Two Bills Drive

'After a 1-1 start that only fueled lingering doubts about the team's fortunes mainly because of shaky quarterback play, Taylor responded with authority. He made clutch throws. He avoided critical mistakes. He expertly operated a game plan that largely stayed one step ahead of one of the top defenses in the NFL.'

'“This year our event will have a sports theme,” event co-chair Ginny Lyons said in a news release. “The silent auction and raffle will consist of sports related items and we will also have some games and trivia activities prior to our sit down dinner.”'

'Cordy, as it looks right now is probably not going to make it. Shaq, again as it looks right now, will more than likely be a game-time decision.'

'Go win in Atlanta; then we can re-evaluate. If the Bills do that, it would be their best road victory since when? I’m not counting New England with Jacoby Brissett at QB last year. And Rex Ryan getting over on the Jets at New York in 2015 isn’t good enough, either. I’d consider perhaps at Chicago on opening day 2014, or in Arizona in 2012, or in Kansas City on opening day 2011.'

'If Taylor can give the Bills something like this every week, or preferably better, it would go a long way toward unlocking the running game which has been completely stymied the last two weeks, and in turn, that gives the entire offense a better chance to operate efficiently.'

'"He is an amazing athlete and a great receiver just the way he gets those breaks," Matthews said. "A lot of tall receivers have a hard time when it comes to getting in and out of the cuts. Most of the time they are running D balls, on targets, on third down targets, in the first down game, deep come backs, he has a full repertoire. I think most people would consider him one of the best, if not the best, receivers in the game as far as talent and overall physical ability. I think he has more balance than probably anybody at the position. He is a fun guy to watch, but him, Larry (Fitzgerald), Jordy Nelson, I love watching all those guys."'

'"Before that receiver class, the general consensus was it took receivers usually until their third year," Matthews said. "Nobody tripped when a receiver went for 300 yards and three touchdowns in their first season. Nobody batted an eye. It was just ok, he was getting going. Now everybody expects it to be like, 'Week 4, I need two touchdowns I drafted you on my fantasy team.' Fantasy has killed the game. I think it's just one of those things where you have to be patient."'

'Tyrod Taylor had one of his best games as a Bills in Week 3. He was efficient but took calculated risks in the passing game to help the Bills pick up big plays. He did it all with the absence of a running game. Nobody expects Taylor to out-duel Matt Ryan on his home field, but if Taylor can keep the Bills’ offense moving like he did against the Broncos, that will go a long way toward helping the Bills pull off the upset.'

'The Bills' defense has kept them in all three games this season, but Buffalo will need to score more points in Week 4 against the Falcons. If Buffalo finds themselves in a shootout, they'll have to rely more on Tyrod Taylor's arm. The Falcons are currently 21st in the league in passing yards allowed (245.7) so Taylor could have success through the air.'

'Next to Lawson on the defensive line, at defensive tackle, Marcell Dareus (ankle) and Jerel Worthy (concussion), will both play. Worthy has missed several weeks battling the injury he suffered during the preseason. He’ll go against Atlanta, but it’s a “we’ll see” in terms of his work load.'

'Glenn injured his right foot and ankle against the Carolina Panthers in Week 2. Glenn had previously been limited by a left foot injury for much of the preseason.'

'Falcons, 27-17.'

'The question at this point is whether Shaq Lawson plays on Sunday. Lawson showed up on the injury report on Thursday, he was limited with a groin injury. Friday, he did not practice and is officially listed as questionable for the game. Lawson has sacks in back to back games against the Broncos and Panthers. If he were to miss the game, Eddie Yarborough and Eddie Davis would likely fill the gap.'
