Two Bills Drive

‘But this year is different. "We’re finally getting some breaks this year," Dolphins linebacker Zach Thomas said. "We’ve never had many breaks in the past."’

‘Bledsoe has two wideouts, Peerless Price and Eric Moulds, who have combined for 88 catches already and who are better than anything Brady has had to throw to since Troy Brown was injured in Week 3. Bledsoe has a better tight end, better pass-catching backs (including Larry Centers, the most prolific pass-catching back ever) and a much better lead running back in Travis Henry.’

‘But this was a trap game, if ever there was one.’

‘For instance, with 18 sacks in six games, the Bills are fourth in the NFL behind Carolina (25), San Diego and Tampa Bay (both 19). And, amazingly, Buffalo is second in the AFC in defensing third downs.’

Jay Riemersma and Antoine Winfield among the players that will be out in the community on Tuesday.

Buffalobills.com visitors selected Bills wide receiver Travis Henry as the Tops Game Ball of the Week winner for his performance against the Houston Texans.

‘The Bills have lost two straight and seven of their last eight in Miami heading into Sunday’s game against the AFC East Division-leading Dolphins.’

‘What a difference a year makes.’

‘"We going to wait and see if it settles down the next couple of days," said Bills coach Gregg Williams. "We have a few more things we want to take a look at (today), but we’ll know more on Wednesday."’

‘For the Buffalo Bills, the best thing about this year is it isn’t last year.’

‘”It’s a young defense, a new bunch of guys together,” Ahanotu said. “I’ve been on some really good defenses and the missing element here is the sense of urgency on every play.”‘

‘So my point is, why not a Buffalo upset over Miami? Because despite the “On any given Sunday” cliche, this is a bad matchup for the Bills, on both sides of the ball.’

‘This was the first time this season the Bills’ defense allowed fewer than 27 points.’

‘The past three Super Bowl winners have won with a quarterback not starting at the start of training camp.’

”’This team,” he said, “is the most resilient I’ve ever been around.” Resilience, right now, means overcoming an injury to your starting quarterback. Resilience, later, could mean overcoming a QB controversy just as the playoffs begin to come into focus.’
