1. Continued smart, disciplined football. Under McDermott this team has really cut down on penalties, especially the dumb, unnecessary varieties.(minus Richie's now customary two holding penalties per game)
2. Pressure from the front four. If they can get consistent penetration and push up the middle and keep Ryan uncomfortable, I fully expect two picks from the secondary.
3. Tyrod being.....Tyrod. Doing one of the things he does best, and that is protecting the football, and not turning it over and giving Matt Ryan extra drives. A nice cold Marty Ice is great way to keep the Falcons from getting into an offensive rhythm.
4. Getting Zay Jones involved early - and often. Once this kid starts catching a few passes, his confidence level is gonna spring back up, and next thing you know he'll be our number 1 receiver, and Tyrod's go-to-guy.
5. A Buffalo victory. That's right, I said it, I'm EXPECTING a Bills victory Sunday. I fully believe that McDermott has this team headed in the right direction. I've finally bought in. With that said, and the way he has this team playing, I expect the Bills to win Sunday.
6. To sit with smug satisfaction tomorrow afternoon around 4pm, knowing that my confidence in this team, and belief that they would win, was justified.
Go Bills!
