Bills slap Seahawks around
The Buffalo Bills sunday beat the Seattle Seahawks in a blowout 34-10. Many media outlets say that the special teams are the big story, however the real story is the performance of the other units.
Simply, the defense for the Bills was dominate. They allowed only 252 total yards of offense on the day.
The big story for them is the defensive line, as they were dominant all day long. The defensive line allowed ony the Seahawks three headed monster to rush for 85 yards total. Also, the Bills sacked Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselback five times, with defensive tackle Kyle Williams leading the way with one and a half sacks.
The offense wowed people, as it was a completely different looking offense from last year.
The amazing thing from the offense was the play of quarterback Trent Edwards, who did not play in a game in two weeks. Edwards completed 19 of 30 passes for 215 yards and one touchdown. If that was rusty, then I cannot fathom what sharp looks like.
Another big development from the offense is the distribution of the football.
In training camp it was mentioned that the offense would integrate the tight end more into the offense. Bills offensive coordinator Turk Schonert was not kidding, as Bills tight end Robert Royal had the number of catches on the day with six.
The last time that this happened was probably in the mid 90’s when Jim Kelly was quarterback, and Pete Metzelaars was the starting tightend.
With Tom Brady suffering a season ending torn anterior cruciate ligament injury, you can see that news coming as it was the same exact way Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer tore his ACL in the playoffs a couple of years ago, and with today’s performance the AFC East is the Bills to lose.
