‘Gailey deserves a pass – for now – because that was his first game as Buffalo’s head coach. This is Edwards’ fourth season as the Bills’ quarterback and he has regressed instead of showing improvement.’

‘”I really started looking at myself and the things that I had been doing,” said Kelly, who was by this time also the father of his and Jill’s second daughter, Camryn. “I was just living the life that I wanted and not really what God intended for me. When my wife had nowhere to turn, God was right there every step of the way. It took me a little longer than it took her to understand this, but in April 2007, I became a Christian, too.”‘

‘”As good as it might feel, it’s never as good as it seems and it’s never as bad as it seems,” said Ellis. “Once you break down the film and correct little things like giving away your alignments and stuff like that… there’s still plenty of stuff to correct but as far as execution I think everything kind of matched up with what we needed to do.”‘

‘"We know that we’re a much better football team than how we played yesterday," wide receiver Lee Evans said on Monday. "There were a lot of plays to be made, we just have to make our share. We have high expectations for ourselves. We expected to play well and we didn’t, but we’ll be better in the future."’

‘It’s hard to accept Buffalo’s unwillingness or inability to trade Lynch last offseason. It was a chance to parlay a two-time 1,000-yard rusher into a tight end, tackle or wide receiver. But then, this new regime thinks quarterback Trent Edwards can be salvaged, too.’

‘Both are expected to be top-five picks in the 2011 NFL draft, assuming red-shirt sophomore Luck decides to turn pro. I watched them both play Saturday and was more impressed by Luck and believe he could start sooner than Locker for the Buffalo Bills.’

‘”Give us a couple of days to work on the game plan and see how that all pans out,” Gailey said. “It depends on the packages Green Bay wants to throw at us. That will have a lot to do with it. The personnel groupings that they bring might depend on who we play.”‘

‘The breakdown for the Bills occurred on the left side. Outside linebacker Cameron Wake started rushing toward left tackle Demetrius Bell and then stunted to the inside. Bell still tried to engage Wake, but that left Dansby unblocked on the outside.’

‘It’s understandable that Evans isn’t a big Edwards advocate. His production has suffered since Edwards arrived in Buffalo.’

‘So many questions, so little time. Bills fans have seen this movie before.’

‘”I know where we want to go, and we’ve got a plan to get there,” he said. “I told the players, ‘I don’t know if it’s going to take two games, five games, eight games. I don’t know how many it’s going to take, but we’re going to get there.'”‘

‘Providing the update after practice Monday, coach Chan Gailey didn’t disclose any details of the injury, except to say tests revealed it wasn’t as severe as first feared. There’s a possibility Posluszny might not be back until Oct. 24, when Buffalo returns from its bye week to play at Baltimore.’
