Buffalo Bills Now 5-2 After Shutout Win Over Washington

PrintA much-maligned Buffalo Bills defense recorded nine sacks, intercepted two John Beck passes, and pitched a shutout as the Bills beat the Washington Redskins 23-0 in Toronto on Sunday afternoon.
Coming into the game, the Bills' No. 30-ranked defense had recorded just four sacks; they more than tripled their season total on Sunday. Marcell Dareus recorded 2.5 sacks, Dwan Edwards had 1.5, and Spencer Johnson, Chris Kelsay, Kirk Morrison and Jairus Byrd all recorded full sacks as well. George Wilson and Byrd recorded interceptions as Beck and the Redskins looked overmatched all afternoon.
Offensively, Ryan Fitzpatrick completed 21-of-27 passes for 262 yards, and threw two touchdowns to tight end Scott Chandler, who now has six on the season. That ties a team record for tight ends shared by Pete Metzelaars and Jay Riemersma. Fred Jackson was his usual self, as well, rushing for 120 yards on 26 carries and adding 74 receiving yards on three receptions.
Buffalo improves to 5-2 on the season with the win. They return home to Ralph Wilson Stadium next week to take on the 4-3 New York Jets.

WOW....
and we held them to 178 total yards on the way to our first Toronto win!!!
Optimistic??? Of course I am!! I'm a Bills fan, and as of right now, we are undefeated on the regular season!!!
Things are truly looking up!!!
BOOM!!!!!
The player I would like least at #9 would be my sister’s cat, Captain Creamsicle. She does have a great work ethic and agility, but I’m really concerned that at 9 lbs., she’s too small to play safety in the NFL. She also bites way too often on play action and is easily distracted by someone waving string in the crowd. Lastly, her wonderlic score was pretty awful, answering "meow meow meow" for most of the questions- Dr. Brackish Okun

Good work
Will be interesting to see if our D has turned the corner or if the skins are just that bad. Naturally I’m guessing it’s mostly the later with a little bit of the former.

Even if the Redskins are lame the Bills:
1. Beat up a bad opponent instead of letting them stay in the game.
2. Dominated them with interceptions, sacks and a shutout.
That’s not just beating a bad team, that is dominating them.

This line is doing AMAZING despite injuries and position switches: allowing Fred to use his moves and Fitz to show his magic consistently.
Second game ball to whatever George Edwards “drew up” over the bye. I know the ‘Skins aren’t a very good team, but 9 sacks and a shutout is a HUGE deal in the NFL, no matter who you are or who you’re playing.

I think that if a Blo Rumblings gameball can go to a coach, it needs to go to Edwards. Many were calling for his head this week and at the very least, he had his boys ready to play.

Littered with injuries
I know that the Redskins are not a good offense, but they have a decent defense. And both teams were littered with injuries. However, the Bills just had a very convincing and dominating win on both sides of the ball (yes, despite the mistakes made on offense). I think this was the most impressive game of the year so far, moreso than the Pats or the Raiders. We’ll see next week if the defense is actually better, or today was just a product of playing a bad offense. But in the mean time, I am a very happy man tonight.

Actually, Mack he is playing like Freddy on offense.
Just wants to be on the field and like every offensive player that is not an O-lineman wants the ball as much as possible. He has been playing like he is responsible for anything over three yards. So awesome to see/watch. Donte was could but George has taken us to a different level. I have also noticed that Jarius complements him very well, becoming assignment sound allowing George to play the short areas.

Yeah, but the Bills are banged up too. They are on their 3rd left tackle, had a back up guard in there, Are playing a backup inside linebacker, a backup defensive tackle, have 2 receivers on IR and one out long term, and an injured dime back. So…the Bills are pretty banged up too.

the storyline
of this game was how the Bills would respond to a new phase of the season. The opening slate was a ridiculously tough schedule and the Bills did incredibly well to walk out of it 4-2. Going into the bye it seemed as if teams were beginning to figure out Buffalo’s offensive tendencies and that injuries were starting to take their toll. The bye week couldnt have come at a better time as the Bills needed to start preparing for a new segment of the season. Altering their offensive schemes and having individuals start showing they could pick up the team as more and more guys are going down.
Jairus Byrd and Marcel Dareus really stepped up today as individuals. So did Spencer Johnson. Arthur Moats, Chris Kelsay, George Wilson, Leodis McKelvin, Terrence McGee, Drayton Florence and Dwan Edwards all upped their games as well.
Fred Jackson is the league MVP, I maintain this. Ryan Fitzpatrick made some great throws. Andy Levitre actually looked pretty good at LT. Scott Chandler just finds the endzone.
And does anyone doubt the Bills have the best safety duo in the NFL? My goodness, Jairus Byrd and George Wilson are a PROBLEM for opposing offenses.
Last thought: the defense is ALWAYS stouter when a healthy Terrence McGee is playing. Just throwing that out there.

