Two Bills Drive

‘According to figures compiled by Nielsen Media Research and WIVB-TV, the CBS affiliate, ratings for Bills’ games are up 30.5 percent from a year ago.’

Moulds & Price rank 1-2 in the NFL in receiving yards with 525 and 493, respectively. Moulds is also #1 in the NFL in receptions with 41 and Peerless is #2 in the AFC and tied for third in the NFL with 35 receptions (St. Louis’ Marshall Faulk 38 and Tory Holt 35). Moulds leads the NFL with 15 catches (255 yards) on third down and is also #1 in the league in catches for first downs with 27 (Price is second in the NFL with 25).

‘The Bills are on pace to give up 576 points, which would smash the team record of 454 and the NFL mark of 533.’

‘You knew the defense had its shortcomings, but did anyone think they would be on pace to break the National Football League record for points allowed in a season?’

‘Being left-handed, Moore won’t be able do any long snapping. Starting tight end Jay Riemersma assumed that duty after Moore went down and will likely get most of the work this week.’

‘”We’re still a confident group,” linebacker London Fletcher said. Nobody is quite sure why.’

‘Hasn’t anybody heard that the best defense is a ball-hogging offense? It wouldn’t have hurt for Kevin Gilbride to slow Sunday’s game down and attempt to change the tempo, especially when it was clear Jerry Gray’s defense couldn’t plug a wine bottle with a cork.’

‘So, while the Bills are in no position to get cocky, it seems like a remote possibility that Buffalo won’t take a 3-3 record into the showdown against AFC East leader Miami on Oct. 20.’

‘But Moore broke his left hand in the third quarter of Sunday’s loss to the Oakland Raiders and is questionable for Sunday’s game at Houston. Moore could play with a soft cast and perform as a blocker.’

‘"Let’s just say I set a new sack record this year. I’m not going to become a free agent and all of sudden want to go play for Buffalo again. That’s not going to happen. I don’t have a desire to go up there and play for them. It just didn’t work out. So be it. I’m just going out there to do the best for me and my family. I couldn’t care less what they think."’

‘Will Wofford, Hull’s teammate for seven years, said he wouldn’t have missed Hull’s induction for anything. “Kent was the first friend I made in Buffalo. There is nowhere I’d rather be,” said Wofford. “He was the leader of the offense, even though Jim Kelly got all the publicity. Kent was the one who pulled it all together.”‘

”’Right now it’s very discouraging because we’re not getting the job done as a defense,” linebacker Keith Newman said on Monday. ”(The offense is) putting us in a position to win. In my opinion, the worst we should be as a team right now is 4-1."’

‘Bills tight end Dave Moore broke his left hand and is questionable for Buffalo’s game at Houston this weekend.’

‘Buffalo’s defense surrendered six of the seven Oakland touchdowns and yielded 495 yards, most of it coming in large chunks (10 Oakland plays covered 20 yards or more).’

‘Those 80 points – scored in a span of 41 minutes – were the most in a non-overtime Bills’ game since a 47-34 Buffalo victory at Miami in 1993.’
