Two Bills Drive

‘Financial terms were not disclosed for Fina, who signed a one-year deal after spending his first 10 years with the Buffalo Bills. He was released in June in a salary cap move.’

‘The Tucson, Arizona, resident was the Bills’ first-round draft pick in 1992 from the University of Arizona. He played on the Bills’ teams that went to the Super Bowl following the 1992 and 1993 seasons.’

‘"Anything after the Music City Miracle’ that goes wrong with the special teams, it’s like, ‘Oh, here we go again.’ And I can understand that," linebacker Keith Newman said on Monday. "But I think nobody on this team is feeling, ‘Here we go again.’ I feel it’s, ‘Damn, we let one slip away."”

"Guys, take a look at yourself," Bledsoe told his teammates on the sidelines. "Somebody in this group is going to make a play. I don't know who it's going to be, but somebody here is going to make a play to put us in position to win this game."

‘In a performance reminiscent of the special teams meltdowns under former assistant Ronnie Jones, the Buffalo Bills doused an off-season of brimming optimism with a seasoning-opening loss for the NFL record book.’

‘He had just made NFL history and won the game for his team, and all Chad Morton could think about was the play that got away.’

‘Somewhere, someone must be sticking pins in a voodoo doll that represents the Buffalo Bills’ special teams.’

‘In a game the Bills dominated most of the afternoon, their special teams miscues gave the Jets 16 points.’

‘The Bills’ season opener and the regular-season debut of the Drew Bledsoe era was ruined by a 5-foot-8, 186-pound man who had never returned a kickoff for a touchdown as a professional. Sunday, he returned two.’

‘And he does remind you of Jim Kelly, doesn’t he? How could you not flash back to Jimbo when Bledsoe, 6-foot-4, 240 pounds, sent 305-pound Jason Ferguson back to Friday with a shoulder block on a Peerless Price reverse?’

‘ If you believe the Bills are a legitimate playoff contender, you fear that losing to a divisional rival might cost them a playoff berth down the road. But if you see them as a work in progress, a young, evolving team in transition, then you had to be encouraged by what you saw Sunday.’

‘Moulds finished with eight catches for 112 yards and a touchdown, while Price added seven receptions for 80 yards.’

‘The already popular Drew Bledsoe made a few more friends when he threw a crushing block on Jets 305-pound defensive tackle Jason Ferguson on a reverse to wide receiver Peerless Price. The only drawback was the play lost 7 yards.’
