Re: Everyone's thoughts on ONLY the defense.....
The Bills had 3 offensive linemen who'd never played a game in the NFL. They were missing their #1 running back. They have a quarterback who plays scared. T.O. and Evans were essentially taken out of the game. They won because Meriweather and Woods made a great play on special teams, not because they did anything spectacular on defense.
They won. We're now moving on to looking at the game to read what we can from it. The offense struggled for most of the game. The defensive front seven struggled too. If they don't play much better next week, and much stouter on the lines, they'll get run over by a Jets team that looks as if it plans to play extremely physical.
Sure... though I'm not sure how that addresses anything I said, particularly the part about the Bills having a brand new offense with brand new players in it. What use are stats from last year?
