Two Bills Drive

Jack Elway retired last year as the Broncos' director of pro scouting.

‘The Bills have four of the top 95 picks in the draft and will address pressing needs on the offensive and defensive lines and at cornerback.’

‘The customers have turned the page. So should the owner.’

‘Armed with the 14th pick in the first round, 10 picks overall and a track record that can match or beat that of any talent evaluator in the game today — including John Butler, the man he replaced — Donahoe is promising Bills’ fans he will deliver.’

‘Partly to stop the jumping to conclusions, to help the media understand the organization’s thinking, and to show that he isn’t as dull as his TV persona, the personable Donahoe is hosting some informal off-the-record luncheons with the media.’

‘As if fans weren’t already excited about next season’s game between the Buffalo Bills and San Diego Chargers, the National Football League is going to make them wait nearly half the season to see it.’

‘Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson has known for some time where he wants to his exact his revenge, now he knows when.’

‘The Bills’ first three games are against teams that made the playoffs — New Orleans, Miami and Indianapolis — and with the latter two on the road, the Bills will be hard-pressed to get off to a good start.’

‘Bills owner Ralph Wilson continues to take shots at former Bills GM John Butler, who bolted to San Diego for more money. Doug Flutie and Rob Johnson couldn’t get along in Buffalo, so the first thing Flutie would love to do is stab Johnson in the back by winning on his native California turf.’

‘Two of the Bills games will be broadcast nationally on ESPN: at Jacksonville on Oct. 18, marking only the second time Buffalo has played on a Thursday night, and at San Francisco on Dec. 2.’

‘The NFL schedule will be out today. Here’s what we know now. The Bills will play at Miami on in Week 2 at 1:00. The Jets will be in Buffalo on Oct. 7 at 1:00 and The Bills go to NY on the last game of the year on Dec. 30 at 4:05’

14: Bills, Marcus Stroud, DT Georgia

Stroud is not the 14th-best player, but he is what the Bills need in terms of size and strength at defensive tackle. Why wait?

‘Rob Johnson is making excellent progress in his quest to learn the new West Coast offense that Williams is installing… Johnson threw the ball well and seemed to have a grasp on what was going on. Since then, he has shone brightly in meetings and throwing sessions and Williams is excited about the way he has picked things up.’

‘Buffalo Bills 8-8, Damione Lewis DT Miami (Fla.); Bills need a replacement for departed NT Washington.’

‘The NFL will be releasing it’s schedule today at 2:00 pm. Stay tuned to TBD to get your first glance at the Bills’ schedule. TBD will soon be picking the game for readers to attend our annual tailgate party. Last year we had fans from as far as Alaska and San Diego attend!’
