Lower bowl nobody sits, it's a way of life.

At this point in time just getting a win was a huge uplift for the fan base and players. Who knows how many more games this team will win this season. So can we just savor the win and worry about the Patriots next weekend for now?

Kyle Williams is a poor fit in a two-gap scheme as those players are usually bigger and stronger who need to wrestle the tackles to control the gaps rather than rush the passer through one gap. It was clear yesterday that Kyle is more of a fit in a one-gap scheme and utilized in that scheme he can return to his pro bowl form. So when the defense runs mostly a two-gap scheme all last year there was a real reason for the drop off from all those pro bowl pass rushers. I still don't get the half right thing.

I'll say Rex Ryan for firing Greg Roman at the right time and getting his defense on track for this game. When the run game works it helps the defense so much and those two good corners can do their jobs better when there is a good rush on the QB. Yea, Kyle looked like his old self and Shady was outstanding! If Hughes could ever end his penchant for penalties he would be a true superstar. Good win that the team and fans really needed!

We saw this last year too. Best not to get delerious over one win, at home and against an NFC team that flew in from the west coast. Should the Bills beat the Bradyless Patriots then some delerium can start I agree as the only team they have beaten so far were the 49ers who were getting smoked by the Seahawks 37-3 for most of yesterday.

No, it's 100% right. Williams is a pro bowler and he is a better fit in a one-gap scheme without a doubt! Ryan ran his two-gap scheme the majority of the time last year and it was the biggest reason for the drop off in sacks, no question! Not to mention both Mario and Dareus complaining about how they were being utilized in Ryan's scheme since around training camp. Probably ran that two-gap more than he should have because he didn't want to look like Pettine with being #2 in sacks but 25th against the run. Ryan mixed it up far too much last year with so many looks, fronts and not much really worked. It was easy to see which games he ran that one-gap more often and it was in the second game against the Patriots and the last game against the Jets among others. This game he started out using a two-gap and stuffed the run, got the lead and was able to use his one-gap 3-4 for which he was so well known for and it worked so well because the Bills had the lead. When the Bills run game works and the team gets the lead it helps the Bills defense work too.

The only team the Cards beat so far was the 49ers who were getting destroyed by the Seahawks most of yesterday by 37-3 and the hawks allowed points in garbage time late in the game. The Cardinals kept attempting to emulate the Jets by going for the deep ball and it kept biting them in the azz. They looked nothing like the team that won the NFC West last year, save the late season games against the Seahawks and Panthers when Carson Palmer threw a combined 7 picks in those two games. Arians had his head up his posterior most of that Bills game by constantly going deep instead of just trying to move the chains. The Bills got the lead and Ryan started calling a one-gap rush and it worked. The thing is i kinda doubt TT is going to win many other games by throwing 14 of 25 for 119 yards and one INT. He did have 9 rushes for 76 yards and a TD with his wheels. It just goes to show what Ryan's defense can do when the run game works and the team gets the lead in a game.

He is a pro bowler when used in a one-gap 3-4 like he was yesterday and he is a bad fit in a 3-4 two-gap like he was mostly used in last year. There was a real reason why the team fell on it's face in sacks last year and it had nothing to do with the players.

Amen! 34 to 3 What that Philly defense did to the Steelers is just nucking futz. Big Ben 24 of 44 for 257, one INT! wow! D. Williams 8 attempts for 21 yards. This against a team that scored an average of 31 pts per the first two games. Meanwhile, Wentz threw for 300 yards and two TD's. 426 offensive yards for the Eagles vs 251 for the Steelers

I'll be honest here as some things leave me somewhat apprehensive about this game. Like, how good are the Cardinals this year when the only team they beat is the 49ers who are also about to be 1-3 and are currently getting smoked 37-3 most of that game against the Seahawks! I have to ask myself if the Cards are as bad as they looked by attempting to throw deep all day instead of just trying to get first downs. Palmer had 4 INT's looking like crap throwing all those bombs. Very strange game plan for them, really. Arizona had more first downs, more ToP, and less penalties. Then, the Jets looked pretty darn good last Thursday and they are getting beaten up by the Chiefs 17-3. Then Baltimore not looking that great win a win against the 0-3 Jags 19-17. I don't know how many more games the Bills can win with Tyrod 17 of 110, one INT. Clearly, when the opponent shuts down the Bills run game this get really bad for Buffalo and when the run game works it gives them a chance.

Great win for Bills fans! Good to get a win at home!

This game is what happens when the run game for Buffalo is working as it keeps the defense fresh and off the field. Plus the Bills pass rush was actually working today and it gave the Bills secondary a big hand.

When you can run the ball everything works... Bills secondary not as bad as they looked last week

Cards might need to start looking at new QB's

wow 60 yards!

Jeez, annnddd just like that!

Bills D going prevent...to perhaps prevent a win?

It's really what happened last year! It also gives Ryan's defense a shot to perform well too. Can't run, can't win.

This is kinda what most expected from week one and as long as it eventually showed up it's still good. 1-2

Anyone for smoked bird?

awesome!!!

17-7 lead is better than i expected

What, does Palmer need a quarter and a half to warm up?

Flags flyin all over now....

Ruh Oh...
