Bills vs. Colts Postgame

I don't think that's the case based on what the players said after the game. They indicated that they were not prepared for what the Colts did on offense with new looks that they hadn't seen on film. Each time the defense adjusted, the Colts would throw something new at them that they weren't ready for. The Bills were simply out-coached based on what I heard.

Agreed. He has it easy as a broadcaster by comparison with plenty of time for his family and to pursue his passion for playing golf.

The 5 year (realistic) plan for this team

That's a plan to get fired for not seeing results fast enough. -

NFL Week 7 Grades: Lions get an 'A' for big road win; Jaguars get an 'F' for ugly home loss Indianapolis 37-5 over Buffalo Bills: F This game is what happens when you start a quarterback (Derek Anderson) who's been on the team for less than two weeks and your best offensive player (LeSean McCoy) goes down with an injury in the first quarter. The first half was a total disaster for the Bills as every single one of their possessions ended with either a punt or a turnover. The Bills defense has been good enough to keep most games close this season, but not this week. Buffalo got steamrolled for 220 rushing yards. Colts: A This game was basically just one gigantic highlight reel for the Colts. Not only did Andrew Luck throw four touchdown passes, but Marlon Mack also rushed for a career-high 126 yards. Thanks in large part to Mack, the Colts totaled 220 yards on the ground, which was their highest rushing total since 2007. Of course, the only thing more impressive than the Colts' offense might have been the Colts defense. The Colts forced five turnovers against the Bills, the team's highest total since 2010. In somewhat of an oddity, the only player who wasn't perfect was Adam Vinatieri, who missed two extra points. -

What We learned from Sunday's Week 7 Games New England Patriots 38, Chicago Bears 31 1. Down 38-31 with two seconds remaining, Mitch Trubisky needed a 55-yard Hail Mary to force overtime. A back-from-the-wilderness Kevin White corralled Trubisky's 54-yard rainbow only to be tackled by a swarm of Patriots just shy of the goal-line. It was that kind of day for Trubisky, who did more damage with his legs than his scattershot arm. Even though the Patriots defense made his scrambling ability a focal point all week, Trubisky improvised his way to 81 rushing yards, the second-most by a quarterback versus New England in the Bill Belichick era. In true Trubisky style, the box score belies his erratic ball placement, perhaps best exemplified by Jonathan Jones' one-handed interception on a pass that might have gone for a long touchdown had it not been slightly underthrown to rookie Anthony Miller inside the Patriots' 5-yard line. Chicago's defense and special teams will have to shoulder their fair share of the blame as well. After dominating the season's first month, the Bears have allowed 69 points to the Patriots and Dolphinsover the past two weeks. With all-world edge rusher Khalil Mack playing through an ankle injury, this formerly stingy unit simply can't get off the field in key situations. Might the coaching staff take a chance on resting Mack with the sluggish offenses of the Jets and Bills on the horizon? 2. Thanks to strong special teams play, the Patriots overcame a pair of lost fumbles by Cordarrelle Patterson and Sony Michel that placed them in a 17-7 hole early in the second quarter. Patterson quickly earned redemption with a 95-yard kickoff return, the sixth such touchdown of the return ace's career. Linebacker Kyle Van Noy broke a 24-24 tie in the middle of the third quarter, scooping up Dont'a Hightower's blocked punt for New England's first touchdown of that nature since 1996. Due in large part to the special teams scores, the Patriots reached at least 21 points by halftime and 38 points total for the fourth consecutive game -- the latter figure setting a new franchise record. This is an injury-ravaged offense yet to click on all cylinders, but the team is finding ways to move the chains, generate big plays and outscore opponents on a weekly basis. The Pats travel to Buffalo for a date with the reeling Bills before hosting Aaron Rodgers and the Packers in Week 9. 3. Already playing without All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski, Tom Brady seemed destined to continue leaning heavily on the backfield tandem of James White and rookie Sony Michel, gashing the Bearsdefense on an eight-play, 75-yard touchdown drive to begin the festivities. That plan was dashed when Michel's lower leg was twisted on the second-quarter play which resulted in a lost fumble. After posting three straight games of 100 or more yards, Michel was quickly downgraded from questionable to out, a sign that he may be unavailable for the foreseeable future. The Pats have already lost Jeremy Hill and Rex Burkhead to injured reserve, leaving recently re-signed scatback Kenjon Barner to function as the between-the-tackles complement to White for the game's final three quarters. Look for New England to add a power back this week, perhaps re-signing Mike Gillislee. White was the offense's player of the game, accounting for 97 yards and a pair of touchdowns on a regular-season career-high 19 touches. Although the connection between Brady and Josh Gordonremains sporadic, the former Browns wideout led the team with 100 yards on four receptions, including a tackle-breaking 55-yard catch-and-run that set up White's 2-yard touchdown catch to cap off a nine-play, 96-yard drive late in the fourth quarter. Gordon's importance to Brady's aerial attack is growing by the week. -- Chris Wesseling

The Marquee Matchup of Week Seven: NO vs. BAL
26CornerBlitz replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
What We Learned from Sunday's Week 7 Games New Orleans Saints 24, Baltimore Ravens 23 1. Sunday's matchup featured the league's top scoring offense against the top defense, and the game came as advertised with a hard-fought battle on both sides. The Saints, however, came out on top after putting up 24 points and surviving Ravens kicker Justin Tucker's first career missed extra point in the waning seconds of the game. The 24 points scored by the Saints represent the most the Ravens have allowed since the Cincinnati Bengals scored 34 in Week 2. The Ravens entered the day allowing just 12.8 points per game. Quarterback Drew Brees led the charge, completing 22 of 30 passes for 212 yards and two touchdowns as the Saints improved to 5-1, winning five straight games. Sunday proved historical for Brees as he entered the game with 499 career touchdown passes. Brees joined the NFL's exclusive 500 career touchdown club in the second quarter on a 1-yard TD pass to tight end Benjamin Watson, then added a 5-yard scoring strike to wide receiver Michael Thomas in the fourth quarter. Brees, who now has 501 career touchdown passes, became the fourth quarterback in league history to join the 500 Club along with Peyton Manning (539), Hall of Famer Brett Favre (508) and Tom Brady(504). With the win against the Ravens, Brees also became the third quarterback in league history to defeat all 32 teams, a feat previously accomplished by Manning and Favre. 2. While he fumbled at the Ravens' 6-yard line, Saints backup quarterback Taysom Hill continues to prove he is 100 percent a football player, not a gadget player. The Saints look to utilize Hill in a variety of offensive packages, including lining up as a tight end to block. All Hill does is produce, either taking snaps and running or getting down the field on special teams. Against the Ravens, Hill gained 35 yards rushing on six carries and produced two tackles while covering kicks. Hill has the full trust of Saints head coach Sean Payton. And it's a virtual certainty Payton, one of the league's brightest offensive-minded coaches, will continue to seek ways to work in Hill on any give play. 3. Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco put his team on his back with 2:03 remaining in the game and facing a 24-17 deficit. Flacco engineered a six-play, 81-yard drive, capped off by a 14-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver John Brown. On the game, Flacco completed 23 of 39 passes for 279 yards and two touchdowns. Following Flacco's last touchdown pass, all the Ravens needed to send the game to overtime was for Tucker to do something he's done 222 out of 222 times on his seven-year career: make the extra point. Unfortunately, Tucker's kick sliced wide right, leaving a stunned wide-eyed expression on the two-time All-Pro and two-time Pro Bowl selection's face. -
