Indianapolis (3-3) at Buffalo (1-5) Preview

The Buffalo Bills may be counting on Mother Nature to slow down the Indianapolis Colts when the AFC rivals meet at Ralph Wilson Stadium on Sunday.

Buffalo is traditionally one of the NFL’s tougher places to play as the season progresses due to the weather. The Bills should hope for some unfavorable conditions Sunday because they have unable to slow down the Colts recently.

Pasquerelli's "Praises of the Unsung"....

"Antoine Winfield:

CB Bills If he was three inches taller, no one would overlook the third-year veteran, who, at 5-foot-9, packs tremendous power in a small package. The big hitter possesses explosive closing speed to the ball."

ESPN | Nov 1, 2001

Bills' coach: Fill seats to beat the Colts

‘But at 1-5 following last Sunday’s bitter 27-24 loss to the San Diego Chargers, the club is facing a stiff challenge to fill all the seats at Ralph Wilson Stadium for five final dates. Of those five, a game against top rival Miami on Nov. 25 is close to selling out and beating the 72-hour television blackout. About 4,000 tickets remain for the Dolphins. However, approximately 14,000 remain for Seattle (Nov. 18) and 20,000 each for Carolina (Dec. 9) and New England (Dec. 16).’

Ostroski practices, may play Sunday

‘"I don’t know yet, we’ll see, there’s a lot of week left, we’ll see what happens," Ostroski said.’

Penalty could have erased kickoff return

‘But upon further review, Bills coach Gregg Williams said Jenkins’ kickoff return quite likely never would have happened had the officials been more alert. Williams said that a San Diego player — he didn’t identify who — threw his helmet to the ground in the field of play after a replay challenge of Travis Henry’s go-ahead touchdown run was upheld, giving Buffalo a 24-20 lead. "That’s classic — that’s a 15-yard penalty," Williams said. "We’re kicking off from the 45."’

Bills hope for warm welcome

‘So will the fickle fans at the Ralph acknowledge that effort, plus the one from a week earlier in Jacksonville where Johnson was solid in a 13-10 win over the Jaguars? "I’m looking forward to coming home and playing and getting some crowd response," Johnson said yesterday. "I think they see what we are doing here and how we are competing and trying to win. I think they will respect that and give us a good homecoming."’

Toronto Sun | Nov 1, 2001

Balance remains Colts' best bet on offense

‘Despite Manning’s presence and productivity, the Colts’ success since 1999 mirrors the leaguewide trend. Consider they’re: 4-5 when Manning has thrown for 300 yards, a record that includes a 3-0 mark when he’s eclipsed 400 yards; 20-4 when James has rushed for 100 yards.’

Indianapolis Star | Nov 1, 2001

Here's hoping that Pathon returns soon

‘Admit it. With the talent on this team, there was no way in the world you thought someone would say something like this: Man, the Colts desperately need Jerome Pathon to come back from his injury.’

Indianapolis Star | Nov 1, 2001

Bills build game plan with James in mind

‘"I’m assuming he’s playing," Buffalo coach Gregg Williams said Wednesday. "He’s answered the bell every time. That’s the kind of competitor he is."’

Indianapolis Star | Nov 1, 2001

Bills QB starting to win over critics

‘"A quarterback is not generally known as a tough guy but Rob showed everyone Sunday that he’s every bit as tough as anyone on our team," Centers said Wednesday following the Bills’ practice. "He laid to rest a lot of questions out there concerning his ability to lead us. The Rob Johnson critics have to be quiet now. They really don’t have much to base their criticism on."’

CP | Nov 1, 2001

Bills defense seeks to make amends against explosive Colts

‘Things are going to be different this weekend as far as the Bills are concerned. That’s because they believe this isn’t the same young and inexperienced unit they were at the start of the season.’

AP | Nov 1, 2001

Mum's still word on James' status

‘Nobody at the Indianapolis Colts is saying Edgerrin James won’t play Sunday. Nobody’s saying he will, either.’

AP | Nov 1, 2001

BillsBeat - October 31, 2001

Ostroski returns to practice

‘While listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game against Indianapolis, Ostroski’s presence was the first sign of good news for Buffalo’s banged-up offensive line.’

AP | Oct 31, 2001

Levy: Flutie vs. Johnson: A tie?

If nothing else was accomplished with the Buffalo-San Diego game, it’s this: The controversy is over. Both Rob Johnson and Doug Flutie played heroically, both played with a lot of character. They fit their teams — be glad the controversy is over. I don’t think either QB came out on top or looking bad, both did great things. Let’s put the manufactured controversy to rest.

Bills, Johnson earn respect but rather have won the game

After taking a 24-20 lead with 1:30 to play, thanks to a courageous comeback effort by Johnson, the Bills in order: allowed a 72-yard kickoff return, allowed Chargers quarterback Doug Flutie to score the deciding points on a 13-yard run.
