Two Bills Drive

‘They had a chance to tie it with about 6 minutes left, but Corey Harris hit Morris as he tried to reach over a pile for a score and Brian Walker recovered the fumble. Buffalo had another opportunity with just under 2 minutes to play, but rookie Chris Cash intercepted Travis Browns’ pass at Detroit’s 8.’

‘McMahon hit on 5-of-5 passes for 81 yards in limited play while Harrington, drafted No. 3 overall, was 21-of-35 for 187 yards with a touchdown and an interception.’

‘The Buffalo Bills, under the leadership of new quarterback Bledsoe, expect significant improvement. This is the second year in Buffalo for Gregg Williams, a coach who has Bills management – and fans – excited for a turnaround.’

‘Thinking that Buffalo could be this season’s version of the Patriots is not out of the realm of possibility, but the safe pick is an 8-8 finish.’

‘Drew Bledsoe won a Super Bowl ring last season because he did not play. Can he win one this year because he did play?’

If the two lines stay upright, the Bills will surprise a lot of people. When you have a quarterback like Bledsoe, there is reason to think the Bills could sneak in as a wild-card team.

‘1. Drew Bledsoe, Buffalo Bills: The strong-armed pocket passer now finds himself on a team loaded with explosive talent. After the Flutie-Johnson debacle, Bledsoe brings sturdy leadership as well as a strong arm. Nobody is smiling more than Eric Moulds…’.

‘While I realize many of you are aware of the nonexistent importance of NFL preseason action, there are still enough people out there who overreact to the exhibition season.’

I have been fortunate to get to know Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick and have remained close with them over the years. I was lucky enough to be on the team bench and in the team locker room when the Giants won Super Bowl XXV in Tampa in 1990. How many people can say that Bill Parcells and Phil Simms have had dinner at their house?

Miami’s top draft choice in ’72, Kadish was on the team’s taxi squad as a rookie and witnessed the only undefeated season in NFL history. The following preseason, a strong performance by Kadish during a nationally televised game caught Bills coach Lou Saban’s attention.

‘The Bills must cut from 68 to 53 players by 4 p.m. Sunday.’

Adding Drew Bledsoe is the move of the offseason. If the two lines can stay healthy, the Bills will compete in the AFC East. The ball will go down the field to a good receiving group.

‘With nine days to recover before the start of the NFL’s regular season, the Buffalo Bills starters will play halfway into the second quarter of tonight’s preseason finale against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field.’

‘With three preseason games over with and the regular-season opener against the New York Jets just 10 days away, Riemersma has just one catch for three yards.’
