‘ESPN.com on Wednesday reported that Bills chief operating officer Russ Brandon traveled to Denver and spent seven hours meeting with Shanahan on Monday night and Tuesday morning. Shanahan was quoted as saying he had “an excellent meeting.”‘

‘Former Denver Broncos coach Mike Shanahan met for seven hours Monday night and Tuesday morning in Denver with Buffalo Bills chief operating officer Russ Brandon.’

‘A person familiar with the injury tells The Associated Press that Wood isn’t expected to return to Buffalo until Thursday. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the team has not updated the player’s status since Monday.’

‘The Bills filled the other hole on the interior of their offensive line Wednesday left vacant by veteran guard Seth McKinney. Buffalo promoted C/G Christian Gaddis from their practice squad and placed McKinney on injured reserve.’

‘The Bills have been outscored in the fourth quarter this season 109-40, close to a 3:1 ratio through the first 10 games. Only one team in the NFL has given up more fourth quarter points (Miami, 110). In six of Buffalo’s 10 games they have been shut out in the final stanza of the contest, and in their last three outings the Bills have been outscored in the fourth quarter 54-0, all losses.’

‘”I can’t tell you how proud I was of those guys that just stayed in the trenches and fought and slugged it out with that offensive line,” Fewell said of Johnson and Williams.’

‘We’ve been critical of the Bills’ special teams play this season, hinting that the league has started to gain ground on guru Bobby April. But it’s tough to make chicken salad out of chicken feed (or something like that). After the Bills tied it at 3-3, the three guys who circled Jags’ return man Brian Witherspoon were Ellis Lankster, Cary Harris and Todd Johnson. If you can rattle of their uniform numbers without a roster, consider yourself a true fan – and think about getting a hobby.’
