Buffalo Bills News and Discussion
‘Having to come in after Kelly got injured, how many plays did it take you to get into a groove?
J.P. Losman: I felt it when I was warming up. I didn’t care what they threw at me I was going to complete some balls and take off running when I had to.’
‘Mularkey said he’s going to give Holcomb another day to see how he feels. Holcomb is still recovering from the effects of a concussion sustained in last Sunday’s win over the Chiefs. Holcomb said he is no longer suffering from headaches but is not medically cleared to practice.’
‘”I feel better today. Getting better all the time,” Holcomb said. “Today, I still don’t feel myself. Hopefully, tomorrow I’ll go in and tell those guys I’m ready to go.”‘
‘The Chiefs’ always-dangerous return man Dante Hall fielded four punts, but only amassed a 3.5-yard average.’
‘It seems to me that Mularkey is afraid that Losman will prove that he had a poor gameplan in the beginning of the season. This team would have been a lot better off if Losman could have taken chances back in September.’
‘Chargers 23, Bills 10.’
‘”I’m thinking minicamp,” Spikes said recently during his first interview with the local media since the injury. “That’s the way I feel, especially the way that it’s been improving. Just say training camp is a definite. I’ll be cleared up, full, 100 percent ready to go by training camp. As a matter of fact, I honestly believe I’m going to be bigger, faster and stronger for next year.”‘
‘The Bills are tied for eighth in the NFL in points allowed at 18 points per game. The defense has needed to be stingy because the Bills have the league’s seventh lowest-scoring offense (15.8 points per game).’
‘”Neither one has missed a game, rain or shine, sick or sleep-deprived,” she wrote. “When everyone one else left the comeback game (in 1993, versus the Houston Oilers), we were there! … Our Bills flag flies 365 days a year.”‘
‘Bills opponents have rushed for 13 touchdowns, an average of 5.0 yards per carry and 150.7 yards per game. The first two numbers are the highest in the league; the latter number is the second-highest.’
‘If Losman can stretch the field like he did against the Chiefs, it could give inconsistent RB Willis McGahee more running room.’
‘But for one Sunday this year, Duke’s Buffalo Bills career means the Preston family will be torn between cheering for the team of father and son.’

‘"I only slept for three hours because I was so excited," Brett exclaimed. "We’re going to the assembly and then everybody except for a couple of my friends are going to leave and my homeroom are going to stay in the gym and throw some footballs around."’
‘The Chargers and Buffalo Bills, two members of the original AFL, will meet for the 33rd time this Sunday. The Chargers have won the last three games between the teams in San Diego and are 12-6-1 all-time at home against Buffalo, including a 1980 AFC Divisional Playoff game. The teams have not played in San Diego since 2001, a game won by the Chargers, 27-24.’
