‘”We’re just guys that nobody really wanted,” Johnson, a former Chabot College standout, told reporters in Buffalo this week.’

‘”We’re in a great situation. We’re in a great position, but we still have a long way to go. Eleven games,” Bills linebacker Andra Davis said. “I told you about being out there in Denver, 6-0, I’ll never let that happen again. 4-1 is great. It’s better than a lot of people, but at the same time, we’ve still got a lot of work. We could be 5-0, but at the same time we could be 2-3, we could be 0-5 like last year.”‘

‘Merriman said Friday he didn’t think the injury was significant. The Bills will have their bye next week, giving him an additional week to heal.’

‘Merriman missed Friday’s practice due to a lingering Achilles injury and was initially listed as doubtful for the contest, but on Saturday was downgraded to out.’

‘Bills 26, Giants 23.’

‘With Merriman and fellow veteran linebacker Chris Kelsay out with a calf injury the Bills could start a pair of second-year players at both outside linebacker positions in Danny Batten and Arthur Moats.’
