Jim Kelly rooting for Tim Tebow to wreck Jets - The Buffalo News
"No. 1, it wouldn't make me feel very good, the job security a little shaky," Kelly said. "But as a Buffalo Bills fan now, I hope there's so much turmoil during training camp. I hope Tebow plays great, he pushes Sanchez and all of a sudden the locker room's coming apart because you've got to remember they open with the Buffalo Bills first game of the season."

Spielman: Postseason possible for Bills - BuffaloBills.com
"I think what the Bills have done in the free agent market is comparable to what the Bills did in a pair of offseasons in ’95 and ’96," said Spielman. "The Bills brought in Mario Williams, well the year before I came to the Bills they brought in Bryce Paup. When you have Bryce Paup on one side and Bruce Smith on the other side that puts a lot of pressure on an offense. And both of those guys fed off each other."

Inside The Bills | Spielman’s choice easier than Mario’s
"Money obviously was a factor, let’s not kid ourselves," said Spielman. "But it has to be a fit too or you’ll be miserable.

"Every year we expect to win and make the playoffs and make a run, but we don’t just want to make the playoffs, we’re trying to get to the Super Bowl," said Spiller. "Why get to the playoffs if you’re not trying to win the Super Bowl? That’s the ultimate and that’s what we talk about is being champions. If you’re not trying to be a champion as we say, ‘You’re in the wrong business.’"

Inside The Bills | Faith in Fitz
"Without a doubt. He’s a great quarterback, very smart," said Spiller. "We just have to give him time to throw the football and he can pick defenses apart. Of course he’s not a big name like Tom Brady or Peyton Manning, but I’ll play for that guy every Sunday because I know he’s going to lay it on the line. I know when me or Fred are making a cutback run and Fitz is out there trying to make a cut block on a D-lineman or a cornerback, when your starting quarterback is going out and doing stuff like that you have to go to battle for him."

"With Chris Spielman telling Buffalobills.com he sees some similarities with respect to the 2012 Bills and the team he signed up to join in free agency back in 1996 we thought we’d take a look at where that 10-6 team in ’96 finished up and what kind of season the 2012 Bills are coming off of a season ago to see if we can gauge just how similar they might be."

"My accuracy this offseason is higher than it’s been in my whole NFL career," Fitzpatrick told Buffalobills.com. (David Lee) charts everything. He charts when we’re throwing one-on-one, team and even on air. He’s making sure that I’m getting the most out of everything. You see it in the numbers now and hopefully it translates to one the field as well."
