‘Offensive linemen Mike Williams and Greg German did not practice. Defensive lineman Sam Adams also watched from the sidelines. Wideout Josh Reed was not in attendance.’

‘The Bills’ offense stands in almost the same spot it stood last season in just about every statistical category.’

‘I have defended a lot of Tom Donahoe’s decisions over the years, but I just can’t any more. There is no excuse for this and the man at the top must be held responsible.’

‘Bills’ President and general manager Tom Donahoe, currently in his 5th year with the team, needs to be held accountable for his mistakes at the end of the season. The Bills have gone 29-43 under his rule and that is unacceptable. The great fans of Buffalo deserve better from this organization and they haven’t gotten it. Since Donahoe has done such a masterful job of selling tickets and marketing to the fans, he will likely stay on in Buffalo and you can expect the ineptitude to continue.’

‘Mike although I did agree in the switch to Kelly Holcomb in an effort to save the season, isn’t it time to give J.P. Losman the chance to develop? Let’s face facts, the defense isn’t scaring anybody and the offense needs to further gel in order to have real chance in playoffs.

Mike Mularkey: At some point it’s going to happen. We’re going to do an evaluation this week on every position. That’s what the bye week is for. We’ll look at each player, each scheme and the play calling. Everybody will take a good look at themselves, coaches included, and if switching back to J.P. is the decision than that’s one of the decisions we will make, but all options will be discussed.’

‘Here was Buffalo’s turn to do everything New England has done to the rest of the NFL since 2001 and build their own identity in the process. Of course, Buffalo did not carve out a new identity. They only furthered the notion that they can find defeat in a sea of victory.’
