‘”I knew originally after the penalty, I know we talked about on the headsets of bringing him off to the sideline to make sure he cools down,” Marrone started. “Afterwards, when I was asked the question, I was told he only played three snaps I think it was. It was a very limited amount. Someone said hardly played or maybe didn’t play. I didn’t know about that. I wasn’t aware of that. Looking back, he played, I actually wrote it down, 12 of the last 36 [snaps].

‘There are rumors about a number of quarterbacks who could be on the market this off season(Jay Cutler, Sam Bradford, Colin Kapernick, Robert Griffin III, Nick Foles, Cam Newton). Whoever is out there, the Bills need to figure out who the best guy is and do everything in their power to get him. They can’t go into 2015 putting all their eggs in the Orton/Manuel basket. It would be like this past off season when they decided they were fine with Manuel, Thad Lewis and Jeff Tuel. It just isn’t good enough and Orton’s play each week is driving that point home.’

‘Thompson entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Baltimore Ravens in 2012. The 6-0, 203 pound Florida product has played in 13 games for Baltimore (2012-13), recording 15 catches for 147 yards and returning 22 kicks for 590 yards. Thompson, 25, was released prior to the start of the 2014 regular season by the Ravens before joining the team’s Practice Squad.’

‘With his 127 receiving yards, Watkins is now the first Bills rookie to produce four 100-yard games in a season. He is the first Bill to go over the century mark four times in a season overall since Lee Evans in 2008.’
