Bills make plays late, give Fewell first win

PrintFor the first time in recent memory, the Buffalo Bills were the ones putting a team away late in the fourth quarter in their 31-14 win over the Miami Dolphins.
A career-long 56-yard field goal from Rian Lindell put the Bills up 17-14 with 3:40 left in the fourth quarter. On the ensuing drive, Chris Kelsay applied heat to Chad Henne, who floated a pass that was picked off by Drayton Florence with 2:43 remaining. Everyone thought the Bills would try and bleed some clock on their possession, but Ryan Fitzpatrick had other ideas. The starting quarterback audibled at the line of scrimmage and threw a perfectly-timed deep ball to Terrell Owens for a 51-yard touchdown to ice the game with 2:31 left. Interceptions by Donte Whitner and Corey Mace sealed the deal.
The Bills' offense was not without their faults on the day, as Fitzpatrick was picked off once and sacked six times. New addition Kendall Simmons had what I'll politely call a rough outing at right guard, giving up two sacks and getting in on the penalty party by jumping offside once.
Fred Jackson got the start in the backfield for the Bills today and picked up 73 yards on 15 carries. Fitzpatrick cemented his status as Buffalo's starter with a big day, throwing for 246 yards and the long touchdown to Owens. Fitzpatrick also started the Bills' scoring by rushing for a 31-yard touchdown on a broken pass play.
Buffalo's defense allowed Ricky Williams and the Dolphins to march down the field early. A Chris Draft interception on an ill-advised Williams goal line pass thwarted the first Miami drive, but Williams amassed 115 yards rushing and a touchdown on 27 carries. Henne was 17 of 30 for 175 yards, including a touchdown pass to Brian Hartline and the three late picks.
The win moves Buffalo to 4-7 on the season and to a short week to prepare for the 5-6 New York Jets. That game will be played at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, and will be broadcast on the NFL Network. The Dolphins fall to 5-6 on the season, and this loss severely hurts their playoff chances (which couldn't make me happier).

Ryan Vickspatrick
seriously Ryan was absolutely inspiring today. I was completely wrong about Edwards. I see now that Edwards never cared and Fitzpatrick might not have the natural talent but he gives all he has on the field.

Agreed....Edwards just got the Jauron pulled over his eyes. I feel bad for him.
I think Polian must have put a curse on the Bills when he left. Anyone know where we can get a live Buffalo to sacrifice on the 50 yards line? Or, maybe we should use a Dolphin ??? Preferably, Nick Buoniconti
Simmons also had a hold
Not a good day for him

Yes, but he was the lead blocker on a number of Freddie’s running plays up the middle. Give him a chance to learn the playbook and figure out who he has to block in pass protection and I think he is going to be a big help.
Does he need to look at the playbook to know the snap count or know not to hold? But yes, I don’t think he had as horrible a game as he could have coming in and playing in that situation.

so why does Runyan need to now take 3 weeks to get in shape before he plays for Chargers?
According to John Clayton, “The plan is for Runyan to get in football shape over the next three weeks and then see if he’s ready to play as a starter or in a rotation during the final three weeks of the regular season.”

so all that training camp stuff and team conditioning is irrelevant. Just work out on your own; show up Tuesday and play Sunday. Easy game. I guess it’s just those defenses that get gassed.
You just went from saying a guy was sitting on the beach to saying that training camp is irrelevant. Both are completely false, and whatever point you were trying to make is now completely lost on me.

Depends on your definition of “better.” More talented? 100% yes. But it became clear that Fitzpatrick was the better quarterback for this team when Trent had his little meltdown at the end of the Titans game.

Trent has more arm strength and can be more accurate, but that’s it. Fitz makes better and quicker reads, has better scrambling ability, appears to give more effort and generally has much more game awareness. Trent’s problems are all in his head, literally, but that does not necessarily mean they can be corrected. Maybe concussion-related, maybe not.

mostly agreed, except on armstrength – from what i’ve seen, i don’t think there’s any difference. If there is, i’d lean in the direction of fitz.
then again, maybe that’s because i’ve actually seen fitz throw it down the field.

