Two Bills Drive

‘Pat Williams on the offense’s minimal contribution: “When you hold a team to 10 points, you’re supposed to win the damn game.”‘

‘”Most of them got here for the kickoff, but we didn’t get here till after the first quarter,” Koch said from the stadium parking lot after the game. “We held out for the new bus, and we had a woman driver who took us here at 80 mph. It was wonderful.”‘

‘I’m trying to think if Rob Johnson, or even Todd Collins looked as bad as Bledsoe has for the past seven games.’

‘Not good would be one way to describe the play of quarterback Drew Bledsoe.’

‘At this point, the Bills must ask themselves whether they really want to activate the final three years of the contract they inherited from the Patriots after next season.’

‘Bills QB Drew Bledsoe: There is no other way to describe his performance but to say it was pathetic. He passed for just 104 yards on 34 attempts, an incredibly dismal 3.0 yards per attempt.’

‘Drew Bledsoe flunked his exam against his former teacher, Bill Parcells, completing just half of his 34 attempts for a mere 104 yards. Worst, he fumbled on two of the three times he was sacked, his first setting up the only TD Dallas would need. Was 2 of 8 for 1 yard in the fourth quarter when game was there to be won. Where’s Rob Johnson when you need him?’

‘The rest of the game, he was chased, sacked, hurried and generally harassed into a dreadful performance. Against a constant blitz, Bledsoe never could connect with his open receiver to force the Cowboys to back off. Even when he had time, it looked like he was in a hurry.’

‘Going against Newman and Mario Edwards, Moulds left Sunday with five catches for 32 yards, and Bledsoe had 104 yards passing. The Bills passing game looked as bad as the Redskins’ the week before.’

‘To ensure Buffalo would be fooled by the run fake, Parcells put two tight ends and two fullbacks in the game. Carter faked a pitch left and rolled right, where he threw a pass to Campbell, who was open in the back of the end zone.’

‘Buffalo quarterback Drew Bledsoe went to pieces in the face of the blitzes and failed to produce a touchdown in a 10-6 loss to the Cowboys at Texas Stadium.’

‘Carter averaged fewer than 4 yards per pass attempt. The reason that didn’t spell defeat was that Drew Bledsoe averaged fewer than 3.1 yards per pass attempt and fumbled twice on sacks.’

‘Murrell finished with 76 yards on 16 carries, including a game-clinching 17-yarder on third-and-8 from the Dallas 40 with 1:09 left in the fourth quarter of the Cowboys’ 10-6 win against Buffalo. “That’s one of the best feelings in the world,” Murrell said. “They were trying their hardest to keep us from getting that first down. And it wasn’t like it was third-and-1 or third-and-2. It was third-and-8, and we got a first down. It’s just a great feeling.”‘

‘Punter Toby Gowin had five of his eight punts downed inside Buffalo’s 20-yard line.’
