‘But it all worked out in the end, and the Bills gave me a reason to care about the out-of-town scoreboard and once again check out remaining schedules for other teams. Nothing like a win to make you feel better. Don’t ruin the mood by asking about the next game on the schedule.’

‘Overall, the defense forced Kansas City to punt eight times!’

‘Stop me if you’ve read or heard this before. Taylor didn’t put up great numbers. But he was efficient and smart and gave his team a chance to win. And he did more than that Sunday. He was one of the reasons they won, despite average numbers in the passing game. Taylor finished 19-for-23 for 183 yards, but had no interceptions and threw a big TD to Zay Jones. He also added 27 yards on the ground with smart running when he needed to. It was a good day for the QB one week after being benched.’

‘When asked if injured reserve is a consideration for Glenn, head coach Sean McDermott says, “We always, Brandon [Beane> and I always talk about everything. We look at all of our different options from all different angles. This case, no different.”‘

‘”You look around the league there’s a lot of teams in the hunt,” McDermott said. “We’re in the hunt. [It’s] Thanksgiving and close to the end of November and we’re in the hunt. When you sit around that table tomorrow you say, ‘we’re in the hunt.’ There are a lot of teams that wish they were in the hunt. Well, we’re in the hunt.”‘

‘McDermott said “we’ll see” when asked about Benjamin’s availability this Sunday when the team travels to Kansas City to face the Chiefs.’

‘The Bills, naturally, did neither thing, and they are a few weeks away from finalizing the season no one wanted for them and that they should have avoided at all costs: stuck in the middle, not good enough for the playoffs, not bad enough for the draft’s richest rewards.’

‘Bills fans were holding their breath when Kelvin Benjamin went down holding his knee, after making his first catch against the Chargers. Sean McDermott today at his press conference on Benjamin “good news is there’s no ligament damage to (Benjamin’s) knee. We’re still evaluating him.”‘

‘”Yeah I get it, 5 interceptions, but you have to drill down on it and say why did it happen? Really who was at fault, so I can evaluate more thoroughly and accurately.”‘

‘”It was surreal. I didn’t envision that happening. He starts 3 for 3, then we get a tipped ball of our own guys’ hand, it’s a pick. Then the next drive we get backed up, and it’s a pick. I wish we had done more around him.”‘

‘I mean honestly, you’d think maybe we’d seen it all in 17 years of the drought. This was a new low, which in and of itself is incredible. Who would’ve thought we’d get this? Maybe you hated this decision from the start, plenty of people did. But five first half interceptions? Honestly, it’s hard to process that it actually went as poorly as it did.’

‘The Chargers continued to move the ball with ease on the Bills.’

‘I want to say right up front here that I’m not going to judge Nathan Peterman on one game. It didn’t go well, and some of it wasn’t his fault. The position of quarterback is only one of the problems that face McDermott and his staff. I still don’t believe the future quarterback of the Buffalo Bills is even on the roster yet. In the mean time, the team has a lot of work to do.’

‘The bigger issue with McDermott is whether or not he just lost the locker room. That may sound a bit extreme considering the Bills are still tied for 6th place in the AFC but you know there are players, especially those that believe in Taylor that are wondering what the heck McDermott was thinking? It might be tough to preach “trust the process” this week around One Bills Drive.’

‘That’s 638(!) yards given up on the ground by the Bills defense in the last three weeks. Over 212 average per game. Wow.’
