Dubious record for Bills D in loss to 49ers - BuffaloBills.com
"There’s obviously something I’m not doing correctly with this football team in the second half," said head coach Chan Gailey. "We’ve been in two games in a row at halftime and played extremely poor in the second half and that’s as nice as you can put it for two weeks in a row. We’re not playing physical like we should and we’re not doing the things we need to do."

Inside The Bills | More O-linemen down for Bills
"C/G David Snow is the most familiar with Buffalo’s offensive system. He was an undrafted signee back in May and went through all of training camp and preseason with the club. So he’s the most likely call up. G/T Reggie Stephens and G/T Andrew Jackson were just signed by the club last week following the injuries to Glenn and Urbik as insurance. Unfortunately one or both might be pressed into action depending on the severity of Rinehart’s calf injury."

"No, no, no, no," Williams said at his locker stall. "You don’t get beat like that from your head coach. I don’t care what you say. He’s not out there, going to get sacks. He’s not out there, covering receivers. He’s not out there, getting turnovers. From No. 1 to No. 11 on defense, this is all on us. … This is no head coach, no position coach."

Donte Whitner: Bills 'chasing something that's not there' | Press Coverage
"I feel for the players over there because I don't think it's the players," Whitner told Gleason. "I think that it's management. They're chasing something that's not there. Guys like George Wilson and Jairus Byrd, guys that give you 100 percent on every play, they don't get rewarded for things they do on the football field."
Bills defense historically awful | Press Coverage

WGR 550 - Sideline Reactions: 49ers 45 - Bills 3
"Two straight dismantling losses will stick in the craw of the Bills for the next couple of days I'm sure, but they have a very large opportunity to get it back on track. These next two games are the biggest of their season. A win in Arizona and at home against Tennessee will get them right back on track. A loss to the Cardinals in the same fashion as the previous two, and another home loss to Tennessee?"

Immediate Reactions: 49ers 45, Bills 3 | THE BEST OF NICK MENDOLA . . .LIVE
"Look, I know how ugly this football game was, pretty much start to finish. Still it’s very, very important that you make amends with some of the factors outside the Bills control. In no way am I forgiving this performance, but the Niners are an elite team coming off a 34-0 beating of the Jets in New York. The Bills were without a number of starting offensive linemen and their second-choice right guard played injured. On top of all that, the game was being played on the West Coast, which is a notable obstacle The odds were stacked against them just to keep it close. They went with the odds."
