‘The Bills defense was solid in wet and windy conditions at Ralph Wilson Stadium, forcing two interceptions while limiting the Dolphins to 118 yards through three quarters and 212 overall. It was Buffalo’s first shutout since a 2003 season-opening 31-0 win over New England, and first against the Dolphins since a 29-0 win in November 1987.’

‘RB Willis McGahee (6-0, 228) moves the chains by using exceptional power and leg drive to finish runs. He has a tendency to dance in the backfield, but when he lowers his pads and hits the hole, he is hard to bring down. McGahee also has shown great toughness by playing the past four games with three broken ribs and a gimpy ankle.’

‘As the end of the Bills’ year looms large, they can take hope into the future that their young players – including Losman, Evans and a bevy of others – are turning into viable NFL performers.’

‘"Hey, listen, don’t talk to me about revenue sharing," Wilson said Sunday following the Bills 21-0 win over the Miami Dolphins. "The high-revenue clubs are not going to give teams like Buffalo any revenue sharing. They haven’t done it. They stalled it for years. And I’m sick and tired of hearing about it."’

‘Losman completed 13 of 19 for a total of 200-yards, three touchdowns, no picks and three sacks. Willis McGahee rushed 28 times for 79-yards. Evans had three receptions for 67-yards and one touchdown. In the first quarter, the Bills were -3 in yards but finished the game with 286-yards.’

‘Secondary… Grade A+: What grade would you expect when the starting QB has a rating of zero.’
