Two Bills Drive

‘On contemplating going for it on fourth and goal in the third quarter before deciding on a field goal:

"We thought the ball was spotted on the one-yard line when we went into the huddle. When we came out of the huddle, the ball was actually a little bit closer to the two. We wanted to discuss it. It was in the third quarter and our defense was fighting and scratching. We had to get points out of that drive. That’s what we believe. Once we found that the ball was spotted a little farther out than what we originally heard and looked at, we decided to kick the field goal and get points on that drive. I feel we failed on a couple other drives, where we didn’t get field goals. It ends up being the difference-maker in the ball game."’

‘"I don’t really know what to tell you. We had opportunities when we were down there close and we’ve got to score touchdowns. What it comes down to is if we are running the ball everybody has got to be just right on their assignments and if we are throwing the ball somebody has got to make a play. If it’s a great throw or a catch or whatever it is, we have got to score touchdowns down (in the red zone) and we haven’t been able to do it."’

‘"Right now it’s tough because it’s the present one. We played a Houston team that has improved, but are they a better football team than us? No."’

‘"I crammed myself and planted a little too close to the ball. I didn’t really give myself a chance to extend and get a good swing on it. That’s what happens and you kind of get those ugly ones to the left."’

‘Do you wonder where all the points have gone?

"Well we’re not putting it in the end zone. If we don’t put it in the end zone and don’t put it through the up-rights we’re not going to get points. It’s as simple as that. We’re just not finishing drives. We’ve got to be able to finish drives. We’ve got to be able to concentrate and focus and do what we need to do. It’s just not happening right now and that’s killing us when we get down there to put points on the board."’

‘"Well it’s hard for me to comment on their football team. All I know is we felt coming in this was gonna be a close, hard fought game and that we were going to have to find a way, like many of our games. I think if you look at six of our football games, we’ve been able to win I think four of those six. We’ve lost a couple that were real close in the end. We felt if we could keep our poise and keep fighting and find a way to make a play… We found a way to make some big plays down the stretch in the second half."’

‘"They’re always good, anytime you can beat a great defense like that on the road, you’ve got to love that."’

‘He underwent x-rays and returned in the third quarter. After the game Henry was diagnosed with a broken right fibula. He finished the contest with 23 carries for 149 yards on the ground.’

Bills Inactives

#21 RB Willis McGahee

#27 CB Dainon Sidney

#53 LB Mario Haggan

#55 LB Angelo Crowell

#64 OL Ben Sobieski

#66 DT Lauvale Sape

#68 OT Mike Williams

#80 WR Eric Moulds

‘Williams apparently rolled his truck and sustained minor injuries. He was then taken to Erie County Medical Center in Buffalo after being helped from the car by the jaws of life. He will remain there for observation.’

Adam(Buffalo): Tom, do you think the Bills coaching staff should be fired or is it their personel to blame for these awful couple of weeks?

Tom Jackson: (5:11 PM ET ) I’ll just say this. I bet that Kevin Gilbride is fired this week. Les Steckel could be calling their plays next week. Gilbride is the offensive coordinator there and Ralph Wilson wanted to fire him last week.

‘Henry was injured after a 3-yard run up the middle inside the Texans’ 10. It appeared linebacker Jay Foreman rolled up on the back of Henry’s leg when he was down.’

‘Bledsoe hit TE Mark Campbell for a six yard gain to the one yard-line but on Henry’s next carry, Texans SS Eric Brown pushed him back for a one-yard loss to force a 4th and 2. The Bills opted for a 20-yard Lindell field goal to put the score at 9-8, continuing an 11-quarter stretch without a touchdown.’

‘In its last three games, Buffalo has combined for 21 points, including three safeties. Its last offensive score was Henry’s 14-yard run with 10:24 left in a 24-7 win over Washington on Oct. 19.’

‘The Bills (4-6) could have taken Johnson down, but cornerback Nate Clements and linebacker London Fletcher failed to complete their tackles. Safety Pierson Prioleau tried to catch the rookie receiver, but was unable to prevent Johnson from giving Houston a 6-5 lead.’
