‘Tim Tebow Mania is starting to build in Buffalo.’

‘"You want everybody in the boat. That’s the bottom line in this business," coach Chan Gailey said. "If you get everybody together and headed in the same direction you give yourself a much better chance to win. Are there are extenuating circumstances and a lot of people and a lot of situations out there? Sure there are, but you hope that eventually we can get everybody together and on the same page and headed in the same direction because that gives you the best chance for success."’

‘”I think that what we’ve tried to do is create a work atmosphere,” he said. “We want to make sure that we understand that when we walk into this facility it’s all work. We’ve got something to accomplish.”‘

‘”When I came here I heard, ‘Oh the cupboard’s bare,’ ” Gailey said. “The next thing I heard was the team’s in disarray. The next thing I heard was the sky is falling. . . . But I’m here to tell you folks, it’s not. We’ve got some good players. We’ve got some good young players. . . . Buddy and our personnel department are going to do a great job of stacking players on players. But we’ve got the nucleus to be a good football team.”‘

‘The Bills have just one preseason game at Ralph Wilson Stadium this year, due to their agreement to bring games to Canada, which called for eight games over five seasons through 2010.’

‘The Bills are expected to beef up the offensive line in the first round. However, Tebow could still be available when their second-round pick comes around at No. 41 overall.’

‘Though there will be some pushing for Buffalo to pick a quarterback like Jimmy Clausen (Notre Dame) at No. 9, it would make way more sense for the Bills to anchor their JV-looking o-line by taking a tackle like Bryan Bulaga (Iowa), Trent Williams (Oklahoma) or Anthony Davis (Rutgers).’

‘The Buffalo Bills have signed free agent wide receiver Chad Jackson. The team also announced Wednesday that cornerback Ashton Youboty signed his one-year tender.’

‘It will be the fourth game of Buffalo’s eight-game series in Toronto through the 2012 season.’
