Two Bills Drive

‘Quarterbacks: Ray Lucas lived every QB’s nightmare, suffering four interceptions and being blamed for two lost fumbles. He was inaccurate, made bad decisions and single-handedly raised appreciation for injured Jay Fiedler. Lucas’ early TD pass and late 17-yard scramble were overwhelmed by his costly errors. F’

‘”When Bledsoe sees one body in the middle of the field, he’s going to throw to the outside,” said Marion, who arrived too late to stop Moulds from scoring. “He’s old school. Anytime he sees [man] coverage, he’s going to try and make that play.”‘

‘It was, perhaps, among the worst games of his career.’

‘”They caught us in the wrong defense a couple of times,” defensive tackle Jermaine Haley said. “We were looking a little more for the pass, and they hit us with the run. You have to give them credit. They were determined to establish the run, and they did.”‘

‘After one start, here’s what we know about Lucas: He’s a much better quote than injured starter Jay Fiedler. And he’s a much, much worse quarterback.’

‘Wannstedt must resolve the Oronde Gadsden situation, make sure Cris Carter doesn’t become a distraction, and make sure Lucas bounces back from Sunday’s disappointing performance in the Dolphins 23-10 loss to the Bills.’

‘In a game like this 23-10 home loss to Buffalo, when Madison said the Dolphins may have needed “more vocal people to go out and light a fire under guys’ butts,” Carter probably would have done that.’

‘”Anytime I have Eric [Moulds] one on one, even against two of the premier corners in the league like the Dolphins have, I feel like that’s a chance for us to win and Eric did.” — Bledsoe.’

‘”It was frustrating at first, but I was being patient and knew the time would come,” Clements said. “I was breaking on the receivers that were coming in my area. Seeing their posture and position, I adjusted my route when Lucas threw it.”‘

‘The Dolphins and Bills both tried fakes in Buffalo’s 23-10 victory on Sunday, and both teams wished they hadn’t.’

‘The Dolphins entered Sunday’s game down key players — and it showed.’

‘”We contained them, we wanted to contain them,” Madison said. “We gave up some big plays. That’s just not the way our defense likes to play. We like give up short routes and try to contain them but they hit us on some big plays and that hurt us.”‘

‘Clements became the first Bill in a decade to get three interceptions in a game, the last time coming in December 1992 when Mark Kelso did it against Denver.’

‘Not the worst in NFL history, maybe, but bad enough.’

‘”I just wanted to be smart about it and be safe,” Chambers said. “There was no reason to take a risk.”‘
