This is the first time the teams have met since Week 8 of the 2004 season. He spent 22 years as an assistant coach, seven years as a head coach, and is the son of former head coach and defensive guru Buddy Ryan. Less than 24 hours after kick off, the team fired their offensive coordinator, Greg Roman, and replaced him with Anthony Lynn, the team’s running back coach.

“Coach Roman’s a very intelligent coach”.
Buffalo’s offense is expected to have a different look to it on Sunday when they host the Arizona Cardinals as the number of plays in the game plan are expected to be reduced. This is going to be a huge test for Lynn in his debut.
The Cardinals rebounded from a 23-21 loss to New England with a 40-7 rout of Tampa Bay.
SHORT-TERM MEMORY: Bills cornerback Stephon Gilmore is looking forward to putting behind his performance against the Jets. Gilmore and Darby have to be much better so that Ryan can utilize some of his blitz packages because right now. Fantasy Tip: Fitzgerald has shot to continue hot start against secondary that allowed Eric Decker six catches for 126 yards and TD, and Brandon Marshall six catches for 101 yards.
-Bills RT Jordan Mills vs. Cardinals SOLB Chandler Jones. The offensive coordinator will be up in the booth calling plays from there, communicating directly with Tyrod Taylor through the headset.
But basing off the ones they’ve had, the Bills’ offensive line has done. OK.
Greg Salas was added Thursday with a groin injury.
Despite the presence of playmakers such as McCoy and Sammy Watkins, the Bills rank 30th in the league in offense through two games (276.5 yards per game). Not that Watkins is blowing anyone’s socks off right now, but he draws double teams nearly every snap, so someone else has to take advantage. Two weeks in and Watkins has accumulated 6 receptions on 11 targets for 63 yards and no touchdowns. The next change is a bit of a smaller one, but one that some fans had been asking, ‘Wait, they weren’t doing that before?’ Roman spent his time on the sidelines during the game and called the plays from there – which will no longer be the case with Lynn.
