Isn't nice to see an opposing team that's having more issues than the Bills. This was a well needed and a well deserved win. I only have a few things to get off my chest...........
1) Most of us have said it for all year, and I would like to reiterate, that Henry is the nucleus of this team - not Bledsoe! The OL did exceptionally well against the Skins D, opening holes when needed, but give it up for Henry. He looked more viberant and aware today then I have ever seen him. Cutting back across field when holes were clogged - since when? Nice to see - keep it coming.
2) Gilbride? *Ahem*.......that draw play to Henry on an all out Skins blitz, on 3rd and long, was uncharchteristically genius of you. Screen plays, rather than 40 yard bombs to Campbell were certainly rewarded. Running the ball 35 times in one game
??? A play action pass in the RED ZONE?? I don't get it? Who slipped the smart pill into Gilbride's coffee this morning? I'll actually let the QB draw play slide on 1st and 20. After reviewing the Skins D in that play, if Drew hits the hole properly, he gains an easy 6 to 8 yards. Drew hit the hole more like a QB sneeking a first down rather then a runner gaining ground.
3) Antonio Brown........please alleviate this guy of his return duties. I'm tired of seeing this guy run 45 yards to gain only 2 or 3. I'd like to see McGahee back there when the time comes.
4) Bledsoe......other then the similar play clock issues that we have seen in past weeks, and a few more wasted timeouts, he played a rather well game. The fumble was a crock but the INT is expected to make a weekly appearance. I like Drew in his more subserveant role. Can Gilbride stay on track here?
5) Reed......Although I don't understand the right eye under marking, he showed himself today what it means to catch the ball. What an outstanding catch he made over Bailey's back in the 1st Qrtr. He even caught the wide open pass in the endzone this time. I had to keep looking at his jersey to make sure it read 82. I didn't see Andre Reed on the field for Talley's celebration, so I though that there could have been a chance that he suited up in place of Josh today. I later learned Andre Reed was doing commentary for the Falcons Saints game.
6) Gregg Williams...... One win against a struggling Skins team does not win me over. In fact, Gregg did something on the field today that sealed the deal for me. He will not return next season. The official had just called holding on WR # 88 Neufield. The cameras instantly panned to Williams to retrieve his reaction. Williams then screamed onto the field at the official (the camera caught all of this) "88? We don't even have an 88!". One word sums this up - ******.
7) Takeo Spikes.....apparently stood up in a players meeting this week and made some amazing comments. While the players aren't revelaing what exactly those comments were, it's nice to see a team leader taking responsibilty and pushing the team forward.
8) Rob Johnson.........thanks for the laughs.
9) Bruce Smith.........he may have lost a step, but he still has the juice. Bruce was giving the line fits all day. Infact, he came within a foot of that sack record around a 1/2 dozen times.
10) Thanks to the Pats the Bills are once again back in the AFCE race. 4-3 looks much nicer then 3-4.
Improvement in fluidity and minimizing stupid mental errors is still needed. KC will be a much tougher foe next week.
