‘”I don’t know what to say about it,” Chandler said in a quiet Bills locker room dripping with disappointment. “We’ve got to be better.”‘

‘So it figured to come down to which team could better take advantage of those precious opportunities to score, which the Bills didn’t do often enough. And which team would avoid the killer turnover. The Bills didn’t do that, either.’

‘The absence of C.J. Spiller and the limitations of a still-healing Fred Jackson caught up with the Bills on Sunday. They simply couldn’t force the Chiefs to defend the whole field.’

‘It was a game the Bills (5-4) let get away, while squandering an opportunity to gain an edge in a jumbled AFC playoff picture.’

‘”I take this … to heart,” said McKelvin, expressing his frustrations during a profanity-laced postgame interview. “I fumbled the ball. It hurt us. But we still had a chance to come back and win the game. (Stuff) happens in the game. But you’ve still got to overcome it.”‘

‘With Watkins playing, receiver Mike Williams is inactive for the second time in four games.’

‘Kyle Orton was 29-of-48 for 259 yards and a touchdown for Buffalo (5-4), which carried a 10-point edge into the fourth and squandered opportunities to put the Chiefs away.’

‘Jackson is active for the first time since being hurt in a game on Oct. 19 against Minnesota. He practiced this week for the first time since suffering the groin injury, which forced him to miss only one game because of Buffalo’s bye last week.’

‘Kansas City’s defense stopped the Bills on downs at the 15 with 2:31 remaining following a 23-yard McKelvin punt return that gave the Bills a drive start at the Chiefs’ 25.’

‘QB Kyle Orton can’t bring the Bills back every time.’

‘Simply put, the Bills needed to put the Chiefs down in a game they controlled for most of the afternoon. They failed to do so and now more than likely will have to scramble to make up ground if they’re going to keep their playoff hopes alive.’

‘Instead we are again left angry, frustrated and depressed by a game that got away. Again!’

‘Marrone teams are prone to dumb mistakes and dumb penalties and I just don’t see that changing.’

‘Regardless of how well the Bills offense and defense played against the Kansas City Chiefs in this game, when it came down to it and a tough decision had to be made, the Bills and head coach Doug Marrone turtled.’
