We're 3-0??? Really??? Really???
Jason Peters didn't look very sharp once again, but neither did any other O lineman. The run blocking still isn't quite there. I still wonder why this team doesn't do more straight ahead drive blocking w/ the size of their line. Ah well, smarter men than I devise these schemes. I'll trust 'em to know the deal.
What a run by Marshawn on the first TD. The guy is all heart.
Trent Edwards shook off a not so stellar start to really make the difference down the stretch. I like the progress he seems to be making. He's not a finished product yet, but you have to be encouraged by the development. Okay, you don't have to.......but you'd better.
For future reference: a play is over once the player scores by crossing the goal line. That's it. Done. No more. Thanks for playing.
Posluszny had a much better performance in coverage than in the first game. I like his intensity and his hustle. Where did he play his college ball? Hmm....
The Raiders obviously made a point to stress special teams for this game. Well, it worked fairly well for them. Their special teams were very good. Lechler looked like the guy who has been punting in the wind tunnel known as RICH Stadium for a decade. The guy was clutch. Our return men were held in check for the most part also due to Lechler's punting. Since I'll be in attendance next week, here's to hoping the Bills' special teams get back to business.
Lee Evans, you want a nice hefty contract? Show up.
Back to Edwards. For a guy who doesn't have much of an arm, he sure has made some very nice throws on the too few occasions where the offense challenges opposing defenses down the field.
Bottom line: we dominated in Week 1, found a way to win in adverse conditions (on the road, good team, blistering heat) in Week 2, and overcame a lackluster performance @ home to get another win in Week 3. In situations that many (myself included) probably would've just chalked up another heartbreaking Bills loss, they are getting it done. That is very encouraging. There's still plenty of things to work on, but I am still very thrilled @ the direction this team is heading in. I know it's very early, but the indicator is that this team certainly isn't the "same old Bills". Thank goodness.
GO BILLS!
