ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- At a time when Tyrod Taylors long-term future in Buffalo is in question, coach Rex Ryan put his quarterback on notice on Monday by saying hes not happy with the Bills passing attack.In assessing what went wrong with Buffalos defense during a second-half meltdown in a 38-24 loss at Oakland on Sunday, Ryan wrapped up his answer by placing some of the blame on his offense.Obviously, we have to be able to throw the football if people are going to get it down there a little bit, Ryan said, in an apparent reference to Taylor missing throws to open receivers. Thats been inconsistent, and obviously that can help us, too.The Bills squandered a 24-9 lead over the final 20 minutes, during which the Raiders scored 29 consecutive points and Buffalos offense combined for 68 net yards with Taylor turning the ball over twice.Ryan followed up by questioning whether he and his staff are asking too much of Taylor as a passer.For some reason, (its) not getting done to where we need it to, he said, noting the Bills rank 31st in the NFL in allowing a sack for every 11 pass attempts. Thats clearly not good enough. So we just have to take a hard look and weve got to improve in a hurry.Ryans criticisms of Taylor are a departure for a coach who had previously been a staunch defender the teams second-year starter. And they come at a time when Buffalo (6-6) is falling out of the playoff picture and in jeopardy of extending the NFLs longest active postseason drought to 17 years.Buffalo has no margin for error in opening a three-game homestand against Pittsburgh (7-5) on Sunday.Taylors future in Buffalo isnt secure beyond this season. Though the Bills signed Taylor to a five-year contract extension in August, the team 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.Ryan did defend Taylor by noting the Bills have spent much of the season playing with an injury-depleted group of receivers. Starter Sammy Watkins has played just three games because of an injury to his surgically repaired left foot, and Robert Woods has missed three games due to foot and knee injuries.Regardless of whether its Tom Brady or anybody else, I think thats going to affect you, Ryan said.Inconsistency, however, has been an ongoing concern, and became apparent against Oakland.Taylor was 12 of 18 for 132 yards passing and had a touchdown rushing when Mike Gillislee scored on a 2-yard run to put Buffalo ahead 24-9 six minutes into the third quarter. Taylor closed by completing six of his final 17 attempts for 59 yards.Buffalo leads the NFL with 1,943 yards rushing, but ranks last with 2,178 yards passing.There was plenty of blame to be spread in an outing during which Ryan acknowledged all three phases of his team imploded.The defense allowed the Raiders to scored four touchdowns on five drives and failed to register a takeaway for the fifth time in six outings. Punter Colton Schmidt struggled by mis-hitting consecutive punts -- one for 35 yards and the other 39 -- to set up Raiders scoring drives.Linebacker Preston Brown pinned the blame on the defense.It was like the longest third quarter ever. We came out and go up by 15, and everybody thought, `Oh, weve got it, Brown said. Then they just stormed back. It was our fault on defense. Weve got to make plays. (The offense) gave us a good lead. Weve got to find ways to hold it.Game notes CB Ronald Darby (concussion protocol) has been cleared to practice after missing one game. ... LB Lerentee McCray has been placed in the concussion protocol after being hurt against Oakland. ... Without getting into specifics, Ryan said communication couldve been better when it came to him learning TE Charles Clay planned to miss the game at Oakland to attend the birth of his first child.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Air Jordan 1 Outlet .C. -- Glenn Howard needed an extra end to move into the Masters Grand Slam of Curling final.

Jordan Lewis is not angry with Hawthorn, but his manager concedes there is a chance the four-time premiership star could still play for Melbourne next year.Lewis, 30, was believed to be taken aback by a post-season conversation with Alastair Clarkson where the coach urged him to consider his playing future beyond next season - the last year of his current contract with the club.However, after news of Sam Mitchells shock trade to West Coast emerged last week, the club moved to clarify that Lewis was a contracted and required player.But his manager, Liam Pickering, had already made an approach to the Demons by then.Theres no issues ... hes not filthy, hes not angry, Pickering told SEN on Saturday.(He) is a professional, hes the vice-captain of the club, finished second in the best-and-fairest last week, whatever happens will happen.Hes a Hawthorn player at the moment, so theres a good chance that hell be a Hawthorn player because hes contracted to Hawthorn.ddddddddddddI need to keep working through it with Jordan and well see where it goes.Theres no timeline.Hawthorn have been busy in this years AFL trade and free agency periods.They have signed unrestricted free agent key forward Ty Vickery from Richmond, traded in Tom Mitchell from Sydney and shipped former skipper Sam Mitchell off to the Eagles.They also engineered a swap of draft picks with St Kilda that left them with the Saints first-round pick this year - the 10th selection overall.Gold Coast star Jaeger OMeara remains a key trade target and Lewis may yet end up in Melbourne colours next season as the club seeks to clear salary cap space.Well wait and see how it all unfolds, Pickering said.But Im having good dialogue with Melbourne and also the Hawks.
