Bills fire offensive co-ordinator Greg Roman after 0-2 start

Roman schemed the players to get open in the passing attack, that’s on Taylor to identify and hit the players to keep the ball moving down the field. He sealed the win by patiently waiting for a seam to open before scampering into the end zone from 12 yards to put NY up 37-24 with 4:02 left in the fourth quarter. And as if the team needed a reminder of how far the young quarterback had come, he had just put up three touchdowns and almost 400 yards of offence against a very good defence with his best playmaker hampered by a recurring foot problem that may require surgery. The Bills’ offense was pathetic in their season-opening loss to the Ravens, managing only 160 total yards, their lowest output since 2006.

Roman joined Rex Ryan’s staff past year after running the San Francisco 49ers’ offense the previous four seasons.

It is no coincidence that these changes come after a loss to the Jets. I was afraid to pressure because we weren’t holding up in man coverage, which we played the whole game in. The fact it’s a division rival, we know it’s going to be tough.

Roman’s firing comes as somewhat of a surprise after the Bills put up 31 points last night, in a loss to the New York Jets.

“Obviously, we never expected this”, Ryan said. “We’ll come up with a good plan”.

There’s still time to turn it around in 2016, but with games against Arizona and New England on deck, an 0-4 start is a very real, and a very serious possibility. The Bills gave up 493 yards to the Jets on Thursday night, making Ryan Fitzpatrick look like a modern day Dan Marino with his repeated vertical strikes.

He went 18 of 30 for 298 yards and three touchdowns and an interception.

The Bills responded by scoring on three straight possessions spanning halftime to go up 24-20.

A smart franchise doesn’t. look, we could spend a long time listing the Bills’ failings in recent years. After having difficulty covering Bengals receiver A.J.

If the running backs and other wide receivers can follow in his footsteps and Tyrod Taylor can connect with his receivers then next game should be a good one to watch.

An 0-2 start didn’t sit well with Buffalo Bills management.

Back to offense for the Jets with Brandon Marshall leading the charge. Bills cornerback Stephon Gilmore grabbed Marshall’s facemask and went down awkwardly, twisting his knee. Marshall immediately grabbed his knee and lay on the field for a few minutes before getting up on his own. As a lifelong fan of University of Tennessee football and the New Orleans Saints as well as most recently the Los Angeles Lakers in basketball, I understand how painfully embarrassing it is to watch the live dumpster fire that is your favorite team.especially with a hate-able coach.
