‘”We just didn’t get it done, bottom line,” Fewell said. “But we had an opportunity to win the football game in the fourth quarter.”‘

‘”(The Jets) have a good defensive scheme,” Bills head coach Perry Fewell said. “They brought a lot of pressure on our offensive line, we didn’t handle the pressure very good. Our third down conversions were not very good; we converted only 1-of-11 on third down, and when you don’t convert on third down, you don’t have a good night.”‘

‘Down by six points, Buffalo still had a chance to pull out a win when got the ball back with under three minutes to play, however Ryan Fitzpatrick was intercepted by Darrelle Revis on a long pass down the near sideline that was intended for Terrell Owens.’

‘So… at least the 71 people worldwide who think Ryan Fitzpatrick has a shot to be the future of the Bills now know better, and tell me that offense didn’t look Dick Jauron-esque tonight. There will still be time to evaluate who the next coach should be, and if Perry Fewell deserves a look, but I promise you the Bills need better offense before anything else, and that starts with quarterback, not coach. In fact, if I could only select one, I’d rather have a new general manager than a new head coach.’

‘Perry Fewell has an engaging personality, and he still may be in the conversation by the end of the season, but it would be a lot better if Fewell could also play on the offensive line and at linebacker.’

‘”They had a very good third down pressure package and they caused a little confusion as an offense,” said offensive tackle Jonathan Scott. “I just didn’t think we had enough time to make those adjustments because we were aware of it and did a lot of film study, but it was unfortunate that we couldn’t get into what we wanted.”‘

‘Pick whatever adjective you like to describe the way the Bills played: Dull, boring, lackluster, lethargic. You can also use those adjectives to describe the entire contest. It was a mirror image of the atmosphere inside the dome. Yes, there were definitely more Bills fans this year than last year but the result and the look of the game was eerily similar.’

‘Coaching: Grade D: Disappointing loss after Sunday’s win.’

‘McGee had missed the past three games because of a knee injury that required arthroscopic surgery during the bye week. He didn’t start, however, as Reggie Corner began the game.’
