‘Jamon Meredith, who started the past three games at that spot, is questionable with a sprained knee. It’s expected that Kirk Chambers will start at right tackle.’

‘”I think we’re rested, we’re relaxed, and nobody says that you can’t win them all,” defensive end Chris Kelsay said. “That’s our approach and it has to be our approach.”‘

‘ Is Trent Edwards ready to start playing for his future in Buffalo? He is coming off his second concussion in two years, and he really needs to make a statement once and for all that he is Buffalo’s QB of the future.’

‘”The first three games,” Fisher maintained, “a play here or a play there and the outcome’s different. Then we had the three in the middle that (weren’t) good, especially the New England thing was hard to endure. But the bye week came at a good time. We corrected some things. We got some rest. We worked on some things (and) fortunately, we’ve won a couple of games now. But you know, it’s a one-week-at-a-time affair in the National Football League, so our focus is on (Buffalo).”‘

‘Scott did not travel with the team Saturday and will miss the game due to undisclosed personal reasons. His absence leaves the Bills offensive line precariously thin at offensive tackle. Buffalo enters the game with just two healthy tackles on the roster, counting starting left tackle Demetrius Bell.’

‘The Bills announced that Scott will be out for personal reasons when his team confronts the Titans in Nashville, Tenn., on Sunday.’

‘It is hard watching the Bills play each week and the losing just takes it toll after a while. You feel helpless. It’s sad to see a once proud franchise as the Bills be reduced to Detroit Lions level.’

‘After allowing huge rushing performances in the past few weeks, the Buffalo Bills face a very tall test at stopping the NFL’s leading rusher. If they allow some big runs to the speedy Chris Johnson and get behind early, it’s going to be a very long day for Bills fans.’

‘Because of those big runs Johnson is averaging a whopping 6.7 yards per carry, the highest average for an NFL leader through nine weeks since 1970, according to the league. The last player to win a rushing title while averaging more than 6 yards per carry was Barry Sanders, who had a 6.1 average during his 2,053-yard season in 1997.’

‘”With a lot of prayer and just rest and treatment I knew I would be ready,” Owens said after practice. “I’ve been in this situation. I know my body better than anybody or any doctor, for that matter. Earlier in the week it was painful. I’m not sure what triggered it, but I did everything today. Ran routes full speed, no pain, no nothing, so I’m good.”‘

‘For the record, Wiley said the Bills would have beaten the Titans in that playoff game had Flutie started, because the Titans wouldn’t have been close enough to win with a miracle play.’

‘Sargeant personally bought $3,000 worth of turkeys that were then made available through vouchers to families in need of help during the holidays. “One of my teammates on the Bills told me he does this in his hometown,” Sargeant explained. “Demetrius Bell, our starting left tackle, gave me a little background in how to do it. So I called Coach Cross last Thursday and we threw it all together in three days.”‘
