‘Only in America. Only in Buffalo.’

‘The Buffalo Bills will select a pass rusher No. 11 overall in the NFL college draft.’

‘The Tony Dungys of the world are few and far between. Most of the time, successful coaches in the NFL have to have a bit of a malevolent streak in them that makes players tread lightly around them. And this is what Bills fans want.’

‘If coach-for-2009 Dick Jauron can’t figure out the balance, he needs to find an underling who can, as the ignorance of something as simple as the appropriate occasions upon which to throw or pass stands as his regime’s most basic weakness. The calls reeked of offensive coordinator Turk Schonert and, while Jauron may not have been responsible for the calls, he is responsible for what goes on under his watch, meaning he has to find a lieutenant who’s sharp enough to know when the wind is or isn’t the passer’s friend. Either Schonert gets better, or the franchise gets someone else.’
