‘Pryor’s stats would make him the third best receiver on the Bills in only six games. Zay Jones has 25 receptions for 281 yards and one touchdown, while Kelvin Benjamin also has just one touchdown and 262 receiving yards on 16 catches.’

Bills defensive gem is wasted, lose to New England 25-6
‘Derek Anderson was 22-of-39 for 290 yards and that interception to McCourty. LeSean McCoy only has 13 yards on 12 carries, but led the Bills in receiving with 6 catches and 82 yards. Zay Jones reeled in 6 passes for 55 yards as well for Buffalo, while Chris Ivory led the Bills in rushing with 34 yards on just 6 carries.’
Sal’s Sticks: Patriots at Bills
‘The Bills gained 12 yards running the ball on their very first play from scrimmage. After that, they gained a total of 30 yards for the entire football game. That’s just brutal. For the game, they averaged only 2.4 yards per carry. After the first run, the average only 1.8 yards per carry. We know this team has enough trouble throwing the football. Add to it these numbers running and it will not be a good outcome, and wasn’t.’
Report: Bills offer contract to WR Terrelle Pryor
‘Pryor is 29 years old and has played for four teams in his NFL career dating back to 2011. He played in Oakland, Cleveland, Washington, and most recently with the New York Jets. With the Jets this season, Pryor had two touchdowns and 235 receiving yards. He was released after sustaining a groin injury. Comparing Pryor to some of the other receivers Buffalo has, Zay Jones has one touchdown and 226 receiving yards. Kelvin Benjamin also has just one touchdown and 217 receiving yards.’
Patriots at Bills: Sal’s keys, notes and stats
‘No one is giving the Bills chance in this one, and it’s understandable why. The Patriots have dominated the Bills since Bill Belichick and Tom Brady became a tandem in 2001. The Pats are 30-4 against the Bills since Brady became the starter in New England. They’re about fourteen point favorites in this one, which is a huge number for any road team in the NFL. But the Bills and their fans would love nothing better than to prove everyone wrong, in a big way, on national TV.’
McCoy still in protocol, but practicing on a limited basis
‘Veteran linebacker Lorenzo Alexander and defensive tackle Kyle Williams received rest days, typical for them on a Wednesday, but with the game on Monday night next week, Thursday’s practice was treated as a normal Wednesday would be.’
Schefter predicts that McCoy will be traded
‘”I just think that there’ll be teams that make calls on him. If you’re a team that needs a running back why not call the Buffalo Bills and try to get something done. I think other teams (other than the Eagles) have called on LeSean McCoy. There will be more teams that call on LeSean McCoy by next week. My prediction is when we have this conversation next Wednesday on Halloween, my prediction is he’ll be the biggest name that gets traded.”‘
Capaccio: Examining trade possibilities for McCoy, Benjamin, Hughes, Lawson
‘At McCoy’s age and position, he wouldn’t normally fetch much from another team. However, this is a potential future Hall of Fame player who takes very good care of his body and probably still has multiple good years left in him if put in the right situation.’
Trapasso – Allen is playing like your typical rookie quarterback
‘”I think he was playing like your typical or average rookie quarterback who does have the talent and can see why he was picked in the first round. I think the game, the speed of defenses, whether he was playing good defenses or bad defenses, he wasn’t really acclimated to that yet. And there were times where there were some open receivers and open first reads that he wasn’t pulling the trigger on. Then there were times in small little flashes that he was doing that.”‘
McCoy still in concussion protocol, Anderson will start again at QB
‘Defensive end Trent Murphy left the game late with knee injury. McDermott said he’s week-to-week, but wouldn’t rule out Murphy playing Monday night against the New England Patriots, saying “we’ll see” when asked.’
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.”‘
Bills sputter to 2-5 on the year, lose to the Colts 37-5
‘While the offense had another poor day, the Bills defense was also ripped apart, especially in a disastrous second quarter that blew the doors open.’
Yikes.
‘If you didn’t laugh you’d cry.’
