‘Fueling the sellout was the team’s decision to link single-game ticket sales for the Sept. 26 regular-season home opener against quarterback Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers to the Bills game. Fans had to purchase similarly priced tickets to the preseason game to secure Packers tickets.’

‘”We had great fans through morning practices, afternoon practices, and Wednesday night practices. I want to thank St. John Fisher. What a great job these guys have done year-in and year-out. This is really my first experience with it and it’s second to none. There as big as part of making our camp as productive as it was.”‘

‘Well, my mindset going into a game is that I am the best and I am going to beat this guy flat out lined up across from me. That is how my feelings are going into every game.’

‘Vincent signed a six-year deal with the Bills this offseason. He’ll likely play half of that…’

Won’t go to the playoffs if … Travis Henry and Willis McGahee don’t grow up and realize that starting isn’t everything.

The most successful run of Christie’s career came from 1992-2000 as a member of the Buffalo Bills, where he scored over 100 points in eight of nine seasons and played in two Super Bowls.

Just his weekly chat session but he comments on Losman and getting another QB due to his injury, Henry as RB starter, resurgance of Bledsoe – amongst othre NFL news and notes.

‘"There was no hidden agenda coming in," said linebacker Takeo Spikes. "We knew what to expect because of his background. I think what we benefited most is that he’s an ex-player. He knows the response he gets from his players as far as how far he’s going to push us."’

‘Coleman was so good in preseason last year he forced his way on to the roster. He could never get open once he faced better players. He caught eight passes for 69 yards. Coleman has a very bad camp this season. He short armed the ball twice on Wednesday which may have spelled his demise.’

”’Consistency,” receiver Eric Moulds said. ”I think we lacked a lot of consistency last year. And I think at times this year, in the first two preseason games, we haven’t been really consistent.”’

‘Brown has gotten a reputation of being a better quarterback in a game than he is in practice. It’s not something he denies. “That’s what our job is, to go out and play the game,” he said. “They don’t keep stats on practices. If other people consider me a gamer, that’s great. I’m just going to go out there and try to help this team win.”‘

‘There will be no honeymoon for Mike Mularkey, whose bosses believe this team has playoff talent.’

‘Coleman spent two years with the Bills and had eight catches for 69 yards in 14 games last year. Signed as an undrafted free agent in 2002, Coleman hurt his foot in minicamp that year and spent part of the season on Buffalo’s practice squad.’

‘The Buffalo Bills have released the following six players…’.

‘Although Losman’s injury is a setback in terms of his development, it won’t have a major impact on the depth chart. Brown is entrenched as the No. 2 QB. He has had a good training camp, earning praise from the coaching staff. “He’s done well,” Mularkey said. “I like his field presence. I think the players feed off of his emotions. They believe he can move the ball.”‘
