Two Bills Drive

Moulds believes he and Price are close to being as dangerous as any duo in the NFL…”I am not sure that in our first year together having these types of numbers, that guys are going to say they are the best tandem in the league. I think that we have to prove it over and over again, come back next year and be able to do the same things. Then people will start to consider us in that same breath.”

‘Jones was placed on the Bills’ injured reserve list Wednesday, and is expected to have surgery to repair torn cartilage in his left knee as early as this week.’

‘From the Bills perspective, being 5-5 is a huge disappointment after being 5-3 just a couple weeks ago.’

London Fletcher (knee, probable) is the only player on it.

Two other Bills lead the conference in Pro Bowl voting at their respective positions. Eric Moulds is the AFC’s leader at wide receiver with 295,152 votes and is also #1 among all NFL receivers. Among all AFC punters, Brian Moorman is #1 with 78,668 votes.

Jones goes on IR, McDonnell gets called up, Clarence Coleman joins the practice squad.

Henry now has 874 rushing yards (ranks fifth in the AFC and sixth in the NFL) on 186 attempts in 2002 (4.7) and is 126 shy of his first career 1,000 yard season. He would become the 8th different Bills player with a 1,000-yard season.

Do you ever wonder what it's really like to live the life of an NFL player? Is it truly the life of glamour that we all imagine or a life of grit and grind that is sometimes portrayed? Just how do these elite players spend their time away from the football field? Buffalobills.com gives you an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how Bills safety Coy Wire spent his time last week leading up to the Kansas City Chiefs game.

‘You think the Bills will win their six remaining games? You’re not dreaming, so long as you understand they might lose all six.’

‘"He’s a strong, physical, tough guy," Bills President and General Manager Tom Donahoe said Tuesday. "That’s really what attracted us to him. He knows the defense. It shouldn’t take long for him to make the transition."’

‘The Jets are favored by three points to assemble the first two-game home winning streak of the Herman Edwards era. They are 6-3 overall and 7-2 against the spread in their last nine games against the Bills. And in their last nine games vs. teams for which Drew Bledsoe was the starting QB, they are 8-1 straight up and 7-2 vs. the spread.’

‘In Buffalo, they will face the first team since their winning streak began that has an effective quarterback and an effective running back.’

‘”If you’re going to win in November and December,” Pennington said, “you have to run the football.”‘

‘It was Edwards who boldly pushed the button to sit Vinny Testaverde and start Chad Pennington. He made the change decisively, making it clear the move was permanent, not some desperate, grasping-at-straws search for a one-week answer.’

‘His ability to step right in and become the AFC’s top-rated passer in his first stab at the job hints that there’s more than just talent at work. Pennington’s success is also about how well Pennington used all those months he never got to play.’
