gorgeousgregg- It was the Indianapolis Colts vs. the Buffalo Bills in a game that only 5 people attended in the debacle known as the Toronto Bills series. The Colts offensive and defensive schemes looked very vanilla. The Bills on the other hand looked like they game planned a little bit as that would be the difference in the 34-21 victory over the Colts.
- CJ Spiller was involved early as he went the distance for a 31 TD run. He looked impressive making defenders miss multiple tackles. The biggest thing to note was his ability to stop and start to get the defense stuck in their blocks as he accelerates in the other direction. He looks to be one of the bright spots for the Bills offense this upcoming season. But we’ll have to see where he fits when Fred Jackson and Marshawn Lynch return to the fold.
- Trent Edwards had some nice plays but don’t buy into the hype of his stat line as the 70 yard touchdown was pretty much a blown play by the defense. But the throw on that play had some nice zip and maybe Chan can really make Trent look like he did before that concussion against the Cardinals in week 6 of the 2008 season. Brian Brohm was impressive and looked like he should leapfrog Fitz in the depth chart which could possibly spell end for the former Cincinnati back-up. Joique Bells had some great plays later on in the game and looks like a lock to the make the team as he finished with 80 yards on 11 rushes with a TD to boot. Levi Brown in clean-up duty was 2-5 for 10 yards.
-The secondary made a great play early as Terrence Mcgee picked off a deflected pass from Peyton Manning. Addai would later find the end zone after he showed Whitner what a punk he really is. (News flash Donte one arm tackles don’t work) They would later get burned over the middle when Manning hooked up with tight end Jacob Tamme for a 21 yard touchdown play. Which is nothing new as most fans are familiar with this in Buffalo. Maybin looked his usual worthless self and the Bills still haven’t learned how to stop the run to the outside. Poz is still getting adjusted to the defense and game speed as he looked pretty lost out there. All in all not a great day for the Bills defense.
-The Special teams were god awful, I think I understand why Wade Phillips fired Bruce Dehaven. This team misses Bobby April immensely.
Good Take, I like Bell too but im thinking practice squad because the Bills have Lynch, Jackson and Spiller. The special teams does need to get better and I to wish Maybin would show us something.
I think the Bills gotta think possible trade. Send Lynch for a good TE or a decent OL guy who can compete with Cornell green who i think is the weakest link so far.
