Postgame quotes: Assorted members of the Bills

Chris Kelsay, Defensive End
On the injuries
It is bad luck I guess. I don’t know how else you would explain it. I have never been a part of something like this, were we have had this many guys go down this early, and especially significant contributors on the defensive side of the ball. It is frustrating. Every time we have had an injury in the last two games, we have said the same thing. You have got to continue to move forward because that is your job. You hate to see it. The guys that are plugged in and healthy have to play at a high level and obviously we are not playing at a high enough level right now.

John McCargo, Defensive Tackle
On the Patriots’ running game
They are a good team and we just had to stop the running game and we just didn’t get it done. We have to put this behind us and look forward to the next game. Take a step forward and don’t look back. Out of sight and out of mind. We can’t go back and play it again.

Ashton Youboty, Cornerback
(On the Patriots’ passing game)
They have three new receivers and those guys are good at what they are here for. They did a good job today. We had a good scheme coming into the game but I think Tom did a good job of picking his battles and getting the ball to the right receiver.

Peerless Price, Wide Receiver
On the Bills offense
The difference was execution. A missed assignment here, a missed assignment there. Getting the proper route, that is all there is. Football isn’t a hard game, but you can make it hard. The team that executes, the team with the fewest mistakes, usually wins.

Angelo Crowell, Linebacker
On how the team continues to move forward after another starter is injured
We don’t have a choice. There is no giving up. You have to keep fighting with the players that you have. You have to believe the next guy is going to get the job done. That is all you can really do.
On frustrating the Patriots’ offense early in the game
I felt very confident with the game plan we had coming in here. We were executing and then somehow the tide just turned.

Josh Scobey, Running back
On punt return success
I’ve been returning punts in this league for a long time, so it wasn’t a surprise to me. When you are a backup player in this league, you just want to be prepared to do well. I was able to get a couple of nice returns and help the team out. Overall, we just have to get back to the fundamentals. We’ve got to someway, somehow figure this thing out because this is just unacceptable. This is not the way.
On pressure of making a big play
Making a big play is always on my mind. If I could have broke one out it would have been an uplifting thing for our team. I was really trying, but the coverage units were doing a good job today and they put the ball in some places where it made it difficult for us to get some good returns.

Kyle Williams, Defensive Tackle
On looking forward to the next few weeks
The great thing about this league is that you get to play the next week. The hard thing is that you have to play next week. Right now we are in a hard situation because of all the guys we have hurt. No matter who’s playing, we have to go out there and make plays.
On injuries
We have a ton of them. But we are getting paid to play football and we have to adapt. It’s tough, but we’re a football team and we have to stick together.
