I laugh every time I read that Light sucked tonight.. that just indicates the football IQ of the person. He did not do too badly against an elite DE

I'm no Maroney fan but you're so wrong here it hurts. He didn't dance on that first drive, he ran straight to where he was supposed to and ran into 2 defenders. What, now he's supposed to dance?

Honestly, my thoughts can be summed up as: if this game wasn't enough to quiet seymour and watson's critics, nothing will. There are a couple TEs in the league, max, athletic enough to shred the cover 2 like he did tonight.
Actually this game typified my issues with Watson. He's too streaky. For every athletic TD he drops an easy pass that hits him in the hands like happened today.

I'd rather have a more reliable and less-talented player at his position.

3. Why did they get away from the run. Throwing it 50+ times in a game is going to get more people hurt. Maroney ran with power and decisiveness. Taylor did a good job.

4. The OL needs some major help. I don't know what it is but they were terrible and have been since the 07 post season. Has Light hit the wall? He seemed to have a lot of issues. Neal also didn't do to well.

5. The DL is a big question. But can I be the first to say "WOW" on TBC. Did he come to play or what!! I think a 4-3 DL is the way to go. Didn't see to much of Burgess as he seemed to get pushed fairly easily out of position.

6. WR's - they are a scary bunch. Another big high 5 for Watson. How many on this board wanting him gone during preseason. His speed is what keeps him in NE. Moss, Galloway, and big Watson all have 4.4 speed or better.

7. DB's - hard to say how they done with two very good receivers in Owens and Evans. Meriweather sure was laying the wood on the Bills tonight.

8. LB's - as I said. Guyton was pressed into duty and did a good job. He constantly improves in every game he plays. But he's no Mayo.

9. Brady - I was ready to throw something thru the TV after the first 2 series. But he sure came back the rest of the game. His throws were like lasers. I think he really need those first few series to get back in game "comfort". The rest of the defenses they face this year better be wary.

10. Officiating - I counted no less than 11 offensive holdings, trips, and clips on the Bills Offense without one call. The 2 roughing calls were completely BS.

Overall, pleased with a win, but don't know if my blood pressure can take many of these type games this year.

Lucky????? What does luck have to do with hitting hard and not giving up?

You mean the drive he killed when the o-line totally collapsed and Maroney was met with a wall of defenders in the backfield? You do realize that most of the time when the RB is tackled for a loss, the o-line plays a big role in that?

Its probably going to be a theme all week long. I suppose we should get used to it. I guess people think that Aaron guy sucks

Matt Light sucks and has for some time, get Vollmer in there!
Light is still an above average LT, not spectacular but doesn't suck. He just has match up problems with Aaron Schobel.
