‘While the Colts quarterback remains pretty consistent when under duress in terms of delivering the football and making plays, he likes to escape from the pocket and make plays on the move in the passing game. Mario Williams and the other ends need to hem Luck in and shut down the escape routes much like the Patriots did last week. It led to passes sailing on Luck, which resulted in interceptions.’

‘Wayne, 34, has 76 catches for 1,003 yards through 10 games. At this rate he would finish with 121 catches for 1,604 yards.’

‘”He’s looking for the big play,” said Bills safety George Wilson. “He keeps his eyes and his vision downfield, even when he’s on the move outside the pocket, when he has to step up into the pocket. He definitely is not looking for the check down.”‘

‘Over the last two seasons, the Bills have had 23 plays on third-and-2. They’re 2 of 4 running. They threw on 19 of them. They’ve converted 7 of 19 times. I’m guessing the opposition was happy they didn’t run.’

‘”I’d be a coach at the high school level. That’s my plan for my life after football. I’d be able to share my experience with kids, and if you know anything about my hometown (Lake Butler, Fla.), you know it’s small and there’s not a lot to look forward to. So just to give them hope is something I want to do.”‘

‘”He has done a great job this year,” Gailey said. “I can’t rank them all; you start trying to rank guys then you leave somebody out, but he is certainly playing as one of the top safeties right now, I would think.”‘

”’Yeah, you’ve got to know what you’re doing and who you are. You’ve got to do what you’re basically told,” McKelvin said. ”It was a misunderstanding. I apologized for it, and I’m going to pay the fine, pay my dues for what I did.”’

‘The list includes fullback Corey McIntyre, cornerback Ron Brooks and defensive tackle Kyle Williams.’

‘The Bills aren’t winners yet but Spiller has come to look like a fabulous player.’

‘Looks like I picked a bad week to watch Tyler Bray from Tennessee.’

‘So all we heard from Gailey and Buddy Nix since the draft is how it’s time for this team to win, nothing less. Here’s the biggest game of the Gailey era so far. A win clinches you nothing, but it makes for another big game next week when Mike Mularkey brings the Jags to town.’

‘(Interim head) coach (Bruce) Arians puts the offense in a great position,” said Luck. “He’s a great play caller, he’s got a great feel for the game. There’s some really neat things, and wide receivers and linemen do a great job-wide receivers running their routes, understanding that it could come to them at any moment, and the line just blocking their butts off.”‘
