Two Bills Drive

‘Not only were the Jets able to run the ball, they were able to limit the Bills’ rushing attack as well.’

‘Speaking of direction, the Bills don’t like the way they’re headed. After a 2-0 start that had some suggesting they were championship timber, they have lost three of four and become the closest team the Jets can start to think of overhauling in the AFC East standings.’

‘Glenn had four tackles, including three solos, and a pass breakup. Hobson, who suffered a rib injury, had two solo tackles, including one for a loss.’

‘Conway dealt with his situation smartly on Sunday. He had only two catches from Vinny Testaverde, but they produced 41 yards and each converted a third-and-short on a touchdown march. Conway also drew a 15-yard pass interference call on Nate Clements on a second-quarter field goal drive.’

‘The key: Bills’ center Trey Teague sends a shotgun snap over Drew Bledsoe’s head and Bryan Thomas recovers at the Buffalo 17, setting up the 27-yard field goal by Brien.’

‘The four-year veteran recorded two sacks to lead a defense that had seven on the day. The Jets accomplished this despite being without their best pass rusher, John Abraham (deactivated).’

‘On this day, Democrat, Republican and Anarchist could agree on one point — the Bills stunk worse than New Jersey usually does.’

‘As Williams noted, “We’re 3-3 … that’s what we are.”‘

‘And, finally, there was quarterback Vinny Testaverde, who had thrown only two touchdown passes over the first four games. On Sunday, the soon-to-be-40-year-old tossed three in the first 43 minutes.’

‘”We sleepwalked,” said Bills owner Ralph C. Wilson Jr. “We didn’t have any emotion. We just haven’t shown any enthusiasm, not today, not for the last three weeks.”‘

‘The bottom line is the Bills can’t sustain drives long enough to produce points. They were just 5 of 15 on third downs and are converting just 36.6 percent for the season.’

‘It was an utter and complete embarrassment, the sort of game that gets a coach fired.’

‘”We can’t beat ourselves, and that’s what we did today,” said Kevin Thomas. “We just killed ourselves with poor technique. (Moss) is a good player, but we just broke down fundamentally and didn’t get off blocks. When you don’t make plays, you give up big plays. We can’t afford those mistakes.”‘

‘Bills fullback Sam Gash, asked if the loss was discouraging. “A loss like today? Hell yes, it’s discouraging. It’s embarrassing, because it makes us look like we are a finesse kind of team. We don’t have that kind of personnel to be a finesse team.”‘

‘Bad on offense, bad on defense, bad on special teams, bad in the coaching department.’
