Buffalo Bills News and Discussion
[VIDEO] NFL Insider – CNNSI.com analyst Pat Kirwan lists some backup QBs who could rescue their struggling teams (Dallas, Seattle, Buffalo).
Most surprising boost came from Alex Van Pelt in Buffalo. After Rob Johnson get hurt, Van Pelt came in and threw three TDs. One Bills player told me ‘We need Alex out there but I can’t put my finger on it but it is something’.
‘A lot of loyal fans paying $36 a ticket think the results already are clear on the first issue. They have made up their minds. Johnson is not the answer. They might be right. But Tom Donahoe and Gregg Williams aren’t ready to pull the plug on Johnson and can’t afford to pull it yet.’
‘Buffalo Bills linebacker Kenyatta Wright got a little more than he bargained for last week when he spent a day meeting with residents of the Waters of Orchard Park nursing home on Armor Road. The folks were genuinely appreciative that a pro football player would spend his day off visiting with them. At the same time, the senior citizens were anything but shy in voicing their opinions about this year’s Bills and their 0-4 start.’
‘In commenting on his disappointment in the team’s play, Buffalo coach Gregg Williams used a fairly common and relatively mild curse word to describe his state of mind. Still, it created a dilemma for me. I could easily have put in a “bleep”, though to those who aren’t sure what he said, it might seem the actual word was more offensive than the one used. Or, I could have used a synonym, such as “ticked”, which is how the Associated Press handled the issue.’
‘Buffalo Bills’ rookie coach Gregg Williams has a good sense of humor, too, more a dry-martini, acidic wit that is serving him well in the midst of an 0-4 start, worst by a Buffalo team in 16 years.’
‘"We picked Rob because he’s more talented, and we felt he fit best with what we were trying to accomplish here."’
The Bills have unquestionably been one of the league’s worst teams so far. If they’re not THE worst, either the Redskins or Cowboys deserve that dishonor. Egotistical owners and salary cap mismanagement have turned two of the league’s most storied rivals into hopeless losers with little cause for optimism.
The Green Bay Packers activated DT Cletidus Hunt from the NFL’s suspended list Saturday in time for Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens.
The Packers released tight end Bobby Collins to make room for Hunt. The Packers acquired Collins from Buffalo on Aug. 7.
