Bills 13, Browns 6: Fred Jackson, Bills Defense Shine In Victory

After two consecutive brutal losses, the Buffalo Bills used a consistent ground attack and some very strange Cleveland Browns play-calling to eke out a 13-6 win on a cold, rainy day at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
Fred Jackson rushed for 112 yards on 29 carries, and the Bills ran for 192 yards as a team, with C.J. Spiller (33 yards) and Ryan Fitzpatrick (49 yards) adding in healthy chunks of yardage as well. Thanks to their solid rushing attack, the Bills held the ball for roughly 36 minutes in the game, and David Nelson hauled in an 11-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter to give the Bills the only lead they'd need in this one.
Fitzpatrick completed 14 of 23 passes for 142 yards and the aforementioned touchdown in the victory; he's now thrown a touchdown pass in 13 consecutive games, and has 21 touchdown passes on the season. Stevie Johnson hauled in five passes for 42 yards, and Bills tight ends Jonathan Stupar and David Martin combined for four catches and 58 yards themselves.
Defensively, the Bills held an opponent without a touchdown since Week 5 of 2009, when - you guessed it - the Browns beat the Bills, 6-3. Leodis McKelvin intercepted a Jake Delhomme pass late in the fourth quarter to help put the game out of reach, and Arthur Moats forced a Delhomme fumble on a sack; the fumble was recovered by Bryan Scott. Delhomme's 20 passing attempts helped the Bills overcome a strong (if fumble-prone) outing from Peyton Hillis, who rushed for 108 yards on 21 carries.
The Bills improve to 3-10 on the season. They'll wrap up their 2010 campaign with three straight division contests, starting next Sunday in Miami.

I didn't understand a lot of their play calls
They had 3rd and 3 three or four times and threw it each time that I saw.
if you’re talking about Bills play calls, I had a similar reaction. 2nd half of the 4th quarter, playcalling got unusually predictable. I normally like our calls, but we were in something of an unusual position: trying to hold a lead with time winding down. But I thought we were far too conservative: run run pass pun, run run pass punt, until: run run . . . run and FJ got the first down that more or less clinched it.

Yep
It seems that Doug Whaley is having an impact on the front office. The Steelers are the kings of taking small school DE’s and turning them into outside LB’s that can rush the passer. Lets hope we can get some production out of Coleman and Batten next year, and maybe Maybin will figure out that he isnt at Penn State anymore, and we could have some solid OLBs.

Turnovers were the story here
The Browns fumbled what……5 times….even though they recovered some of them, it still hurts. Delhomme threw in a pick for good measure.
Fitz didn’t throw a pick.
Huge for the Bills. How close did Fitz come to a 6 pick with that ball to Stupar?
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and
beat you with experience.

If not for the slippery conditions, i think that would have been a pick six

Not sure, I didn’t see the game. I just think that it’s easier to throw the ball when the weather isn’t that slippery. I would imagine his overall play would have been better, if only a little, if the conditions were nicer.

I would have to go back and look again, but
after the defender makes his break on the ball, he seemed to have a small slip on his 2nd or 3rd step…not much…but enough that he could get the INT.

And wet balls aren't known for being heavier and tougher to sling...
You are right that the conditions prob affected the DB.
Backer is prob right that the conditions affected Fitz.
The play is what the play is.
I agree that a wet ball is tougher to throw....especially without losing velocity, but nobody mentioned that
I was referring the slippery footing and that Fitz needed to place the ball more to the outside shoulder of the WR.

Bright spot: Moats
Given Buffalo’s lousy LB situation, I think Moats has a real chance to go into 2011 as a starter. He’s been Buffalo’s best rookie from the draft class of 2010. That’s not saying much (the class has been as underwhelming as even the biggest pessimist could have imagined), but I think he has a future in this league. I hope he continues to improve with playing time.

