Buffalo Bills news, 11/18: Bills-Jets recaps

Bills throttle Jets in rematch - BuffaloBills.com
"The Bills were not the beneficiary of too many breaks over the past six weeks, but on Sunday it all turned for Buffalo. A relentless defensive front and opportunistic secondary forced four turnovers leading to 17 Bills points, and a rejuvenated EJ Manuel tossed a pair of long touchdowns passes in a 37-14 blowout win over the Jets."

Inside The Bills | EJ drafted in part for wind swept days
Marrone: "Obviously EJ had the second or first biggest hands and then we knew for us we were able to, when we worked him out that night we worked him out in probably the conditions we just had (Sunday). Not the wind, but it was rainy, a little windy, we knew he could throw the ball and that was one of the factors that went in to picking EJ."

Marrone: "If you’re a running back getting the ball, that’s something you don’t expect. You can live with the other stuff, so I told him afterwards, ‘I would be ticked too, but the difference between me and you and this is what you have to do now is go over to that group right there, that offensive line, and you tell them you’re ticked.’ That’s what I told him."

"While he was taking everything he could away from the Jets on the field, Byrd was in a sharing mood after the game. He credited fellow safety Aaron Williams for giving him a heads-up on what play to look for on his first interception. He said the team’s coaches "do a great job of getting us in position to make plays." And he complimented cornerbacks Stephon Gilmore and Leodis McKelvin for their outside coverage of the Jets’ receivers."

"All losses sting, but I can’t tell the lie and say it didn’t matter. It hurt," Pettine said of the first meeting. "Just like I can’t tell the lie that this one didn’t mean a little bit more today. It wasn’t about me the last time, and it’s not about me this time. I have a great staff who did a really good job preparing the guys this week."

Manuel deserves a hand after big-time bounce-back effort - Sports - The Buffalo News

"We thought it would be better for the quarterback to have Nate down there," Marrone said. "With a young quarterback ... just to be down there it's a different sense. Those guys talk to each other all during the week, they talk to each other all during practice, [but] there's a little bit of separation when he's [upstairs]."

"Manuel wasn’t perfect, but he was good. More importantly, he wasn’t timid. The rookie took a lot of shots downfield, made some clever throws at less than full speed and faced down some Jets pressure with style. It was good sign, enough to silence even the staunchest EJ critics."
