‘In terms of salary cap moves to clear space, if the Bills cut Williams before June 1st, they would reportedly save 3.5 million dollars. Releasing Moulds would clear out about 5.7 million dollars of cap room. It appears Sam Adams may be playing his last season as a Bill. If so, the team would save around 2.9 million by letting him go.’

‘Coach Mike Mularkey said decisions on each will be at game-time.’

‘"And," said Cowart, "just look at the Buffalo Bills now."’

‘As for Sundays game, Chad predicts a Bills win of course, 27-17. “I can see JP Losman having a big game, I’m predicting three TD passes.”‘

‘”Last time I checked we lost,” a disappointed Fletcher said. “And there is no joy in losing.”‘

‘”We just have not capitalized,” Mularkey said. “I wish I could explain. It’s not that we don’t have guys open or don’t have the ability to run down there.”‘

‘The Dolphins have been very inconsistent, and they’re coming off their best game of the year. If Ricky and Ronnie total something less than 150 yards, the Bills will use a few key turnovers to beat the Dolphins 24-21.’

‘If I were him I would simply hand the ball of to Ricky and Ronnie and let them wear down an extremely porous Bills run defense, then choose my spots in the passing game in order to keep the chains moving or put a touchdown or two on the board. If Frerotte can do that, and admittedly it’s easier said than done, the Miami Dolphins should secure their fifth win of the season.’

‘Dolphins win 21-20.’

‘”The only thing I’m probably doing different is week to week I’m preparing better,” said Schobel, who is in his fifth season. “I know what I’m going to do more than I used to, so I think that may have benefited me a little. Yeah, it’s always good to be on pace to get double digits.”‘

‘”There’s more on the line right now,” quarterback J.P. Losman said. “We have to get a winning streak started. It’s not much different from the beginning of the year. We have our backs against the wall.”‘

‘Two things are indisputable: 1, Williams wasn’t a good pick; 2, None of the prominent draft analysts questioned the Bills’ selection of Williams at No. 4 overall. So the Bills should have done something different. But exactly what is hard to pinpoint.’

‘”Tight ends are very valuable,” Losman said. “We’ve been trying to hit them outside a bit but we’re also trying to establish the run. You can see more people around the ball trying to stop the run so that means they’re putting someone on the tight end. That’s why it’s tougher to get him the ball right now.”‘
