‘During his weekly segment on WGR, Brandon said “there is nothing imminent at all” but they are having very productive talks. Brandon added they are making progress but declined to give any timetable for an agreement.’

Williams has ”something to prove”
‘”I have something extra to prove in general,” said Williams. “Definitely with everything going on, it has not been the way I really wanted it. Going out, making an impact and just being better to help the team win. It is just a coincidence it is this week after the bye week… Just happened to be against this team.”‘
No Excuses For Mario and Bills
‘It’s easy to put a huge share of the blame for this season’s under achievement on Mario Williams, but he has plenty of company to share the responsibility. I like the fact that Chris Kelsay called out the entire team (including himself) and that nearly every player nodded their head in agreement with Kelsay’s right to express that opinion. Now let’s see if that was just lip service or if they actually believe they can play with some urgency. We’ve heard of litany of explanations for the abysmal failure of the defense, led in large part by well deserved criticism of Dave Wannstedt’s schemes, but at some point the game is just about tackling the man with the ball. The man with the ball on Sunday will be Arian Foster, who should be as excited as a 6 year old on Halloween to play against the Bills run defense.’
Mario Williams: ”I have something extra to prove”

Going out, making an impact and just being better to help the team win. It is just a coincidence it is this week after the bye week. Everybody has time off to kind of regroup and look at things. Just happened to be against this team.’
Ryan Fitzpatrick: ”Texans are in the top 5 for a reason”
‘A lot of times, if a defensive linemen bats it down, he bats it down. The one thing is if you are getting a lot of batted balls, you hope that there is not a lot of pressure and they are sitting waiting back trying to trying to jump and bat them. They do a great job of getting pressure on the quarterback so it will be a big challenge for us. Not only up front, but the guys on the back end. They have some good players. Jonathan Joseph I played with in Cincinnati for a few years and they have done a good job. They are in the top five for a reason. It will be a good challenge for us.’
Chan Gailey: ”Every week is critical”
‘To me every week is critical. I cannot say that there is one more critical week than another. You are fighting your rear off to get yourself into a position to get yourself into the playoffs. That is what you do every week. So every week is critical.’
