‘On what progress was dealt with during bye week – “Looking at the bye week practices we went back to a lot of good fundamental work. Working on us, really looking at it and self-scouting how we preformed in those previous seven ball games. How much we have improved or how much was addressed? I don’t know, because you do not know until Sunday. We have had good practices in the past and still not preformed on Sunday. So we just need to go out there and carry over from the bye week and this week in practice and on Sunday have a good performance.”‘

‘On the offensive line switch and the confidence of Jason Peters – There will be a learning curve there obviously. He has played left tackle before, but he played it the year before, not this year. It’s not brand new, but it’s new this year. There will be some learning. We’ve had three real good practices last week with him and a good practice Monday with him. That’s not a lot of time, but the guys are familiar with each other in terms of working together and communicating. I have a lot of faith in Jason, but I’m not saying you’ll see the finished product this Sunday. He’ll do a real decent job with real good players to play against. It will be a test for him. Jason is a unique athlete and as I said, I have a lot of confidence in what he’ll do.’

‘The Bills are trying to stay positive despite posting the third-lowest point total in the NFL (100).’

‘Responsible for 13 of the team’s 21 sacks on the year, the defensive ends are largely the reason the team ranks third in the league in sacks per pass play and stands tied for third in the AFC in team sacks with Baltimore.’

‘”The first year is tough and it’s almost like playing two seasons in one,” Whitner said. “Last year I went straight from camp at Ohio State to the season to training for the NFL Combine to the [organized team activities]. You really don’t get any rest.”‘

‘The press box would be moved to the Red Zone Club, which is located in the corner of the tunnel end zone, in the corner closer to the Bills bench.’

‘Jauron coached defensive backs for the Packers from 1986 to 1994.’

‘A Bills spokesman said he wasn’t aware of the incident.’

‘In an e-mail to the Herald, a spokesman for the Bills organization, Scott Berchtold, said he sent a copy of yesterday’s Herald story to their “Operations/Security Department and they are in the fact-finding process surrounding this alleged incident.” The couple’s attorney, Daniel Moynihan, said he sent the Bills organization a letter yesterday. “It says that we’re putting them on notice of injuries that were sustained as a result of their negligence,” Moynihan said.’

‘Kicker Rian Lindell: “Darth Vader absolutely. I think I was Darth for about three years in a row. I even tried him last year. The costume was supposed to be one size fits all if you’re six feet or under. So it didn’t work.”‘

‘Over the course of the final nine games, Losman could very well be playing for his job for next season. Given the fact that the Bills signed former Green Bay backup Craig Nall to a relatively decent contract during the offseason, there’s a good chance the coaching staff, headed by Dick Jauron, will want to see what he has. If Nall gets his chance and fails, Buffalo would then turn its attention to a QB in the 2007 offseason, whether through free agency or the draft.’

‘Bills 23, Packers 17.’
