ball buffalo dominate focal high job matter minutes point spend strong
We feel we are the focal point, the strong point of the Buffalo Bills, ... So, we take it upon ourselves. We have very high expectations. We want to dominate and get the job done, no matter how many minutes we have to spend on the field, no matter where the ball is when we go out there.
great job line offensive staying
Their offensive line did a great job of just staying with it.
again anybody chances coming home knowing league man playing special
I like our chances better than anybody in the league knowing that you're coming out at home again playing with the 12th man in the stadium. Special teams, defensively, offensively, we feel like we have a lot of things to prove.

Everybody is even and we feel good about what we have and now we need to take advantage of it.

It was like a dream coming true, like I was coming into the league all over again, ... It was almost like hearing the commissioner call your name again on that stage. That's the way I felt. Just to see it, man, I don't know. It was almost like, and I know I shouldn't say this because it sounds so harsh, but it was like I was a slave getting his slave papers.

I've reminded J.P. in casual conversations that he doesn't have to do it all, ... I told him, 'Hey, a lot of quarterbacks would love to have the situation you have, so don't put too much pressure on yourself. Rely on us and just go out there and do what you have to do.'
business care eager everybody felt needed order ourselves past prove season step unfinished
The way this past season ended, we felt there was a lot of unfinished business we needed to take care of and it started with this first game. We were very eager to just go out and show everybody that there was not going to be a drop-off and to prove to ourselves that in order to get to where we want to go this is the first step that needed to be taken.
defense definitely feeling foot great offense order prepared sorry
Once you have an offense down like that, in order to be a great defense (you) don't let up, don't take the foot off the pedal. We're definitely not feeling sorry for anybody. You should have prepared better.
goal tasted win
My goal is to win it all, ... I haven't even tasted the playoffs, and I'm very hungry.
good last none point
Point blank, we've got to get out to a good start. None of us want to go through what we did last year. It was painful.
fear good people
We want to become great, ... We want to become one of those units that smothers offenses. We want to be so good people fear us.
almost certain felt
It was bittersweet, to tell you the truth, ... I just felt bad. I don't know why. It's almost like I was embarrassed to a certain degree.
