BillsBeat - September 23, 2001

Johnson, Fina both have a lot to prove

‘What we have here is Rob Johnson on his own. So far he resembles an early elimination in the latest TV reality show, "The Great Race."’

Buffalo News | Sep 23, 2001

It's early, but the Bills' defining moment already has arrived

‘Everyone around the team concedes that the time for talk is over. It’s time for the West Coast offense to fulfill its promise; time for the playmakers to make big plays; time to score touchdowns and take the load off a young defense that will have its hands full today. The offense needs a jolt of confidence, and it needs it now. Everyone, from the front office to the coaches to the players, is eager to see the West Coast attack function at a reasonably high level, to establish a sense of belief.’

Buffalo News | Sep 23, 2001

Turning it around

‘Henry was a big Bills fan growing up in Frostproof, a town of 3,000 in central Florida between Tampa and Vero Beach. The quality he respected most about the Bills during the late 1980s and early ’90s was their unbridled resiliency. He appreciated how they kept getting knocked down but kept coming back during the Super Bowl years. He begged for – and received – a Bills jacket for Christmas during his junior year of high school. He didn’t just love the Bills. He lived the Bills. He looked at them and saw himself.’

Buffalo News | Sep 23, 2001

NFL teams prepare to resume their normalcy

‘The Colts are planning a 15-minute "Tribute to Our Local Heroes" ceremony prior to the game.’

Indianapolis Star | Sep 23, 2001

Bills aren't afraid to upgrade their roster

‘"There’s been a couple of cuts that people didn’t expect," he said. "That hasn’t really happened here before. People here are getting used to how pro football really is. Before, we just kept our 53 guys and that’s our team for the year. Now, if you’re not playing well or if things aren’t going well, they’re going to look to upgrade the team."’

Indianapolis Star | Sep 23, 2001

Wayne's ready to go, but how much?

‘Manning has been held under 200 passing yards in 11 of his 49 career starts in the league. Four have come against the Bills.’

Indianapolis Star | Sep 23, 2001

The Manning model

‘Five sacks and three interceptions in the opener are ample evidence of that. But with just two field goals against the Saints, the entire Bills offence has something to prove. Everyone’s learning the new offence, not just me," Johnson said. "It’s not just one guy, it’s 11 guys."’

Toronto Sun | Sep 23, 2001

An emotional return for Bills and Colts

‘And nobody’s quite sure what to expect in the aftermath of the unspeakable tragedies in New York and Washington, especially for a game in which violence and aggressiveness are an integral part. That’s very much the case for the Buffalo Bills and Indianapolis Colts who meet this afternoon in the soldout RCA Dome.’

Olean Times Herald | Sep 23, 2001

Bills get back to business against Colts

‘"I think it’ll be a proud time for us as a country, getting back to sports and the things we enjoy and may take for granted," linebacker Keith Newman said. "For us to play this game and the fans who come to watch, those are luxuries we sometimes forget. That’s why being out there and hearing the anthem is going to be a great feeling. Then we’ve got to focus on the game."’

D and C | Sep 23, 2001

Head of the class

‘The Indianapolis Colts’ 25-year-old throwing machine is at the head of a successful new breed of young signal callers, a class that also includes Philadelphia’s Donovan McNabb, Minnesota’s Daunte Culpepper, Cleveland’s Tim Couch and Denver’s Brian Griese.’

D and C | Sep 23, 2001

It's time for Ritcher to fly again

‘"We had not been trained to deal with a suicide hijacker because there had never been such a scenario," he said. "What occurred on September 11 was unprecedented."’

D and C | Sep 23, 2001

Q and A with Larry Centers

‘"My individual goal is to bring the best Larry Centers to the field each Sunday. I want all my teammates to know that I come to play and every play, when I get my opportunity I’m going to get the maximum amount of yards allowed me on that play. "That’s how I grade myself on film. I ask, ‘What could I have done differently to get more yards? How could I have played the situation better?’ That’s how I’ve come to analyze myself as a player, taking it play by play."’

D and C | Sep 23, 2001

Scouting report

‘The Bills must come out of the blocks fast. Falling behind on the road is never a good idea, especially not in the emotionally charged environment that will exist today. The offense has to get on track. You know the Colts are going to score points, so the only way Buffalo can win is to score more points. Pretty simple logic, right?’
