PFT Live: Spiller finally exceeding expectations? | ProFootballTalk
"Fantasy stud C.J. Spiller of the Buffalo Bills joins Mike Florio on PFT Live and discusses how he is averaging over 10 yards per carry so far this season, why he has exploded during his third year in the league, if the offensive line can sustain its success now that the unit is healthy, how he prepares himself for a big game, and what his future holds when RB Fred Jackson returns from a knee injury."

"Without a doubt was the hardest part of this yet. You get put on IR and they put you in the press box, so you're not even on the field," he said. "You can't feel the emotion, you can't celebrate with your teammates. It's devastating, it really is, because you put so much work in. Coming into the season you do so much and then to only get three quarters of play, and now I've got to sit there and watch."

Inside The Bills | Don’t forget about Fred
"We’ve got plenty of weapons," Eric Wood told Buffalobills.com. "And the good thing, is we’re going to get Fred back. I don’t know when, but that will be valuable. People get dinged up in this league, and we’re going to need him. If we’re going to make a run down the stretch, we need a guy like Fred on our team."

Bills could see expanded slate in Toronto | ProFootballTalk
"Bills fans won’t like it, but it’s a far better outcome than the Bills moving away entirely. And that’s the ongoing value of regionalizing the team. After team founder Ralph Wilson passes (he’ll be 94 next month), the franchise will be sold. And the new owner will need to be able to crunch the numbers in a way that makes staying put make sense."

"The biggest thing is not being on the cereal box, it’s the opportunity and the chance to give back to those who need help," Williams said at the press conference, according to the Associated Press.

Chris Kelsay builds on each week and takes it with him, "Really I think the best thing that happened to us maybe was the first game against New York. It definitely didn’t turn out the way we’d foreseen it and expected it to turn out, but we worked hard all week, prepared hard and we transferred it to the field on Sunday and if we can do that and continue to do that, have a sense of urgency all week, then there’s good things in store for this team."

WGR 550 - SCHOPP: Helpless
"Spare me the Toronto defense, that corporate money and regionalism are necessary to the Bills' financial welfare. They are not. What's not accounted for anyway in these analyses is the blood they've drawn from the fans here over the years. How much is it worth to sell your soul?"

"Spiller is a stud and it's been that way since the end of last season. He just needed playing time. The injury to Fred Jackson will actually help Buffalo in the short term, because Spiller is in his prime and ready to light it up. When Jackson comes back, he should be Spiller's backup for the rest of the season."

Ralph Wilson Stadium Reviews, Buffalo Bills | Stadium Journey
"While lacking the opulence and the bells and whistles of the 21st century NFL venue, Ralph Wilson Stadium remains extremely functional. What makes a day here special and extraordinary is the colorful tailgate scene, one of the absolute best in the NFL, and the energy and passion of the fans, again, ranking amongst the best in the league."

"Even though the Browns have struggled against the run, they were especially vulnerable to the pass in Week 2 at Cincinnati, so Fitzpatrick might be asked to do more than manage the game. Opposing defenses must account for receiver Stevie Johnson (six receptions, 111 yards, two touchdowns)."

ReFo: Chiefs @ Bills, Week 2 | ProFootballFocus.com
"I may have given it away earlier, but even people who didn’t watch the game probably know that Bills DT Kyle Williams was once again the best player on the field. Two sacks, two hurries, and a controlled performance against the run gives him this game ball by some margin."

Bills must ride with Spiller - Wellsville Daily Reporter
"Whether Ryan Fitzpatrick is handing Spiller the ball or throwing it to him on screens, the ball should be in his hands a lot and let him use his world-class speed. The Bills’ offensive plan since falling behind 21-0 to the Jets in the season opener has been to let Spiller run wild to open up passing lanes."
