Two Bills Drive

'Call it a hunch, but the way players have been talking all week long, the way everything happened over the course of last weekend and then on Tuesday… it almost feels like the air has been let out of the balloon before the party’s over.'

'It’s EJ Manuel vs. Ryan Fitzpatrick. Are you excited? I’m not, but I think the Bills can move the ball on the ground enough to win this one.'

'It’s been over a year since Buffalo traveled to MetLife Stadium to face the Jets. Last season’s Week 5 match up proved to be quite a slugfest – one in which the Bills escaped with a narrow 22-17 victory. A Bills win this time around would signify the third straight win for Buffalo on the road in New York.'

'“He’s done a great job of asserting himself and imprinting who he is,” veteran linebacker Lorenzo Alexander told The John Murphy Show yesterday. “There have already been some immediate changes on the discipline portion of it—calling guys out, letting guys know you’re not going to eat in the meeting rooms. When we travel together he wants everybody in the (team -ssued) sweatsuit and don’t make your own variations on it.”'

'“I recognize (the history), but all year, it wasn’t my focus from the beginning,” Smith said this week. “We have one more game to play, so we’re focused on the Jets. Maybe after this season I’ll take some time to think about it, but right now, as all year, it’s not really something I’ve thought about or has been my focus.”'

'The Bills have turned the ball over just nine times through their first 15 games. The NFL record for fewest turnovers in a season is 10, set by Belichick’s Patriots in 2010 and matched by the 49ers in 2011.'

'"I never saw it on tape. I’m aware of that being out there but I never saw it on tape," Ryan said. " … I’ll be honest, when guys start flying around, I’ve been hit before. So I think anything’s possible in that situation, but whether he ends up head butting somebody on purpose, I think that would be, that’s almost hard to believe."'

'Two players who definitely won’t play for the Bills are cornerback Stephon Gilmore (concussion) and left tackle Cordy Glenn (back). Both players were listed as out on the official injury report.'

'Bills 28, Jets 17.'

'The 11-year-old from Spencerport is scheduled to belt out "The Star-Spangled Banner" for a third time in East Rutherford, New Jersey, before Sunday's 1 p.m. regular-season finale between the Jets and the Buffalo Bills. Even though neither team is going to the playoffs, there should still be another big crowd.'

'The Bills have until the third day of the 2017 league year to pick up Taylor's $15.5 million option. Buffalo has plenty of time to decide if Taylor is the quarterback the next head coach wants to move forward with, but CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora believes a decision has already been made.'

'"I mean, he's right," McCoy said. "Discipline has been an issue. I just think that players just need to take accountability for their own actions. It's one thing to talk about discipline and how guys are not doing it, but if they're not doing it, you can't really take their credibility. I just feel like as players, as professionals, as players you have to step up and be accountable. That's the biggest issue."'

'"That might sum the whole thing up – because that's the guy that you gave $100 million," Scott. "Instead of reading his play book, he was too busy lighting up. Are you serous? First of all, I've been in this system my entire career. Eleven years, I've been in this system. As a defensive lineman, you only have like four (or five) fronts. Man, if you can't remember five fronts, I don't know what to tell you, bro. We can't put the play book in crayon."'

'Two players were already announced out for Sunday’s game, left tackle Cordy Glenn (back), and cornerback Stephon Gilmore (concussion).'