One thing I absolutely can’t stand about Trent is his “hinged-elbow” thowing motion. Somethimes I think Trent looks like a dart player. It’s all kinds of awkward, to me. I know it’s only the results that matter, but those are fugly, too.

I'm just so happy!
4th quarter madness!!!! In our favor. The bomb to Ownes has a great call, playing to score/win at the end of the 1st half was refreshing. FG instead of punt, Jackson touchdown at the end…. Just everything we should have been all season.

It’s simply fantastic that Buffalo stomped Miami! The only thing that would have made it bette would have been a pick 6 on Miami’s last drive just to add some unnecessary points to the pile.
Here’s a thought: If the Pats salt away the division early, which is now more than likely, they may wind up playing some scrubs week 16. In theory, Buffalo could avoid being swept by any division rivals this season.

Personally....
If Perry can humiliate the Phish like this, twice a year, he’s the coach I want for the Bills.. I know…. I know… But what about the rest of the league?
I don’t care.. Beat the fish, and I can die a happy man….
Seriously though… Great job, and weren’t those tears of joy I saw on Perry and a few players?
I am with ya
You could see the attitude of the team was different and their confidence grew as the game went on. It was nice to see Fewell working the sidelines. You could tell he was into the game. My wife and I went to the bar to see the game. I was ready for a big helping of humble pie. Who knew I would be serving it :-)
I think Polian must have put a curse on the Bills when he left. Anyone know where we can get a live Buffalo to sacrifice on the 50 yards line? Or, maybe we should use a Dolphin ??? Preferably, Nick Buoniconti
Who Needs Shanahan?
The Bills proved today that they have a lot more talent than most people had given them credit for. The team does not have to be entirely blown up and rebuilt from scratch. Nor does it need a $10 million/year celebrity coach to do well (although I would still be happy with Cowher). It’s too early yet to know for sure if Fewell is the answer, but a really smart experienced GM to manage personnel and a smart dynamic young coach will do wonders for us.
I agree...
and have been saying for a long time, it’s the coaching, not the players… DJ the QB career killer is gone, this team has talent, and almost any coach, with a couple players added in, can get us to that next level and beyond…
We have a lot of talent, even on the much, maligned defense, and isn’t it amazing how strong that D looked when the TOP was almost even??? The play of the O under DJ simply wore those guys out, but when the offense can work the clock a little, give them a break, our D OWNED the fish in the 4th!!!!
The D did look good, but let's remember the Fins are struggling.
and I am still not a fan of the T2. we need some big boys in the middle of the line.

It’s interesting that the Bills brought in a 365 lb. DT this past week for the practice squad and Perry Fewell was crowing about it and talking to the media about how he would like to have someone in the middle who could engage two blockers, etc. I’m beginning to wonder if the problem there was Jauron. It was also striking how the CB’s were playing more man coverage than usual. So far as I can tell Fewell is still a T2 guy, but he may be willing to modify more now that Jauron is gone.
Agreed.....good points.

At least half of those can be attributed to Fitzpatrick getting antsy in the pocket (hard to blame him) and stepping up directly into defenders’ waiting arms.

that’s funny. Trent was blasted for backing up as the pocket collapsed, people claiming that he needed to move ahead a step. Now Fitz is wrong for stepping up. Wow. I’ll take Fitz’ judgment calls over Trent’s any day.

I didn’t say Fitzpatrick was wrong – hence the “hard to blame him” I threw in parentheses. Nor was I trying to make excuses for the O-Line, because they weren’t great today. But they were better than the god-awful we’ve gotten accustomed to; they hovered somewhere between “mediocre” and “remember Will Wolford?”

the line wasnt better. Fitz does a better job of managing his time in the pocket than Edwards. Under pressure, Fitz tends to take a step forward or to the side in order to buy a little time instead of running for the hills like edwards and Losman used to. If you watch film of the best QBs in the league I think you will find that most if not all, make these kind of small steps to buy time instead of panicking and rolling out etc
by Polish Lover on Nov 30, 2009 12:00 AM EST up reply actions
No, the line was definitely better. Take a look at our rushing stats for proof.
Yes, Fitzpatrick does better in the pocket than Edwards does, but that isn’t saying an awful lot. I feel like you think I’m bashing Fitzpatrick, and I’m absolutely not – he played a hell of a game yesterday.

are you sure the difference in the running game wasn’t the fact that Fred started and didn’t spend all day subbing for Lynch? I’ll wait to see Ron’s breakdown prior to agreeing the O line played better. Fewer penalties, yes. Fitz took 6 sacks, I’d bet that Trent would have taken double that amount.

