I've got a nice pair of double-Ds for our DL again. Up until about 4 minutes left in the first half, they put absolutely no pressure on Indy's O.
Denney/Newman should get the NFL's highest honors for logging the Bills first and only sack by the first/second team Ds through the first three games!!! The number of times that Manning went back to pass in the first half, we should have put quite a bit of pressure if not logged 2 or 3 sacks against Indy in the first half alone.
Game Balls:
Watson for creating a VERY nice TO on the punt early.
Special Teams again overall.
Boobs:
DL gets a nice pair of Double-Ds as usual.
STs for allowing a long KO return to start the game
GW and team for the penalties!!!
This was a weird game. I just looked at the box score/PBP, and other than that goal line O, Indy, out of 33 plays in the first half, 27 of them were designed passing plays.
Drew had some good moments, but also:
Had 3 sacks in one half of play w/ two of them being on 3rd downs. His lone INT in the first drive of the second half also came on a third down. I didn't see the INT so I cannot comment on it. He had a very nice 25 yard pass to Moulds w/ 9 min. left in the 2nd Q, and a very nice thread to Reed for the TD. After that, while he played OK, he didn't do anything spectacular.
Much as in the Cincy game, our only score by the first unit came on a short drive that was set-up by the STs. Watson's FF and REC in this case giving us the ball back at Indy's 10. Other than that, we didn't score in over a half w/ the first team!!!
1st Q: 3 and out. 3 and out. TD on three plays set-up at Indy's 10. 6 and out.
2nd Q: 1 long drive (over 6 min.) resulting in no points. 3 and out.
Henry: Gains of -5, -3, 1, 17, 1, 3, 6, 0, -3, 0, 3 or 11 for 20.
Minus that 17 yarder, 10 for 3. Not good!!
-5, -3, -3, 0, 0, 1, 1, 3, 3, 6 Half the runs were for no or negative gain.
This is pretty scary to me!