Moats Continues to Get Pressure
Arthur Moats was excellent at getting pressure on the quarterback, even if he didn’t (somehow) record a sack today. I really don’t care about prototypical sizes for OLBs or whatever else anyone has to say: this guy gets to opposing quarterbacks with regularity. It’s an attribute this team desperately needs. Keep up the great play, Arthur!
Great game, Bills, even if the Skins’ O was banged up. That’s how you should play.

Definitely
the most complete game the Bills have played yet this season.
I didn’t see this game, but did you think it was better than the opening-day win against KC? It seemed as if the Bills had several bad plays (turnovers) and a few stupid penalties that really hurt them in this game – Skins just couldn’t capitalize. It certainly did seem like a good win, but hard to call it better than the win against KC.

"the man who created a legend; the legend who resurrected a franchise."
agreed but worried about the matchup
If you can be undefeated at home then 4 away wins will put you pretty much top 2 most years at 12-4. Even 7-1 at home should be enough to get into playoffs if you are .500 or even one game below that away from home. My concern is the Jets matchup against the Bills far better than the Pats do but I guess we shall see what happens.

But flex scheduling doesn’t start until Week 11.
I expect our Week 12 tilt with Jets to be moved to Sunday night.
Week 17
Against the Pats. If we continue playing them neck & neck it could be for the division. Even if not, it’ll likely have seeding implications. Unless there’s another appetizing divisional match up that week i’m thinking it’s a high possibility. Week 12 is currently Steelers/Chiefs. If KC keeps up there winning ways that one might stick…

Yes shut out the coach that turned us down with the coach that wanted the job, just like most our players guys that wanted to be here got the win for for their coach and each other, and are putting together a winning season maybe heck most likely a playoff season and I’m really enjoying it!
I said the same thing earlier.
I’m so glad he turned us down, I think his ego has driven him insane.
He said earlier this season he’d stake his reputation that Grossman and Beck would be the correct answer at QB, while most sane people knew how it would end.

i missed some of the game
but why didnt spiller get more touches. especially at the end. in the beginning he was a making somep layers
Fitzmagic
What good teams do
beat the stuffing out of bad teams, and do so comprehensively in all aspects of the game, despite a couple of miscues (two turnovers, a bit of inefficient execution for a stretch in the second half).
NOT to jinx anything, but I was just looking at the “playoff standings” at ESPN and the Bills have had the hardest schedule (.574 percent winning percentage by their opponents) of any of the 12 teams that would be in the playoffs if the season ended today. And the most points scored in the AFC. And a defense that was frightening, at least today. Those things make the 5-2 record even more impressive.
There is a long way to go this year, but I’m giddy right now after watching the game today. I sort of agree with the folks who say that the J-E-T-S game next week is the biggest of the year, but I also have sort of felt that every game so far has been the biggest — each one important for a different reason, except possibly for the Giants game where a loss in a non-conference game with a 4-1 record would not be a significant setback. Instead it seems like the team used that loss, and the knowledge that it was a game they should probably have won, to beat the stuffing out of an overrated Washington team today.
Wow. I hope the front office keeps working on getting Stevie and Fred contract extensions to go with Fitz’s. And, while they’re at it, go ahead and sign Marcell Dareus to a 15-year contract extension. Even without one of the best interior linemen in the game out with an injury, Marcell had a monster game playing the run and the pass.
Wow. GO BILLS!!!

Beat the Bad Teams and Split with the Good Teams...
…is the key to a winning season in any sport. The Bills can go 10-6 by beating teams like the Redskins and the Dolphins, while splitting with the Jets and Patriots.
Rodney Harrison....
Just said that George Wilson at the midpoint is the defensive player of the year…bold statement if you ask me, but still nice to hear.
I thought Dareus looked great at NT today…even if it was against a banged up OL.
Rodney Harrison said that?

I agree.
The Byrd sack, was the most encouraging sign Edwards is getting a clue and willing to try something besides what he has been. The good teams disguise blitzes like that where you can get a free rusher off the edge and an interior lineman or two with no one to block.

He broke tendency
Instead of faking the inside backer blitz and dropping him into coverage, when bringing the safety, he had him shoot the A gap and the end shoot the b gap on Byrds side.
The guard was surprised the ilb and byrd both came and totally whiffed on the ilb and was blocking airm while the LT was forced to try to defend the b gap letting Byrd come free.

I think Jairus Byrd might get the most improved player award on defense. He’s become such a well rounded player. His tackling is impeccable, man coverage is good, and he’s still got the ability to haul in the odd INT.

