Two Bills Drive

‘Just about anything that could go wrong, did go wrong for the Bills in a 24-14 loss that was more painful and ugly than that score would indicate.’

‘Sean McDermott tried everything. Bespectacled and holding a play-call sheet on the sideline, the Bills’ coach loaded the box. He blitzed. He used different personnel groups. His defense couldn’t stop Robinson or the Falcons’ top receiver, Drake London, in the first half.’

‘“It’s going to eat at me the next two weeks,” Allen said of the loss. “So, yeah, I mean, a lot of stuff to clean up. We’ll put our focus to our next opponent and go from there.”’

‘The bills can’t coast this season. They now have back-to-back losses, and Monday night’s outing was a pitiful showing.’

‘Moore fumbled the exchange. He managed to pick up the ball, but the Falcons tackled him for a 1-yard loss. It was one of several head-scratching plays by the offense in Buffalo’s 24-14 loss Monday night at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.’

‘In the Bills’ 24-14 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Monday, Walker had four tackles for loss, leading both teams.’

‘A week after McDermott said he felt the team was “too cute” at times against the Patriots, he must have been seething at both that play call and execution. Offensive coordinator Joe Brady is taking as much heat at the moment as he has since stepping into the role – for good reason. The offense looks broken.’

‘But this low-wattage member of the Electric Company has a story to tell about that day in Atlanta. Penchion pancaked Falcons defensive end Claude Humphrey on one particular play − and Humphrey, the future Hall of Famer, got up off the turf and threw a punch. “He raised up,” Penchion said, “and punched me right between the legs.”‘
