Two Bills Drive

‘“Everybody’s got their own opinion. If you ask me, `Do I question the fight?’ No. Guys in this locker room fight and when you look at the tape tomorrow you are going to see guys fighting…In truth, you can’t tell everything from just watching on the sidelines, either. I can sit on the sidelines and say [that], but until you watch that film that’s the only way you can tell. I can speak for the defense. I’m out there with my guys. I know they’re fighting every play. And that’s the bottom line.”‘

‘Buffalo’s defense gave the Redskins nearly no room to operate. Washington tried to run but couldn’t. The pass blocking was as ineffective as its has been all season, with quarterback Patrick Ramsey finally going down with an injury.’

”’A lot of people said that we were lucky,” said Talley. ”Yeah, we may have been lucky, but we were also damn good.”’

‘“We don’t think it’s too severe,” Spurrier said.’

‘Spurrier said Betts was hurt when he was kicked in the arm while blocking during the first half of Washington’s 24-7 loss.’

‘Will the real Buffalo Bills please stand up! Which team is this, The one that quit on their coach and looked like they wanted him fired losing 30-3 to the previously winless Jets or the team that looked like they wanted to play for him forever which was Sunday with a 24-7 pasting of the Redskins?’

‘”(Punter) Brian Moorman really flipped the field for us today. I don’t know how many punts he had today of more than 50 yards, but he did a great flipping the field. Those three guys that got the game balls today. There will be more tomorrow.”‘

‘”You know what, this is an interesting game and for the past month we have not been playing particularly well and we also haven’t gotten any breaks over the last month. I think that when we watched the film there are times when we are trying to get something going and then something negative happens, where something just doesn’t bounce our way. You have to be able to continue to go to work, continue to get better, and then eventually it all evens out. You play long enough and play hard enough, eventually those breaks will come back your way and we got a couple of them today.”‘

‘”We played with a sense of urgency. The offensive line and everybody, myself included, knew that we had to get the running game started because before the season started that was one of the areas we knew we had to be good at and improve in. The first couple of weeks we were not doing it. Today the offensive line blocked great and we knew we had to come out and have a physical game in the run game considering that Eric Moulds was out. We just had to take control and that was what the offensive line, they took control of this football game.”‘

‘”I know a lot of people are not giving us much of a shot going out to Kansas City, but that doesn’t bother this team. We’re working hard, we’re focused in on our goals and going to keep plugging away and hope everything works out for us.”‘

‘”My whole team has been behind me. Playing the same position, we have a little closer bond. He’s been through this, he’s been able to work me through it because he has had first-hand experience.”‘

‘”It’s just as big as any other week. We’ll start back on Wednesday like we do every week, and get after it. We had a good attitude all week, we practiced hard and everyone took it real serious.”‘

‘On the fans reaction to Rob Johnson: “I thought it was going to be a lot worse. You know Rob’s history here. He’s a good man, and I wish him the best.”‘

‘”Well not too much to say, Buffalo dominated the game. It looked like we had a chance to get back in it at 10-7 but we fumbled on the one-yard line, maybe we could have gotten into the ball game. Overall they ran the ball, we couldn’t run the ball very well, and they beat us pretty good. We didn’t have too many yards, had two drives about the whole game other than that we couldn’t get much going. They played well, give ’em credit they dominated us.”‘

‘”It’s obvious it’s frustrating to everyone on this team from the coach on down and anyone who deals with this organization. Words can’t explain how this team feels and how I feel. As far as coming back and playing in front of these fans. It certainly was an emotional experience for me for all the years that I have been here they all have supported my career and I just want to tell them thank-you. It was an honor to be back in this stadium. Also, it was nice to be here when Daryl Talley and to see so many of the individuals that I played with. It was a great treat for me.”‘
