NFL switches Bills-Colts game to 1 p.m. start

‘The game was originally set for 4:15 p.m. The Bills believe the earlier time is better suited for their out-of-town fans to travel to the game.’

Tagliabue, Kelly among nominees for Pro Football Hall of Fame

‘Kelly, fellow quarterbacks Bernie Kosar and Jim McMahon, tight end Keith Jackson, offensive linemen Ray Donaldson and Guy McIntyre, defensive linemen Ray Childress and Sean Jones, linebackers Darryl Talley and Clay Matthews and kicker Nick Lowery are former players eligible for the first time.’

Kickoff times changed for three NFL games

The kickoff times for three November NFL games have been changed, the league announced. The changes are to accommodate CBS and FOX broadcast patterns.

11/04 Cleveland at Chicago 4:15 -> 1:00 CBS

11/04 Indianapolis at Buffalo 1:00 -> 4:15 CBS

11/18 Chicago at Tampa Bay 4:15 -> 1:00 FOX

Bills’ Johnson could be Texans’ QB in 2002

Take Pompei’s comments for what they are worth…..Of course, Jake Plummer, Drew Bledsoe, Akili Smith or Charlie Batch also could be starting for the Texans next season. Johnson, if exposed by the Bills, would be enticing because Texans offensive coordinator Chris Palmer had success with him as coordinator in Jacksonville and always has held him in high regard…

Flutie shows knack for last minute win

‘"As tough as it is to lose a ballgame like this at the end," Williams said, "I thought our guys grew up today. But we’re still our own worst opponent."’

It’s a Bills deja vu all over again as victory slips away

‘Johnson had to work for every point and almost every yard the Bills got. With Buffalo’s running game stuck in neutral and its offensive line alternately missing blocks and getting caught holding, he had to overcome obstacles emanating from both huddles. Flutie got a huge break late in the third quarter, when he was ruled down at the 1-yard line on Bryce Fisher’s sack, which clearly put both his knees and the ball in the end zone. Referee Tony Corrente’s mysterious decision (how does one possess “forward progress” when tackled while going backward?) kept the Chargers up by three and prevented a huge momentum shift.’

Johnson gets respect

‘"I thought Rob played better than Flutie today," he maintained, adding, "besides the last play that Doug made." Of course, to Flutie fans, that’s like saying the Titanic had a marvelous voyage…except for the iceberg.’

San Diego beats Bills 27-24

At worst, Rob Johnson battled Doug Flutie to a draw in Sunday’s quarterback derby at Qualcomm Stadium. Unfortunately for Johnson and the rest of the Buffalo Bills, most of the rest of the key plays in San Diego’s 27-24 win were made by men wearing Chargers uniforms. “This is right up there with the Tennessee game — it hurts that much,” Johnson said. “This game was huge for us. We were playing a lot of our old teammates, with Mr. Butler there and his scouting department — it’s Bills West.”

Former Bills QB saves Chargers in fourth-quarter

‘Bills owner Ralph Wilson: If this really was his Super Bowl, at least he’s used to losing them.’

Conway the man, at least this week

‘Sunday was Conway’s to carry the load. In every department, it was a splendid day for the USC graduate. His team won, while Buffalo’s Rob Johnson —- his quarterback for two years with the Trojans —- had a remarkable individual performance in defeat. "Rob’s a friend of mine," Conway said. "He did a great job. I’m happy for him."’

Chargers’ Wiley feeling like prom king

‘"But it was just special to see those guys. To see your friends, your homeboys —- people you used to be with for four years now, and then you get a chance to go against them. It was really great."’

Bills’ Johnson gives gutsy effort, but it’s not enough

‘Whatever perceptions lingered about Johnson —- a laid-back Southern California boy —- as too soft and injury-prone for the NFL should have been left on the Qualcomm Stadium turf Sunday, right next to the quarterback’s sweat and blood.’

QBs make both teams look good

‘While Buffalo and the Chargers played a corker of a football game here Sunday, nothing was decided between the two quarterbacks. If anything, it reinforced the decisions that each club made prior to the season. Buffalo was correct in keeping Rob Johnson. The Chargers are ecstatic that Doug Flutie is running the show here.’

Seau won’t shuffle off against Buffalo

‘Seau was on his game, collecting seven tackles, a sack and a pass defensed. He did much of it limping around like a guy with a rock in his shoe.’

Flutie finds a way to beat Bills

‘Shaking off a foot injury and the effects of some vicious tackles, Johnson led Buffalo from a 10-point deficit to a 24-20 lead with 1:30 to play. Poor special teams play, a foolish penalty, Flutie and a blocked field goal ruined his big day.’
