Two Bills Drive

‘Mo, Larry and Curley would have fit right in. Charlie Brown and Lucy, too.’

‘"We scrapped the throws down the field, anything that had to stay in the air for a long time," Bledsoe said.’

‘The weather at Ralph Wilson Stadium didn’t faze Doug Flutie.’

‘Those who bet the over were snowed under as the 37-point line was close to unapproachable in such conditions.’

‘After looking impressive gaining 66 yards on 20 carries, Redmond went down in the third quarter with a twisted right ankle. He did not return and was on crutches after the game.’

‘Siberia may be colder and the Himalayas may receive more snow, but it’s impossible to imagine conditions more miserable than they were at Ralph Wilson Stadium about 4:45 p.m. yesterday…’

‘The conditions couldn’t have been much worse, but the outcome couldn’t have been any better.’

‘"That kick is supposed to be automatic. But it’s not that way from a holder’s perspective. On a normal day, it’s not bad. It’s an easy catch. But, the way the wind was blowing today (yesterday), it was weird.’

‘"They got smart in what they started running (in overtime)," Bills quarterback Doug Flutie said of the Pats’ performance in the extra period. "They ran unders and crosses and got guys running.’

‘With all flights canceled and the Buffalo airport already closed, the Patriots and Bills were two bad teams going nowhere Sunday, both literally and figuratively.’

‘By kicking the ball hard and low to outwit the wind, Johnson punted great – a 42.3 average in horrid weather – clearly outdoing Bills punter Chris Mohr, who averaged only 29.1.’

‘But in the 41-year history of the Bills’ franchise, it is unlikely there has ever been a day that combined cold, wind and snow as fiercely as Sunday.’

‘"I know we aren’t going to the playoffs this year," Pats coach Bill Belichick said. "But when you walk in the locker room, you can see this game meant a lot to these players."’

‘Rob Johnson once again couldn’t finish what he started.’

‘Drew Bledsoe is not known as a running quarterback, but he used his legs on an icy field to set up the game-winning kick by Adam Vinatieri.’
