Two Bills Drive

‘"He told Ralph Wilson to send the Buffalo Bills stuff to him so his kids could wear it."’

‘Now, with free-agent signings that bolstered Buffalo’s depth chart at linebacker, kicker, tight end, on the offensive line and in the return game, along with this year’s draft choices, Donahoe has already remade the Bills into a team that will bear little resemblance to last year’s 3-13 disaster, regardless of what their new uniforms look like.’

‘The Bills are anticipating around 100 members of the media, including a large contingent from the Boston area, to cover the event that will take place in the field house. ESPN News and Empire Sports Network plan live coverage of the news conference at approximately 2 p.m.’

‘Fans of the 3-13 team have been energized by the deal; they flooded the Bills with season-ticket inquiries the day of the trade, which caused the team to keep the box office open through the night.’

‘Drew Bledsoe will receive a hero’s welcome today in Buffalo, as the Bills will hold a rally for the former Patriots quarterback in front of the team’s administrative offices in Orchard, Park, N.Y.’

Alexander earned offensive honors for his role in the Frankfurt Galaxy’s 54-14 win over the F.C. Barcelona Dragons. Alexander rushed for a league season-high 192 yards and three touchdowns on 23 carries.

Most of the FA have been mentioned over the last few days, but the 2 cuts seem like news. Hill played in 31 games since 1999 and started 13 last season at SS. Graham was picked up last season and kicked the final 6 games. I don’t think either release is a surprise.

‘The defense has holes, and you have to wait and see about things like chemistry and injuries. But Bledsoe makes the Bills better.’

‘The downside is so much greater for New England. They just gave up a 30 year old quarterback, who holds just about every one of the team’s passing records, and as good as he was on the field, he was even better in the community. They are gambling on a guy named Brady, who I will admit had a tremendous season last year. But, they better hope he’s not a one hit wonder, or gets hurt early in this season.’

‘Drew Bledsoe doesn’t make the Bills an instant Super Bowl contender. But he does accelerate the rebuilding effort by warp speed, by turning what was a glaring weakness into a positive. He also gives the Bills the legitimate “star” they’ve been missing that helps sell tickets.’

‘"I think the Bills are going to be a great organization to play for," said Coy. "They’ve been very positive from the beginning."’

‘"I think if they give him a chance that he’ll show them that he can play in the NFL. He’s got great speed and he’s very quick. I think he could make it as a wide receiver. But I also think he could make it as a kick returner. I think they really got something in Rodney if they give him a chance to show himself."’

‘Ferguson, who walked on at Tech and became a four-year starter, doesn’t plan to disappoint in Buffalo. "I’ve said all along that all I needed was to get my foot in the door and I’ll do the rest," he said.’

The response from Bills fans and football fans everywhere has been enormous. In a poll on buffalobills.com, 82 percent agree that the move was an "excellent" one. Since the deal, the site has been flooded with visitors and emails, reaching record-high numbers over a 48-hour period.
