With the decision to fire offensive coordinator Greg Roman on Friday afternoon, the 0-2 Bills will now have a new direction on the offensive side of the ball with Anthony Lynn as the man that will run the ship.

Ryan Fitzpatrick and the New York Jets put a rough start to the season behind them with a big rebound victory.
Ryan said he met with team ownership the morning after the team’s 37-31 loss to the New York Jets on Thursday night and expressed his desire to make the change. The good news is the anticipation is the offensive scheme will remain largely the same. We were just really so excited to play them again and get our opportunity to get that bad taste out of our mouths. There has been a struggle on offense with the Bills only reaching the red zone twice in their first two games. “It’s must win at all times”.
Week one, the Bills’ offense was the problem only scoring seven points and 160 yards.
The game could not be said of their defense, which allowed 493 yards against the Jets.
Much like what I said about McCoy, can also be said about Jets HB Matt Forte, who did have a good game last night, the Jets have to ask, how many good games does Forte have left in him? “That’s kind of why we went with this decision today”. But at the same time, the Ravens offense better get its head out of its you know what. Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was previously 1-8 against Rex Ryan defenses, and was able to break the curse with a 374 yard and 1 touchdown passing performance. Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor threw for 298 yards and three TDs. “The communication has to be cleaner”. Rob’s best year in New Orleans had Roman Harper and Malcolm Jenkins roaming the secondary. After having difficulty covering Bengals receiver A.J. Green on Sunday, Revis was burned by Goodwin on his 84-yard touchdown catch. “But I’m more excited about our team and the way we responded in the second half”. Opposing offenses could be looking at Revis Island as a pretty attractive destination this season.
“It’s not alarming yet”, Bowles said.
Bowles also took blame for kicking the extra point and not going for a 2-point conversion on the last of Forte’s TD runs, which put NY up 37-24 instead of 38-24.
Buffalo shot themselves in the foot several times in this game and were unable to put together long drives consistently.

“It was a big game”, said Forte, who joined the Jets in free agency. “Coming back after a close game last week, to come back and get a win here in a hostile environment against a division rival is huge”. We’ll see. I’ll be one of the first to see it next Sunday when we play the Cardinals. “Early on in the season, we made some mistakes and everybody is going to make their mistakes until they get a grab and hold on what kind of team they want to be”. Even the best wideouts in the league can’t fight through that.
