Two Bills Drive

'This is good and bad news. The good first. The team's value actually went up from last year, but the bad news because we're the least valuable team in the league.'

'“Some long drives and then we’d stop them. Instead of 3-and-out and then punt and the field position shifts,” linebacker Lorenzo Alexander said following the loss. “Then, turnovers. We had a couple of balls in our hands. If you hold onto those you give your offense a short field.”'

'When pressed a second time on the possibility of changing quarterbacks, the head coach fired back with, “We look at every position. I’ve said that before. It’s never just one guy, that’s what you have to understand. There’s 11 guys on the field and there are 46 guys dressed. We can all do our part and do a better job and that’s what I expect going forward.”'

'They’re hosting their annual blood drive Tuesday at New Era Field from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m.'

'The Bills are a below-average offensive team that relies too much on running the football – particularly against top defenses. The strategy by opponents is pretty basic: stop LeSean McCoy on the ground and force Buffalo to throw.'

'“This is about us moving forward as an organization as a football team to get better and better and better,” he said. “That’s every position. What I said earlier I meant. We have to do that. We have to be honest with ourselves with what we’re getting and put ourselves in the best position to win games.”'

'Taylor’s final stat line was 17 for 25 passing, totaling 125-yards. A good chunk of those yards came on the team’s final possession. LeSean McCoy couldn’t reenact his Week One performance; he carried the ball 12 times for nine-yards.'

'Carolina’s sacks of Bills QB Tyrod Taylor were recorded by defensive end Mario Addison, his first of the campaign and 37-year-old end Julius Peppers, who got two and now has 2 ½ on the season. “I was the beneficiary today, but we all did a great job and we all controlled our rush lanes,” he said.'

'The puffy eyes that were working overtime not to spill more tears in front of all of the cameras and microphones crowded around him as he stood in front of his dressing cubicle in the visitors' dressing room at Bank of America Stadium. The empty expression the rookie receiver wore as reporters asked him to relive the most painful moment of his two-game NFL career. The body language that was a mixture of humiliation, disappointment and anger.'

'“I just did not play good,” McCoy said matter-of-factly after the game. “No excuses. I’m out there, and I gotta get it done. Didn’t get it done. I didn’t make the plays today.”'

'Buffalo’s six sacks were the most the team has recorded since it put up seven against the New York Jets on Nov. 24, 2014. Against a former league MVP, the Bills made life difficult for Cam Newton.'

'The Bills played a sensational defensive game against Cam Newton and the Panthers. They sacked Newton six times, harassed him into a bunch of poor throws, stopped a dozen plays for loss in all, allowed a meager 2.8 yards per rush, didn't allow a touchdown. And still, it wasn't enough.'

'If the offense had held up its end of the bargain – or done virtually anything – McDermott would have come away from Charlotte with a rousing victory, one that made him the first Bills head coach ever to start 2-0.'

'There were plenty of chances for the Bills to put points on the board early. But instead, there were far too many three-and-outs and way too little production from LeSean McCoy (nine yards on 12 carries) in the running game. Save for that final fourth-quarter drive, their receivers were a non-factor for much of the afternoon.'
