‘It was not a good day for new offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt and he admitted as much afterward. He did not adapt to the different schemes the Saints were using, especially lacking in terms of a counter to zone blitzes. On defense, Perry Fewell came up with a nickel package that helped derail the Saints’ lethal passing game, but they were gouged the defense on the ground for 222 yards. As for Dick Jauron, he deferred after winning the coin toss and allowed the Saints to possess the ball first and they went right down and took a 7-0 lead. He pooch kicked after the Bills’ only score which gave the Saints the ball at their 41. He ordered a punt on 4th-and-1 from the 28 with 7:41 left and the Bills trailing 17-7. On the Saints last TD, the Bills had only 10 men on the field. It was not a good day for the head coach.’
