I went today to wegmans to pick up the Sports Illustrated issue with Sam Adams on the cover, and the article in it was very interesting. At one point, they say Lawyer Milloy knew the defense so he studied the Bills play book and told Gregg Williams what NE will be doing on some Bills offensive plays. As it turns out, the biggest offensive play of the game, would have not worked if Lawyer didn't tell Williams the insight. Also, Takeo Spikes says he wants the Bills defense to be in the same class as the 85' Bears and the 2000 Ravens.
Here's the Milloy part:

Here's the Milloy part:
In the meantime Buffalo and New England tried to focus on their game plans, which were now affected by how much Milloy could help his new team with the knowledge he had of the Patriots' systems. While Bills coach Gregg Williams and offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride were debriefing Milloy, they learned how to beat the Patriots' secondary with a deep seam route they love to run with wideout Eric Moulds. Milloy told the coaches that fourth-year strong safety Antwan Harris, the man who replaced him in New England, would be assigned to provide deep help on Josh Reed, the wide receiver working across the middle on the play. And he said by the time Harris realized that quarterback Drew Bledsoe was going deep to Moulds up the left seam, it would be too late for him to recover and help Law.
"When Lawyer told us that," says Bledsoe, "we knew Ty would be out on an island against Eric and it would be a great play for us."
The perfect time to run it came midway through the first quarter, with Buffalo leading 7-0 but facing a first-and-20 situation on its 11. Bledsoe's execution was brilliant. He first looked to his right, then at Reed flashing across the middle from the left. Then Bledsoe suddenly looked down the left side and threw to Moulds, who had a step on Law. By the time Harris recognized the play, he was three steps late, and the ball settled into Moulds's arms for a 49-yard gain. Law made the tackle, then angrily gestured to Harris that he should have been there to help. "That was a big play," Law said. "[Harris] should have been there. But I screw up some plays too."

There is a sweet two page photo of the Milloy tip/Clements interception in the endzone and the Bills game is the focus article in SI this week. They got some pretty sweet photos in it. The front page, the two page spread, and also a nice photo of Bledsoe.
