‘"I’m frustrated just like every other guy here," Moulds said. "I’m used to winning. One and eight is not something I want to get used to. I’m used to helping the team win, and I feel like I’m not a part of that right now."’

Bills' running game can't find its stride
‘In four of the last five games, the Bills have failed to crack 100 yards rushing as a team, and the only time they did surpass the century mark — against San Diego — 67 of their 105 yards came via the scrambling of quarterback Rob Johnson.’
Bills pay price for mediocrity
‘The Bills have been penalized 10 more times than their opponents and have lost four out of five replay challenges.’
Bills, Cowart working on a contract
‘The Bills are obviously reluctant to lavish a huge signing bonus on a player who has struggled with injuries, so the tiered bonus would be a way to protect the team.’
Simpson's No. 32 should be retired
‘Would he accept the invitation and how would the fans react? I believe he’d return because he seems to genuinely believe most people still adore him.’
The quarterback knows he has a special friend
‘Tuesday, Fiedler was with four teammates and his agent to promote a new cause. The emcee, Jim Mandich, called Fiedler a "stand-up guy” for showing up two days after the loss to the Jets, lowlights of which were shown during the luncheon. Fiedler wasn’t here to talk football, but to stand up for Ellie — daughter of his agent Brian — and kick off the Reach for the Stars Foundation to Benefit Children with Cystic Fibrosis, which got a $25,000 kick-start from sponsor Funny Bagels Inc.’
Gardener back woes: watching and waiting
‘Meanwhile, the Dolphins will continue to use Ernest Grant and Jermaine Haley in Gardener’s place. Vice president of player personnel Rick Spielman said the team has no plans to sign another tackle even though they have only Grant, Haley and Tim Bowens at that position healthy enough to play.’
Pressure, blame...Fiedler will take it all
‘Fiedler has 15 interceptions, second-most among NFL quarterbacks, and three lost fumbles. He’s responsible for 18 of the Dolphins’ NFL-high 26 turnovers.’
Grant will start; Haley can't rest
‘It usually takes more than one man to block Daryl Gardener, so it shouldn’t be surprising it’s going to take two Miami Dolphins to replace him Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. With Gardener sidelined because of a back injury, second-year pro Ernest Grant will make his second career start. He had four tackles in last week’s 24-0 loss to the New York Jets.’
Bills' Brown relfects on team's dismal start
‘It’s hard to get up in the morning and come back here knowing you’re 1-8 and more than likely seeing who you’re going to draft next year, rather than looking at making it into the playoffs."’

Dolphins quarterback blames himself for turnovers, loss
‘"My job is to take that pressure and be the scapegoat of the offense, whether that is the case or not," Fiedler said. "I’m going to take everything on myself, and say it is my fault every time."’
Bills' O'Leary out for season
‘Long snapper Dan O’Leary will miss the rest of the season for the Buffalo Bills because of torn ligaments in his right hand and thumb.’

CBS Consensus - Bills over Miami
Jay Glazer & Pete Prisco predict the Bills to upset the Fish.
Harmon Forecast has Miami winning 21-13:
The Dolphins’ defense will win this one, because their offense is having problems — even against defenses as weak as the Bills’. After losing twice to Buffalo in ’99, Miami won twice last year.
Cowart, Bills talking new deal
‘Cowart will become a free agent when the four-year contract he signed as a rookie in 1998 expires at the end of the season.’
