Bills INT total among NFL’s best
After picking off Tim Tebow four times Saturday the Bills have put themselves in position to lead the AFC in interceptions in 2011. Buffalo now has 20 interceptions on the season, which is tied for fourth-best in the NFL with Detroit. It’s also the highest total in the AFC. Kansas City and New England are Buffalo’s [...]
Bills 3rd down ‘D’ improving
The Bills don’t have the wins, and in many cases a low points allowed average to show for it, but their third down defense has been noticeably improved of late. On Saturday Buffalo’s defense had their best third down defense of the season, holding Denver to just 2-of-13 conversions (15%) almost 25 percent better than [...]
Rayner on the misses
Dave Rayner was able to bounce back from his two early missed field goals to hit four short ones all from inside 30 yards in Saturday’s 40-14 win over Denver. Rayner however, intends to get to the bottom of what went wrong on his two wide left efforts from 45 and 31 yards. “I don’t [...]
Brown to remain at center

Don’t count on up tempo offense
Buffalo has had some success when they’ve gone to their hurry-up offense, but according to head coach Chan Gailey it’s an oversimplification to say that the Bills offense should go hurry up or no huddle the majority of the time. “There probably is some merit to that if you get completions,” said Gailey of speeding [...]
2 spies for Tebow?
We’ve seen the running quarterbacks in this league mandate a spy defender with the great potential of them taking off for big time yardage. But with Denver’s Tim Tebow, Bills head coach Chan Gailey says the traditional spy doesn’t apply. “I think there’s always a form of a spy,” said Gailey in reference to Tebow. ”It’s [...]

McGahee likes facing Buffalo
Willis McGahee wasn’t a big fan of Buffalo as a city and often flew home on Monday nights after meetings to spend his off day in his native Miami before flying back for the work week. As a result he alienated himself from the fan base and though he never said it publicly made it [...]
