"He’s banged up, but we’ll have to wait and see," said Gailey. "I don’t know if I can give you a good answer right now. He’s hurting and I doubt he would practice early in the week, but we hope to have him late in the week."

"A runaway train is 0-8," he said. "That’s a runaway train and you’re trying to correct it. This is, we’ve done it. It’s not like we haven’t done it. We’ve got to get our guys back, keep everybody together, keep fighting and keep working. It will not be easy because it is bad right now. It is and I understand that and I see that, and I’m responsible for it. So we’ve got to get it going in the right direction. We’re going the wrong direction on that train, but I don’t think it’s a runaway."

"I never had done it before last year, but now I’m really, really comfortable in there," Urbik told Buffalobills.com. "Last year and even this year I’ve had a lot of snaps at center, in practice too. In the Dallas game I got quite a few snaps and felt comfortable and felt pretty good."

"We’re 5-5," he said. "We’re still alive. We’re still in the hunt of this thing. If you look at the film there are some things that we can fix and there are some things that we shouldn’t have done. We’re definitely in the hunt for the Wild Card position so we just have to fight for that at this point and see what happens game by game."

"If you’re not upset about what has happened to us going from 5-2 to 5-5 you better get out of the business and I told the players that," said Gailey. "Pack it up and take your money and go home because if you’re satisfied with being a loser you ought not to play the game."

"In the first half, when we jumped on them, the way the game was going and the way they were playing, they laid down," Bell told the Palm Beach Post. "We were putting a hat to them and flying all over the place. When we don’t make mistakes, we execute, and everybody’s in the right spot, we’re a pretty good defense. We did that, and I feel they laid down."