Talent
Could it be the Dolphins don’t have that much talent? They have no playmakers on O and there defense is just a bunch of guys.

My thoughts on the thing
is that [Phins] run all the way down the field, show the run, use it and laugh in your face, until the redzone, where they just do completely unnecessary trickery (AKA Gimmick) and pay the price for it. Hell, Ronnie has no business running that play. And Ricky hardly even uses the Wildcat, considering it isn’t even necessary really.

no lack of talent
I have never agreed with the masses who say the Bills have no talent on the team. They have a lot of talent, some of it inexperienced but… Jauron was so conservative in his approach that he smothered what he had. His t-shirt practices have led to injuries. notice after two weeks under fewell we had the first game in a long time with no major injuries. Why? Because the Bills were dictating instead of allowing the other team to dictate a la Jauron. If you look around the league right now, many of the dominant teams are being led by younger more energetic coaches. Perhaps with new ideas? I see a guy who is able to make the most out of what he has in Fewell. I love his straight forward approach in press conferences. (gotta love the gonads comment) I also have to believe that TO loves this guy…
by Polish Lover on Nov 29, 2009 11:53 PM EST up reply actions
the law of averages said we were bound to have a healthy game eventually.
and i dont recall injuries being a big problem under jauron before. Finally, no amount of conditioning keeps Pozlusny’s arm in one piece, Wood’s leg in one piece, etc etc.
I think a lot can be blamed on Jauron, but guys getting walloped then injured probably isn’t his fault.

ARE YOU F’ING KIDDING ME!?!?!?!?! THEY’S BEEN A BIG PROBLEM SINCE HE’S BEEN OUR HEAD COACH!!!!!!
We broke the freaking record (or came damn near it) for games missed to injuries the year he took over as head coach. We were decent our second year, horrible last year again. And this year we’re on pace to breaking our own record! Injuries have been a HUGE problem for this team.
And your right, no amount of conditioning would have help Puz or Wood, but you can’t possibly tell me that the nagging muscle and joint injuries that seem to follow this team around (McGee, Stroud, Williams, Owens, Fine, Lynch… the list goes on) don’t have anything to do with conditioning. All of those are 2, 3, 4 game injuries that have BIG impacts on our team and could be entirely avoided with better conditioning programms.

Brian is right about what I meant.
And I’m with you on some of the conditioning injuries, but how exactly does conditioning keep McKelvin from hurting his ankle, or Lynch’s shoulder injury or Fine’s knee…
I’m all for saying guys who are out of shape tweak muscles and stuff like that, but it doesn’t matter how strong you are if somebody hits your knee or lands on your ankle.

One difference between Perry & his predecessor
Perry’s personal coaching style seems to be less averse to rolling the dice and gambling a bit more.
I like it.
You can’t make plays if you don’t roll the dice (occasionally, at least).
If we start providing some serious competition for our division rivals, this team might actually start going places. There are numerous areas to fix yet, but this game was an encouraging thing today. A bright spot in the season, at least.
Get the Bills back to the big game!

He already knows that he’s not the choice for the job next year. Dick was coaching for his job.
by twoeightnine on Nov 29, 2009 11:53 PM EST up reply actions
disagree
Fewell is absolutely in the running for the job next year. In fact, I would say that that the odds are close to 100% that if he can beat the Patriots the job is his. For those of you who think Ralph Wilson always screws things up, he might just screw this up by bringing in somebody for their name when he has a great coach under his nose. Granted this is 2 games in, I wouldn’t pull the trigger on Fewell unless he wins at least 3 of the last 6. Voctory over the Patriots=instant hire

Yes he's in the running
but it’s not his job. He goes balls to the wall and fails that’s not what cost him the job. He goes balls to the wall and wins then he’s got a chance. He plays it safe and conservative like Dick then he’s gone without question because it’s the same ol’ same ol’.

