‘A tie Sunday would have left the Bills 6-6-1, and it’s possible McDermott’s alleged information convinced him that 9-6-1 was attainable, and that that record is probably good enough for the playoffs. In my mind, a tie Sunday would have meant a tie in the easiest game on the Bills’ schedule, and that they’d finish no better than 8-7-1.’

‘QB Tyrod Taylor, who was inactive with a knee injury: Has “made progress over the last couple of days.” McDermott called him day-to-day as of now. The head coach said “there was a chance” Taylor was going to play Sunday, but wasn’t able to. The decision was mostly health related but the field conditions were a part of the equation, as well. McDermott reiterated that Taylor is the team’s starting QB when healthy.’

‘”You look at it from all different angles, obviously you want to win first, that’s what you want to do. You certainly don’t want to lose. You want to win and the second best thing you can do in that situation is tie. I’d rather win than tie and I’d rather tie than lose.”‘

‘”It was just wild, we were having conversations that we never have during a game like should we try to run the ball through the deep part of the snow so that they can’t adjust well?”‘

‘Yes, it was a weirdly memorable day.’

‘Peterman played as well as you could in the whiteout conditions at New Era Field. Peterman left the game after taking a helmet to helmet hit in the 3rd quarter. At the time the Bills led 7-0. Joe Webb came in relief at quarterback, and helped secure the win in overtime over the Colts.’

‘What I saw was one of the worst decisions a Bills coach has ever made in my 28 years of watching this franchise. I was so disgusted with that punt that I spent the Colts drive thinking ‘it’ll serve you right if you lose this game’. Yes, the Bills did end up winning what was a must win game for them but it did not stop me from seeing red and I don’t mean the Bills uniforms.’

‘Here’s what you need to know. The Bills currently hold the sixth and final AFC playoff spot. Why? Because there are three teams tied at 7-6 and when that happens, head-to-head doesn’t matter unless all three teams played each other. Well, the Bills, Chargers, and Ravens haven’t all played each other. So then it goes to conference record, then common games (minimum of four), then strength of victory. Don’t worry about all of that just yet. Just look at the standings and know this thing is still alive.’

‘McDermott acknowledged that he will not play Taylor if there is a chance he could re-injure his bruised knee.’

‘Wednesday, head coach Sean McDermott said there’s no timetable to determine if Taylor can play Sunday or not and and that the team will “take it one day at a time.”’

‘White made his feelings known about the hit after practice…’.

‘McDermott said there’s no timetable to determine if Taylor can play Sunday or not and and that the team will “take it one day at a time.”’

‘”Going to use the first paycheck to pay off the rest of my student loans. Few more reps with 1st team offense. Reps at all three receiver positions. If they call my number I’m ready. Thankful coaches had confidence moving me up.”‘

‘The Buffalo Bills have announced that both defensive end Shaq Lawson and wide receiver Jordan Matthews have been placed on injured reserve, ending their seasons. Lawson was considered week to week with an ankle sprain, while Matthews has been battling a knee injury for the last few weeks.’

‘”Not every team, but a lot of teams have a certain prototype in mind. I think it’s a foolish way to do things. Not going to overthink that Baker Mayfield has put up the two most efficient seasons in college football. He’s going to win the Heisman, very indicative of his performance. He’s a quick processor, quick release, but also has the arm to throw off platform. Nothing scares him as a quarterback, can create offense with his legs, not a whole lot he’s missing. Coaches are going to look at this guy and think, this is a guy I can go to war with. All the makings of a franchise quarterback.”‘
