Two Bills Drive

‘OK, it was against the Broncos’ second team. Think anybody cared?’

‘”It’s been fine,” said Murray Brandes, an Alpine Drive resident for 36 years. “There hasn’t been any excessive congestion or noise for me. I think a lot of people in the neighborhood were quite apprehensive. It didn’t turn out that way at all.”‘

‘"It’s getting better all of the time, and I’m just waiting for the time when it all starts clicking," -McGahee said. "It was really good to hear all those cheers (Sunday night). It means a lot."’

‘The cheers went up when McGahee first took the field, lining up beside Henry late in the first quarter. And the crowd was already on its feet in anticipation before McGahee followed two blockers into the end zone, putting the Bills ahead 10-3 with 4:37 left in the second quarter.’

‘Gibson, a nine-year NFL veteran, was competing for a backup job. He spent the last five seasons with Cincinnati, where he was a four-year starter.’

‘Bills wide receiver Lee Evans, the 13th overall pick, did not catch a pass.’

‘McGahee still had very little burst, but ran hard and carried defenders with him.’

‘Quarterback J.P. Losman, the second of Buffalo’s two first round draft picks, showed why the Bills feel he’s their quarterback of the future. Losman completed all five of his pass attempts for a team best 55 yards. He also carried the ball three times for 37 yards and was Buffalo’s second leading rusher.’

‘There are now 84 players on the Bills current roster.’

‘The injury isn’t expected to keep him out of action for an extended period of time.’

‘The players miked from each team include…’.

‘"That’s the whole design of the fire zones we run," Denney said. "We hope we put some pressure on quick, have London Fletcher cover momentarily is what it is. When someone got to him, he wasn’t able to get a good pass off and it floated right by me. I was able to spin on it and pick it off."’

‘On what the team still has to work on:

There are some times defensively our objective was to keep them in third-and-long situations, then when you do what you set out to do, you have to stop them on those third-and-long’s. We gave up a couple there that kept drives going. It’s going to happen and we talked about it. Offensively, a couple penalties put us back, but other than that I thought we were pretty efficient. It’s hard to overcome some of the penalties we had. Some of the things we talked about with the alignment of the receivers was addressed and we still have problems with that, so obviously I have to do a better job getting that across to these guys.’

‘"Wiring 13 players in one game is a feat that has never been attempted in NFL history," said Bill Graff, executive of studio and remote production at NFL Films.’
