Bills Mailbag: Was the decision on when to leave for London the wrong one?
‘It’s troubling that in two of the Bills’ last six games, dating back to the playoff loss to the Bengals, the team has admitted to coming out flat. Yes, that does fall directly on the coaching staff. The players should be self motivated, but after installing the game plan, the coaching staff’s biggest responsibility is to make sure the team is ready to go. Too often recently, that hasn’t looked like the case. It’s also to second guess the Bills’ decision not to leave for London until after practice Thursday, meaning they arrived in London on Friday morning. The team conducted just a walk-through practice Friday. Did that contribute to not looking ready to play? The possibility shouldn’t be entirely ruled out.’
Jim Kubiak: Jaguars' approach of pressuring and playing soft makes difference vs. Bills
‘There was so much to unpack in this game. Ultimately, the Jaguars executed better offensively and defensively. They ran 28 more plays and controlled the football for 17 minutes more than the Bills. While the Friday flight to London with a Sunday game might have affected acclimatization for the Bills, the Jaguars had already been there for a week and were already properly adjusted. It may have been jet-lag that affected Buffalo’s energy and execution. Injuries affected the Bills and the incredible amount of penalties chopped this game up. Coming into this game, the Bills were the third-least penalized team in the league averaging 33 yards in penalties, but they were flagged for 109 yards in penalties.’

Opinion: Bills grades: Week 5 vs. Dolphins

In 90 career games, he’s made 10 interceptions, 10.5 sacks, 58 tackles for loss, three forced fumbles and nine fumble recoveries.’