In my eyes i think that Fewell is trying to save his DC job.
I mean he has to know that the FO is looking at offensive coachs to be the next HC. So his firmiliarity with the players as well as the team, combined with the fact that he specializes in a domain that our next HC will not (deffense) means that if he does a good job as interim HC he actually has a good shot at keeping his DC job next year.
Personally I’m actually rooting for him to stick around.
by CanadianBillsFan on Nov 29, 2009 11:58 PM EST up reply actions
i dont think so
Fewell’s only chance of staying in Buffalo is if he is hired as head coach. If a new coach comes in, don’t expect to see any of the current coaching staff here. possible exception woudl be Bobby april who Wilson has made a sub-clause of coaching deals in the past.

Making plays
Fitz made multiple plays with his arm, legs and head. It is fascinating to watch a QB with limited skills but is a player. You could not ask a guy to do much more than he did today. Drayton and Whitner made plays. Schobel and Kelsay made plays. Lindell and Mormon made plays. Of course, Fred made plays.

lame excuses
K- you clearly had it wrong on the Trent vs Fitz thing. the question is not whether you think Fitz is the ultimate solution for the Bills or a great QB. The question is: Is Fitz better than Trent Edwards?
by Polish Lover on Nov 30, 2009 12:08 AM EST up reply actions
Huh?
Clearly had what wrong? Both guys still stink. Fitz has played pretty well in two games now. What about before?
Why does it matter so much to you that someone was wrong about something? I said both QB’s stunk and I still feel that way.

"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
Fitz has thrown two games in a row that are better than pretty much every game that Trent has ever played in. Fitz is now 3-2 in games where he played the majority of the snaps for the Bills while Trent is 1-5. Here’s a stat for you: T.O. has 14 catches for 293 yards and two long scores in the past two games after making just 26 receptions for 366 yards and 1 touchdown in his first 9 games. credit fewell but also credit fitz. both long td’s were audibles recognized by fitz. he also has big gonads according to fewell

i didnt ask you if both qb’s stink. you said quite dramatically the other day that Edwards was clearly better. seems like fitz is proving you wrong week by week. we can wait another week if you still want to be stubborn though. its cool.

Where did I say that the other day?
I haven’t talked about Edwards in weeks.
Trent stinks. Just because Fitz is playing a little better now doesn’t mean he isn’t a very mediocre QB too. Why can’t I continue to have the opinion that Fitz isn’t all that good? I’m sorry you disagree with that, but his career proves that these last couple games should not be expected often.
Seriously, bud, what’s your problem? I’ve told you that I think both stink and
I’ve already credited Fitz for making plays. What else do you want me to do, send him a Christmas card?

"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
well said
remember Jim McMahon with the Bears? He was not a good QB but he did make plays. There have been many in that category. They are football players at the QB position.
Troy Aikman, Terry Bradshaw and Joe Namath all come to mind.
None of them had stellar stats or were the most deserving QB’s to win but they all got the job done.

Also, the game thread board was “closed” last I looked, so I’ll answer here about the game on TV Thursday against the Jets in Toronto. Many fans here in WNY will NOT see the Bills game if it isn’t sold out because a lot of people here have cable TV (Time-Warner) which does not carry The NFL Network.

I am very happy for PF
but the guy has now coached 2 games. I have never heard him mentioned as a coordinator who was considered for a head coach job. We need a dynamic GM who must have free rein to pick the head coach. PF gets a shot at the job but that is it. He needs to win several more games, including one on the road, for that interview to be more than a formality.
agreed, but Fewell has done a nice job so far
I am not saying I want him has the new HC, but he deserves this props for doing a great job the last 2 games. If he continues to get this kind of production out of 2nd string players, how can you not consider him as a serious candidate? What happens if all the top guys turn the job down?

