Peyton Hillis has fumbled eight times this season, losing five of them.
Hillis has earned a reputation as a guy that puts the ball on the ground and the Bills knew it yesterday. Buffalo defenders faked like they would go low so Hillis would do his patented hurdle, but stayed up and went after the ball. It's something that Hillis must correct with Montario Hardesty (knee) back to battle for carries next season.

Maybe I'm going overboard with this...but I find it interesting that the coaching staff seemed to make that part of the gameplan. I don't remember that happening the last 3-4 years, where the Bills looked like they were specifically trying to take advantage of an opponent's weakness in that way.
Now Gailey should work on recovering loose footballs in practice sessions. The fact that Cribbs, using just one hand, was able to rip the ball away from three Bills is utterly unacceptable.
