‘The Niners had 180 rushing yards after just 45 minutes against the Bills.’

‘Buffalo’s defense looked totally flummoxed.’

‘If the Bills truly didn’t pack it in during the second half when they gave up 28 unanswered points, then they must really be as bad as they looked, and that’s not a comforting thought.’

‘Clearly, I’m a bit ornery after watching the 45-3 flogging the 49ers administered, so read on at your own peril.’

‘The Bills couldn’t have slowed down Jim Brown. Not in-his-prime Jim Brown, but today’s 76-year-old Jim Brown.’

‘Ryan Fitzpatrick can’t play defense, so those 621 yards the Bills allowed weren’t on him. However, it’s starting to look like Fitz can’t play offense, either.’

‘The offense couldn’t get anything going and the defense was awful. What adjustments did Dave Wannstedt make at halftime? They couldn’t stop the run, cover anyone or get near the quarterback. I feel like the Bills just quit today.’

‘The Patriots game was bad, but this game was worse. There are no excuses. Something needs to change and it needs to change now.’

‘”I don’t think there’s anyone as talented,” Chandler said. “He’s the consummate teammate and the consummate professional. He’s a great athlete. He can play everywhere on the line and knows what he’s doing. He deserves some recognition.”‘

‘In the Bills 45-3 loss to the 49ers, Powell punted six times with an average of 47.7 per punt. Powell’s longest punt of the day went 59 yards. He had one touchback and landed two punts inside the 20-yard line.’

‘Rian Lindell kicked a 31-yard field goal in the first quarter before San Francisco scored the final 42 points to hand Buffalo (2-3) its second straight embarrassing loss.’

‘Williams has not been on the Bills’ injury report this season despite what he claims has been a wrist injury that has bothered him all season. But the team says he has not missed any practices or game time.’

‘The Bills got a boost with safety Jairus Byrd (hip) and wide receiver Ruvell Martin (ankle) on the active roster. Both were listed as questionable earlier in the week. Martin also plays on special teams.’

‘Ryan Fitzpatrick finished with just 126 yards and an interception for Buffalo (2-3), which came in with an NFL-high 16 touchdowns but gained just 10 first downs in its second straight debilitating loss.’
