 0-16teams in Detroit & CLEVELAND in recent memory. I’m not talking record. I’m just saying they are God-Awful. Is there any worse than Peterman?’
NFL Week 2 odds, over/under: Bills are sizable home underdog to Chargers
‘The lopsided loss likely influenced the opening line in the Bills’ Week 2 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers. Buffalo is a 7 1/2-point underdog at home against Philip Rivers, who threw for 420 yards and three touchdowns in a loss to Kansas City in Week 1.’
Vontae Davis inactive for Buffalo Bills in opener vs. Baltimore Ravens

Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy ‘not likely’ to be charged in connection to robbery
‘In the lawsuit, which was filed on Aug. 10 in Fulton County (Georgia) court, Cordon says she was a victim of “multiple crimes and has suffered significant damages.” Cordon is seeking $133,000, which is the estimated total of stolen jewelry, “most of which was purchased by McCoy.”‘
Bills need to make a change at QB
‘For some reason, Bills head coach Sean McDermott decided to put Peterman out there as the starter for Week 1. Apparently he forgot what happened the last time Peterman started a game by choice. The first time McDermott turned to Peterman last season, he threw five interceptions before halftime against the Los Angeles Chargers. This time wasn’t any better, as the Bills trailed 40-0 before finally turning to Josh Allen.’

Nathan Peterman stinks it up as Bills creamed by Ravens
‘Bills GM Brandon Beane and head coach McDermott obviously had hoped that whatever improvements the team had been seeing from Peterman in spring and summer practices, as well as in some impressive preseason moments, were believable indications that Peterman was now far more capable than he’d shown in that awful first pro start last November.’
Report: McCoy unlikely to be charged in ex’s alleged home invasion, assault
‘The NFL conducts its own investigations into such allegations, and – as in the Ezekiel Elliott domestic-violence case resolved last season – says it reserves the right to reach conclusions different from, and irrespective of, those of law enforcement.’
