Two Bills Drive

'"Nobody on the team wanted to disrespect the military anyway, it was about social issues and inequality. I wanted to stand either way, but I have a lot of respect for other people's opinions.'

'Hughes also added that he doesn't really know why Jim Kelly is on the sidelines during Bills home games.'

'Kelly said, "I like LeSean McCoy, don't get me wrong, but I totally, 100 percent I disagree with what he did." Kelly would go on to say, “You want to kneel? That’s your prerogative. I would never do that. I will always stand, thank the good Lord for everything I got. But when you disrespect the way he did and just go by his everyday duty in the National Anthem being sung? I won’t go for that.”'

'“We put out a team statement for a reason and I stand by that statement,” McDermott said. “Jim Kelly is one of the hallmarks of this organization,” McDermott said. “He is an alum of this organization, this football team. I don’t at this point see that changing.”'

'“You made your point. I agree, but now it’s time to not disrespect to stand what our country stands for. I do believe we need to lock arms, stand and realize what – and how blessed we are to be national football league players and to live in the United States of America. If you don’t think our country is good enough, then leave. Go somewhere else.”'

'“If Jim was going to do what he did, he should have come to the team and let us know his feeling. He should have let us know how he was going to do the national anthem because we didn’t know he was going to be there. For him to carry on in this manner, I’m really confused and I’m really upset.'

'The only time I will ever take a knee is to pray and to thank the Good Lord for what he’s given me. We all have our issues. We all need to try and appreciate and understand each other and help each other and that goes for our PRESIDENT TOO.'

'“There’s always 10 percent of the people that just aren’t going to follow the rules,” said Chief Pacholec.'

'“During the National Anthem…the song that is about our country, our veterans that fight and die for us, it's just something I feel you shouldn't disrespect that way,” he said. "I believe people have the right to protest; I just don't believe that's the proper venue for it.”'

'“I’m hoping we are and I’m hoping that we’ll keep developing and keep improving and get better,” Dennison said. “You have to be able to run it and throw it in this league. You can’t do one or the other. There are good defenses with good personnel in this league. Sunday was a grind, but to our guys’ credit they kept working at it.”'

'E.J. Gaines and Tre’Davious White reeled in their first interceptions as Bills against the Denver Broncos. There was a lot of hoopla coming into the game about Trevor Siemian and the prolific Broncos offense. In Sunday’s game, the Bills gave them a reality check.'

'The Bills walked out on the field as a group and about a quarter of the roster — McCoy, Marcell Dareus, Shaq Lawson, Ryan Davis, Lorenzo Alexander, Jordan Matthews, Shareece Wright, and Mike Tolbert among others — and some coaches knelt. Those who stood, locked arms. The Broncos, meanwhile, lined up on the sideline and about half the players and some coaches took a knee.'

'Stephen Hauschka became the first placekicker in Bills history to kick two field goals of 53 yards-or-longer in the same game. He finished with four: 49, 55, 53 and 27 yards. The 55-yarder was the Bills’ longest since Dan Carpenter hit a 58-yarder to beat the Lions in 2014.'

'"Absolutely," Tyrod Taylor said, "(offensive coordinator) Rick Dennison always has an open ear even from my time working with him in Baltimore (when Taylor was a backup and Dennison was quarterbacks coach). This week, I talked with him about the things I have seen and that I liked, the things I felt we were good at."'
