Reed Between the Lines: Should Bills Consider McCoy Trade?

‘Buffalo has 3 games remaining between now and the October 30th trade deadline. I believe GM Brandon Beane will keep McCoy and see how the next few games play out but that cell phone will be close by and the ringer will be turned all the way up.’

Eagles talking trade for McCoy?

‘McCoy is coming off his best game of the season rushing for 85 yards on 24 carries. The Eagles average 110 yards per game on the ground(17th in the NFL). The Bills have not been shy about trading veteran players for draft picks in the past and with a potential rebuild on the horizon the Bills and Eagles could be good dance partners.’

Bills sign veteran QB Derek Anderson

‘”I think highly of Derek, having been around Derek in Carolina and how he not only played, but also was a primary backup for us and helped Cam in his learning curve as well…he’s got some good wisdom stored up in that brain.”‘

Brian Daboll: 4 Notable Quotes

‘Yeah, that’s what we’re aiming for. We need to be better on a lot of different areas, the passing game being one of them. And that includes everybody, from starting with the quarterback, the offensive line, the receivers, the running backs. The passing game is about detail, it’s about execution, it’s about trust. We’re continuing to work on that every week.’

What are the common stats in Bills wins this season?

‘In the Bills two victories, Buffalo’s primary back (Ivory in Minnesota, McCoy vs. Tennessee) had 20 carries or more. Though the average yards per carry were nothing to write home about, Ivory and McCoy were effective enough to keep the offense in manageable down and distance come third down.’

Bills Today: Brian Daboll on Bills’ rushing success

‘“Called a bunch of them,” Daboll said. “The running game, you get one and two and zero and a negative one. Sticking with the runs when things aren’t always five, six, seven a pop sometimes is tough. But we went along and we had a game plan to go ahead and try to run the ball and establish the line of scrimmage and stick with it.”’

Sunday’s win provided Bills DE Shaq Lawson reprieve from grief

‘The Buffalo Bills’ defensive end was still trying to come to grips Sunday with the death of one of his best friends. Former Clemson running back C.J. Fuller was found dead at the age of 22 last Wednesday. Lawson and Fuller were college teammates, but their relationship ran much deeper than that.’

Bills WRs join the blocking party vs. Titans

‘“We definitely had a lot of plays in to be able to get to their safeties,” said Andre Holmes. “We also had a couple plays where I had to block the end on those crack plays. We knew we were going to run the ball this game. Everybody chipping in helped us.”’

Video Review: Bills schemed up drop-backs to help out Josh Allen

‘The Bills did everything they could to make things easier for quarterback Josh Allen. He executed four bootleg play-action passes and twice threw out of moving pockets. That negates the pass rush and simplifies the QB’s reads. He ran three other play-action fakes on drop-back passes. Six of his passes were on screens, swings or quick outs to the flat. So 14 of his 21 drop-backs were schemed up to help him out.’

What They Said: Bills coaches address win against Titans, Derek Anderson, competition at corner

‘First and foremost, he’s a team-first guy. A guy that’s been around, whether as a team-first guy or as a backup, a lot of football over the years. He’s got a good outlook on the game from an offensive standpoint and understands defenses. So there’s just a lot of value to it for where we are right now in terms of that quarterback room and two young quarterbacks that have been in that room.’
