‘"Case in point right now is Jay Riemersma. He’s a solid tight end, but he gets Tony Gonzalaz money. Next year, his cap hit is $4.5 million. There was no reason to give both Doug Flutie and Rob Johnson $25 million contracts when they were already under contract."’

‘His treatments don’t allow him to get out on the road to scout college talent, something he loves to do. But he still spends hours looking at film and discussing personnel. He also travels to every road game on the team’s charter plane.’

‘Moorman leads all AFC punters in online voting by the fans. He is second in the AFC and third in the NFL with a 43.3-yard average on 50 punts. His 35-yard net is fifth in the conference.’

‘Back in 1984, the first of Buffalo’s back-to-back 2-14 teams surrendered an ungodly 454 points. That embarrassing figure seemed safe for generations to come, but in yielding 365 points in 13 games — second-most in the NFL behind woebegone Cincinnati — this year’s Bills are on pace to surpass the 1984 team’s incompetence.’

‘Wiley won’t use the injuries as an excuse, saying that if your cleats touch the grass, you gotta blast. But there’s no question it has been a tough year for him.’

‘”I love Moulds,” said Harrison, the Chargers’ two-time Pro Bowl strong safety. “He fits the mold of Terrell Owens. But Peerless, time and time again on film you see him making big plays and running away from people. As a rookie you could tell he had talent, but he’s really come into his own. He’s one of the best receivers in the league right now.”‘

‘Along those lines, Christie is trying to get his teammates ready for the Buffalo cold. “I’m telling guys every day, `It’s 35 degrees, it’s 36 degrees, it’s going to snow, be ready, bring your gear.’ It’s as simple as that,” Christie said. “I just hope somebody listens to me.”’

”’Hindsight is 20-20, and you can’t question the decision because we got points out of it,” Price said. ”If we go for it and don’t get it, then he’s wrong for going for it.”’

‘Jennings, hurt in last weekend’s 27-17 loss at New England, missed his second straight practice on Thursday and was unable to bend his heavily bandaged ankle as he made his way through the team’s locker room.’

Selected in the fourth round of the 1979 NFL draft, Jeff Nixon demonstrated right away that he felt it was very important to be prepared.

"At that point in the game it was still early in the third quarter, it was 20 to nothing and we had just put together a really nice drive to march it down there. The thinking at that point, I didn't discuss it with Gregg (Williams) but my thinking was we need to get points out of this drive."

Eric Moulds is still friends with Doug Flutie, even though the quarterback is playing – or sitting the bench – on the West Coast for San Diego. Here’s what Moulds had to say about Flutie.

"The perception of Buffalo from the outside world is not real strong. You think of a bunch of snow, nasty weather, New York people and all that stuff. But it’s really been great. This area is a very family-oriented place; people are friendly and they kind of leave you alone. It’s almost like playing ball in a college town. They support the team. They’re not fair-weather fans.”’
