Two Bills Drive

‘All of the players would much prefer having all the snaps to themselves, but it looks like the Bills will continue rotating the linemen for the rest of the season.’

‘Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Jamie Nails, arrested on a driving-while-intoxicated charge Monday, could face a fine of up to half of one week’s salary if convicted of the offense, according to the National Football League’s policy for alcohol-related offenses.’

‘There’s even a Canadian element to the Flutie v. Johnson debate with some at WGR pointing a finger at Canadian callers for fanning the Flutie flames.’

‘The irony of the whole slimy mess is that if everyone involved would take a deep breath and assess the situation calmly and rationally, they might see what a complementary tandem Flutie and Johnson present.’

‘There’s a better chance of O.J. Simpson finding "the real killer" than there is of Phillips making a definitive statement about his starting QB.’

‘Cottrell was in Providence, R.I. for meetings with the Bills prior to the New England Patriots game last Sunday. He has made no secret of his desire to become a head coach — in the NFL.’

‘If it comes down to winning and making plays, it would be hard to argue against Flutie.’

‘The Bills’ pair of inside linebackers rank among the League’s elite in second-year pro Sam Cowart (weakside) and former-Illini John Holocek (strongside).’

‘Even though Flutie continues to deny he anonymously made negative comments about Johnson in a recent article in Sports Illustrated, Johnson doesn’t seem to buy it.’

‘I suggest to you as Americans, as Buffalonians, as people who care about great injustices in the free world, that before deciding on the less worthy and voting for his opponent, to visit NFL.com and pick a candidate who has made a better case and campaigned more diligently than anyone. Uncle Sam. Sam Cowart. He wants your vote.’

‘That’s my position to play on the defense and help the team win," Wright said. "It’s real encouraging that I can help the Buffalo Bills and contribute to those wins."’

‘Buffalo Bills offensive linesman Jamie Nails was arrested on a charge of driving while intoxicated early Monday, according to East Aurora police.’

‘"You play hard for four quarters and you don’t expect anything less," said Sam Cowart, Holecek’s partner at inside linebacker. "The offense was kind of sputtering a little bit in the second half and we knew we had to turn it up.’

"I don’t know if we’re a real good team that’s lost some close games or a real bad team that’s won four in the last second," Phillips said moments after the Bills snuck out of Foxboro Stadium with a 16-13 overtime win.

‘The Bears will get their first indication Wednesday morning. The Bills’ starting quarterback is scheduled to be on the weekly teleconference call.’
