Two Bills Drive

'BKL: When you first signed your contract, what was the first thing you bought? SL: “I bought my mom a house. It’s something as a kid I always wanted to do. Make sure my family is right and when I got the check I went to go find my mom a house.”'

'Ramon Humber and Jordan Poyer led the team in tackles both racking up eleven. Buffalo only allowed 255 yards against a strong Panthers offense.'

'Sadly, what we saw Sunday is what we’re going to see a lot this season. Really solid defense. Mediocre offense. And more losses than wins.'

'We have been saying for a long time that Taylor needs to finish games to be considered a quality NFL quarterback. He had another chance today then overthrew Jones. A good throw there and it's a game winning touchdown. That hurt that they got that close to winning a game they had no business being in and lost that way.'

'Although the Panthers managed just three field goals until the late stages of the game, the Bills offense was stuck in neutral for most of the day and could manage only a field goal in a 9-3 loss to Carolina.'

'“We got a lot of pressure,” said Alexander. “(Number) one (Newton) is special. I don’t know how much he weighs, but 6-5 and 230 or 240. You’ve got to really try to wrap him up or try to get the ball out. But he extended a lot of plays and made some plays with his arm. Threw it in there like I knew he would because he’s a competitor regardless of his shoulder.”'

'I’ll start off by giving their defense credit, they’ve got a talented bunch over there and we knew it would be tough sledding coming in here for their home opener. They did a good job. With that said, we’ve got to do a better job in some areas and we will. I thought we had some opportunities and we had some good looks at some things, so we’ve got to put some more plays back to back. We didn’t have good first down success early in the game and then we came out in the second half and had good first down success so staying on schedule that way was important for us. So we’ve just got to go back to work.'

'Clay’s role could be larger than expected since primary return man Brandon Tate is inactive for today’s game.'

'“There’s a rule out there that snitches get stitches, but I’m gonna get a lot of stitches this week,” Tolbert said.'

'"He was inherited the defense with the Eagles," Rivera said Thursday at Bank of America Stadium, "but here he was able to put his stamp on it."'

'Again, does Taylor have what it takes to lift his team on the road, to rise up in difficult times like the elite quarterbacks? There are times when a franchise QB has to be the best player on the field, the difference between winning and losing in a hostile environment, the defiant gunslinger.'

'Talk about a heavyweight fight. Incognito has been a star since he rejoined the Bills in 2015. He was PFF's second-highest graded offensive guard in 2015. Last year, he finished in seventh place at his position. The veteran flourished against the Jets in Week One and received PFF's top guard grade. Short, who predominately lines up as Carolina's right defensive tackle — meaning he'll see plenty of Incognito at left guard — has risen to stardom over the past two seasons, as well. He graded as PFF's No. 4 defensive tackle in 2015 and climbed to No. 2 last season.'

'Flutie’s rating of 130.1 is also the best among the group and oddly enough, Kelly had the worst game — going 4 for 21 for 176 yards, one touchdown, three interceptions, and a 38.3 rating. To give you an idea of just how bad that is, had he instead gone 0 for 21 with no interceptions, his rating would have been 39.6.'

'We'll be tracking this all season.
