[26CornerBlitz]

Washington's fast start too much for Bills to overcome

Absent improvement, Ryan forecasts changes

Rex Ryan thought on the whole his team's effort was good, but consistent play hasn't translated from the practice field to the game field much this season. It had Ryan predicting noticeable change in the offseason absent any dramatic improvement in the team's final two games.

"When you have a season like this, there have to be changes."

Players, Ryan feel burden of missing playoffs

There were a healthy number of disappointed players in Buffalo's locker room Sunday knowing another season had gone by without playoff football.

#Bills coach Rex Ryan starts his Monday press conference by saying "it was pretty much an awful performance." So we're off and running ...

Rex Ryan says it looked like his secondary lacked confidence, which is the thing he was most disappointed in. #Bills

Rex Ryan, on his comment after the game about drastic changes, doubles down, saying "changes, basically, are inevitable." #Bills

@ChrisBrownBills

Rex on lack of confidence in secondary: we were playing so far off & wasn't how we practiced it. Right techniques not used at times. #Bills

@JoeBuscaglia

#Bills HC Rex Ryan: I read all of Sammy's comments. I love the fact that he's taking accountability.

#Bills HC Rex Ryan: We believe we have a better team than our record would indicate.

#Bills HC Rex Ryan: I'm aware of Mario's comments. I think most everybody is frustrated.

#Bills HC Rex Ryan: As far as the substitutions and all that, you're not going to go with small personnel groupings when there are extra OL

#Bills HC Rex Ryan: There's nobody in this building that questioned whether or not Mario was sick.

@JaySkurski

Rex said Mario Williams didn't eat for three straight days and was wearing a mask in the facility when he did come in. "He clearly was sick"

@SalSports

"He clearly was sick. But he came in and got the game plan and tried to make up for it. I admire fact he came back and toughed it out" -Rex

@JoeBuscaglia

#Bills HC Rex Ryan: I would love for Mario to be back next year. Does that mean that there won't be changes along the way? No, we know that.

@JaySkurski

John Miller reinjured his high-ankle sprain, Rex said. Reiterates when a player doesn't finish a game, the outlook isn't great for next week

LeSean McCoy is scheduled for an MRI on his knee injury today. Randell Johnson has a high-ankle sprain. "That doesn't look good." #Bills

Robert Woods has a "pretty severe" groin injury and Rex says there is a possibility that it could end his season. #Bills

Nigel Bradham had a setback in his recovery from an ankle injury. Questionable as to whether he'll be able to play against Dallas. #Bills

TE Charles Clay is expected to be able to return against the Cowboys, Ryan said. #Bills

@YardsPerPass

Just got done w/ the all-22 probably the worst passing day of the season for the team as a whole. Blocking, play calling, passing, etc.

‏@YardsPerPass

Does TT has the option to pull the handoff and throw here? TE's seemed to be running routes. McCoy trips on Wood
