'“We put a lot of pressure on him to make the right calls and put us in the right protection and right schemes. I think, as a whole, we have to do a better job of that and of knowing ourselves, instead of letting him tell us what to do … just be a student of the game. We do have a lot of veterans on offense, so we should be fine.”'

'"I just play with a lot of fire, passion," Worthy said. "I just try to play with good energy and speed. The D-line coaches that I've had in the past have always said, 'If you run to the football, and you’re explosive, then good things happen.''

'"I really didn’t pay attention to hockey," he admitted, "and I just turned it on one time and I was watching like, 'Dang, that boy on fire. He really fire."'

'The Bills could dress eight offensive linemen: Offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn said Thursday that Jordan Mills, Seantrel Henderson and Cyrus Kouandjio could all see time at right tackle. With the Bills also expected to dress both Groy and Patrick Lewis for the first game without center Eric Wood, that would make eight offensive linemen, which is a lot.'

'Maybe Gilmore has already concluded there is little chance he will be with the Bills when his contract expires after the season. He likely realizes they won't meet his money demands. And Gilmore and his agent certainly will make their feelings clear that he does not want a one-year franchise tag, should the Bills somehow decide it's a good idea to keep him as part of a defense that puts the highest premium on cornerbacks.'

'The Bills haven’t had a seven-game stretch in which they won six times since late in 2004 when they won six straight, then dropped the season finale at home to Pittsburgh when a seventh straight victory would have sent them to the playoffs. Since then, the best seven-game stretch they’ve had is 5-2, achieved in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2011.'

'"You know, we completed some passes," Lynn said. "We had Robert Woods back. He was probably about 90 percent. That helped. You know he caught a few balls for us, made some plays. But like I've said, I evaluate Tyrod every single week on where the ball's going and he threw it to the right places and the guys made plays, and to me, that was the difference."'

'"He's like today's Michael Vick," Dunlap told James Rapien of ESPN 1530. "He's an elusive quarterback. The odds are typically in his favor when he goes against a normal defensive end, but he's got us."'

'“I don’t want to cat myself, but I’m feeling pretty good about the big man,” Buffalo head coach Rex Ryan said in regard to starting defensive tackle Marcell Dareus.'

'Snow, and maybe lots of it, could fall across WNY on Sunday and into Monday.'

'Adolphus Washington is happily living in the machine now, fulfilling a lifelong dream as a third-round draft pick of the Buffalo Bills.'

'Though listing Dareus as questionable on Friday, coach Rex Ryan said he's "feeling pretty good about the big man" playing at Cincinnati on Sunday. Dareus opened the season serving a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy and then hurt his left hamstring during his first week of practice.'

'"Our focus has to be on Cincinnati and that's it," Ryan said. "You can't worry about getting to 10 wins. Shoot, we have to worry about getting five wins, so I think that's where we have to look at it. We haven't earned the right to think about anything further than that."'

'“We’re going to try to play some guys,” Ryan said, indicating all could see time on the field Sunday regardless of who starts. “Seymour is going to play some at nickel and so is Robey-Coleman. Are the corners going to play? Yeah. We’re going to play a lot of guys because we have good players. And competition makes everybody better, and quite honestly we feel good. This week, I love the preparation that we’ve had.”'
