Two Bills Drive

‘That said, Arians should start collecting his unemployment checks this week.’

‘"It’s frustrating," Williams said. "The guys played well enough in some situations to win it, but we didn’t." "Some" is the operative word here.’

‘While Fiedler and his teammates were bouncing back, the Bills were finding news ways to get bounced.’

‘The offense was much improved, the defense regressed and special teams looked like Ronnie Jones was still coaching here.’

‘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."’
