Getting to Know Quarterback Derek Anderson and the Bills Offense | CLNS Media By Evan Lazar FOXBORO — As the Patriots turn the page to the Buffalo Bills (2-5) this week they’ll face another starting quarterback for their divisional foes. Since Tom Brady arrived in New England in 2000, the Bills have started 12 different quarterbacks against the Patriots, and 14-year veteran Derek Anderson will be number 13 on Monday night. Anderson, signed with the Bills on October 9th to backup rookie Josh Allen, and has appeared in one game for Buffalo starting last week’s loss to the Colts. “He’s been in the league. We saw him at Carolina, saw him at Cleveland. I mean, there’s plenty of film on him,” said head coach Bill Belichick at his Wednesday press conference. The coach then added, “I’m sure there will be some things that we’re not preparing for that they’ll do with him that may be different than what they did with [Josh] Allen.” Last week, the Buffalo offense struggled mightily, scoring only three points and turned the ball over five times, four of which were on Anderson as he threw three interceptions and lost a fumble.

Sabres' Bogosian is Healthy Again and Thriving Buffalo, NY (WGR 550) - I’ve been saying this since last season ended that we really don’t know what the Sabres have in Zach Bogosian because he hadn’t played one game here healthy. I think we got a glimpse of a healthy Bogosian in San Jose, Anaheim, Los Angeles and now here in Buffalo. In just five games Bogosian, Jake McCabe and Rasmus Ristolainen leads the team in blocks shots with 16 and fights with three. He also played fast and added a goal and an assist. Bogosian is happy and relieved to be healthy, “Yes, I feel good. I think it took me a couple of games to catch up to the game speed, but it just feels nice to be out there playing games again that’s for sure.”

Get more talented players and the culture will be just fine.
