Man, what a win yesterday. The Bills D dominated Baltimore, forcing them into a one dimensional passing game. They ran it, what, 2 times in the second half? Not to mention all of the hurries/hits they had on Flacco, making his day pretty miserable.
I thought the secondary played exceptionally well, especially Aaron Williams. Kiko was awesome as well. He always seems to be in the right place at the right time. Dareus was wreaking havoc all day.
Think about this for a second. The Bills did what they did, with both starting corners out, their pro bowl FS out, and their backup corners out. They were down to their 4th, 5th, even 6th corners. Yes they still gave up a few big plays, but they came up huge in many instances. This is a game I thought they were going to blow for sure. Even up 20-7, I wasn't comfortable.
EJ Manuel, despite his bad stat line, played well, I thought. The fumble was completely on him, and the pick to Stevie could be pointed to him too. The deep ball that got picked off really was better than a punt (I think it was 2nd and 20 or something stupid). Let's also not forget, if Lee Smith doesn't fall down, there's an easy TD, and the over turned Woods TD was a great throw. Chandler's over turned catch was just bad luck as well. I'm not saying EJ doesn't have to play better, he does, but I thought he played a lot better than his stat line yesterday.
Clock management was also much better, I thought.
