‘The only thing you can say about the Bills’ offense the past three games is that it has truly been offensive.’

‘McGahee, for one, knows when Shelton is in the lineup. After the Week 3 loss to the New York Jets, McGahee said one of the reasons the Bills didn’t attempt a running play from the red zone was because Shelton had left with an injury. “It’s a big difference, because that is what he does,” coach Dick Jauron said about his team’s blocking ability when Shelton is out of the lineup. “Those guys are hard to find, lead blockers.”‘

‘On Nov. 20, 1994, Reed caught 15 passes for 191 yards in the Buffalo Bills’ 29-20 victory over the Green Bay Packers, turning 11 of his gains into first downs.’

‘For the second week in a row, the Packers are playing a team that is out of desperation and has just overhauled its offensive line. The Bills used their bye last week to get that new group a little extra work, but they nonetheless figure to be vulnerable to blitzes and stunts with two players moving to new spots and a new starter added to the lineup.’

‘The forecast calls for the possibility of a chance of rain or snow showers in the morning, but things should dry out by the 1 p.m. kickoff and the temperature could reach 50 degrees.’

‘They have just seven takeaways in seven games, the third fewest in the NFL.’

‘The Buffalo Bills will host the Annual Gift of Warmth Collection before Sunday’s home game against the Green Bay Packers.’

‘Jauron hasn’t taken Buffalo by storm, either. The Bills are off to a disappointing 2-5 start. Jauron said he knows if he doesn’t turn the Bills around, teams aren’t going to be lining up to give him another chance.’

‘The Packers have won two straight, and the Bills have lost three in a row. If momentum counts for anything, the Packers should have a shot at beating another poor team.’

‘If Harris can put together another masterful performance against Evans, the Bills will have to rely on Peerless Price, Josh Reed or Roscoe Parrish to ignite their passing game.’

‘Yes, Losman’s back has the bulls-eye on it, but it’s coach Dick Jauron’s neck that is on the line. His decision to reshuffle his offensive line during the bye week is reminiscent of Mike Mularkey shifting king-sized bust Mike Williams to left guard and plugging Peters in at right tackle last season during the bye.’

‘”According to the lease, the county has to provide something like 2.7 million dollars a year for stadium maintenance,” said Erie County Public Works Commissioner John Laffredo. “And the Bills decide, according to the lease, which maintenance items they want done with that 2.7 million.”‘
