The Buffalo Bills came off their bye week with very little improvement to their game, and it showed during the 41-17 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Somehow the Bills always manage to lose it late in the game, and Sunday was no different. After playing competitively for three quarters, the Bills gave up 24 points in the final 15 minutes, and their grades for this week are just as bad as their fourth quarter meltdown.

Quarterback: If Sunday's game ended at halftime, Trent Edwards would've finished this weekend with a decent review. He got 118 of his 185 yards of passing yardage during the first half, and the second-quarter touchdown drive managed to get both Terrell Owens and Lee Evans the ball. Unfortunately for Edwards, the second half, and particularly the fourth quarter, wasn't very kind for the Bills' offense. Edwards interception late in the game was returned for a Titans TD, and it led to the end of his day, and interim coach Perry Fewell’s decision to start Ryan Fitzpatrick’s starting job next week against Jacksonville. At least we have Fred Jackson. Grade: C-

Running Backs: Unlike the passing game, the running game got off to a very slow start, but managed to put up a good stretch of runs during the second half. Fred Jackson and Marshawn Lynch didn't get much help from the O-line, but still managed to gain an average of five yards per carry. If they can figure out a way to hit the ground running from the start of the game instead of the start of the third quarter, next week's ground game could see a major improvement. Grade: C

Receivers: This past Sunday was one of the best games Buffalo receivers have had all season. Terrell Owens had three catches for a season-high of 85 yards. Lee Evans had his first two-touchdown game since 2007 and was part of a successful Wildcat touchdown during the first quarter. With Fitzpatrick taking over at quarterback, it'll be interesting to see if the receivers can carry some momentum over from this week's game. Grade: C+

Defense: The Bills' defense had very few answers for Vince Young, Chris Johnson and the rest of the Tennessee Titans. They gave up 378 yards and couldn't contain Johnson, who scored two touchdowns and became only the second player in Titans’ franchise history to have at least 100 yards rushing and receiving in the same game. They did manage to force Young to fumble the ball twice, and rookie Jairus Byrd set a team record by extending his interception streak to five games after picking off Young during the second quarter. Grade: D+

Special Teams: Although it wasn't a stand out week, Brian Moorman and Co. proved once again that they're the most consistent unit on the field. With Jackson as the go-to returner, the Bills haven't had many mistakes during kickoff and punt returns in recent weeks. Lindell and his leg have been a reliable source of offense all season, and Moorman continues to be one of the best players on the team. Grade: B

Coaching: Coming off the bye week and that crushing loss to the Houston Texans, fans were hoping for some sort of shake up on the field. While the Wildcat formation was an interesting twist, this week was just more of the same poor preparation and lack of inspiring coaching. It's good to know that the one last thing Jauron can do for the Bills is obtain a high draft pick. Let’s see now what Fewell can do. Grade: C-
