‘”I could understand if it was Peyton Manning,” Robinson said. “But J.P. Losman? That’s embarrassing.”‘

‘J.P. Losman…Grade A: The game we’ve been waiting for.’

‘Eveyone talked about how this could be the coming out game for J.P. Losman. It turned out to be everything anyone could ever imagine for Losman but it also turned out to be the coming out of a bonafide all star in Lee Evans.’

‘Lee Evans has set a franchise record with 205-yards receiving in the first quarter. Evans total was the most by a receiver in a quarter since Qadry Ismail of the Baltimore Ravens with 210-yards back in 1999. He finished the game with 11 receptions for a total of 265-yards.’

‘The defeat was a bitter one for several reasons. To start, the Texans erased an early Bills lead, and dominated much of the action after the first quarter.’

‘It was déjà vu all over again for Peerless Price as he gave the Bills a come from behind victory in Reliant Stadium. Down 21-17 with 15 seconds left Losman delivered a 15-yard strike in the back of the end zone to Price on a 2nd-and-10 play that beat a cover-two zone by Houston. Price deftly dragged both feet before falling through the back of the end zone.’

‘With the Texans leading 21-17, the Bills got the ball back with under two minutes to play. J.P. Losman moved the team down to the Houston 15 with just 15 ticks on the clock after a 19-yard completion over the middle to Lee Evans. After spiking the ball to stop the clock, Losman fired a 15-yard TD strike to Price, who leaped to catch the ball and kept both feet in bounds in the back of the end zone to make it 24-21 with nine second left in the contest.’

‘J. P. Losman came through when he absolutely had to. So did Peerless Price.’

‘Buffalo’s Lee Evans set a franchise record with 205 yards receiving in the first quarter of the Bills’ game against Houston on Sunday.’

‘Houston quarterback David Carr tied an NFL record with 22 consecutive completions Sunday on the same field where Mark Brunell set the record earlier this season.’

‘Just now, the Bills aren’t going so well, but they are acting wisely, as a team with which Levy has an association would. They have some young people and they are playing them, all the while permitting quarterback J.P. Losman to gain experience. Well done, I say.’

‘"You’ve got to keep on fighting," Losman said. "As slow as it seems right now, it does seem like we are going in the right direction. We all feel that way. We all feel we’re much better than we’re performing right now."’

‘Bills, 19-16.’

‘”I think that Brian being involved in track and field has helped him from the standpoint that he’s trained to be explosive,” said Buffalo Bills special teams coach Bobby April. “He’s trained in terms of his flexibility and speed. He’s a tremendous athlete, which was validated with the track success he had and the great things he’s doing for us as our punter.”‘

‘By all means, get O.J. off the wall. Simpson has gone too far. He is a national disgrace. The Bills should take his name down and strike a blow for human decency.’
