Sean McDermott: Bills’ confidence ‘probably shaken’ ahead of MNF showdown with Patriots
‘”I think naturally the confidence is probably a little bit shaken,” McDermott said. “We didn’t take the step like we wanted to (this week) but every week in the NFL is a new week. You have to come back and get back on the horse and grow and make adjustments from the areas where we weren’t up to par last week.”‘
9 things Bills OC Brian Daboll said about Bills’ lifeless offense that is NFL’s worst
‘”Anytime you turn the football over, particularly down there in the scoring zone, that’s a momentum changer. I know there’s no one that’s more distraught about it than Charles. He’s a big-time team player. It was unfortunate that we got the ball stripped there and they got into it. But it’s a momentum changer. When you turn the football over, it’s a momentum changer, particularly at that juncture of the game where we were at.”‘
Rams receiver Robert Woods heads toward career year after escaping Buffalo
‘The Rams knew. They’d seen Woods run routes, watched him block, heard about his intelligence and seen it show up on tape. Perhaps they also understand something that couldn’t be quantified by stats, that Woods would have been better off catching balls from a JUGS machine than from Buffalo Bills quarterbacks.’
2019 NFL Draft: 10 prospects the Buffalo Bills might target
‘Nick Bosa made national headlines recently when he decided to leave Ohio State to rehab a core muscle injury and specifically prepare for the NFL. Most mock drafts have Bosa going first overall because of his combination of speed, power and technique. He’s a chip off the old block, as they say, and is expected to have the same impact his brother Joey Bosa has had in the NFL since joining the Los Angeles Chargers. The Bills have done a good job getting to the quarterback this season but adding a pass rusher the caliber of Bosa would be hard to pass up if they draft in a position where he is available.’
New England Patriots QB Tom Brady: Bills Mafia, here we come
‘Brady opens the video message by saying, “Another great win – 5-2, gotta get to 6-2.” Teammate Lawrence Guy added, “6-2, on the way,” before Brady finishes the message by saying “Woo! Bills Mafia, here we come.”‘

Bills QB Anderson to start against Patriots; Allen ruled out
‘Anderson will start despite showing plenty signs of rust in throwing three interceptions and losing a fumble in a 37-5 loss at Indianapolis on Sunday. It was Anderson’s first start in nearly two years, and after being lured out of semiretirement to sign with Buffalo on Oct. 9.’
Can Bills sink any lower?
‘Not thinking about it too long is a wise decision, because that performance in Indianapolis was beyond abysmal, in many ways more rancid than the 47-3 loss to the Ravens on opening day. They were the playoff-contending Ravens; this was the 1-5 Colts who have an excellent quarterback in Andrew Luck, and not a whole lot else.’
Bills QB Josh Allen still out; Derek Anderson to start again
‘Running back LeSean McCoy traveled back with the Bills from Indianapolis but remains in the concussion protocol after suffering a head injury Sunday, McDermott said.’

McDermott – In Buffalo, you’ve got to be able to run the football
‘”Let’s face it, where we live, in Buffalo, you’ve got to be able to run the football, play blue collar football and win at the line of scrimmage. That said, as the game has evolved over the years, it’s become a pass driven league. You need to be able to throw the ball from a dropback standpoint when you have to throw the ball. Whether it’s two minute or third downs or the red zone, those are big parts of game.”‘
Kyle Williams – We didn’t do a good enough job
‘”We’re not where we wanted to be… We’ve had a tough first half, we’ve been on the road a lot, we’re kind of coming home. A good bit of our back half of the season is at home and we want to play well at home… The only way to get through it is to work your tail off and work your way through it.”‘