Reality check...What a win does
It brings optimism (if not euphoria) to this blog, and, no telling what effect on the team.
One effect is already evident…. No one(for us) was hurt in this game That’s the first time all year we did not lose 2-3-4 players. Perhaps, the injury curse has been broken.
The downside is it’s a no win (no pun intended) situation. The damage to the year has been done. Now, every step forward record-wise is a step back in the draft.
The reality is we still need all the things we needed yesterday.
Reality check
The Dolphins are our hated rival. We won. I’d Draft 32nd every year if we thrashed the Dolphins twice every year. draft spots are important to an extent but drafting well is more important. The Colts and Patriots all draft well and add pieces to their teams and pick late. So either be happy we beat the dolphins or be negative I don’t care. But I’m celebrating.

i hate how overused that is. it would be like a 2 or 3 spot difference. really, the bills would probably end up getting the same player they wanted anyways.
Wins also, however, can be used to help attract free agents and are useful to project overall confidence and optimism both internal and external (around the league) in the Bills.
Well, 1 spot might be the difference between Okung and Bulaga or Locker and Mallett, etc…

I can’t believe it took until all the way down here for someone to mention this.
I totally disagree. I think it’s becoming abundantly clear that while Lynch may have more “talent” and “potential,” Jackson is the better back, who actually makes plays (despite having subpar OL and QB).
Jackson should be the feature back in this offense. Lynch should be traded.

by thefourwinds on Nov 30, 2009 1:18 AM EST up reply actions
I think your half right. Jackson is the better back right now. I think that this is because Jackson is a more dinamic and creative back that can work behind a crumbling line, while Lynch is more of a power back that depends more on those opening blocks then Jackson does. I think that if you put a better line in front of Lynch, he re-becomes the better back of the two.
I think that they are very comparable to the Jets duo of Jones and Washington, meaning that Jackson is a great change of speed to Lynch’s much more straight forward running style. But Lynch is still the better back for us (or will be again next year) just like Jones is the better back for the Jets.
by CanadianBillsFan on Nov 30, 2009 1:25 AM EST up reply actions
But your reasoning is simply from potential. I have yet to see Lynch do anything that Jackson hasn’t done better. When Jackson has had blocking, he’s done exceptionally well. When he hasn’t, he’s still done better than Lynch.

I’m going to laugh so hard when Jackson hits the wall next year and the Bills have no other back to turn to and the idiots who were talking about TRADE LYNCH WAHHHH will try and explain it away.
Marshawn can’t play under this type of blocking with his style of running. Behind a mediocre line he gets 1000 yard rushing years. Behind a bad line he can’t get the tough yards like he usually does because there’s already a crowd waiting for him at the LoS.

by billsoferie on Nov 30, 2009 10:29 AM EST up reply actions
Exactly!
Lynch is having an off year, no doubt. And Jackson is having another good (not great) year. Ppl are ridiculous for thinking that we should trade Lynch away. I mean Cowboy fans wouldn’t call for Marian Barber’s head if he had an off year, or Giants fans aren’t calling for Brandon Jacob’s release because he’s having a good year, are they? Yet both of these guys have great backups that could easily start for the team.
The thing is that in the end we are much better off having both Lynch and Jackson on our team, its called having a backup plan. And ppl are quickly forgettting that while Jackson has been running well for us, he hasn’t been scoring. Yesterday’s touchdown was his first. Now Lynch hasn’t been better for us in that department either, so I will give you that. But that doesn’t mean that we should trade Lynch.
And another thing, what makes you think that Lynch has any trade value? I mean he’s having a terrible year for one (dropping his trading value), the add his legal trouble to that (dropping his trade value even more) and we’d be lucky to get a 5th round pick for him. It’s not worth doing. He’s much more valuable to us then a lower round puick would ever be.
So yeah, he’s having a bad year, but that doesn’t mean that we should trade him or release him.
by CanadianBillsFan on Nov 30, 2009 11:06 AM EST up reply actions
I think Fred is a better fit right now because he’s a solid receiver out of the backfield, which is something you need when your line sucks. Marshawn, on the other hand, has hands of stone. It keeps defenses a little more honest when they have to worry about a screen. As it stands, they can crowd the line on Marshawn more easily than against Fred.
Until we get a new O-coordinator and find out what system he wants to run, I think we need to keep both available to us. Just in case.

