AP: Bills RB Spiller ready for spotlight - again - BuffaloBills.com
``It definitely gives you confidence to know that you can do it,'' said Spiller, who averaged nearly 90 yards rushing in each of the final three games last season. ``But the quote that I am going to stick by for the whole year is `past success doesn't guarantee future success.' I can't just bank on what I did the last six weeks to say I'm capable.''

Kelso: Bills Secondary Will Bounce Back - BuffaloBills.com
"In breaking down tape of last week’s loss, Kelso noticed that Stephon Gilmore obviously struggled in his first pro game, but believes he will improve now that he better knows how teams will play him.

Inside The Bills | Kyle talks bounce back
"I think this game and the business of it is that you are only as good as your last performance," said Williams. "Good or bad, outside of locker room and as you view it from the outside in it is easy to say ‘Oh, okay they are bad. End of story.’ This week if we play well and we win, it is ‘Oh, maybe it is not as bad as we thought.’ Maybe it is one of those things. I think in here we view it as one of those things. We laid an egg. There is nothing we can do about it. We turned the ball over and we did not get any turnovers—all kinds of things happened in the game that just piled up on us."

Inside The Bills | Nix likes the lines
"The other thing is the defensive line. We’re two deep over there. Against the run, we stopped the run and if you can do that, now we’ve got to tighten up things as Chan said in the secondary where the guy can’t get the ball out on rhythm, and if he does I don’t care how good your defensive line is you won’t get there. Those are encouraging things to me. We’ve got to correct the mistakes and not turn the ball over and if we do that we’ll be a good football team."

"It’s tough. It really is. I’m not going to sugarcoat that. Once the season starts it’s really hard for a guy," said Nix in his weekly appearance on WGR Sportsradio 550. "Now he’s in every meeting so he’ll be prepared for that mentally. He’s a smart guy, but as far as reps in practice he doesn’t get many."
