4 passing TD's and what would have been 5 but Sammy got a little carried away.
None of those passes by Orton would have been possible if the Bills didn't run the ball against the vaunted NY Jets run defense.
The Bills running game was like a slow cooked pot roast that helped set up the 4/would be 5 TD passes that blew out the Jets.
I saw a big difference between CJ Spiller and Boobie Dixon.
Dixon never once tried to break outside, he pounded and punched the ball for 3 or 4 yards up the middle on first down instead of 1 or 2 yards by Spiller, and Dixon got another 2 or 3 on second down setting up 3rd and 5 situations throughout the game.
Dixon and Brown delivered punishing runs against the Jets defensive front and wore them down over time. That's why coaches like to run the ball up the middle of the defense, to soften them up by delivering small, punishing blows that gradually wear them down throughout the game.
Gaining 3 yards up the middle against one of the best run defenses in the NFL is not easy.
Doug Marrone delivered some of his own, "ground and pound," chuck meat medicine to Rex Ryan.
Orton got sacked 4 times. Sure, let's pass more....seriously?
Look how that worked out in Houston. The Bills passed all day and got burned.
Imagine how many times Orton would have been sacked if the Bills threw the ball more?
Zero turnovers and 4 scores on 17 passes.
Win.
On a side note, I think the Bills have a lot more plays designed for Sammy Watkins that haven't been seen yet...routes that haven't been run or seen on film.
If your defense is in total control of the game, why whip out your offensive plays for the rest of the NFL to see when you don't have to?
