"After watching yesterday’s ballgames, getting a chance to see some of the things that took place, and you can see again, the division is wide open. Everyone in our division has at least two losses, we need to win in front of a national spotlight, and get on a roll right now."

After analyzing the Buffalo Bills’ first four games, the inescapable conclusion is that they simply lack the raw materials to contend, even in the National Football League’s present watered-down state.

Problem is, there’s not much the Bills can do at this point to beef up a roster that’s been outscored 128-71 over the course of four one-sided losses. All they can do is keep trying to get better. Or at least prevent things from getting worse.

Bills Director of Pro Personnel John Guy talks about the Jaguars.

As a kickoff specialist and former field goal kicker, Moorman had a natural tendency to "cut" with his leg (kick slightly to the side) instead of punting straight through the ball. While he got away with that in college, he had to fix it in the pros. In Seattle, Moorman also worked on his drop. "Ninety percent of the punt," he says, "is the drop."

‘The Bills face an opponent missing two of its four best players when they go to Jacksonville to play the Jaguars on Thursday night. The Jaguars’ offense will operate without star running back Fred Taylor and All-Pro left tackle Tony Boselli.’

‘"He threw the ball extremely well, especially in the wind today," said coach Gregg Williams. "He had a fresh arm. It seems like there is no residual effect from it right now."’
