It managed just 160 yards Buffalo’s lowest total in a decade in a season-opening 13-7 loss at Baltimore on Sunday. The 49ers’ offense finished in the bottom half of the league in yards three out of the four seasons Roman was in San Francisco.

Guard Richie Incognito said he felt “terrible” for Roman, but believes the offense will rally under Lynn. Goodwin easily ran past Revis and left #24 flailing desperately at the speedster’s legs as he easily scored. Even though this was a must-win for both teams (because only 12% of teams that start 0-2 on the season make the playoffs), NY has the better all around team and that’s why I knew they needed this win more.
A reporter then informed Revis he actually was a track star – Goodwin competed in long jump at the 2012 Olympic games in London. Though most of the issues last night were focused on a defense that couldn’t get the Jets offense off the field, Ryan figured that the offense was the bigger issue (or that he didn’t want to fire his brother). The 47-year-old Lynn is no stranger to the Rex Ryan system, having worked with him when he coached the New York Jets from 2009 to 2014. The secondary broke down again on Greg Salas’ 74 yard score in the 3 Quarter. The Bills defense caused a fumble that was returned by Nickell Robey-Coleman for a touchdown to take a 24-20 lead. And probably never better than they were in Buffalo on Thursday night.
“I was surprised when he came back out there with a little pep in his step”, running back Matt Forte said.
“The Jets were a much better team than we were today”, Ryan said.
-SPECIAL TEAMS: B. K Nick Folk (3-for-3 on field goals, 4-for-4 on PATs) bounced back from his nightmarish opener.
Fitzpatrick admitted it “was very scary” to see Marshall leave early in the second quarter with a knee injury.
This was a statement game for Fitzpatrick, who imploded on this field last January 3 in what he called the most disappointing loss of his career.
Buffalo Bills’ Defense: I don’t really know what to say here because they got beat bad all over the field, and when they should’ve forced three and outs, they received a penalty to keep the Jets on the field.
Taylor’s first play of the fourth quarter was an interception on a long pass down the left sideline.
If Taylor’s play drops off, it could mean the end of his time with the Bills as the team has flexibility in its new contract with the quarterback.
Fitzpatrick completed passes to six different receivers as Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker each went over 100 yards.
“It’s one of those thing where the decision is made, and we’re going to rally around the guys that we have in this room”, Incognito said. Lynn coached with Ryan in NY, like so much of the Bills’ staff.

“I was afraid to pressure”, Ryan said, “because we weren’t holding up in man coverage”.