McKelvin
Really happy to see him come back after his Vikings debacle. Right before his big pick he had a big hit to knock the ball lose from the receiver. Cleveland’s receivers are nothing special but you didn’t hear his name a lot meaning he played well. Don’t know if he was the one who got beat on the long pass to Massaquoi, can anyone help me there?
It was Byrd...
on Massaquoi’s long catch… But he made up for it too!!!
Went to my first "BB" meeting today... When I stood, introduced myself, and admitted I was a Billsaholic, the other members threw beer cans at me!!
Sucks about Lee but we will get to see if someone on the roster can step in a fill his role. Seemed like some good runs up the middle looking forward to the Oline break down to see how much of that was Wood at center. Moats keeps making plays what more can you ask of a mid round rookie. Byrd had a sophomore slump no unexpected hopefully today was a sign that its coming to an end and he can end the season on a high note.
Also our secondary
The d-backs laid some wood in the cold today, Byrd’s hit on Hillis was the play of the game because it set the tone. Freddy shined in the bad weather, quality win! glad to say it
Am I the only one that realizes that by winning this meaningless game we’ve all but lost any shot at landing Andrew luck. We won the battle today but were losing the war
We have to have Luck this offseason, figuratively and literally. "With the 1st overall pick pick of the 2011 NFL draft the buffalo bills select Andrew Luck quarterback out of stanford" The first words out of goodalls mouth at the 11 draft. youtube "andrew luck tackle" the kid can teach our linebackers how to hit as a second job

Freud described this phenomenon as “:projection” and the many self-loathing Bills fans who take out their frustration on their fellow team supporters rather than this pathetic team are simply avoiding the unenviable chore of evaluating the disgraceful front office, coaches, and players employed by the Bills. Personally, I’m glad they won, but I won’t critique how any other Bills fans deal with this putrid franchise.

It’s good intentions, I’ll give them that, but it still makes me and several other people sick to their stomach to see people rooting for the team to lose.
Then again, I’m fully of the opinion that a) Ryan Fitzpatrick is unjustly looked down upon on this page and has been for the past year, b) that there’s absolutely nothing stopping Andrew Luck from becoming the next Ryan Leaf, and finally c) that the team needs to learn to win as is more than it needs to be stomped into submission so that it can get a guy that will not answer the most significant troubles of this team. (Unless Luck plays a mean 3-4 outside linebacker, the answer is no.)
Many people disagree with this opinion. They think that Andrew Luck will be the Messiah, the Chosen One, the Neo, or even, dear God, the Jim Kelly that we so desperately ‘need’. Well, they’re entitled to their opinions. But when they’re annoyed at the team they root for winning a game, it leaves a sour taste in my mouth, Brian, and I hope you understand that.
(I’m personally rooting for Andrew Luck to not declare, personally, so we can start coming to some kind of agreement that beating the Browns is not the death knell for our franchise, but it’s out of my control, obviously.)
by Orlando John on Dec 12, 2010 9:38 PM EST up reply actions 3 recs
completely agree,
It’s much more important for this team to learn how to win and shed its losing culture than to intentionally lose games to try to draft a guy who is just as likely to be the next Ryan Leaf as he is the next Peyton Manning; and furthermore, may not even declair for the draft this year at all.
I understand if people dissagree with my logic and respect their right to do so, but when the Bills actually play well and beat our Lake Erie neighbors (giving us something to cheer about for once), why get all Debbie Downer and whine about it just to rain on everyone’s parade? It makes no sense to me.
"It’s like I’ve always said, don’t tell me about the labor pains, just show me the baby. That’s what we’ve got to do. We’ve got to show you the baby, and the baby is winning." - Buddy Nix
True
But to be willing to purposely support a team that loses to “win” better picks is a team I want no part of! Whys that despicable? From jump I"ve been of the ilk you play to win, not purposely fold to gain draft advantage. Can’t and won’t support that attitude in my life. I’ve got pride. Nothing divisive about that to me. To wish for losses is for losers, not my Bills.

What's with Sparano's shades at night in a rain storm ?
Sanchez is loosing confidence fast.
It was Cookie's turn to lead the "easiest exercise" during the Monday practice after a game-- he said-- "we're going to do deep breathing--everybody inhale--dehale "---As told by Jack Kemp at my high school sports banquet circa 1966.
Sanchez is loosing confidence fast.
Nah… just like the rest of the Jets, he’s realizing all the garbage Ryan has been spouting is just that…. Crap… His last 2 games in particular makes him look like the guy that Buff picked off 6 times last year. But the rest of the team looks just as bad…
And Henne might be playing even worse… 5 of 18 for 55 yds… Sanchez 17-44, 216…

I'd rather have Fitz
Did anyone else watching the Jets lose to Miami have the same feeling I did — that I would much rather have Fitz as our QB at this point than either Sanchez or Henne? Fitz may toss some wild throws (but then again both Sanchez and Henne do that as well), but at least he looks as if he belongs out there. The two younger QB’s in the AFC East both looked lost today.
Stevie Johnson can also take some comfort from the Santonio Holmes easy TD drop — it happens to the best of them.
Agreed on both counts.
I seem to be one of the only guys with a #14 pic, so it’s not much of a surprise coming from me, but whenever I can see Ryan playing, he looks like he knows what he’s doing. He also seems to usually know what he can and cannot do with the ball, especially when he has time to think.
Hmm…. I keep saying he’s our new Flutie, but that may not be the point. I’m starting to think he may well be our Hostetler. (A guy that isn’t fancy, isn’t impressive, just wins.)

