Brian Moorman's annual touchdown pass to Ryan Denney, always a nice surprise, helped the Bills stay in this game. That and the defence which, until it could not stop the run in the 4th quarter, pretty much held Drew Brees and the Saints offence in check. Too bad the Bills offence couldn't rise to the occassion today. The Saints secondary was apparently their weak spot but the Bills had little success against it or in any offensive category. New Orleans literally ran away with this game in the 4th quarter.
This was the best defensive performance of the year. The 2 big interior linemen - Williams and Stroud - were outstanding and the rest of the group looked inspired and effective until the offence stalled completely and they could hold on no more. Give credit to the Saints defence. This team looks like it will contend for a top seed in the NFC playoff picture.
The Dolphins lost at San Diego yesterday. They are 0-3 now coming home to face the Bills. They know that going 0-4 is a tough hole to climb out of. They were 11-5 last year. Is it reasonable to think Buffalo can go into Miami and win? The Dolphins are nowhere near the kind of team that New Orleans is. Chad Pennington was injured and Chad Henne could be starting next week. Their third string QB is not named Chad. Either way, I'm not feeling that confident about it.
TO's streak, which began in 1996, of 185 games with a reception is over. His "press conference" afterward featured him saying "just going with the plays that are called" about 10 times in the 2 minutes it lasted. Why does he bother?
