McGahee’s play under fire from coach

‘On four occasions this week, Mularkey has publicly questioned McGahee’s play in last Sunday’s 19-3 loss at Tampa Bay, calling the second-year running back’s tentativeness at the line of scrimmage unacceptable.’

Bills’ Losman prepared for the scrutiny

‘”I would definitely not like for it to happen again, but if it does, I have to be prepared for it,” Losman said Wednesday as the Bills began full preparations for Sunday’s home game against Atlanta. “I said it from the beginning: This team is not waiting for some young quarterback to mess up in games and give the excuse, ‘He’s a young quarterback.’ This team is ready to win now and I have to be ready for it.”‘

Vick no fun if he can’t run against Bills

‘The Bills might have a better chance to beat the Falcons with a gimpy Vick than with a completely healthy Matt Schaub.’

BIlls vs. Falcons

‘I like the Bills to win 20-13.’

Buffalo Bills Head Coach Mike Mularkey / Linebacker Takeo Spikes Conference Calls

‘Q: What are your preparations like for Vick compared to Matt Schaub?

Mularkey: We are preparing that Michael is going to be healthy. We can adjust from there, but I don’t know if you can adjust the other way. We’re going to go like he’s (Michael Vick) is 100 percent and adjust if need be.’

Inside slant

‘But with an offensive line that averages 327 pounds per man and a star ball carrier that weighs 228 pounds, Mularkey said it’s inexcusable for the Bills to average 2.8 yards per carry and total one rushing first down, sins they committed in last Sunday’s 19-3 loss at Tampa Bay.’

Strategy and personnel

‘”I said it from the beginning, this team is not waiting for some young quarterback to mess up in games and give the excuse, ‘He’s a young quarterback.’ This team is ready to win now and I have to be ready for it.”‘

Notes, quotes

‘Two of the NFL’s youngest head coaches square off Sunday. Buffalo’s Mike Mularkey and Atlanta’s Jim Mora are each 43 and born on the same day (Nov. 19, 1961). Only Tampa Bay’s Jon Gruden and Jacksonville’s Jack Del Rio, each 42, are younger.’

Atlanta (1-1) at Buffalo (1-1)

‘This is the first meeting between the teams in Buffalo since a 23-17 victory by the Bills on Nov. 12, 1995. That defeat was Atlanta’s first in six visits to Ralph Wilson Stadium.’

Buffalo’s Walking Wounded

‘Linebacker London Fletcher was also held out of drills with a hamstring injury. If unable to play, Angelo Crowell, who subbed for Fletcher last week, is waiting in the wings to make his first career start. “I prepare any week like I do regular. Prepare like I’m a starter and if they call my name I’ll be ready to go,” said Crowell.’

Milloy Has Thumb Surgery

‘Mike Mularkey says Rashad Baker and Coy Wire would share the SS plays, but he added that Milloy may be able to play with a cast.’

Three Starters Sit Out Practice

‘Both Fletcher (hamstring) and Williams (ankle) suffered injuries that forced them to miss the second half of the Buccaneers game. But Milloy’s injury (thumb) went unnoticed, partly because the 10-year veteran was able to play through it and lead the Bills defense with 15 tackles (eight solo).’

McGahee running better after Mularkey issued challenge

‘”Sometimes those negative things that happen in games may be a positive in the long run,” Mularkey said. “It obviously was a positive in practice, the way he was hitting the hole. … It was a noticeable difference.”‘
