'Ryan’s decisions to challenge calls and not challenge others were dubious and could very well have had an impact on the outcome of the game. Or at the very least they leave plenty of room to wonder if things would have turned out different. He first chose not challenge a catch made by Chiefs wideout Jeremy Maclin when it appeared the ball hit the ground as he slid for the catch. '

'The Bills suffered an excruciating loss on Sunday, and now will likely be without at least one more starter on defense against Houston. Starting linebacker Nigel Bradham suffered an ankle injury against the Chiefs, and the Bills are pessimistic on his chances of playing this coming Sunday. Without Bradham, that will force rookie and sixth-round pick Tony Steward into the starting lineup, as A.J.Tarpley was deemed a liability on defense during his time on the field.'

The Bills had an opportunity to control their own destiny and now they don’t, and when you have to rely on other teams screwing up so you can make the playoffs you’re in a world of hurt. For a team that needed to turn things around, the Bills have done what they always do – get our hopes up, then crush them by losing four of their last six games.

'“There is a process in place. Did that process let us down yesterday? It absolutely did. It failed on a couple of occasions obviously. I’m not going to get into the specifics of it, but there is something that clearly we have to improve on,” said Ryan Monday. “I thought it was going well this year, but obviously we need to find a way to get it to where it’s better. When people see something at home and we don’t see it, that can’t happen. And it won’t happen in the future.”'

'The Buffalo Bills made two roster moves today by placing DL Alex Carrington on injured reserve and releasing LB AJ Tarpley.'

'“We have great leaders. We all rallied up in the locker room and talked it out. We don’t need negativity. We don’t need anybody bringing us down. From here on out, we need to focus on Bills football and keep our heads up. We have five more games to finish out the season. You never know who’s going to lose two games in a row or who is going to lose to who. This is the NFL. We just have to be positive.”'
