Archives for September 2001

Clements shows his stuff on TD pick

‘It was only one play, but it was enough to show why the Buffalo Bills made cornerback Nate Clements their first-round selection in the April draft. Clements gave the Bills an early 7-0 lead when he intercepted a Peyton Manning pass intended for Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Marvin Harrison and returned it 48 yards for a touchdown.’

Pushed around

‘Most yards allowed by the Bills: 598 at San Francisco W, 34-31 Sept. 13, 1992…559 at Seattle L, 17-56 Oct. 30, 1977…555 at Indianapolis L, 26-42 Sept. 23, 2001…’

Defensive play leaves Bills’ coordinator speechless

‘And boy, did Jerry Gray have a bad day Sunday. The Colts made him look like a Pee Wee coach, like the rookie coordinator that he is.’

Monday billboard

‘Armed with a lucrative new contract, the regular NFL officials returned Sunday. They made sure everyone noticed, calling 27 penalties for 192 yards. The Bills tied a team record with 19 penalties, and they deserved most of them.’

Offensive showcase

‘Indianapolis’ 42-26 victory was an exercise in offensive excess. The Colts piled up 555 yards. They averaged 9.3 yards a play. Aside from the first down of every series, they never huddled. They never punted.’

Harrison makes Bills pay for their 1-on-1 defense

‘The Indianapolis Colts running back knew Buffalo would crowd the line of scrimmage with defensive manpower Sunday in the RCA Dome. "They weren’t going to let me run the ball if they could help it," he said, referring to the Bills’ tendency to crowd the line with safety support. And James knew one of the by-products of that pick-your-poison approach would be significant one-on-one opportunities for wide receiver Marvin Harrison. "Can’t play Marv one-on-one," said James. "Give him one-on-one, and Marv is dangerous. Today just showed it."’

Colts, Bills get tangled up in altercations

‘"They hit us in the mouth. We hit them in the mouth," said Peterson.’

Bills ashamed by their performance

‘"I shook my head a lot," Winfield said. "A few of those plays were on me. I was real frustrated. We just couldn’t stop them from moving. I don’t think they punted one time this game."’

Lifestyle change helps Pathon on the field

‘For now, at least, defenses have to be concerned with Pathon. When Sunday’s game began, Buffalo was focused on stopping Harrison, who didn’t catch a pass until 2:27 remained in the first quarter. By then, Pathon had caught four.’

Emotion plays a big role in NFL’s return

‘"I’ve never heard or felt anything like that," said Colts cornerback Jeff Burris. "There was so much emotion from the teams, from the fans. In eight years (four as a visiting player and four with the Colts), I’ve never heard it so loud in here. The noise was just piercing. It was as if everybody wanted to show their pride as a country. Everybody, from the players to the fans, they wanted to show what we’re about."’

Defense keeps it close before offense takes over

‘Three plays after Clements’ interception, linebacker Kenyatta Wright covered a fumble by tight end Ken Dilger at the Colts 35. Three plays later, Bills punter Brian Moorman trotted onto the field. The Colts defense held — two Rob Johnson incompletions, a 1-yard toss to running back Travis Henry — and the lead remained 7-0. "It was really big for us to come out and not even let them have a field goal," said strong safety Chad Cota. Given a reprieve, the Colts’ offense responded by scoring touchdowns on its next six possessions.’

Patriotism abounds

‘Nobody wore more red, white and blue than four friendly fans sitting in front of their Dodge minivan with New York license plates. They were located at the edge of the South handicapped lot near the main entrance between gates 2 and 3. They were members of the Buffalo Bills Booster Club.’

An Indy 500 romp

‘Four mistakes. Four touchdowns.’

Football helps us heal, but Bills are really ailing

‘"We talked a good game," veteran wide receiver Eric Moulds said. "But we didn’t play it."’

Bills’ performance discouraging

‘I’m starting to wonder what "46" defense stands for. Does the 46 represent the target score the Bills are trying to keep their opponents under?’