His effort was never really an issue here either, just his lack of moves and strength.
Playing on a team that has a better secondary helps him out a ton.
I’m actually happy for Aaron considering all he’s been through in his personal life. A stillborn child would ruin a lot of peoples drives for awhile. I think it’s obvious the change of scenery has helped re-light his passion a bit and erase the bust stigma.
I wish he was having a resurgence on a different team though…someone outside the division.

Nice tune up game!
I can say that the Bills were well prepared for Washington coming out of the bye…as I suspected. Gailey does a fine job in that. It was nice to see the D-line getting some sacks for a change, even though it was partly due to Washington’s totally inferior O-line. Giving up sacks to a 3 or 4 man rush is horrible (I don’t miss those days at all). George Edwards is still not off the hook with me but the defense played “lights out” the total game. Congrats! Another reality check comes next week against the Jets. Go Bills !

Hats off
My hat is off to our defensive coordinator today. I have criticized him but today he called a great game. The players came to play.
Marcel Dareus
I’ve posted on here a couple times stating that I live in Alabama and that I’m a huge Bama and Bills fan.
That being said I can tell you that Marcel usually did his pass rushing damage from the NT position during his college days. So I was very excited to see that he would be playing there today.
He mainly played DE but on obvious passing downs would shift inside and easily dominate the slower guards and centers. Living down here I’ve only been able to watch a couple of bills games this year. When I did watch I was dumb founded to see marcel repeatedly come off the field on 3rd downs. I think this is because kyle williams is a great player and so shifting marcel inside would mean williams would be off the field but I think another way to go about this would be to move williams to DE and have Dareus play nose on passing downs. I’ve already explained why that would be good for Dareus but it would also mean Williams would be at his more natural postion too.
Anybody else think thats a good idea?
by djd303 on Oct 30, 2011 10:03 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
It has been discussed often but the majority may differ with you.
Kyle is so quick off the ball, he usually is a half step between the center and guard when they reach protect mode. All in all what you are suggesting is a very good problem to have. Possibly a win win eitherway. Right now Kyle’s strength is the nose where Dareus could do both. What Dareus has brought to my attention is the improved play of our OLB on that side, so I am biased and would like him to stay at DE.

What a game...
First, I didn’t expect to see the D play that well, what a dominant performance.
Dareus had his best game so far and it’s crazy but the Bills might even have a little depth on the defensive line.
Keep Moats at OLB – that’s his position, stop messing with it.
DBs played great today and it’s been said already but George Wilson, you’re awesome.
Just pencil in Freddy for 200 yards from scrimmage every week, dude is a stud and I’ve officially changed my position – pay him whatever he wants.
Fitz’s INT was weird… I’m not really sure who to put it on, it looked like Stevie got bumped and Fitz threw to where he was supposed to be. At least it was Fletcher who picked it, he’s still on of my favorite players in the NFL.
Offensive line looked good for the most part. This is a direct quote from my brother (a skins fan): “I underestimated their offensive line. That’s a grip of corn fed motherf_____s right there.” – not 100% sure what he means but I’d have to agree.
Scott Chandler – 2 Rec, 35 Yards, 2 TDs – and tied for the most TDs by a Tightend in franchise history, nicely done!
All in all, a great day to be a Bills fan. Big game next week, a win will do a lot to not only keep the Bills at the top of the AFCE but would be a huge boost before what will be a tough November.

Great play by Fletcher
Fletcher blocked Stevie from crossing in front of him, which wasn’t interference because Fletcher was positioning himself for the ball. If Fitz expected an LB to do that, he’d never make that throw. On the other hand, a smart DB who has studied a lot of film might be ready to recognize it and make the play for the ball, as Fletcher was.

Great game all the way around
of course there is room for improvement every week in certain areas, but this was about as close to a perfect or complete game as possible.
Excellent job by the offense putting together good drives, converting 3rd downs and scoring points. Defense continues to get turnovers but more importantly held their opponent to very few yards and applied a ton of pressure on the QB.
And excellent job by the special teams (other than the missed Lindell FG…hey sh*t happens) covering kicks, making kicks, and getting us good field position.
Let’s keep the whagonblastors machine rolling against the Jets next week.

The Magical Number is 5
The magical number is now five, great job on the Redskins Sunday afternoon. The Jets will not let you push them around, especially for a playoff spot in the AFC East. With Aaron Maybin as a player of the Jets, it will be a challenge to see what their is made of.
Looked like we should have had more. I'll take it though.
One for four inside the red zone? Yuck! What happened with that?
Maybe the defense is on to something. I agree that even though it was against the Skins, something worked once Merriman went out and we tinkered. Hope it continues next week. A win against the Jets will be so huge.. Dallas and the Jets on the road coming up and the Chargers soon after.. ouch!
Go Bills!
