Two Bills Drive

‘Instead it was the Bad News Bills who self-destructed in a 34-27 loss that became a snapshot of a miserable 1-9 season.’

‘This is a head coach who declared upon his hiring that his database of potential assistants would allow him to recruit the best coaching staff in football. Hooey!’

‘This felt good.’

‘Still, the Dolphins managed to survive the loss of perhaps their two best offensive linemen Sunday to rally for a 34-27 win over the Buffalo Bills at Ralph Wilson Stadium.’

‘Entering the Miami game, he was on pace for 57 catches and 718 yards, far below his totals of 94 receptions and 1,326 yards last season.’

‘In his two starts this season, Van Pelt has moved the Bills down the field better than Johnson.’

‘But for a day, the Dolphins held it together and orchestrated an improbable comeback. They fought through the kind of adversity that unnerves even the best.’

‘Asked if he would cut himself if he were general manager of the Bills, Arians replied: “If I was the GM, probably.”‘

‘Numerous fights broke out in the crowd.’

‘"Comebacks like this don’t happen every day."’

‘"I don’t care," middle linebacker Zach Thomas said. "We got out of here with a win, and I’m going to stay positive."’

‘Good teams find ways to win. Bad teams find ways to lose.’

‘It was the patchwork offensive line that gave quarterback Jay Fiedler enough time to throw two touchdown passes to rookie Chris Chambers in the final 4:07 to fuel the come-from-behind victory.’

‘This was a great escape against a decidedly ungreat opponent, but the Dolphins and Jay Fiedler will take it.’

‘"They came up with some big plays in the end, and we didn’t make the big plays to counter that." — coach Gregg Williams’.
