Florence family one of service - BuffaloBills.com
"My dad, my sister, all of my uncles, my grandfather and I’ve got cousins that are active," said Florence. "Most of it is just that commitment of being away from your family, time, risk, everything that goes into it. That’s what they sign up for and I don’t think we give those people enough credit with what they deal with each and every day. The mental stress that they have to deal with, it’s a tough situation because they’re on edge all the time and have to be on alert. There are things that they can’t really talk about when they come back and there are things that they see that they try to forget, but it’s still there."
Aaron Maybin: Rex Ryan saw something that Bills’ coaches didn’t | ProFootballTalk
"But Maybin has three sacks so far this season with the Jets, and he says the difference between his old team and his new team is simple: His old coaches never gave him a chance to show what he could do, and his new coaches are making the most of his talents."

Bills-Jets makes the cut.
Inside The Bills | Simms: The Bills are real
"Going to Buffalo is tough. The Buffalo Bills are real. I believe. They’re 5-2 and the way they are doing it is impressive. Ryan Fitzpatrick is for real. Fred Jackson is a star. I’ve gone up there in years past and even when they weren’t a good team, in that stadium and with that crowd, they’re always tough. It’s going to be a tough test for the Jets."
Inside The Bills | Fred gets midseason Off. MVP
"Schefter has Fred Jackson as his runner-up for league MVP behind Aaron Rodgers and he’s got Jackson as his Offensive MVP. Here’s what Schefter had to say about Jackson with an interesting quote from Drayton Florence. Schefter also had Bills head coach Chan Gailey as his co-runner-up for NFL Coach of the Year with Cincinnati’s Marvin Lewis behind 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh."

After Further Review: These Steelers know how to man up - CBSSports.com Football
"I have been praising Bills safety George Wilson all season. He always shows up. Watching him live against the Redskins, I appreciate him even more. He is a good football player. He has a nose for the ball. A former receiver, he also tackles better than you would think for a guy who made a position move. If Wilson isn't in the Pro Bowl this year, it might be a crime." Also a nice spotlight on Stevie Johnson.
2011 NFL Midseason Report includes awards, story of year - Don Banks

Chris Kelsay says it's fun to be a Buffalo Bill | Democrat and Chronicle
"Ever since that epic victory over New England, I've noticed a vibe that hasn't pulsated on One Bills Drive since at least 2004, when Mike Mularkey's first team won six in a row in the second half before flying into the side of a mountain named the Pittsburgh Steelers in the season finale and blowing a chance to qualify for the NFL playoffs."
Buffalo Bills' resurgence a regional pick-me-up | Democrat and Chronicle

Fred Jackson of Bills presents challenge for Jets - NYPOST.com
"He’s one of their best players, so highlight your best player,’’ said Jets linebacker Bart Scott. "He’s the key to their offense. He’s the motor that makes everything run. If you slow him down, you slow the offense down.’’
Stopping Fred Jackson won't be easy for Jets - Newsday
"He's an unbelievable athlete and incredibly strong," Jets linebacker and former teammate Aaron Maybin said. "He's also a determined guy. You look at his story and where he's come and how much he's been able to accomplish, he's a fighter. He's someone as a defense you have to make sure you always know where he is on the football field. He's a major weapon for them."
Mark Sanchez faces a challenge in Buffalo's clever, calculating coverage | NJ.com
"Buffalo has been labeled a high-risk, high-reward defense because of the route-jumping style and press coverages in which so many of their interceptions have come. But one thing was readily apparent to the four quarterbacks watching film throughout the week — the level of risk involved (the Bills have given up just five passing plays of 40 or more yards) is well calculated and well executed."
Jets turn focus to stopping Bills' Jackson - NorthJersey.com
"Our priority up front is to stop the run," defensive coordinator Mike Pettine said. "It’s weird to say — we’ll get in situations against Buffalo and we’re going to dare a spread offense to throw. But I think there are going to be some plays where you might have to do that."
Maybin making his mark, but with Jets not Bills - Yahoo! Sports
"Honestly, it’d be hard to sit here and wonder why, and that’s not really even a concern for me anymore," Maybin said. "I stopped worrying about what went wrong in Buffalo a long time ago."
NY Jets' Shonn Greene could carry day against Buffalo Bills in Week 9 - NY Daily News
"Given the Jets’ recent history against the Bills, Greene figures to play a prominent role Sunday in Buffalo. The Jets averaged 279 rushing yards against the Bills in the four games since Ryan took over, a stat made more impressive by the 3-1 record and two victories on the road."
