‘”You lose this many games in a row, we all get criticism,” Gailey said. “There’s nobody that escapes criticism when you’re doing what we’re doing right now.”‘

‘”I don’t have any response. I get the ball when they give it to me,” said Spiller. “I don’t have any response to that, and I’m not gonna sit here and bicker about, you know, ‘Can I carry the ball 25-30 times.’ I know what I can do as a player. The times they give it to me I’m gonna try to take advantage of ’em.”‘

‘”If I ever get a chance to play Carolina I’m going to make them pay for passing up on me,” said Dareus. “Denver I’ll get a chance to play them in the regular season and I’m going to make it hell for them every time I play against them.”‘

‘Bills game day activities include the Bills Shredd & Ragan Tailgate Party in parking lot C. The tailgate party features live rock band “Rich and Famous” on stage along with dance performances by the Jills Cheerleaders and the Bills Shredd & Ragan live pregame show. Bills partners will also engage fans with giveaways and interactive games.’

‘The window has closed on the opportunity for NFL fans to vote for who they feel is deserving of Pro Bowl recognition this season. With the fans voting totals counting for one-third of the total tally for the 2012 Pro Bowl, a few of Buffalo’s players were given a good head start with player and coach Pro Bowl ballots being cast this week.’

‘Broncos 27, Bills 19.’

‘The superintendent is required by law to report to the state Education Department any teacher who has been “convicted of a crime, or has committed an act which raises a reasonable question as to the individual’s moral character.” After an investigation and hearing, the state education commissioner could decide whether to discipline the teachers.’

‘"Every team suffers through injuries to some degree, and we’ve been hit pretty good with it this year," linebacker Chris Kelsay said. "We lost several key factors on our team both offensively and defensively, and sometimes that’s tough to overcome. I think the coaches will be the first ones to tell you it’s an opportunity for them to prepare other guys and give other guys a chance to show what they can do. And you either do it or don’t as a player."’

‘Say what you will, but it’s easy to cheer for a guy like him. All indications show a genuine, unapologetic do-gooder. His foundation built a hospital in the Philippines, where he was born while his parents served as Christian missionaries. He’s simply a good human being.’

‘”I think that comment was probably a little bit too blunt,” Elway said. “Because I think the big picture with Tim is we’ve got to see the whole body of work. And so really what you want to see with him is the improvement that’s going to happen over time.”‘

‘”A lot of times in college you’ll have teammates and friends, but then you also have some guys on each team that you’re really close with,” Nelson said Tuesday as a crush of reporters surrounded him at his locker stall. “Tim was one of those guys I was really close with and spent a lot of time with. We developed a relationship to where we know that (even if) we’re not playing together, we still keep in touch and still try to stay connected.”‘

‘”We were all like, ‘What’s wrong with this guy?’ But as we got to know who he was and what he’s about, we realized it wasn’t fake,” Nelson said. “It was really genuine and that’s how he approaches everything in life.”‘

‘”Well, I thought this: The first team that had guts enough to try it, it was going to work for about two years and then defensive coaches in the NFL would catch up to it a little bit and then it would be a struggle,” Gailey said.’

‘”He’s a very good player,” Tebow said of Dareus. “He had a great college career, very disruptive. I remember he was a little banged up one year we played them. He’s very strong, a very physical player.”‘
