Phillips impressed by rookies

‘Coach Wade Phillips, normally reserved in his responses, was decidedly enthusiastic afterward. "Obviously, we’ve got a lot of things to work on, but I saw a lot of good things out there," he said. "We had a lot of young players who made some plays … all the way down to the end of the ballgame. We had some individuals who played real well for us," Phillips continued, "We have some exciting young players and I think that points toward our future. Our draft choices made some big plays for us."

Bills beat Bengals 21-20

Buffalo Bills insider, Mike Doser, recaps the Bills’ victory over the Bengals last night in Orchard Park.

Bengals find life in running game

‘The Bengals didn’t tear it up on the ground in their exhibition opener, running 40 times for 134 yards and two touchdowns. But the four guys angling to replace the malcontented Dillon – who seems more adamant than ever to sit out through the 11th game of the regular season – put on a pretty good audition against one of the best defenses in the AFC.’

No quarterback controversy in Bills’ camp

‘Johnson is the starter now. Flutie, when he returns from a severe groin injury a month into the season – as Dennis Miller would say, aren’t groin injuries always severe? – will be on the bench. He will be ready to come in, as good a change-of-pace artist as there is in the NFL. He will get another chance to do his thing, as backup NFL quarterbacks always seem to do. He may even take the Bills back to the playoffs, and spark another controversy for another day. Until Flutie is healthy again, the pressure on Johnson is immeasurably less.’

Bills get positive efforts from QB’s

‘And while there were several less memorable sequences for the Bills quarterbacks, there doesn’t appear to be any need for injured quarterback Doug Flutie, who started the first 15 games of the 1999 season for the Bills, to hurry his return.’

Flowers preserves victory

‘When it was over, Buffalo was on the positive side of a 21-20 score as Erik Flowers preserved the win by blocking Doug Pelfrey’s 29-yard field goal on the final play of the game, but that, of course, really didn’t matter. This was a game Bills coach Wade Phillips said he was going to use for individual player evaluations, and he’ll have plenty to evaluate in film sessions over the next two days.’

Receiver Black impresses with his speed

‘When the Bills selected Tennessee State wide receiver Avion Black in the fourth round of last April’s NFL draft, the scouts raved about his sprinter’s speed. They weren’t exaggerating. Black turned a five-yard catch into an electrifying 34-yard touchdown play at the end of the first half, giving the Bills a 14-10 lead over the Cincinnati Bengals in last night’s preseason opener at Ralph Wilson Stadium.’

Defense needs turnovers to get respect

‘The defense may have been ranked first in yards allowed last season, but it ranked almost at the bottom in takeaways with 21. Nothing last night indicated the Bills have suddenly become pirate-like.’

Bills 21, Bengals 20

‘"We put ’em every which way but loose, but they won on the scoreboard," coach Bruce Coslet said. "We’ll take the positives out of, and, boy, we’ve got to learn from some of the boo-boos we made."’

Bills 21, Bengals 20

‘Rookie linebacker Corey Moore blocked Doug Pelfrey’s 29-yard field goal attempt with no time on the clock, and the Buffalo Bills hung on for a 21-20 victory in both teams’ preseason opener.’

Bills 21, Bengals 20

‘Rookie defensive end Erik Flowers made a favorable first impression on his new teammates. Flowers blocked a potential game-winning 29-yard field goal by Doug Pelfrey as time expired, giving the Buffalo Bills a 21-20 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in the exhibition opener for both teams.’

‘A backup center starting for the Bengals. A slimmed-down Ted Washington tag-teaming with Pat Williams. Who wins that battle?’
