‘Trent Edwards finished 16 of 31 for 152 yards and an interception. QB rating was 52.1. Grade F: Three straight games with no touchdowns.’

‘It just can’t get any worse. They cancelled the halftime ceremony to give Ralph Wilson his hall of fame ring. If the owner can’t walk on to the field with his name on it we have hit rock bottom. Jauron has to go even though it really won’t change anything.’

‘”I sincerely believe that all NFL teams are better on the whole than even the best NCAA teams, but I think if you let the LSU defense and Texas offense took on the Bills, well, it would be a very interesting game. Interesting like finding out what would happen if you glued your hands to a ceiling fan. Interest is a funny term.”‘

‘The Browns are victorious today even though their starting quarterback Derek Anderson only completed two passes the entire game.’

‘Buffalo was their own worst enemy on offense committing a total of 13 penalties for 75 yards with nine false starts on offense. Every offensive lineman was called for at least one penalty in the game, though not all of them were enforced.’

‘Trent Edwards was 16-of-31 for 136 yards and a pick for the Bills (1-4), who have dropped three in a row.’

‘Cundiff’s kick ended an offensive display of ineptitude between the Browns and Bills in a how-bad-was-it game.’

‘Lewis, who missed the past two games with a hamstring injury, was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday but participated fully on Friday and was listed as questionable. The 30-year-old Lewis had just 25 rushing attempts in the team’s first two games — both losses — and has 95 yards and no touchdowns. He has also caught four passes for 55 yards this season.’

‘Mitchell, who did not return, hurt his right knee when he was bowled over by two Browns linemen while attempting to tackle running back Jerome Harrison on a sweep left. Mitchell lay on the field for several minutes and was unable to put any weight on his right leg as he was lifted onto the cart.’

‘The Bills were without safeties Bryan Scott (ankle) and Donte Whitner (thumb) for the second straight game. Left tackle Demetrius Bell returned after missing last week’s loss in Miami because of a groin injury.’

‘”I’m going to see him (today) and he’ll give me an update,” said Posluszny. “Hopefully it’s just a couple of more weeks before I get back, but everything is healing fine and I’m on schedule.”‘

‘Wilson traded Jason Peters, because he didn’t want to pay top dollar. He cut Langston Walker, a $25 million mistake, to save money. He saved money by not bringing in a veteran linebacker and leaving Jauron without any experienced backups. Looks to me as if saving money was a bigger consideration than saving Jauron’s job.’

‘Some fans entering the stadium will be given pink ribbons. The coin for the coin toss and the ceremonial football for the pregame activities will be pink. So will the Buffalo Jills’ jerseys and pompoms. Fans also will see pink goalpost padding, pink ribbon logos painted on the field, pink towels on the sidelines and Bills coaches clad in pink-rimmed hats.’

‘Bills, 23-13.’

‘Do you think the Bills’ current decade of futility has him down? Hah! “Not at all,” Johnson said. “I’m certainly in denial. Every season I absolutely believe we’re going to win the Super Bowl. I think all good football fans have to be in denial.”‘
