Two Bills Drive

‘Halfback option??? That awful call blew up worse than last week’s fake punt. It took away Bills’ chance at big momentum.’

‘Give play-caller Norv Turner credit. He kept hammering away with Ricky and dominated time of possession.’

‘It was a debacle.’

‘4.6 — Drew Bledsoe’s quarterback rating in the first half, about 140 points below his final rating last week.’

‘A junior high ploy to get Moulds off his game? Perhaps, but it worked.’

‘When Drew Bledsoe is good, he’s very good, and when he’s bad, well, he’s very bad.’

‘The heroics were enough to overcome an offense that gave away almost as many points as it scored and tried to give the game away.’

”’Sam and Pat and Brock and those guys really played football tonight,” Dolphins coach Dave Wannstedt said. “[That was] as outstanding a defensive effort as I’ve been around in a long time.”’

‘Seemingly growing strong as the game went on, Williams added 69 yards on 14 carries in the fourth quarter.’

‘Against a Bills unit that came into the game ranked eighth in the NFL in total defense and eighth against the pass, Fiedler held his own, even though it took a while to move the offense early.’

”’They changed their scheme for us, but we made mistakes and didn’t make plays,” Moulds said. “They double-teamed all game and basically said I wasn’t going to be the guy to beat them. I didn’t make plays when I had a chance to. It hurt us.”’

‘Makes you wonder, too, having seen how overwhelming Miami’s defense was: How in the world did these Dolphins ever lose to the Houston Texans?’

”’A true heavyweight fight on both sides,” coach Dave Wannstedt called this nose-to-nose savagery. Say this: The Bills never quit trying or trash-talking.’

‘A true heavyweight fight, yes. But a TKO, the loser with eyes swollen, beaten shut.’

‘Buffalo hasnt been slowed this way all season, and Miami reduced Drew Bledsoe and his band of merry men to a pile of dust and rubble. The Bills couldnt run, couldnt get open, couldnt breathe, and that suffocation started with the carnivores up front. Travis Henry was a Pro Bowler last year. Miami’s D-line made him look like a pro bowler.’
