Two Bills Drive

”’Our defense is chasing that mythical No. 1 defense,” Williams said. ”I’ve been a part of that before with Tennessee, and we’re close, we’d like to see that happen.”’

‘He said, “I probably should have thought about what I was going to say. I have the right to my opinion, but I should be smarter than that. I shouldn’t go to the media with concerns about things that are going on.” That, in itself, spoke volumes.’

‘The Bills have experienced assorted problems protecting the less-than-mobile Bledsoe, and they rank among the worst teams in the league at third-down conversions. Some of that might be explained by a groin injury to wide receiver Eric Moulds, whose game-breaking abilities have been compromised, and the trade that sent Peerless Price, another explosive wideout, to Atlanta for a first-round draft choice. But Donahoe says, ”You can’t say not having Peerless Price was the reason we didn’t score an offensive touchdown on the road in almost two months. I love Peerless and he’s an impact player, but he doesn’t have that kind of impact.”’

‘In the last four games Buffalo’s defense has allowed just 46 points, 283 yards rushing, 57 first downs, 22 of 59 third-down conversions and has 12 sacks. In the first eight games, Buffalo had only 13 sacks.’

‘Kudos to Gregg Williams for having the Bills ready to play and eager to snap their four-game losing streak in a road game. It was a complete team victory.’

‘K Rian Lindell has run into a tough patch on field goals. He has missed four of his last seven kicks, including a 50-yarder that came up well short against the Giants. For the season he is 13 of 19.’

‘Coach Gregg Williams says the Bills will work Bledsoe out on Tuesday to help determine if he’s ready to practice on Wednesday.’

‘Jonas Jennings has a new injury. He hurt his toe and is having more tests.’

‘Get this straight. I’m not saying this SHOULD happen, but it most certainly COULD happen.’

‘Sunday did emphasize what I’ve believed all along. Drew Bledsoe is not as bad as this recent stretch. Put in the right situation, he can still complete passes and move the offense. The Bills can still win with Drew. They just need to improve the pieces around Bledsoe, including their offensive coordinator.’

‘Williams said Bledsoe is scheduled to work out on Tuesday to determine whether he can practice once the team returns to the field on Wednesday to prepare for this weekend’s home game against the New York Jets.’

”’It’s something that’s well deserved,” Williams said of the additional day of rest. ”I’ve been wanting to do that for quite a while. … It was nice to be able to throw a bone as a coach and say, ‘Job well done.””

‘Well, we know which team has packed it in for the season. It was hard to tell coming in.’

‘”All we can do the last four games is go out and show what we can do.”‘

‘It was Moore’s first TD reception of the season … tying him with starting wide receivers Eric Moulds and Josh Reed.’
