'Zylka says law enforcement meet with Bills officials a few times a week to see what they could do better on game day. But he says no matter what they do, there’s always going to be a delay.'

'Here’s why Buffalo’s win over Denver bothers me. Don’t get me wrong – I was happier than anybody that the Bills won on Sunday, but it also got me thinking. Thinking about how a win like this was supposed to happen LAST season – you know, when the team was trying to rebuild AND win. Buffalo’s been trying to rebuild and win at the same time for 17+ years and we all know how that’s worked out – it hasn’t. As I wrote in my first article this season, this is supposed to be a rebuilding year and it’s something I’ve prepared for. My thought was that the Bills would probably be a 4 or 5 win team this season but that pain would be repaid at draft time. Instead, with this improbable win over Denver they look like they’re on yet another relentless march to about 8 wins (stop me of you’ve seen this before).'

'The release of Coleman likely means either Dareus or Worthy are close to a return.'

'… Bills fans are probably pretty thrilled with the way their new kicker, Steven Hauschka, performed against the Broncos. Hauschka went 4 for 4 on field goals, which includes conversions from 49, 53 and 55 yards. That's a dramatic improvement from Carpenter, who went 5 of 11 on fields from 40 yards or longer last season. Hauschka wasn't the only player for the Bills who was nearly perfect in this game. Tyrod Taylor, who finished 20 of 26 for 213 yards with two touchdowns, led two clutch touchdown drives in the game, and they both game when the Bills were trailing by three points.'

'But out of nowhere, Joe Webb, who disengaged from his downfield block at the 17-yard line, turns around and closes a three-yard head start by Latimer running full speed in 13 yards and wraps him up from behind at the 30 before dragging him to the ground at the 36-yard line.'

'“It’s huge. Obviously we play half the games at home and you have to have that mentality to defend your dirt. You have to get the crowd into it and make this place a tough place to play. Not only when it’s cold but days like Sunday when it was hot. We understand that and coach has been stressing since OTA’s and that’s our number one goal to play at home and defend our dirt,” Micah Hyde said.'
