‘Among those joining them on the stage at the center’s Alan Forbes Theatre were linebacker Reggie Torbor, his wife, Britney and their 4-year-old son, Reggie Jr.; tight end Jonathan Stupar; nose tackle Kyle Williams; and safety Bryan Scott and his wife, Quiana.’

‘"The film doesn’t lie," Edwards said. "When you watch film with your teammates, you see the stuff that’s kind of standing out and teams are getting us on. We’re doing the best we can to try to get those things corrected. Guys are playing hard with a lot of effort and our defense has been better the last few weeks."’

‘"We were so bad at the beginning of the year on third downs, and Chan [Gailey] challenged us," Fitzpatrick said. "He made a point of emphasis, and said, ‘You have to be able to convert on third down to keep the offense on the field, to keep drives going, to change field position, to put yourself in scoring position.’ So it was just a challenge he gave us, and it’s something we’ve really focused on."’

‘Caulcrick, 6-foot-0 and 260 pounds, joined the Bills’ practice squad after being released by the San Francisco 49ers on Nov. 8. The move was precipitated by injuries to the Bills’ backfield. Rookie C.J. Spiller is out for Sunday’s game at Cincinnati due to a sore hamstring. Fullback Corey McIntyre has a sore ankle and was able to practice Friday on a limited basis. McIntyre is questionable for the Bengals game.’

‘”After practice today, Coach (Chan) Gailey wanted to see me and he told me what the circumstances were with injuries and he was going to promote me to the 53-man roster,” Caulcrick told The Post-Journal later in the afternoon. “I’ll have an opportunity to play fullback and tailback. It’s a good opportunity ahead of me.”

‘So here’s to America’s New Team, at least for this week, at least for as long as they do it the American way, fighting to the end, never quitting, until finally, at long last, they triumph. I hope they keep it up, and I hope they run the table for the rest of the season.’

‘”It’s definitely a dream come true,” said Caulcrick. “Back in high school playing in this stadium here I never imagined myself being in the locker room here being in front of the team so I’m definitely excited about this.”‘

‘One of Buffalo’s top three tacklers on defense is questionable for Sunday’s game at Cincinnati. Defensive tackle Kyle Williams was given the 50-50 designation along with FB Corey McIntyre and OL Cordaro Howard after Friday’s practice by head coach Chan Gailey.’
