Bills Likely To Hire Anthony Lynn As New Head Coach

Last year, the Bills finished 19th in yards allowed – the worst ranking for Ryan in his 11 years as a head coach or coordinator.

The Jets will be looking to close out what has been a awful 2016 season with a win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

This is the 2nd time that Rex Ryan has been fired as a head coach by and AFC East team.

“I appreciate y’all though”, Taylor said. “We’ve got to step up as players against those guys”.

Obviously, the move to hire Quinn has paid dividends as Atlanta captured their first NFC South title since 2012 returning to the playoffs this season.

The addition of fellow running back Chris Ivory reduced this season’s workload for Yeldon, who recorded 130 carries for 465 yards and one touchdown in 15 games. Bills offensive coordinator Greg Roman was sacked the next day, which was a bad harbinger for Buffalo. “These decisions are never easy”, Bills owner Terry Pegula said in a statement Tuesday. The decision came three days after a 34-31 overtime loss to Miami which eliminated Buffalo (7-8) from contention, and extended the NFL’s longest active playoff drought to 17 years. Those factors also contributed to Ryan’s exit. “That’s the best way for me to make my case, is put a team out there on Sunday that’s going to play hard, fast and furious and make plays”.

Here are three things to watch in Buffalo’s season finale.

“Cardale Jones right now”, Lynn said about the starting quarterback for Sunday. It ran one season and ultimately paid just $7.5 million in new money. The Bills rank 12th in the National Football League in total offense with 362.4 yards per game.

The Bills have also opted to play backup quarterback EJ Manuel instead of regular starter Tyrod Taylor. But I think Buffalo pulls it out.

If Taylor requires surgery, the timing could conflict with the March 11 date that the Bills must decide if they want to pick up his contract-extension option.

Tyrod Taylor pulled me aside in #Bills locker room to briefly say he’s not looking to leave the team despite being benched for Sunday.

Rodgers said Taylor is perhaps more mobile than Manuel.

“We went back and looked at some with EJ playing”, Jets defensive coordinator Kacy Rodgers said.

QUESTIONABLE: LB Zach Brown (illness), DT Kyle Williams (back), WR Sammy Watkins (foot), TE Charles Clay (knee), RG John Miller (hip) and LB Preston Brown (foot).

Wide receiver Brandon Marshall (hip/shoulder), Bilal Powell (knee) and Brandon Burks (illness), defensive backs Nick Marshall (hamstring) and Juston Burris (knee), and tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins (hamstring) sat out practice for the Jets.
