‘They flew out of Mexico City at 1 a.m. Friday, headed to New York City. The plane ended up having to make a stop in Philadelphia but eventually made it to the Big Apple several hours late. From New York, they boarded a train to Buffalo.’

‘”We don’t make change just to make change,” Gailey said. “We do things that are going to help our football team be better this year to go win football games. I hope that (the players) understand everything we do is trying to get our football team better.”‘

‘ The Jets are a blitz-happy team, and they will do it regardless of down and distance. The Bills’ offensive line did a pretty good job keeping the Patriots away from Fitzpatrick, but they’ll be in for a far tougher test against the aggressive Jets.’

‘The bottom line: Most of the OL selections became reliable and productive players. The best of them didn’t contribute as much as the best of the QBs. There have been flops at both positions. Mike Williams is the OL version of QB JaMarcus Russell.’

‘"This week is going to be about beating the man across from you, getting off a block and making a play," Bills safety George Wilson said. "This is not going to be one of these backyard, drawing plays in the dirt kind of game. This is going to be a physical smash-mouth game."’

‘Jets, 20-16.’

‘"If you’re a good football team, you’re going to be hated by a lot of people," Ryan said Wednesday. "Our fans love us, and almost everybody else doesn’t like us. That’s fine. It’s like when the bully comes to town. Everybody wants to see him get beat. But I’d much rather be that way than the other way, where people don’t respect you. Do they like us? Probably not. But I know one thing, they respect us."’

‘The Bills have been in business for 51 seasons, most of which they have played without a tight end of star quality or close to it. The list is short…’.

‘I think there is a lot to be said about that. If I don’t hurt my knee, I probably don’t (fall far enough in the draft to) go to the Buffalo Bills. I probably don’t play football for Buffalo for 12 years. I probably don’t go to four Super Bowls. I could have gotten picked by the Lions and Barry maybe never would have been picked by the Lions.’

‘So what does it take to beat a bully? “Well, you throw the first punch,” said Bills defensive end Dwan Edwards.’

‘New York Jets 24, Buffalo 13.’