In the article it said Freddie was held to “only” 73 yards on 15 carries. Since when is 4.8 yards a carry not good? What a Marshawn homer!

wouldn’t say he was “held to only” 85 yards, since he had only 15 carries. he was “limited” to 15 carries, but still had excellent production. the game plan simply featured more passing. makes sense against a team starting a pair of rookie DB’s. being more balanced is nice, if your opponent is balanced too. exploiting your opponents weakness is likely to be the best choice for success.

I dion’t think that he’s earned a label as a HC keeper yet, but if we keep on playing like this for the rest of the season then he is surly building a good case for himself.
Personally I think that he’d be making a stronger case to be kept as DC then to keep the HC title. Maybe he can even gain more responsibilities on the deffensive side, as something tells me that DJ was limiting Fewell decision making ability.

The argument isn't that spread quarterbacks can't do it in the NFL
or at least, it shouldn’t be. The argument is (or should be) that the spread offense requires and develops very different skills than a pro-style offense. The reads are different, all the plays are out of the shotgun, for Tebow/Smith there was less emphasis on passing, etc etc.
theres no reason a guy who is good at the spread he won’t be good in the NFL. A guy could be good in both offenses. It’s just that the guy’s success at making plays in the spread doesn’t have much correlation to his ability to make plays in a pro offense, that’s all.

Fitzy, Fewell and Special Teams
Fitzy is not a very accurate passer at all, which is the only thing which keeps him from being a starter in this league. He’s 6-3 in his last 9 games and he seems smart/gutsy enough to make plays. He’s got a good arm and, as we saw today, can make a play or two with his feet. He’s definitely worth keeping around while we groom a young QB.
Good to see Perry get the win. He made the right call giving Freddy the start. Freddy has been much more productive than Marshawn when he’s played. It was also nice to see him take chances, i.e. giving Lindell a shot to make the 56-yarder and going for scores after the first two Henne INT’s.
Lastly, Brian Moorman is the best punter in the league. He excels at all aspects of his job.

I agree about Moorman, but Shane Lechler (sp) is having a career year out in Oakland.

Career year is an understatement, he’s on his way to setting a new record for punting yards average. No way that Moorman gets the pro-bowl nod ahead of Lechler.

what else could you call it
a funk, a daze, whatever. Today was not only withouit Jauron but without many front line players. That makes it a strong case that it was in fact Jauron. Fewell said Fitz had big ones to call the bomb to TO. I read that to mean Fewell is giving him the latitude to do that.
50+ comments here said “Jauron would never cal that play”. The QBs apparently were on a short leash, again, supported by the miserable results. We were in some close games. One can only wonder if Jauron had let go of the leash what might have been. I guess Ralph came to that same conclusion.
Man Am I ever sorry that I missed this game (wasn't broadcasted up here... again!)
I see that Corey Mace had an INT (right?). I’m just wondering if he play was good enough to include him into the DT rotation, finally get rid of McCarbust and actually dull down the “we need to draft a DT early” talk, as we have MUCH greater needs than DT.
Any other good info on the game would be great. Was Fitzy impressive?

