Last Regular Season Meeting
The Broncos, who outgained the Bills 532 yards to 275, retook the lead on Cutler's 6-yard keeper. The celebratory mood among the frozen fans, who endured temperatures that dipped into the single digits, ended quickly when Fred Jackson's 65-yard catch set up Steve Johnson's 3-yard touchdown grab that put Buffalo back on top, 23-20.
Things I Hope to See
Pass-rush minus Merriman
Shawne Merriman looked like the Lights-Out of old last weekend, but again he is missing a game. With Marcell Dareus and Kyle Williams eating up space and humans on the defensive line, I hope to see other pass-rushers step up and show flashes. We may not be able to count on Merriman for 16 games and we can't afford to manufacture pressure all season.
Passing game in sync
After a pretty bland showing last weekend in Chicago, the Bills' offense, and more specifically passing offense, reportedly had a horrible week of practice. Lee Evans' departure puts instant pressure on guys that haven't been expected to produce at the NFL level yet. It's time to show some progression and for someone to take over the #2 WR position.
Levitre winning the LG spot
Although the current regime did not draft Andy Levitre, the fact remains that he was a 2nd round pick. And up until now, there haven't been many questions about his play. Now, he faces a challenge from Chad Rinehart - a player brought in by Gailey and Nix. It's time for the more talented player to step up and win the job. Expect for these two to each get a couple series'.
Marcus Easley doing something
We keep hearing about the physicality and athleticism of the former 4th-round pick, but no one has seen anything of substance on the field. The former Husky looked timid returning kicks last week. It makes you wonder if he's still suffering from a nagging injury. Going along with the passing game theme - this guy has the look, size, strength, speed to step up and be a playmaker. It's time to do something with all of those attributes.
