BillsBeat - October 19, 2001

Buffalo 13, Jacksonville 10

‘”Hopefully, this will springboard us the rest of the season,” said Johnson, who completed 23-of-30 for 238 yards and a touchdown. “The first one is always the toughest, especially with how young we are and how banged up we are. Once you get one, you prove you can win.”‘

Offense/Defense stats

‘A TD for RJ, a sack by Williams, Schobel, Foreman & Flowers, Moulds leading receivers with 60 yards and a TD. Irvin caught a spectacular interception (upheld by instant replay) and Tillman caught one as well to end the game. The defense front four were without Hansen and Larsen but pressure was constant on Brunell. The WCO was efficient and ball was spread out well with Centers, Moulds, Riemersma and Henry all getting multiple balls. Pity anyone who chose to start Brunell in their fantasy football league.’

Team Stats - Bills vs Jaguars

‘RJ had two sacks vs Brunell having 4. RJ had no interceptions but Brunell had 2. Jaguars got NO punt returns in 4 kicks. Bills dominated everything except rushing yards and kickoff returns.’

Bills 13, Jaguars 10

‘Arians had missed field goals of 41 and 39 yards, but coach Gregg Williams didn’t hesitate to put the game on his foot [Bills were currently tied with Jaguars] on fourth-and-inches. The kick sailed through and Arians jumped into the arms of Dan O’Leary, who carried him halfway to the sideline.’

Phillips awarded remainder of salary

‘”Naturally, I’m disappointed in a ruling that awards money to Wade Phillips for his departure from the Bills,” Bills owner Ralph Wilson said before the team’s game in Jacksonville, Fla. “Phillips claims he was fired. I reject that. He forced his dismissal with unreasonable behavior.”‘

Johnson leads Bills past Jaguars 13-10

While the Buffalo Bills are rebuilding, it’s hard to tell what the Jacksonville Jaguars are up to. Jake Arians missed two FGs early but made the last one in the clutch and the defense stopped Brunell final effort with an interception.

Bills Won't Beat Troubled Jaguars

quote: For all Jacksonville’s troubles, the Bills (an 8 1/2-point underdog)

have yet to prove that they’re better than anyone else’s second team, much

less a perennial playoff contender.

Bills look to 'stay on course'

‘ESPN isn’t exactly salivating over this one.’

Metzelaars' son lights up Charlotte sky with aerial brilliance

Former Buffalo Bill and Carolina Panther Pete Metzelaars spent 16 seasons in the NFL catching passes and battling in the trenches from his TE position.

Around the Carolinas, he is also the answer to a great Panthers trivia question. Metzelaars was the first Panther to score a touchdown, hauling in an 8-yard TD pass from former Bill Frank Reich during Carolina’s inaugural season.

Now his son, Anthony Metzelaars, is putting up numbers in Charlotte that will make him the answer to future trivia questions. The younger Metzelaars QBs Charlotte Christian, where his father serves as OC of the football team and as assistant athletics director. Like his father, Anthony is finding much success on the football field.

Bills, Jags regroup after respite

Warning: Joe Theismann ahead, some people like coffee others hate it.

GM Tom Donahoe made the right decision to release Flutie and keep Johnson because the West Coast style suits Johnson more than Flutie. But the problem is that Johnson isn’t getting rid of the ball quickly enough. If he can make decisions, learn the offense and survive the season, he will be fine — and so will the Bills.

Bills will be a test for Jags

Based on the records of the two teams, the Jaguars should be able to get back on track. Tony Brackens will be back to help the Jaguars’ defense.

But the Bills are a desperate team with good skill-position players. The Bills’ defense has been marred by injury, especially to LB Cowart, their best player. They have been close several times to putting things together. Under new head coach Williams, the Bills are really struggling with the system and getting everyone on the same page. The young coaching staff is just taking a little longer than other staffs to get a pulse on its personnel. That’s what they are struggling with. I don’t expect Buffalo to be an easy test for the Jaguars.
