ORCHARD PARK, N.
Byron Murphy Womens Jersey .Y. -- Bills coach
Rex Ryan isnt delivering on his vow that his prized defense will be improved
over last years porous unit.And Tyrod Taylor is showing few signs of being the
Bills long-term answer at quarterback or worthy of having his lucrative
five-year contract extension being picked up by the team this offseason.The only
thing thats close to being certain is the Bills (6-7) are all but eliminated
from playoff contention, closer to extending the NFLs longest active postseason
drought to 17 years following a 27-20 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on
Sunday.Ryan was defiant when asked about whether he deserved a shot to continue
on the job beyond his second season.What do you think Im going to say? Youre
dang right I do, Ryan said. It hasnt gone exactly the way I wanted it to go,
thats obvious. But we have three games left and well try to win every one of
them.And he said the blame for the Bills record falls on everyone.Im saying as a
football team we failed, Ryan said. We lost games. But youre never going to say
its just the defense or its this side of the ball or whatever. It wasnt good
enough on either side of the ball today.It was the second consecutive dud the
Bills have produced. They squandered a 15-point third-quarter lead in a 38-24
loss at Oakland last week.Ryans prized defense got torched by LeVeon Bell, who
scored three times and set a Steelers record with 236 yards rushing. Its the
second time the Bills have given up 200-plus yards rushing. They gave up 256 in
a 28-25 loss at Miami on Oct. 23, when Dolphins running back Jay Ajayi had 214
of those yards.That is disgusting when you say that stat out loud, linebacker
Jerry Hughes said, referring to Bells rushing number. We understand that is not
what you can do to get to the playoffs.The Bills finished 19th in yards allowed
last season -- the worst finish by a Ryan-coached defense in his 11 years as
head coach or coordinator.It didnt help Sunday that Buffalo was missing veteran
defensive tackle Kyle Williams, sidelined after his back locked up following
practice on Thursday.The Bills offense, however, couldnt lean on injuries as an
excuse.With Robert Woods returning after missing two games with a sprained left
knee, the Bills had their top three receivers in the lineup together for the
first time since the first two weeks of the season.The Taylor-led offense
sputtered through much of the first three quarters before engineering two
touchdown drives in the final 7:27 of the fourth quarter to make the score
respectable.Ryan was noncommittal, saying well see, when asked if Taylor will
remain his starter through the final three games of the season. Taylor would
only say its Ryans decision on who will start.As for his performance, Taylor
acknowledged it was subpar.Definitely didnt play my best, Taylor said. I let the
team down a couple of plays, but gotta move forward.In signing Taylor to a
five-year contract extension in August, the Bills retained the right to opt out
of the deal -- and the $27.5 million he is owed in salary and bonuses -- before
it kicks in this offseason.The Bills had minus-1 yard through two series in the
first quarter, becoming the NFLs first team this season to have negative yards
through the first 15 minutes. And they had combined for seven first downs and 87
yards net offense on their first nine possessions.That included Sammy Watkins
8-yard touchdown catch set up by Stephon Gilmore returning Roethlisbergers
second interception to the Pittsburgh 7 midway through the second
quarter.Watkins came to Taylors defense, saying the quarterback isnt the only
one to blame.You just cant say, `blame him. Youve got to blame everybody,
Watkins said. Its not on one player. I can do things better. The wide receivers.
The tight ends. The line can help him out.---For more NFL coverage:

. LOUIS -- Lance Lynn was one of the more enthusiastic participants as the St.
MIAMI -- Jacob Turners season debut was a rousing success. After pitcher Alex
Sanabia was placed on the disabled list earlier in the week, Turner was called
up from Triple-A New Orleans to take his spot in the rotation. The 22-year-old
right-hander responded by tossing seven scoreless innings in his season debut
and Marcell Ozuna had three hits to help the Miami Marlins halt a nine-game
losing streak with a 5-1 win over the New York Mets on Friday night. "I feel Ive
been throwing the ball like this in Triple-A," said Turner, who was drafted
ninth overall by Detroit in 2009 and traded to the Marlins last season. "To be
honest with you, it was a matter of time of making the adjustments I needed to
make and get everything right." Recalled before the game, Turner (1-0) allowed
five hits and walked one while striking out three. "Turner did a tremendous job
coming up," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "I know he was excited to get the
opportunity to go out there and start." Turner was 3-4 with a 4.47 ERA in 10
starts with New Orleans before the promotion. "The last five or six starts,
everythings coming together," Turner said. "Obviously, it took a little bit
longer than I would have liked but Im happy that it is here now." Pinch-hitter
Jordan Brown hit a two-run double, and Ed Lucas and Jeff Mathis each drove home
a run in the pivotal seventh as the Marlins won for the third time in 19 games.
"A lot of good things out there tonight," Redmond said. After sweeping four
Subway Series games from the New York Yankees, the Mets had their longest
winning streak of the season snapped at five. Shaun Marcum (0-6) allowed four
runs and seven hits in 6 2-3 innings, becoming the first Mets pitcher to open a
season with six consecutive losses since Mike Pelfrey went 0-7 in 2007. The
right-hander struck out a career-high 12 over seven strong innings in a
no-decision Sunday night against Atlanta. "Its just one of those nights where he
kept us in the game, gave us a chance, we didnt mount much offence -- but I
certainly wasnt disappoointed with the way Shaun pitches, thats for sure," Mets
manager Terry Collins said.
Kyler Murray Womens Jersey. Ozuna led off the
fifth with a single to extend his hitting streak to 16 games, the longest
current run in the majors. He is batting .356 (21 for 59) during the streak. "I
feel good because Im enjoying my game," Ozuna said. "The manager and coaches
give me confidence and always stress that I remain calm and also have fun."
Marcum got out of a bases-loaded jam when Jeff Mathis bounced into a double
play, keeping the game scoreless. Derek Dietrich doubled to start the seventh
for the Marlins and Ozuna followed with a bloop single. Two batters later,
Lucas, making his first major league start, blooped a single of his own for his
first career hit after 10 years in the minors. That scored Dietrich for a 1-0
lead. "Its been 10 years. I never stopped hoping," Lucas said. "I finally got an
opportunity. Hopefully there will be more to come." Mathis came up with the
bases loaded again and this time delivered a sacrifice fly. Brown batted for
Turner and hit a two-run double to left-centre, making it 4-0 and ending Marcums
night. "Its frustrating," Marcum said. "I think every pitcher will tell you its
more frustrating making quality pitches and having bloopers fall in." Daniel
Murphy hit an RBI double in the eighth for the Mets. Ozuna had an RBI double in
the bottom half. NOTES: Ozunas hitting streak is the second-longest by a Marlins
rookie behind Edgar Renterias 22-game run in 1996. ... Murphy is hitting .382
(29 for 76) in his last 19 games. ... Marlins prospect Jake Marisnick hit two
grand slams and had nine RBIs on Thursday with Double-A Jacksonville. ... Miami
rookie RHP Jose Fernandez (2-3, 3.78 ERA) will face the Mets for the third time
this season Saturday when he pitches against RHP Collin McHugh, a replacement
for ailing LHP Jonathon Niese. Fernandez has not received a decision in his
first two starts against New York and has a 3.00 ERA. "Hes got one of the better
arms in the entire league," Collins said.
