A few random thoughts on week 3

[BmarvB]

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. The bills were both Sunday. That was a big time win in a game they were expected to lose.

 

Glad to see TT silence his critics for at least a week. Granted he's not a HOF level QB, but all he has to do is be good enough to get the job done and get us a win - and he did that! I think he could run the old K-Gun offense of the 90's. He moves the team well in the 2 min drill. They should consider incorporating it

 

Welcome back defense! They're back to where they were before Rex ruined it. Front seven tougher on the run than before, and this revamped secondary is quite a pleasant surprise. Tre White got his rude welcome to the NFL in the first half, and came back strong in the second half. Glad to see him get his first INT. More to come later. Dr Poyer & Mr Hyde are a nice combination at safety, and EJ Gaines is pretty solid at corner. Granted the corners can be made to bend, but they don't break.

 

Breaking news - We have a kicker! Starting to like this guy.

 

WR's may not be making many plays, but the few that are making are big, and at just the right time. Still more will be needed from them going forward since defenses will be highly focused on stacking the box to contain Shady.

 

Sometimes Rick Dennison's play calling has Nate Hackettt 2.0 written all over it, but his use of play action and rollouts was magnificent

What was Vance Joseph inhaling when he called for that fake punt? That would have worked against last years Bills, but not this group. They're better disciplined.

 

They're not committing as many penalties as they used to, but the ones that they do commit .... SMDH
Some of the calls (and non calls) were shaky, but the call on Von Miller was a back breaker. Totally unexpected call. Broncos shot themselves in the several times with penalties, and out O-Line was caught holding several times too. Miller & co gave them hell and drew a few flags on them.

 

Can we do it again in Atlanta next week? YES! Will we? Well, I guess we'll have to wait until Sunday. Until then. WE still have a piece of first place in the AFC East. Hang on to it guys. The pats are starting to show their age.

GO BILLS!
