Two Bills Drive

‘”I went to see the doctor yesterday and he said it would be in my best interest to sit down for this week,” Panos said. “But they all agreed if I absolutely had to play and there were no other guards here, I would play. “I don’t like the situation, but there’s nothing I can do about it. I’m going to listen to them.”‘

‘”Did we play a game yet that means something?” asked fullback Sam Gash. “My whole thing about this deal is to wait and see when the season starts to see what we do, what they allow us to do, and we’ll get it done. “Yes, we didn’t run the ball in the preseason, but I can care less.”‘

Look at this piece of idiot analysis:

“You can dismiss any team commanded by a Munchkin at quarterback: Chicago

and Buffalo.” Using logic like this, some guy named T. J. Simers manages to come up with Jacksonville beating Minnesota in the Super Bowl.

To this I respond:

Oh yeah, well our Munchkin beat your Super Bowl Champs last year! How do you explain that! Hmmmmmm?

Sure, the Bills come in at #6 overall here, but the Fish at #2? Get real.

As for the Jets…. look for them around #8.

“There is no quarterback controversy.”

Also, Sal calls Nails (listed 354) as “definitely in the 370 range.”

Panos won’t play vs. the Colts, giving Zeigler the nod. In other news, Wade also has this to say about Anthony Gray “”I pick the team based on all aspects of their play. I like Gray, but I liked the other two guys better.”

Wade finally comes clean and calls Flutie the starter, *but* he also says that RJ will see some playing time. This sounds a lot like the plans instituted for McNabb in Philly and McNown in ChiTown. Perhaps history will look back on the QB Class of ’99 as having a sixth member.

TBD columnist, A. James Nicholas is hot under the collar Bills fans. The new container rules instituted by the Bills this year at RWS are short-sighted at best and a big corporate money grab at worst.

Thankfully, Shout! and TBD have given him a forum to release some steam!

The Bills start the 1999 season with a visit to Indianapolis to play a dangerous Colts team.

TBD columnist, Eric Schweitz, takes a look at the kickoff of the new season – the Bills vs. the Colts!

‘The reason the running game has been lagging is more a matter of preseason strategy than missed blocks, blown assignments and aching muscles, according to Smith. “We haven’t opened up the whole offensive package because we don’t want to show teams what we’re going to be doing in the games,” he said. “We’re limited to three or four runs that we’re trying to execute.”‘

‘The three are fullback Brian Edwards, running back Lennox Gordon and wide receiver Jeremy McDaniel, the team said Tuesday. They were among 13 players cut by the Bills on Sunday. Teams are allowed to keep as many as five extra players for their practice squads.’

‘”It’s nice. They’re my proteges,” Reed says of Moulds and Price. “It’s a sense of accomplishment for me. I try to set an example for everybody here. As far as receivers go, as a veteran, as a leader on the team for a lot of years, you take that upon yourself to be an example. When it comes down to it, the younger guys are going to look up to us veterans. We didn’t stay around this long not knowing what we’re doing.”‘

‘Bills coach Wade Phillips knows why Carpenter is getting ready for the Bills’ season opener at Indianapolis on Sunday and not looking for a job. “He makes plays for us,” said Phillips, who was impressed with the way Carpenter managed to zero in on the ball with special teams and in the defensive backfield. “He caught my eye a lot, and he deserves to be on this team.”‘

‘”When we first announced the creation of the NFL THIS MORNING, we made clear our commitment to having outstanding talent in studio. Hiring Marv Levy is a key step in that direction,” said Terenzio who, along with FSN executive vice president programming and production Arthur Smith, will serve as executive producers for NFL THIS MORNING. “Marv’s years of experience and track record as a winner place him in an elite class among NFL coaches. We’re thrilled to have him on board for both the pregame show and for FOX SPORTS NEWS.”‘
