Eagles control their playoff hopes in weak division

They did not beat us. Defensive linemen Marcell Dareus, Jerry Hughes (twice) and Mario Williams were all cited for neutral zone infractions prior to the snap handing the Eagles five free yards each time.

“Get a first down, penalty”. Analyst Matt Sabuda says the loss means the Bills are likely out of the playoff picture this season.

“The center did a real good job of moving the ball playing within the rules”, said Jerry Hughes. “We had two holding penalties on the same drive and came out of it with a touchdown”.

All week, McCoy made this game all about him because he wanted to go back to Philadelphia and prove that coach Chip Kelly was wrong in trading him to Buffalo.

First, Kelly pulled together his locker room – the one he supposedly lost – and coached the team to an upset victory over the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium. I thought he threw the ball extremely well yesterday. “That’s not a winning formula”. That really would have extended a lot of things for us on Sunday. We just didn’t capitalize.

“I don’t know”, Ryan said.

Robert Woods had one of his better games as a Bill. The former first-round pick had a sack on the Bills first series to force a punt and was a disruptive force for the rest of the afternoon.

Still, with the addition of four catches for 35 yards, McCoy became the third Bills player in team history to surpass 100 yards from scrimmage in a seventh straight game. The score was 10 – 14 Eagles in the middle of the second quarter. At this point, Mills may be the better option because he does have 31 National Football League starts and he’s familiar with offensive line coach Aaron Kromer’s techniques because he played for Kromer in Chicago. “I’m not saying it can’t happen, but sometimes it’s not a good sign”.

Buffalo’s offense has been intermittently brilliant this season, its first with Greg Roman calling plays for the likes of Tyrod Taylor, LeSean McCoy, and Sammy Watkins. “If you got two guys doing it, for a linebacker that’s hell”. It’s hard to stay on schedule. CSN Philly’s John Clark has the highlights from the game.

The Bills were penalized 15 times for 101 yards (compared to just five and 55 for the Eagles). When he hasn’t, that’s when you would see those third-down passes thrown short of the marker. “We knew it was all about Chip and him”.

Rex Ryan’s red flags have all been raised to the highest peak, and it’s starting to become a very evident that he is exactly what Jets fans labeled him as – a best friend to the players, instead of a leader. “We had great confidence in them as a group and they needed to kind of go out and shake off what control that you can control, and that’s your preparation and getting ready for whoever that opponent is that you’re going to play and then just go out and play”.

Agholor has been searching for something to break him out of his funk and get him more involved in the Eagles’ offense, and he’s hopeful that he’ll be able to build off of Sunday’s game and make more regular contributions like that. We were focused. We knew we had to stop McCoy. “And we were too eager to make plays”. But at the end of the day it’s us playing out there.
