Running Backs: Grade A: Best unit on the team but someone needs to tell the head coach that.’

‘With the ball back near midfield, Buffalo again decided to go to the air, but after a Fitzpatrick scramble for six yards, Spiller was dropped for a four-yard loss on a swing pass and a third down pass to Spiller was broken up forcing Buffalo to punt with three and a half minutes remaining.’

‘”I thought the defense played well enough to win the ball game. We didn’t execute offensively well enough and gave up the punt return and that was the game. We had some opportunities and we didn’t take advantage of opportunities when we got them.”‘

‘”I thought we’d come in here and play a lot better than we did and score a lot more points, throw the ball better, get the ball downfield. We missed a couple opportunities and had some other stuff we just weren’t able to either get in because of what they were doing or get downfield. Yeah, disappointment.”‘

‘”The play calling is cool. In the situations, we are the ones out there on the field. He knows what to check into and check out of. It’s different when you are looking from the booth and say, ‘Okay, they might be in this’ than being out there. That’s just my take on it. I just think that he has the ability to control the offense 100 percent. I think we should take advantage of that.”‘

‘”It’s definitely not what we wanted. It’s going to be hard to get where we want to get, but we have to keep fighting. It was good to get back out there, but I didn’t do much. I felt like it was hard to be out there and not do much for the team. Hopefully we get things turned around though.”‘
