Two Bills Drive

'And, the admissions are too little too late for this team. To be talking about accountability and discipline in Week 17 when it was clearly lacking dating all the way back to last season?'

'“He’s right I think discipline has been an issue,” said McCoy of Watkins opinion. “I just think that players have to take accountability for their own actions. It’s one thing to talk about discipline and guys who are not balling. But if they’re not doing it you can’t really take their credibility (seriously). As professionals and as players we have to step up and be accountable. That is the biggest issue.”'

'Williams is one of the Jets who is still playing hard right to the end of the season. Jordan Mills is coming off a steady performance against Cameron Wake. He’ll need to adjust his approach against the powerful Williams.'

'“I think it’s just playing the game fast,” Watkins said. “You know he’s going to be a little more jittery and he’s going to throw it out there further. By not having timing I told him I’d rather have you over throw me than underthrow me. So I think he’s going to be prepared. He’s going to gun it. He’s going to go out there and throw the ball and whether he throws a pick or two he’s going to throw those chancy balls. That’s what you look forward to those 50-50 balls.”'

'Depending on when the surgery takes place, Taylor's recovery would likely be about a month, according to the source. The Bills have until March 11 to determine whether to pick up the option on his contract.'

'"It hurts to keep changing coaches, personnel, and all that," Watkins said Thursday, two days after Rex Ryan was fired and offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn was promoted to interim head coach. "But for me, it's happened in two years and I feel like it hurt me because I kind of bought into it like, 'Man, it's the worst thing ever.' I never had to go through transition and it kind of hurt me.'

'We touched on the Bills, sharing disbelief and disgust. We glossed over former long snapper Adam Lingner’s precision, how Steve Christie understood the snowplow effects of the winds on the scoreboard side of the stadium, how Steve Tasker belonged in the Hall of Fame, how it wasn’t Scott Norwood’s fault.'

'However, Lynn can do plenty to enhance his status as the early favorite by showing team owners Terry and Kim Pegula and General Manager Doug Whaley how well he's able to manage a game. Known for his strong attention to detail, Lynn gathered with his coaching staff Thursday to review everyone's game-day responsibilities.'

'The idea was to pick one blood-curdling, eye-bulging, scream-out-loud defeat in each of the 17 years of the franchise's playoff absence. It was not difficult and, in fact, because they are the Bills, some years included a few dishonorable mentions.'

'According to the report, Taylor will travel to Philadelphia, perhaps next week, to determine whether he needs surgery to repair the problem. Of course, this immediately rings bells and sends up flares because if Taylor can’t pass a physical when the new league year begins March 11, they will have to pay him $27.5 million in guaranteed money. And if they decide to cut Taylor, all $27.5 million would count against their 2017 salary cap.'

'Taylor had never thrown for 300 yards in an NFL game, and his rushing total brought his season tally to 580 yards, breaking his team record which he set in 2015.'

'"This is something that any football fan can relate to, because we have all had those seasons were our team is not doing as well as we wished," said the 31-year-old nutrition coach now living in New York City. "We are all upset and sometimes when you are upset the only thing you can do is … find the humor in something. It is not to say the situation is humorous but just to find the levity in it all."'

'"If they offered I might do it," Levy said laughing. "It was one of those things where after forty seven years of coaching I really needed to get that deep breath to step aside but after a couple of years passed I very much would have liked to have gone back…"'

'"Well, from Clemson, coach Dabo (Swinney) was strict and I that's what I think changed the culture and changed the players," Watkins said. "We started winning. We started to expect to win. Every game I came into I never thought I was going to lose it. That's what we have to do here. Situations here sometimes guys look at games with Peyton Manning or name-dropping Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown. Who cares? They're great players, but they do the same thing we do. We've got to step up as players against those guys."'
