Two Bills Drive

‘The Bills have a slim chance for a playoff berth, which makes them dangerous. Quarterbacks Drew Bledsoe and Brett Favre could get into a shootout. Take the Packers because they’re at home and still battling for overall home-field advantage.’

‘With nothing to show for the selection of Flowers, the Bills struggle rushing the passer. "They don’t have a guy who can legitimately put his hand on the ground and get consistent pressure off the edge," one scout said.’

‘The Bills will be motivated and undaunted by the weather. However, they’re overmatched by just too wide of a margin along both lines to suspect that their dangerous but immobile quarterback, his stable of excellent wide receivers and underrated Travis Henry could be enough to spring an upset.’

Weekly Column by Chris Serico… The group selected the Bills for excellence in fan treatment, after it became obvious the Florida-based association couldn't pick their hometown Dolphins. Because, honestly, when the Bills twice fried the Fish during the regular season, Miami fans could not have been too happy with their team.

Any team looking to beat the Green Bay Packers needs to get through Brett Favre first. And that's no easy challenge.

The 33 year-old quarterback is a sure-shot Hall of Famer. He's an especially dangerous foe for a struggling defense, which gives the Bills both a threat and an opportunity: If Buffalo's defenders can shut down Favre, that's a huge boost heading into New Year-playoffs or not.

As for the history and mystic factor of Lambeau Field it becomes the perfect setting for a match-up of this caliber. This game is more than a battle for post-season position. It has all the makings of a showdown between two of the NFL's elite quarterbacks- Drew Bledsoe and Brett Favre.

I don’t fault the call (2 point VIking play) at all, even if it didn’t work. We played that great comeback game against Houston, and we were still down by 17 points or so in the third quarter and we had a fourth-and-8. I decided to go for it because I felt we needed to score, and we hit a touchdown on it. Many of my assistant coaches were screaming at me for it, but I decided to go for it. Not the same exact thing, but it’s all relative to a coach’s intuition.

‘Obviously, no player is in position to publicly criticize the head coach. But on and off the record, many genuinely seem to like and respect Williams.’

‘”I think he’s making the same throws, but sooner or later the pace we were on earlier in the season had to catch up with us,” tight end Jay Riemersma said. “Some of the throws that we were completing early in the season aren’t easy throws, and we haven’t been able to complete some of them recently.”‘

”’Travis is such a unique player with his ability to run through tackles and make the extra yard,” Bills quarterback Drew Bledsoe said. ”I’ve got a great seat to watch him.”’

‘”I don’t know who’s side to shade to, to be honest with you,” Sharper said Friday. “Price and Moulds can go deep or they can go underneath, and Reed is working that slot pretty good. We’re just going to have to challenge these guys.”‘

‘”You tell the people of Mississippi that there’s never been a player who wore the Buffalo Bills uniform who is loved by the fans and the community more than Kent Hull and his wife, Kay.”‘

‘For Brown, it is his seventh Pro Bowl selection, which ties Andre Reed and Steve Tasker for second most in franchise history. Only Bruce Smith, who went to 11 Pro Bowls, has more.’

‘Price has said in the past that remaining with the Bills is his first choice because he loves the offense and playing with his teammates, and he puts up numbers similar to most first-option receivers. But he’s also expressed the desire to become the featured wideout, and with the Bills that position belongs to Moulds.’
