1 TD and 2 FG's. I am not complaining about 20 points but I would have liked to have seen at least 1 more TD instead of FG. Take TS int/TD away and it's anyone's game. I love the fact that our D and ST can score but it's not something they will do every week. The Bills need at least 2 TD's/per game. I don't want the game to be up to Lindell to win. Even with the wind his kickoffs were short.

Our D is seemingly digressing every game. While they had some great plays today I don't like the fact that SM had so many yards. He is no all star. It seems every time we release an RB we get torched. Antwain Smith, now Sammy Morris. Wuts up wid dat?

Don't forget the field goal that the wind killed. Plus the Bills were on the 1 inch line when they let the clock run out. The score could've been higher had they needed it to be. All this against the #2 D in the league, #1 against the pass, when the wind killed the vertical passing games and any attempts to pass to the sideline.

Another important point is that the defense made some adjustments at halftime that obviously worked, because Morris and the rest of the Miami offense did little in the second half. That is a sign of either good coaching by Gray or good intensity by the Defense, either way it is good sign. Holding the phins to that field goal in the end was a great effort.

As someone who was at the game, I can tell you that the 2nd half was a solid effort by everyone; offense, defense, ST, and coaching. This was a good win for the Bills.

Also starting the last drive at their own 6 and marching it to the Phins 1 to run out the clock was great. I just thought that this was going to be a breakout game for the offense and would have liked to have gotten another TD. I really can't complain about the game, Bledsoe was on, Moulds and Willis were sic, Edwards, Schoebel, Spikes had really good games. It is a game to build on and a win is a win, I want 2 td's though.

Bills could have scored again but coaching staff did not feel need to get extra score. You could see Bledsoe and Lindell both disagreed with call; Bledsoe wanted to go for it and Lindell wanted to go for FG.

I actually wasn't talking about the last drive, but the fact that 1 td in general is still a problem. Yes the Dophins have a good D, and the Bills O had a better game aqainst them than most of the phins opponents this year, but 2 TD's is what it's going to take in most of the games remaining and probalby 3-4 in a few as well.

good intensity of the defense, don't give too much credit to Gray

WM ramming it home for the score with under a minute left on 4th down would have been great. The fans would have gone nuts. It was Miami! No mercy. Let the clock run down to 5 seconds and go for it.

And it would have proved that after 7 rushing plays on the goaline this year the Bills could actually score.

5 games with no rushing TDs is pathetic.

Football coaching 101- Never risk a snap if you don't need to. All it takes is one fumble and a 100 yard return (It happened against Green Bay this year vs Chicago) everyone is screaming for Mularkey's head.


Toss in 0-4 start, and you don't do anything to jeopordize the win. There was nothing to gain except one more hilight in the game film.

To be honest no. 13 points gets the Bills a tie in weeks 1,2 and 5 and still a loss in weeks 2 and 4. I'm happy with the win but 1 TD and still no rushing TD's is a problem. The Bills are going to need another 20 points next week and you can't rely on getting a D TD or TD by the ST every week to get you that win.

That's why they created the kneel down. The game is won, run the clock out. Besides we still have to go to Miami and there is no reason to give them any more ammo to get pumped up for that game.

You know what is good enough for me, just one more point than the other team gets.
