Two Bills Drive

‘If Buffalo winds up a single game shy of a playoff spot, some Bills fans will blame MacAulay’s painfully zealous crew. Their conspiracy-minded brethren may even dredge up the old "the NFL hates Buffalo because it’s a small-market" theory. Both groups may take some consolation from their rationalizing, but they’ll be wrong. If the faithful need scapegoats to help them come to terms with an otherwise unexplainable and unwarranted loss, here are a pair of names — Ron Edwards and Peerless Price.’

Chiefs quarterback Trent Green, not known for his mobility, darted nine yards up the middle for the go-ahead touchdown with 4:45 to play. “A lane opened up, so I took off,” he said. “Then I saw those guys closing hard. So I just closed my eyes and dove as hard as I could.”

Question on the Bills: What’s happened to their offense in the past two games?

It’s difficult to keep up offensive momentum when the season changes from October to November to December. No matter where you play (except for San Diego or a domed stadium), you’ll face weather conditions that will challenge your productivity. Also, teams are preparing better for the Bills. But the change in weather will affect many offenses as the season continues.

Buffalo’s 8:42 drive in the third quarter was the team’s longest since a 10:55 drive at Minnesota on 10/22/00 (resulted in a 25-yard Steve Christie FG)…the Bills had three drives of 15 plays at Kansas City, marking the first time that has happened since 1988 when drive distances started being kept officially. The only other time the team had two drives of 15-or-more plays in a game was 11/10/96 at Philadelphia when the Bills had 16 and 15-play drives.

The eleventh and final Buffalo Bills' high school football "Coach of the Week" for the 2002 season will be awarded after the final weekend of play (Nov. 28-30) in the 2002 season. Therefore there is no winner for this week.

Drew Bledsoe was 24 of 36 for 225 yards and became only the fifth man in NFL history to pass for more than 3,000 yards in his first 10 games but it wasn't enough as the Bills lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, 17-16.

‘Warfield baited Drew Bledsoe into throwing the ball. He knew the Bills quarterback wanted to go deep. He also knew he could stay with Buffalo receiver Peerless Price. So he backed off on the coverage a bit. “I wanted Drew to think he was open,” Warfield said. “I wanted him to throw that ball up, because I knew I could get it.”‘

‘…they let a winnable game get away on the road.’

‘If someone had told Gregg Williams his defense would hold Priest Holmes to 3.4 yards a carry, Tony Gonzalez would manage just two catches and Travis Henry would gain 164 total yards, the Bills coach would have packed a couple of bottles of Dom Perignon for the plane ride home. "It feels like one got away," said Bills defensive end Chidi Ahanotu.’

‘The Bills made him the focal point of the offense Sunday and he delivered, averaging a robust 5.3 yards on 24 carries. He also had 38 yards on four pass receptions.’

‘"We’re going to fight hard. This is not over." No, but it’s not looking all that promising, either.’

‘The game plan forced Bills quarterback Drew Bledsoe to be more patient and settle for shorter throws over the middle.’

‘The Bills were credited with 101 yards of total offense during a third-quarter drive, thanks to three penalties. And they came away with only a field goal.’
