"My only reaction would be, I don't really want to comment at all," Fitzpatrick said from his home in Arizona. "I don't think injuries had any effect on the way I played this year, at any point. I don't want to get into it. It didn't affect my performance at all." In an interview Friday with NBC Sports, Nelson confirmed long-rumored suspicions that Fitzpatrick suffered cracked ribs in the Redskins game in Toronto on a hit by former Bills linebacker London Fletcher in the first half. "A lot of people don't know, but Fitz, during the Washington game, actually cracked a couple of ribs," Nelson said. "So after that, he was playing hurt."

The Buffalo Bills got off to a fast start in 2011, posting a 5-2 record in the first part of the season based in part by the play of Ryan Fitzpatrick.

There are times when you had to wonder if the Buffalo Bills were ever going to be on the right track again, but, for at least the first half of the year, that seemed to be the case.

Going back to the 4-3 defense is a good move for the Buffalo Bills.

Via Down and Distance  |  February 06, 2012
Recently one of my friends  asked me my thoughts on the Buffalo Bills going back to playing a 4-3 defense rather than the 3-4 system they had implemented. For the football lingo impaired, a 4-3 means there are four linemen and three linebackers, as opposed to the 3-4 which has three linemen and four linebackers. Anyway, back to the question, I told him I thought the Bills should...
