‘Because the Bills don’t have a killer instinct. More specifically, they have a coach who doesn’t have the will or the way to seal the deal. A coach who is easily among the worst game-day managers in their history. One who should give up the play calling role if he wants to keep his job.’

‘Giving Spiller eight touches the entire game, a close game mind you, is a fireable offense. This insanity has to end. Maybe it will now that Fred Jackson sustained yet another injury. Oh wait, no, now we’ll probably get a steady diet of the immortal Tashard Choice. My head is swollen from banging it against the wall.’

‘How is it possible that the back who leads the NFL in yards per rush could carry just seven times? Well, it happened.’

‘Chan Gailey needs to either give up the play calling or give up the head coaching title because he’s not good at doing both.’

‘Gailey’s inability to pull the trigger on field goals between 50-55 yards this season has done more harm than good. The most glaring instances came in an overtime win against the Arizona Cardinals and against the Indianapolis Colts Week 12. Both games were on the road and both games were inside.’

‘”Winning teams make plays in the fourth quarter to win ball games,” said Gailey. “We are not doing that right now. That is what I am supposed to be getting them to do.”‘

‘For the game, the 6-foot-4, 303-pound rookie from Texas played as solid as you could ask, especially since the 23-year-old was making his first NFL start.’

‘The Bills defence that was a joke in October was getting the last laugh until game’s end. It out-defensed the Rams for most of the game on an increasingly dark, wet, windy day.’

‘Do the math. That means Buffalo is 1-5 when Spiller doesn’t touch the ball at least 15 times.’

‘I don’t care about what the defensive coordinator did or what the special teams coach did. This is all about Chan. The bottom line: He isn’t fit to coach this team. Period. His tenure with the Bills should end after the season.’

‘The Bills (5-8) all but mathematically dropped out of playoff contention by blowing a lead in the final minute of the fourth quarter for the second time this season. They squandered a 34-28 lead in a 35-34 loss to Tennessee on Oct. 21.’

‘Coach Chan Gailey said he’s hasn’t yet talked to trainers, but described the injury as not looking good following a 15-12 defeat to the Rams.’

‘Bills’ top receiver Stevie Johnson is active after being limited in practice on Thursday and Friday because of a hamstring injury. Receiver Donald Jones returned after missing one game because of a calf injury.’

‘Ryan Fitzpatrick connected on 25-of-32 passes for 247 yards, one touchdown and an interception for the Bills (5-8), who have lost two of three.’