Not good enough alone. I do think that with enough upgrades all around he can brute-force-competence this team into playing in January. And if Mark Sanchez can come close to bringing last years’ Jets into the bowl, I don’t see why Ryan can’t do it, either. Especially if he plays to his strengths.
Not going to go so far as to say we should definitely plan on it, but I do think he gets the benefit of the doubt and the starting job is his to lose, even if Luck is that good. AND we get him.

"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."
My favorite play of the day
was stopping the Browns on 3rd & goal on the first drive. They were tearing up the D running the ball seemingly with ease. But the D shut them down there, Cleveland settled for the FG.
Building off that stop the D held them to a single FG the rest of the game.

Remainder of the Schedule
I’ll bet a lot of money that the Bills give the Patriots a better game than the Steelers, Jets, or Bears did. I’ll also bet that we play the Jets much tighter than we did early in the season.
There’s a lot to be optimistic about at the end of this season and going into next season. There’s a long way to go but we’re on the right track.

Fred Jackson, Defense . . . and the O-line
Thought the o-line looked great today. But, I was at a bar and I’m not sure exactly what I saw.
I certainly couldn’t watch at a level of detail that allowed me to see whether Wang played much. Anyone know?
Surprised CJ only had 33 yards. Thought he looked good. Still frustrated he hasn’t had a break-out game yet, but as long as FJ is the #1 guy, a break-out game may not be possible. And FJ 100% deserves to be the guy. And I just love our late rounders — plus, it makes for a very likable team. Good win. Go Bills!
My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.
Chris Brown during his live chat during the game was asked if Ed Wang is going to get the chance to play RT next year, and his reply was that Wang would probably end up as a “reserve Guard.” Since we badly need help at OT I hope that’s not true, but it sounds as if Brownie has been hearing from the coaches that Wang is a bust.
A guy drafted in the 5th round as a OL who turns out to be a reserve.........
is hardly a bust…….
If you’re looking for a 10 year stud OL starter in the 5th round……..you have some issues with your team.

There was a lot of hope earlier in the season that Wang might be a real contender at OT. It’s looking like that might not happen. If so, he would be a bust in that sense (and an indication that OT is again a major priority for the offseason).
There was a lot of hope earlier in the season that Wang might be a real contender at OT.
Well, I can hope that Levi Brown wins 10 Super Bowls for the Bills, but if he doesn’t, he won’t be a bust. Fan expectations should in no way, shape or form be considered in arbitrarily labeling someone a “bust,” particularly when those expectations are ridiculous to begin with.

My only hope for Wang was that he could become a serviceable OT down the road e.g. 2-3 seasons
Expecting much from a player who was a 5th rounder and while athletic, not used to this level of competition his first season is a lot. I agree with Brian whole heartedly.

Bust is always a strong word to use, but
I think I see where you are going. He was a left tackle in college, we drafted him as a tackle I believe and know being referred to as a back up guard going forward. Is that a bust, I don’t know, but it does stink when you buy something and end up having to use it for something other than what you bought it for. Let’s give the bust to the front office, hell they can’t get them all right.

By bust, I'm guessing he means disappointment...
I’m sure the Bills FO had hopes that Wang could be a quality reserve at OT and potentially push for a starting job. They may already see he’s not good enough for that. Hence, some disappointment in him….
But yeah, a 5th rounder can really never be a bust…..

So we win the week I can't watch thanks
Too the blackout and a family function. Hmm, maybe I should have a family thing every week. We would go 16-0 if I did that….

Kyle Williams had an awesome stiff arm on his fumble recovery
He could be the new short yardage back haha
It would be awesome.
If they put together a full house package with McIntyre and Kyle Williams as FBs and a RB.

I'm suddenly remembering
In Madden 08, Kyle Williams had something like three TDs for me as a tight end in the Miami goal line package. Awesome.

I like the fact that on that play, Byrd basically uses his helmet to make sure Hillis won't have kids
