Stats: Players know faster starts a necessity going forward
‘“You can’t start that way in this league,” McDermott said after Sunday’s loss. “I thought defensively we didn’t play well enough in the first half against a good offensive unit spotting them 28 points. I’m not saying we did it all to ourselves, but some of it we did. Offensively, we go three and out way too many times and special teams we can’t gain field position. That’s a bad recipe and that’s tough to come back from.”’
Bills Today: Eric Wood thinks Bills are ‘trending up’
‘“It’s been a slow start for the Bills, and that’s well documented, but I liked what I saw in the second half [Sunday],” Wood told One Bills Live. “I think, what I saw and heard is McDermott started calling the plays on defense, the defense seemed to be playing really well in the second half and the offense got going a little bit too. I saw some bright spots from Allen [Sunday]. Showed off his arm a little bit. Still kind of a combination of pass protection and him holding onto the ball a little bit, which caused some negative plays. But, it seems like they’re trending up, obviously from Week 1.”’

Bills Notebook: McDermott, Frazier will collaborate on defensive play-calling
‘Defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier “and I are still working through that,” McDermott said. “Either way, Leslie is going to be a big part of what we’re doing. I thought we did some good things yesterday at times. Overall, and obviously in the first half, it wasn’t good enough. You can’t give up 28 points and expect to win, or give yourself a chance to win. So overall as a defense, I didn’t think we played well enough in the first half. I thought the second half, I was very pleased with the effort, very pleased with the way the guys were flying around. They were executing and having fun out there and that was fun to watch.”’

‘Said Chargers cornerback Casey Hayward: “This week we decided, hey, let’s put some pressure on the rookie. We’ve got a good blitzer in Derwin. I remember watching him in college blitz so much. He makes plays coming off the edge. He’s just a good football player.”’

Jim Kubiak: Josh Allen gets difficult first lesson in processing protections
‘What is the biggest difference between college and professional football? Speed. The amazing rate of speed through which the game occurs combined with the size of the players is beyond the imagination.

With Vontae Davis quitting, Bills are in dire straits at cornerback
