Brohm's Debut Downright "Fitzpatrickian" - 13WHAM.com
"In seven starts with the Bills this season, Ryan Fitzpatrick averaged the following numbers. 14 completions in 24 attempts for 163 yards. And that was the best the Bills had to offer at the quarterback position. Brohm by comparison, in his first NFL start was 17 of 29 for 146 yards and two interceptions. Yep, downright Fitzpatrickian."
Bills lose to Falcons
Bills offense powerless in loss to Falcons | BuffaloBills.com
"Brian Brohm did his level best, but another injury on the offensive line and an inconsistent running game left Buffalo’s offense punchless in a 31-3 loss to Atlanta at the Georgia Dome Sunday. The Falcons had just a 10-point halftime lead, but Buffalo’s offense was never able to reach the Atlanta red zone in another game where stringing positive plays together was a struggle. "

Owens on why he couldn’t adjust to ball – Inside The Bills
"It’s tough," Owens said after the game. "My coach harps on that about me adjusting to the ball and coming back to prevent the interception. But it’s hard because you’re at full speed. I know I’m running as fast as I can so it’s kind of hard to adjust like that when you’re expecting the ball to be out front. When the ball is kind of underthrown and you’re running full speed and if you don’t locate the ball initially then it’s kind of hard to just stop on a dime to adjust to a ball."

Take 2: Brohm Debut | wgrz.com
"To me in the final analysis, Brohm showed that he has the potential to be an effective NFL quarterback under the most dire of offensive circumstances. I'm anxious to see what he can do after competing during a full off-season and having time to work in an offensive scheme, and I'd certainly like to see him play again next week. "

- Bills interim coach Perry Fewell on QB Brian Brohm's performance: "For a guy that came in three or four weeks ago and thrust into a starting position, I thought he handled it OK. He was put in a tough position. He tried to answer the challenge and I think he's got a future."

Bills milestones and notes

"Buffalo Bills wide receiver Terrell Owens became the sixth player in NFL history to catch 1,000 passes in his career Sunday in the Bills' 31-3 loss to the Atlanta Falcons."
T.O. reacts to 1,000 career catches – Inside The Bills
"For me it doesn’t affect me," Terrell Owens said. "I just go out and play the game and all the records that I’m starting to accumulate it’s just part of what I’ve been doing throughout my career. I don’t play this game to record a record, it is what it is. I’m just blessed to play this game. I’ve been playing at a productive level and I’m honored to be on the list, but as far as where I am I don’t care about that. I would’ve rather had the win today."
Schobel far from finished | BuffaloBills.com
"Among the reasons for pondering retirement, Schobel said, was questioning his ability to maintain a high level of play moving forward. He showed otherwise against Atlanta, posting three sacks, giving him 10 on the season. Schobel now has four career double-digit sack seasons and the first since posting 14.0 sacks in 2006. He also forced two fumbles matching a career high."
Evans now number 3 – Inside The Bills
"His 43 receiving yards helped to put him all alone in third place on the Bills all-time receiving yardage list passing AFL Bills great Elbert Dubenion. Evans now has 5,307 yards. Only Eric Moulds (9,096) and Andre Reed (13,095) sit ahead of Evans on the team’s all-time receiving yardage list."
