Roman, 44, who grew up in Ventnor and is a 1990 Holy Spirit High School graduate, was dismissed one day after a 37-31 loss to the New York Jets.

Sure enough, the Bills led the National Football League in rushing last season, and quarterback Tyrod Taylor made enough electrifying plays to provide expectations that Buffalo could take big strides in Roman’s scheme in year two. Fitzpatrick closed the loss by throwing interceptions on each of the Jets final three possessions. “It’s been one of the strangest, most disconnected first two games of any season”, said analyst Matt Sabuda during WBFO’s Beyond the Playbook. “We’ll wait to see when the tests come back and go from there”. Ryan also wasn’t pleased when he learned of the nature of them, according to one source briefed on his thinking. First, it was a 13-7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, a game in which the Bills offense totaled just 160 yards.
NY came back again with Enunwa once again catching a Fitzpatrick pass for a first down. The only bright side was safety Nickell Robey-Coleman returning Jalin Marshall’s fumble 36 yards for a touchdown to briefly put the Bills ahead 24-20.
Last week the Bengals picked on former All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis as A.J. Green racked up a massive game. Since he has been the coach the pass rush has gone the way of the buffalo and completely vanished.
On the third play of the third quarter, Taylor rolled to his right to escape the rush and located a wide open Greg Salas for a 71-yard touchdown pass. That’s what the Bills got from their No. 1 target. Everyone can breathe a big sigh of relief now.
WR Brandon Marshall on how serious he thought his second-quarter knee injury was.
Marshall returned for the next series and made a 21-yard catch after having his knee examined. The duo combined for 12 catches for 227 yards and a score.
Bowles says left guard James Carpenter (calf) and linebacker Erin Henderson (foot) were still undergoing tests and their status was unknown. “It started with Quincy Enunwa”. “I was occupied doing something with the defense, and when I turned around, I looked at it”. We have to get better before we look at a specific opponent. Just bad ball all around. “To their credit, it never mattered what we played”.

While it should be noted, the Jets didn’t just win the game with their stars, but they certainly welcomed them back into the fold.