I really hope so.
But if I’m Bill Pohlian, one of the first things I try to do this offseason is make him the Moss to Manning’s Brady.
Jonathan Stupar won the Heisman…while playing in the NFL!
Why? They already have Wayne for that. Plus they’re very young WR corps is looking increadibly promissing this year (and for the future). If I was Pollian I’d do as little as possible to screw that up.
by CanadianBillsFan on Nov 30, 2009 12:01 AM EST up reply actions
because he's better than every wideout on the team.
he’s one of the best ever, and he’s shown that he’s still got the ability, at least to some extent. Remember that Brady did his thing with very few options for a couple years and was successful. He made the guys around him better. Then they got Moss, and the offense became the best ever.
Right now, Manning can win with the guys he has around him, but with TO, they’d be on a different level. IMO, the Pats wouldn’t be able to play with them.
And as for Wayne, I’m a firm believer that he’s a #2 with nearly anyone else throwing him the ball. That’s mostly gut feeling from watching him play, but I think we haven’t seen Peyton throw to a true #1 since Harrison was in his prime.
Jonathan Stupar won the Heisman…while playing in the NFL!
Reggie Wayne is one of the top 5 WR's in the league
Have you watched him closely? He makes some ridiculous catches and has some of the best footwork I’ve ever seen. He can do everything….runs great routes, catches everything thrown his way, goes over the middle, goes deep, can be a possession receiver, runs after the catch and so on.
I think you’re going to have a hard time convincing many people that Wayne is a #2. If you replaced Wayne with TO, I think Manning’s numbers go down. Wayne helps Manning as much, or nearly as much, as Manning helps Wayne.
~K
"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
hmm
that was never the read I got from watching. I don’t deny he’s got good hands and feet, I just always felt like he didn’t get as much separation as the great wideouts of the league, and it was Peyton putting the ball in a perfect window. Maybe it’s just my imagination.
Jonathan Stupar won the Heisman…while playing in the NFL!
If that wasn’t the read that you got from watching Wayne then you haven’t really been watching Wayne.
When it comes down to it Wayne is a top 5 in the league. And while TO is one of the all-time best, he is also way passed his prime. Wayne is in his prime RIGHT NOW. The Colts would be nuts to bring in a guy that can be a distraction (as much as I love TO, he always has that potential) when they have a terrific corps of young receivers to back Wayne and Clark up.

Yeah but do you really think that TO would go to Chicago? I mean the only thing that that team has going for it is named Urlacher. Sure they have Cutler, but he’s proving to be a bust in big games this year. Plus we all know that TO likes to be the biggest star of a team, which he wouldn’t be for the Bears. He’d be third best behind Urlacher and Cutler (who is an undeserving fan favorite IMO).

Mace’s interception was the final nail in the already sealed coffin. It came on a tipped pass with like 40 seconds left. THe only reason he was called up is because McCargo was not gonna play and Stroud and maybe Williams were still hurt but playing.

Not Jauron's Bills Anymore
Hmmmm, Buffalo blowing it open in the fourth instead of just plain blowing it. I’d say the Dick Jauron era has officially ended.
In all seriousness I’m not sure whether this will wind up being a trend, but its been a different team these past two games. I’m actually kind of excited for next week!
What are the chances that Jauron would have attempted a 56 yard FG tied at 10?
And when the Bills got the ball up 3 don’t you think he would have pounded the ball ineffectively 3 times and punted, allowing the Dolphins a chance to tie or win, instead of going for the jugular?
Jauron would have punted
The contrast between DJ’s “play to not lose” philosophy and PF’s “play like heLL” could not be more obvious than it was today.
Good on you, Perry. Fewell for the fire!!!
Memo to players: lets see some more o’dat energy next Thursday. Go Bills!

"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
Very Good.
Probably would have gone to OT, and the Bills would have found a way to lose once again.
It can’t be emphasized enough how important it is to score a TD in this type of situation rather than settle for the field goal. That’s the sort of thing that lost a number of games with DJ at the helm.
Unfortunately, DJ didn’t get much support from the guy who was supposed to be the future of the QB position (Captain Chexdown). I still think those concussions are affecting him. Fitzpatrick isn’t the long-term answer at QB, but he at least understands what a QB is supposed to do (even if he doesn’t have a ton of physical tools to work with).
Get the Bills back to the big game!
Congratulations to the Bills for Fewell's 1st victory.

Injuries
I feel it has to be said that the Bills actually survived a game without any major injuries. In fact, the only injury reported by Chris Brown was an eye contusion for Nic Harris. Which I figure he probably got poked in the eye. This seems impossible that we escaped a game without losing any players.
