‘”There’s a lot of necessary focus on what has happened this past Sunday,” McDermott said with Howard Simon and Jeremy White. “To just move on too quickly would’ve been irresponsible. We need to make sure we gave it it’s due.”‘

‘If he is not placed on the active roster within the next 21 days, Stevenson will revert back to I.R. for the remainder of the season.’

‘It was good news for the Bills, as it appears starting middle linebacker Tremaine Edmunds is trending in the right direction. He was listed as a full participant at the team’s walk-thru.’

‘The Indianapolis Colts running back dominated the day in Orchard Park with 204 total yards and five touchdowns, which included 185 yards rushing and four scores on the ground in a dominating 41-15 win over the Bills.’

‘The defeat in Jacksonville to the Jaguars two weeks ago was a shocking upset, but you could convince yourself that it was just a bad day at work. The Bills took their opponent for granted and got burned. There’s no reason you can possibly come up with to ease your mind after what happened at Highmark Stadium on Sunday.’

‘With the score still 24-7, settling for a field goal attempt on 4th and 5 from the Colts 31-yard line on the Bills second possession of the 2nd half gives us even more reason to question McDermott for his choices.’

‘Four turnovers – three interceptions and a fumble lost. A horrible job of taking care of the football by the Bills offense.’

‘The Bills will be without right tackle Spencer Brown and guard Jon Feliciano. The last time both starters were out of the lineup was two weeks ago at Jacksonville. The Bills gained only 301 total yards, gave up four sacks, and didn’t get into the end zone that day against the Jaguars. They have to have a much better performance in the same situation against the Colts Sunday.’

‘All other players on both team’s active rosters have no injury designation, meaning they are all available to play.’

‘“I am really proud of what he did this last week and master his role,” McDermott said. “On top of that, he made some big plays for us over the middle of the field. I look forward to him continuing in that effort as we continue throughout the season.”’

‘It’s unclear if Brown will be available for the team’s game on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, or even next Thursday on Thanksgiving night against the New Orleans Saints. If he isn’t, the Bills may go back to the same starting offensive line they used two week’s ago in a 9-6 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. That lineup saw Daryl Williams shifting back to right tackle with Ike Boettger and Cody Ford starting at guard.’

‘Meanwhile, the Colts have several significant players who sat out of Wednesday’s practice, including starting linebacker Darius Leonard. The veteran injured his ankle in Sunday’s win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, left the game briefly, but returned and finished the contest.’

‘Buffalo was humming from start-to-finish, scoring early and often on offense and also grabbing five takeaways from Mike White and the Jets offense. When the dust settled, the Bills flexed their muscles to the tune of a 45-17 final in East Rutherford, New Jersey.’

‘On Sunday against the New York Jets, the Bills remedied every issue that was on the list. Daboll was back to being a good coordinator. He put together a very good game plan, used a variety of personnel groupings and formations andgot players involved who hadn’t had much work through the first eight games. He also found a way to help the run game while also maintained the Bills identity as a pass first offense, which is the right thing to do.’

‘Once again, even after Sean McDermott made sure to note they had far too many penalties last week in Jacksonville, flags hurt the Bills. They were called for seven of them totaling 50 yards. But three holding calls each wiped out huge gains of 17 (run), 31 (pass), and 25 (pass) yards. That’s a total of 73 more yards of offense that were negated.’
