The Pats* attacked the run game and made Tyrod beat them. The Pats* also won the one on one matchups with their pass rushers and seemingly threw in some blitzes to keep the pressure on. So you had a offense that was not able to run the ball and a QB that was consistently under pressure. Just not a good combo. But the Pats* defense didn't adjust or slacked against Taylor and Shady's more spread out run and pass oriented attack. Once the run game got going it opened up the offense and you saw the team give the Pats* a legit scare with the help of the defense creating a turnover.

He busted up a few plays but yeah he wasn't hugely disruptive. Suh should have had a grade fairly neutral or small positive grade.

Any ranking should have the Bills between 5-10 this week. Objectively they are a top 10 team. Subjectively is where in the top 10 do you place them.

If Miller is 100% keep him in there, the starting unit needs to grow and Miller will only stand to improve. I think Miller's play from my uneducated eye has been decent and when Urbik stepped in he looked solid. I say with Miller sit him if he needs a week off, Urbik looks like he could fill in for a game.

Lets just see how the year shakes out, 3 games in fairly good results but it's a long season. The circumstances that led to Pettine leaving are unlikely to line up again for Roman but it's still possible.

The Jets saw Fitz's flaws this week. I still think he is a good QB for the Jets. The Jets have a very good defense and solid special teams, they have enough playmakers on offense to move the ball enough. And Fitz is a QB who can play within a system and get the ball out to his receivers enough. But Fitz will turn the ball over if asked to go out and win a game more often then not. He also will have trouble generating offense unless his skill position players are going hot.

Harvin has looked like the weapon he was in Minnesota and in Seattle's playoff run. But he needs to stay healthy. With Harvin the issues were always health and locker room. So far he seems to be doing well in both. If the price was fair I would like to see Harvin stay, been too valuable a weapon.

You have to sit him a week or two, even three if that's what it takes. This team has good enough RB options and needs a healthy McCoy later in the season.

Last year the team had I would say the worst or among the worst guard play in the NFL. So far InCog has come in and given the team a great LG and Miller a capable RG. Even if InCog regresses a bit to being an above average guard like he was most of his career that is still so far ahead of what the team had last year and longer term Miller looks to be someone who can develop. Wood is an OK to slightly above average center and Glenn is a decent LT. Neither are where they were several years ago when they looked to be studs. But neither are bad players and they are playing modestly better than they were last year (Which I think in part is helped by the better guards they are surrounded with). As far as Henderson he has improved modestly as well but still isn't anything great at RT although he could prove to be a solid starter.

The O-lines improvement has stemmed from him. Glenn, Wood, and Henderson are looking a little better but they still leave more to be desired, but playing next to a monster guard in InCog the first 3 games has made everyone look better. Miller also being a better guard than anyone they had last year even if he hasn't been amazing the fact that he has put out capable guard play is a upgrade.

Glimore's option for next year was picked up so he isn't a free agent till after next year. Glenn won't be extended until after the season. The Bills need the whole season to look at him and I think Glenn is going to take his chances playing out the year and not taking a cheaper deal. I would love to see the Bills lock up Bradham asap. Get Bradham locked up because if you leave him out on the market he is going to get paid and be worth it. As far as Harvin they can restructure his deal to keep him on the roster. I think if Darby solidifies his play the Bills can cut McKelvin to free up money. Also Mario's deal can be tinkered with to free up more cap space. As far as Taylor I don't think the Bills think about extending him until the season is over. Let him give you a full year sample size before you make a bigger commitment. Also you can have it so his extension gets signed and doesn't kick in till 2017 mitigating the impact on the 2016 salary (By then you can dump/redo McCoy and some other big contracts). Overall I am just worried about the 2015 season. The Window to win in the NFL is small so the Bills need to just move forward with the roster they have now.

I had the Bills at 10-6 when the year started. I am always a little down on the Bills just the nature of being a fan for a long time. But I still stand by 10-6 and a wildcard still somewhat optimistic.

Any word on what they got for Cassell. I can't imagine they got a very good pick but a 5th rounder would be nice.

With the Bills wait a year or two before getting a QB's jersey. McCoy is a decent choice he will probably be a really good player for 2-4 more years.

Fast start he totaled 6.5 all last year. Either he is making a huge improvement this year or he just had two really good games in a row.

Small sample size but good sign that he is playing well. Hopefully McKelvin can add another good corner to the mix and really allow Rex to dial things up with pressure.

The Pats* defense isn't very good they got killed by the Steelers week 1 esp in terms of yardage and looking unable to stop the Steelers except for their kicker. They lost Wilfork and their starting corners during free agency and have suffered injuries at other positions.

I don't think Rex is that far thinking nor would that even make much sense (You need to win games in the regular season first). It's tempting to think that Rex has some sort of long con going because of how poorly coached the defense was and considering how the Jets in 2010 lost 45-3 to the Pats* late in the year only to turn around and beat them 28-21 (With a TD scored with 1:17 in the game by the Pats*) in the playoffs. But while I do think that it's likely and at the very least possible that the Bills second effort against the Pats* will see a much better result defensively, I don't think the first poor effort was something intended.

If the Eagles have a really crappy 6 or less win season then I can see Chip getting fired. The team was completely reworked in his image and if they fall on their face it all is on Chip Chipperson.

Seems like a fairly meh move. Prototypical third string QB. Would have liked to have gone with a veteran guy but getting a draft pick for Matt Cassell isn't a bad move at all.

Taylor needs to get comfortable working in the pocket. Much like Russell Wilson, Taylor looks to get out of the pocket often even when the pressure might not be there. Taylor is very good when working outside the pocket and I do think Roman should work some waggle plays in like Seattle runs. However if a QB only works out of the pocket then that QB is very limited and limits the offense. The O-Line needs to protect better but Taylor also needs to avoid scrambling into pressure and get more comfortable working in the pocket. Taylor is still developing obviously, so I think he can improve but there needs to be a significant amount of improvement.

Once Fitz is forced to win a game the Jets will see how limited he can be. But right now the Jets defense is rolling and their offense hasn't faced a good defense just yet.

Pretty good amount of positives. Lots of negatives too but I think there were some marks in the plus collum.

Brady and the Pats* have a lot of teams numbers. There really isn't a team with Brady's number. If you look at the teams that have supposably had Brady's number (The Ravens, Broncos, and Giants) they have all gotten !@#$ed by Brady at times.

If it's conclusive then fine the Bills.
