Texans’ good drafts made Mario expendable

‘Four of the last eight picks the Texans have made in the top two rounds of the draft have gone to pass rushers, and a fifth went to an inside linebacker with good blitzing ability. That’s a pretty good strategy in a league in which top quarterbacks pass like mad.’

Fouts, Eagle train their focus on Bills for CBS

‘”I usually like to wait to see him in person before I give too much of an assessment,” Fouts said. “I know that, like any quarterback, he’d like to cut down on the turnovers. And, if he does that then the Bills have a good chance of winning. But the history has been, with the turnovers, it’s tough to overcome at times.”‘

Buffalo Bills aware of challenge in Houston Texans

‘”I will feed you the line of one game at a time and all that, but 3-6, obviously the chances go way down,” Fitzpatrick said of making the playoffs. “These next few games for us are huge. They all are, but especially going out, being on the road and facing tough opponents. These are going to be games that really kind of set us up for the rest of the season, good or bad.”‘

Buffalo Bills have been losers since firing Wade Phillips

‘During that period, at a time when two other head coaches in the AFC East were named Bill Parcells and Jimmy Johnson, the Bills went 29-19, were in the playoffs twice and were a “Music City Miracle” away from going to the Super Bowl.’

5 things to watch for during Bills – Texans

‘The Bills usually come off their bye week and play quite well under head coach Chan Gailey. However, the Texans are also coming off their bye week and have had an equal amount of time to prepare for what Buffalo might bring to the table. In the end, I think this is too daunting a matchup for the Bills’ run defense to fix the problems of the past few weeks. That, combined with a stout run defense for the Texans may ultimately lead to the Bills demise.’

Bills wary of Texans’ Mega-Watt

‘”He has got great quickness,” Gailey said. “He is an extremely quick football player. He does not play just your normal way that defensive linemen sometimes play. He will jump around a block, but then he is quick enough to go close his gap off. He is good enough and strong enough to close it down the traditional way. He is a dynamic football player. He really is. He is high energy, but he is a very unique player in the way he plays the game.”‘

Pears, McGee likely to miss Sunday’s game

‘”They did something yesterday, they’re seeing if that takes any effect and then they’ll make a decision from there,” coach Chan Gailey said of the treatment by doctors on Pears, who had surgery on the groin-hip area in the spring. “We’re gonna see if he can move around at all between now and game time and then we’ll make a decision.”‘

Bills GM concedes Fitz not the future

‘Nix was refreshingly frank when asked about the Bills’ struggles on offence and without naming names made a clear reference to his quarterback.’
