"We’re just frustrated, you know, but it’s a long season," Chandler said. "We’re four games into the season and I think everybody feels like we’re 0-4 after this game, but we’re 2-2. We’ve got 12 games left and we’ve got one game next week against the 49ers. We need to learn what we can from this and move on and get ready for the 49ers."

"It may be two (weeks) minimum on both of them, but we’re not going to rule out the second game today," said Gailey Monday. "I’ve not been very good about doing that lately, so we’re going to say it’s probably two but I don’t know about that."

Inside The Bills | Can’t let Pats loss linger
"It’s not (going to linger) because I’m not going to let that happen," said Gailey. "Getting back to the mental toughness part (of our team), that can’t happen. Of course, I won’t see them from now until Wednesday, they’ll be around a little bit (Tuesday), but that’s my responsibility is to not let that happen. You can’t let one loss cost you two."

"I’m fine with it," said Gailey of his team’s defensive game plan. "I’ve got complete confidence in Dave and what they’re trying to do and where we’ve got our people situated – and that’s the majority of it, where do you have your people situated? We’ve got our people in the right spots. We’re sound, we’ve just got to continue to get better. We’ve got to be able to stop the run, which we did for two games and we didn’t for two games. I think we’re capable of doing that."

Inside The Bills | Chan: We need to get mentally stronger
"Well if I knew that answer I’d have already done it," he said. "You keep trying to see where your team is and evaluate where your team is and try to push the right buttons to get them to understand what it takes to get there. I’ve been fortunate to have been around a number of really good football teams and everyone of them is different. There wasn’t a same personality. There wasn’t a same group of guys that led every time. It was different personalities that led. So you keep trying to find that right picture for your football team to be strong."
Inside The Bills | Chan: No answer for Welker
"To be honest with you I don’t believe we’ve had a guy in the three years I’ve been here that can cover that guy one-on-one for an entire ball game," said Gailey. "He can get open. That’s why he made the Pro Bowl so many years."

It is something we will see as the week goes on how they do and how the other guys are doing. It is just something we will have to deal with."

"But I'm sure they had the same reaction when Bolden was running wild. "This sure happens to the Bills a lot."

WGR 550 - Bills' Gailey Squarely Behind Wannstedt
Chris Kelsay didn’t play as much because it was nickel defense throughout. Why didn’t the Bills get out of it? Kelsay said, "That’s a good question. Dave addressed it a little bit this afternoon in our meeting. He talked about last night laying there wondering if we should’ve been in our base defense or not. Really, it comes down to whether or not you think matchup wise if a guy is good enough to play in certain situations or if in the passing game if you’re better apt to cover guys."

"It’s gut-check time for the Buffalo Bills. The Bills were embarrassed by the 52-28 loss to New England, and their upcoming schedule is not easy. They play on the road in four of the next five games, and all four road games are against teams with winning records. It starts next week when Buffalo travels to the West Coast to face the San Francisco 49ers (3-1)."
