‘As opposed to the previous week against the Seattle Seahawks in Orchard Park, the Bills did not play a great game. The offense went into a deep freeze for much of the second half. The Bills run game, at least rushers not named Josh Allen, produced next to nothing. There were some ill-timed and ill-advised penalties. The defense was shredded by the Cardinals’ run game and the punter had a 12-yard punt, giving Arizona a drive start at the Bills’ 30-yard line.’

McDermott: Mitch Morse’s absence a “coaches decision”

Poyer, Hyde and Hopkins react to the ‘Hail Murray’
‘It’s a play that will be talked about for AT LEAST two weeks in Buffalo, as the Bills head to their bye, and for years around the rest of the NFL.’
McDermott says the Bills running game is a ‘legitimate concern’

11 numbers to know about the Bills from Week 10
’22 >> Buffalo’s 22 total first downs on Sunday made it their 10th consecutive game with at least 20 first downs tying the longest streak in team history (first 10 games, 1992). The Bills current 10-game streak from the start of the season is the third longest active span in the league (Atlanta 18, Arizona 12).’
Eric Wood | 5 opinions on the Bills following Week 10
‘You never want this game to end the way it did, period. You especially don’t want it to happen out west because it’s a long way back on the plane, and then you really don’t want it on a bye week because you just have to keep reliving it. This is not a normal bye week; guys will not be going back to their hometowns, they will be getting COVID tested all week here in Buffalo. So, they are truly just going to be working and wallowing on this loss, but I think it’ll fuel them. Kyler Murray made a great play at the end and it is what it is. That’s a low percentage play, and the Bills are still 5-1 this season in games decided by one score, and that’s the one loss. If the Bills made a winning play that could easily be 6-0 in that stat column. So I still love the direction on the team.’

‘”He’s competitive, he’s smart, he gets open and he’s a great teammate,” Daboll stated. “He sees the game and when you ask him a question on what’s happening, he’s right on with it. Usually, guys who give you information throughout the game that you can trust really helps you. He’s been a tremendous asset to our offense, to me, to the receiving room, and he’s a heck of a player.”
