just watched the game on espn nfl last night. thought
the coaching staff did a pretty good job, though it would appear their closing out strategy is not the best.

give staff credit they used the extra week to install a no huddle attack to limit ravens flexibility on D

i think we have two sides of the ball playing very well,
just need to get some more explosiveness offensively.

lee evans was more involved...

all in all, well done...

Okay we got the win...great! Now its time to be devils advocate. I can't imagine why people would even consider giving coaching the game ball. The coaching staff continues to fold in the 4th quarter of games where they have the lead. This team could be 4-2 right now if it wasn't for multiple decisions made in both the Denver and Dallas games. All having to do with clock management and securing 4th the quarter leads.
Secondly the offensive line is not getting the job done. When we have to run the ball in short yardage or kill game clock at the end of games, they fail. In some cases Lynch is having to make moves in the backfield just to get back to the line. When its a running situation, they can not move the line of scrimmage, period. There was also numerous breakdowns in pass protection. This makes it more difficult for Edwards, who has fewer opportunities to get through his reads. He has to capitalize on every second he is allowed.
With that being said I'm incredibly impressed with Edwards and Lynch.
Finally the D-line passed rush is not consistently getting pressure. They have given every QB "Tom Brady like" time to throw. Boller had way to much time to throw on Sunday. The combination of poor pass rush and a prevent defense has been devastating to the 4th quarter leads and will continue to be. Go Bills

I don't think that there was just 'one' person to get a game ball and that's good.

It was a total team effort as it should be.

The last two Bills game were exciting. That's what a Bills fan wants to see.

Those poor Miami Dolphins. lol ; - )

10% of Bills fans are morons....the coaching staff???????
