Rex Ryan expects Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor (sprained MCL) to return in Week 9 following a bye. "I'm confident he'll be back," said Ryan. "We'll see where he's at after we come back from the bye."
After witnessing the massive hole EJ Manuel put his team in, the coach is probably setting up a midnight vigil every night this week praying for Taylor's knee to heal. Looking at the coach's rare blank expression on the sideline after Manuel committed three of the more inept turnovers you'll ever see, one had to wonder if Ryan was pondering a "Million Pound Arm" challenge for London's finest at halftime and getting a better option than what was taking place on the field.
In fairness, Manuel somehow rallied and got his act together in the second half, but this team is clearly better with Taylor running the show compared to the former first-rounder. He can't get back soon enough if the Bills are going to save their slipping season.
