First two pages are all about Taylor. Tributes to Taylor are fine but there were two teams involved this weekend which some sports writers forgot.
15. Buffalo (6-6). Since Sept. 30, Buffalo is 6-3 -- and those losses have come to Dallas, New England and Jacksonville. Combined record: 30-5
Special Teams Player of the Week
Buffalo K Rian Lindell. Buffalo led this game for four seconds. Those were the ones that counted, because they were the final four seconds of the day. The Bills had seven second-half possessions, and Lindell ended five with field goals from 38, 43, 24, 33 and 36 yards. A brilliant performance in an emotionally charged stadium.
Quote of the Week I
"We realized you can't call that second timeout right away. Not a lot surprises me in this league. But I do have empathy for Joe. He is one of the giants in our game, one of the great coaches of all time. It's unfortunate.''
-- Buffalo coach Dick Jauron, on the extra timeout called by Gibbs, which reduced the distance of the game-deciding field goal by Lindell from 51 to 36 yards.
3. I think I have no problem whatsoever with the Redskins playing 10 men on the field for one play. In fact, I love it. Of course Gregg Williams should have told Joe Gibbs about it, but if you can't pay tribute to your best player by doing something very special on one of 1,000 defensive plays of the season, then we all need to get a life. "We needed that,'' London Fletcher said. "You may not have seen the 11th player out there for us, but he was there. Sean was there.''
e. Buffalo defensive tackle Larry Tripplett made one of the prettiest diving interceptions of the year at Washington ... and he weighs 308 pounds.
f. When I watch the Bills, I feel like I'm watching a bunch of guys who would play football for free.
g. The chants of "Joe must go,'' was shouted by some Redskins fans after the horrible loss to Buffalo. Not now, people. Not the time or place to whack a coach, or to talk about whacking a coach.
