BillsBeat - October 8, 2001

Lewis turned loose to shake up the defense

‘"We wanted to put a little more heat on this week," Cottrell said after his happy homecoming to western New York, where he orchestrated Buffalo’s defense the last three years. "I told Mo we were really going to call his number today. I wanted a good response and he gave it to us."’

Jets notes

’10 — Number of his 22 career starts that Bills quarterback Rob Johnson has not finished.’

Don't be fooled by score; Bills stunk out The Ralph

‘If you just saw the score and didn’t actually watch the New York Jets’ 42-36 win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, you’d probably figure it was a very competitive game. Maybe even an exciting shootout. Wrong and wrong.’

Niagara Falls Reporter | Oct 8, 2001

Bills slow start could boost Sabres ticket sales

‘Can there be a benefit to the Bills 0-3 start? Though no one involved would ever publicly admit it, there is a good chance the Sabres can gain some fans.’

Bills Stumble to Defeat for the Ages

‘Buffalo’s season of football futility reached historic depths Sunday during the New York Jets’ deceptively close 42-36 win over the Bills at Ralph Wilson Stadium. The Jets tied the the 26-year-old record for points scored by a Buffalo opponent in a non-strike game played in Orchard Park. Mo Lewis’ 15-yard fumble return, New York’s second defensive touchdown, with 1:46 left in the third quarter equalled a standard set by the Baltimore Colts during a 42-35 win in 1975. The Indianapolis version of the Colts, filled with picket-line crossers, ran up a 47-6 win during the 1987 player’s strike.’

5th Down: Duty to perform

‘Bryce Fisher heard it first while driving to the stadium. When he arrived at the Buffalo Bills’ training complex around 1:30 Sunday afternoon, he talked to a few other teammates who had heard the same thing on their radios: Two days shy of four weeks after the World Trade Center and Pentagon bombings, the United States had fired back. Cruise missiles were soaring toward Afghanistan. An act of war had been reciprocated, with the promise of more to come.’

Turnovers cost Bills in loss to Jets

‘Offensively, Buffalo turned in its best performance of the season with 36 points, as Alex Van Pelt came in for an injured Rob Johnson and completed 21 of 37 passes for 250 yards and two touchdowns. Johnson suffered a back strain and a pinched nerve as he was hit in the back of the head by Lewis late in the first quarter and did not return.’

Bills can't 'turnover' a new leaf

‘They lost big for a fourth straight week but found a new way to do it against the New York Jets. They inflicted most of the damage to themselves.’

Buffalo News | Oct 8, 2001

Bills' receivers play catch-up

‘Overall, the Bills passing game had 325 yards through the air. Although much of the yardage came late in a 42-36 loss to the New York Jets, it was what the Bills had in mind when they installed the West Coast offense.’

Dominant Lewis mows down Bills

‘Lewis was ready for the Bills. They weren’t ready for Lewis.’

Lights are going out on the Bad News Bills

‘That’s the sort of year it’s become. Dark. Dank. Depressing. Seasoned Buffalo Bills fans can feel it in their bones – a troubling chill, beckoning from back in the ’80s. You wanted to believe in this team, but there is no mistaking it now. The Bills are very bad, as bad as they’ve been in a generation.’

Buffalo News | Oct 8, 2001

If it weren't for bad luck, Johnson wouldn't have any

‘Whether Johnson belongs here is no longer a relevant topic; here he is, like it or not. More worrisome is whether he will leave here intact. How many times can his head be scrambled before the damage becomes enduring? Will every morning of his later years begin with the joints of his battered body screaming in defiance? And, while we’re at it, let’s also consider whether there has been a Bill more prone, no, not to injury, but to widespread misfortune.’

Buffalo News | Oct 8, 2001

Henry cracks 100-yard barrier

‘Even though the Buffalo Bills were playing catch-up throughout their 42-36 loss to the New York Jets Sunday, Henry was able to do some damage with 113 yards on 19 carries.’
