Two Bills Drive

‘He doesn’t start, so when Watson trots out onto the football field, one might as well just slap a sign on his back reading “Pass Here.”‘

‘Ralph Wilson is running out of superlatives to describe Bills quarterback Drew Bledsoe.’

‘”I just wanted him to calm down a bit and not over blow the situation,” Williams said. “We told him we’d get him back in the flow and we did — and he responded.”‘

‘Came to play: Bills QB Drew Bledsoe: This, of course, is redundant.’

‘Drew Bledsoe continued his case for league MVP. He was so good, tickets for the Bengals game in December probably started selling.’

‘If the Bills are not yet the stuff of which Super Bowl champions are made, with Bledsoe at the controls they’re one of the NFL’s surest guarantees of heart-stopping entertainment so far this season.’

‘”Drew throws the ball phenomenal. His ball is better than Kurt Warner. He can throw all the throws.”‘

‘”It felt great because as a football player you want your coaches and teammates to believe in you and that’s basically what happened,” Henry said. “I had some problems early in the game and when I got my opportunity to get back in, I wanted to show I was ready to make up for my mistake.”‘

‘”As a team, even after the two games that we’ve lost this year, I think that we’re starting to develop a belief in ourselves that we’ve got the talent, the ability, to play with anybody in the league,” he said.’

”’We hope winning these close games is a big building block,” said Williams. ”Every week in this league, most games come down to the wire. Our guys made the plays they needed to make to win.”’

“Right now, our offense is playing very well. We’re putting up points and getting in the position to win games. Defensively we are giving up too much. We are giving up too many penalties, giving up touchdowns instead of field goals.”

“Yes. It was a great block downfield by (Peerless) Price. I just read it and I saw the end zone and I just knew I was going to get that…I was just so happy to get the win.”

“We felt that way. When we came in at halftime we knew that we had made too many mistakes. Penalties, giving up the touchdown off the fumble and just a lot of other stupid mistakes that shouldn’t have been made, were and we knew we needed to change things in the second-half.”

‘”I guess I just don’t do enough in regulation. I need to get more done in regulation so I don’t have to keep dealing with this.”‘

“We went in the ball game knowing we wanted to run the football. A lot of people talked about Chicago being a tough team to run the ball against and we wanted to achieve more balance in that area. With Larry away to a funeral earlier in the week, Phil got more reps and that’s how we packaged it up this week. Larry came in and made some huge catches in some critical situations that kept drives alive. There was total team contribution and that’s the fun party of the locker room. Especially a young team who felt they all contributed. Every play is important.”
