‘Coach Gregg Williams says the Bills will work Bledsoe out on Tuesday to help determine if he’s ready to practice on Wednesday.’

‘Jonas Jennings has a new injury. He hurt his toe and is having more tests.’

‘Get this straight. I’m not saying this SHOULD happen, but it most certainly COULD happen.’

‘Sunday did emphasize what I’ve believed all along. Drew Bledsoe is not as bad as this recent stretch. Put in the right situation, he can still complete passes and move the offense. The Bills can still win with Drew. They just need to improve the pieces around Bledsoe, including their offensive coordinator.’

‘Williams said Bledsoe is scheduled to work out on Tuesday to determine whether he can practice once the team returns to the field on Wednesday to prepare for this weekend’s home game against the New York Jets.’

”’It’s something that’s well deserved,” Williams said of the additional day of rest. ”I’ve been wanting to do that for quite a while. … It was nice to be able to throw a bone as a coach and say, ‘Job well done.””

‘Well, we know which team has packed it in for the season. It was hard to tell coming in.’

‘”All we can do the last four games is go out and show what we can do.”‘

‘It was Moore’s first TD reception of the season … tying him with starting wide receivers Eric Moulds and Josh Reed.’

‘”They are prideful men. They know that there are a lot of things that happen in the month of December every single year. There are teams that rise out of the month of December and get back in the hunt. We have to be very physical in this month of December. We’ve got some pretty good opponents coming up through this month and we’ve got to play much better against the Jets at home this week.”‘

‘Jerry Smith, veteran head football coach at St. Francis HS has been named the winner of the seventh annual Buffalo Bills Western New York HS Football “Coach of the Year” Award for the 2003 season. Smith will be honored at ceremonies held Sunday, December 7 prior to the Bills-NY Jets game at Ralph Wilson Stadium.’

‘The win isn’t going to save any jobs, and Buffalo remains all but eliminated from a postseason berth, trailing Miami by three games with four to play for the final wild-card berth.’
