Rex tells it like it is (usually)
Rex Ryan on Ben Roethlisberger: "For some of the (#Bills defensive players), quite honestly, I don't know if we can bring him down."

Ryan: LeSean McCoy "is a big reason we're still in this." #Bills

Rex said Sammy told him he felt better after the #Raiders game than he did after the #Jaguars game. #Bills

#Bills CB Ronald Darby out of concussion protocol and will be limited in practice, according to Rex.

Roster move
We have signed DB Brandon Dixon to our practice squad, and released RB Brandon Brown-Dukes from our practice squad.

And he’s not even playing HALF of the game
Ladarius Green is being targeted on 29% of his snaps this year. Second place at tight end is Trey Burton, who's at 17%. Ridiculous usage.

Imagine if he didn’t miss a couple
Le'Veon Bell is averaging 7 receptions per game this season (4th-most in NFL). More than OBJ, Mike Evans, Julio, T.Y., and Jordy). #Steelers
