‘Dexter McCluster is the Kansas City Chiefs’ version of C.J. Spiller.’

‘Each of the three December home games – against Jacksonville, St. Louis and the New York Jets – has roughly 20,000 tickets still available, Brandon said. And the Bills’ lone prime-time home game, the Thursday night date with the Miami Dolphins, still has about 9,000 tickets left.’

‘Deputies will be using a mobile computer to track whether an individual has authorization to use a handicapped parking tag.’

‘”He’s a guy that we think highly of,” said Fitzpatrick. “As a young guy you tend to go crazy sometimes just thinking about everything and getting caught up in the moment. Getting him out there, getting him comfortable and getting his feet wet a little bit, I think he’s going to do a good job.”‘

‘Buffalo 27, Kansas City 20 – I think the Bills bounce back in front of their home crowd.’

”’It definitely gives you confidence to know that you can do it,” said Spiller, who averaged nearly 90 yards rushing in each of the final three games last season. ”But the quote that I am going to stick by for the whole year is ‘past success doesn’t guarantee future success.’ I can’t just bank on what I did the last six weeks to say I’m capable.”’

‘”I keep trying to keep telling everybody that I believe we’re going to be a good football team,” Gailey said. “But time’s the only thing that’ll tell on that, and winning’s the only healer.”‘

‘Chiefs 24, Bills 20.’

‘For the third straight day, running back Fred Jackson expectedly sat out due to a knee injury suffered against the New York Jets. His prognosis as of Monday detailed that the runner would be out of action for at least three weeks, so Jackson has been labeled out for Sunday’s contest against the Kansas City Chiefs.’

‘I am only picking Buffalo because they are at home. The Bills gave the trifecta of a bad effort at the Jets (offense, defense and special teams) It will improve Sunday….I think.’

‘The Buffalo Bills would probably like to pick up where they left off at the start of last year. The team racked up 30 plus points in an exciting home opener that had many believing the Bills were a contender. Instead, the team is looking to avenge last week’s humiliating loss to the Jets.’

‘Buffalo failed to protect the football in Week 1 and it cost them as the Jets scored 24 points off the Bills four turnovers in their loss at New York. Giving the ball up is not an option in what is expected to be a nip and tuck game.’

‘Cuomo could kiss his political aspirations goodbye if he spent $220 million to improve an unoccupied stadium. It would be New York’s version of the Alaskan bridge to nowhere.’

‘"I feel good about it," Fitzpatrick said. "The one thing we like about Donald is he is so versatile, in terms of being able to play inside and outside. We worked him a lot this offseason inside. He is going to do a lot of the same on the outside, but now we have the flexibility to put him where we want him, which is nice."’
