Two Bills Drive

‘Final score: Jets 24, Bills 16.’

‘But that’s the problem. It’s hard to remember the last time Cowart was healthy.’

‘Prediction: Jets 30, Bills 21.’

‘Dubbed “True Drew” by a fawning Buffalo media, Bledsoe is already extremely popular with his new teammates. Wide receiver Eric Moulds — who can compare him to Kelly, Flutie, Frank Reich and Johnson — said: “Drew is a harder thrower than Kelly, though I caught Jim in his last year. Drew also takes command in the huddle like Kelly.”’

In 10 career games vs. the Jets, Jay has racked up 277 receiving yards on 25 catches, including two TDs. The yardage total is his most against any NFL team.

If you’ve read or heard anything about the Buffalo Bills in the last six months, it’s probably been about Drew Bledsoe. From the moment the quarterback was traded here from the New England Patriots last April, people have speculated that Bledsoe and wide receiver Eric Moulds could create a new millennium version of the Jim Kelly-Andre Reed connection.

‘Eleven of Buffalo’s 16 games will be against eight of the NFL’s 12 leading rushers from last season.’

‘Moulds felt restricted in Sheppard’s West Coast scheme, which required receivers to run to a certain spot even if the defensive coverage dictated doing something else. As a result, Moulds believed Sheppard’s schemes made it easier for defenses to take him and Price out of the passing game.’

‘Immediately after the Bills-New York Jets opener ends on Channel 4 Sunday, Empire plans to simulcast Howard Simon’s postgame coverage on the regional cable channel and sister radio station WNSA-FM.’

‘A bipartisan group of Erie County legislators called Friday for a portion of Abbott Road in Orchard Park to be renamed "Jim Kelly Boulevard" to honor the former Buffalo Bills quarterback.’

‘On paper, this line is vastly improved but that improvement hasn’t yet transferred onto the field.’

‘But is Williams really in danger of a quick hook? Hardly. He is the hand-picked coach of general manager Tom Donahoe, who also plucked the fiery Bill Cowher from the ranks of the obscure to coach the Pittsburgh Steelers back to prominence. The difference is that these two can actually stand being in the same room together. They have mutual admiration. Their personalities mesh. They are a team within the team.’

‘Thus, here’s one man’s list of the Bills’ best home games each season since 1973…’

‘Q: Going deep means more Eric more of the time doesn’t it? MOULDS: It should. It gives me an opportunity to do what I can do. Last year that wasn’t me. That wasn’t my strength. We did some things that teams took advantage of by putting a guy underneath and putting a guy over the top, and it was easy to take me out of the game. I never really had a chance to go deep. I think this year’s a little bit better because I have an opportunity to get open.’
