Two Bills Drive

‘"The fact that we get a chance to play in another national spotlight game similar to earlier this year (against Jacksonville, Buffalo’s lone victory), there’s no doubt our guys will bounce back from this."’

‘But as Williams said Sunday, "We have to kick it through" and Arians didn’t.’

‘…it sure has been more fun and less frustrating watching him the last few games than it was suffering through Johnson’s travails.’

‘"It’s a possibility, nothing is confirmed," was all Christie’s agent, Gil Scott, would say last night of his client’s potential trip to California. Sources in San Diego say it’s much stronger than that, however.’

‘"It’s more than just that (the missed extra point), we had lots of things that came up in that ballgame with situations that came up towards the end, but it wasn’t just the extra point, no," Bills coach Gregg Williams said of his decision to release Arians.’

‘The Bills worked out Jon Hilbert and veteran Al Del Greco before the start of the season and, more recently, Doug Brien, who spent all of last year with the New Orleans Saints.’

At his press conference today, coach Gregg Williams told the media the Bills will be making a change at the kicker position, with a new kicker to be announced tomorrow.

‘For three periods, you wondered how the Miami Dolphins had won six games. For the last quarter, you wondered how the Buffalo Bills had won even one.’

‘Quarterback Jay Fiedler sounded shocked at the way the Bills decided to defend Miami in the fourth quarter with a 21-10 lead. “They were giving us chances, playing a lot of man-to-man defenses, they were playing hard inside on Chris (Chambers) and our wideouts and giving us the deep throws for (the Miami receivers) to go up and make some plays,” Fiedler said. “They tried blitzing a couple times, and we were able to catch them in one or two blitzes and made some big plays.”‘

‘Buffalo has now lost a team-record eight straight home games.’

‘There was absolutely no way, by any objective measure, that the Buffalo Bills should have, could have, lost to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. And yet they did.’

‘"I’ve seen a lot in 11 years, and this is a new low."’

‘"Despite all the other things that went against us, I had two plays to make a difference and I didn’t make a difference…".

‘If the Bills didn’t already know about Chambers’ playmaking ability, they know now.’

‘And you thought it couldn’t get any worse.’
