Posluszny getting up to speed

‘"I feel like I’m playing solid, but we still feel like it can be a lot better," said Posluszny, who is tied for seventh in tackles among NFL linebackers. "Once we go back and look at things, I feel there are more plays out there that we can make. It’s tough to compare years because in the past we had different responsibilities and different jobs. When it comes down to it, it’s still football. Are you getting to the football and making plays? I feel like I’ve made a few, but I can always make more."’

Spiller apologizes for use of derogatory term on Twitter

‘"You definitely have to be careful what you put [on Twitter]," he said. "If anybody knew how me and Ricky play around on Twitter, they pretty much know that we were just joking and didn’t mean any harm. I apologize for it and that’s kind of where we’ll leave it at."’

Fitz gives Gailey best chance to win, evaluate others

‘How is Brohm ever going to get better at handling blitzes and protections from the bench? Good point. Brohm did get a decent amount of practice snaps in the offseason and didn’t set himself apart from Fitz. You might argue that Gailey was wrong about Edwards based on the offseason. Fair enough. Gailey is very comfortable with Fitz. Barring injury, I don’t see Brohm getting a chance until the last couple of games.’

Back to future for Fitzpatrick

‘Fitzpatrick’s season stats are comparable, and in some instances better than those of Palmer. His passer rating is slightly higher (85.5 to 83.0 for Palmer), and while Palmer has more touchdown passes (16-14), Fitzpatrick has just seven interceptions to Palmer’s 11.’

Poz picking up steam

‘”We’re feeling more comfortable in our scheme and our job responsibility, so that’s making it easier for us to make plays,” Posluszny said. “Any time you’re comfortable with a defense and you’re able to just read and react, as opposed to think and hesitate … you’ll always play a lot faster, and that’s what we’re getting to.”‘

T.O. likes move Buffalo Bills made with Fitzpatrick

‘"I was shocked at the beginning of the season that Trent was named the starter," Owens said. "That staff recognized that he wasn’t at the level that they needed him to be at. With Fitzpatrick’s history and background, I knew the guy could play all along and I’m not surprised by any means he’s doing a great job for them."’

Owens can still put on a show

‘"Oh yeah. I mean, dude, there’s not really anything I can’t do," he said. "I keep saying, just put me in the right situation and around the right group of guys, that’s all I need. … I think my play speaks for itself."’

The Bills’ Williams is immovable object

‘”I think I’ve played well,” said Williams, who has 46 tackles and three sacks. “The main thing is playing fast. When you’ve been around and you get more reps and opportunities, you get more comfortable and you know what they’re trying to do to you. You get a good feel for it.”‘

Bills RB Spiller apologizes for tweet

‘The apology was posted Wednesday afternoon, shortly after Spiller used the term while exchanging tweets with close friend and former Clemson teammate, Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Ricky Sapp(notes). The original tweet has been deleted.’
