‘”Yeah, it’s a step forward,” Gilmore said after practice. “I’m just trying to take it day-by-day and get a little bit of conditioning in there. Just try to stay in football mode so that when I’m ready to come back, I’ll be ready.”‘

‘”Well Sunday, I think I kind of let it get to me too much because I wanted to make plays for my team,” Spiller said regarding the attention he’s receiving from opposing defenses. I knew going into the game what their focus was going to be, and I think it’s going to be like that for the rest of the year.”‘

‘”It feels better. I’m just trying to listen to the trainers, listen to whatever they tell me to do,” said Gilmore. “Trying to get a little bit of conditioning in and go from there.”‘

‘Like I said before in the game, early on in that game we overcame a lot more adversity than probably what people think with the early turnover and getting behind 10-0 and being able to make a play and get back in the game. Obviously you sit here as a coach and that’s one thing you’re proud of. You’re not proud that you put yourself in that situation, but that happened. I don’t think from the standpoint of the players, there was a resiliency about them; I did not see that creep in.’

‘Wednesday’s after a L are pretty tough. It kind of starts off a little slow, but Coach brought that to our attention fast. We’ve just got to work through it and that’s pretty much what we’re doing right now.’

‘As a quarterback you want to just be remembered as a winner. I know they haven’t had tremendous seasons but I think Cam’s had an outstanding career thus far. He did great as a rookie and had a good season last year. Whatever your affect is: RG III is a guy who can run down the field, Andrew Luck all those kind of guys, they can still make plays with their feet, so I don’t think it’s necessarily that me, Cam, RG III, Russell Wilson, all the guys that can run. There are a lot of other quarterbacks that can make plays with their feet.’

‘Buffalo and Carolina will meet for the sixth time in the regular season this week. The Bills hold a 4-1 advantage in the series against the Panthers. Sunday’s game will mark the fourth time Carolina will have traveled to Buffalo in series history. The Bills defeated the Panthers in each of their first two trips to Western New York (1995 and 2005).’
