Recipe for Bills' success: produce enough offense to get ahead and force Ray Lucas to try to come from behind. Then let your D just pick him off!
How great was that? The Miami defense, allegedly the strong aspect of this team, flopped in a big way as Travis Henry (Yes, I believe now- and admit I was wrong on his improvement!) helped take the heat off of Drew by running over Jason taylor and those other bums.
Drew's bomb to Eric Moulds kept the pass D at bay.
And the D contained Ricky and forced Miami to rely on Ray Lucas of all people.
In reality, the game should've been a bigger blowout. The offense was not as sharp as it could have been- the o-line didn't give Bledsoe much time and Moulds and Price dropped a few catchable balls. Also, the failure to try to run the ball in the last half of the fourth quarter kept giving the fins the ball back.
But- those are details. Bottom line: a HUGE win over a team that is now exposed as no better than anyone else- that vaunted D is nothing special. There is ABSOLUTELY no reason why the Bills can't explode into a true contender.
