I was happy for the most part with the offense, except for the receiving. I knew going in I was going to have trouble this year in the pass game and you can tell that by looking at my receiving corps. I'm going to be using Spiller quite a bit as a pass catching back, so he'll definitely have a good amount of catches by the end of the year. I was happy with the play of rookie WR Kenneth Welsh and you caught a beautiful over the shoulder 48 yd TD pass from Phillips at the end of the 1st half. We really need to cut down the on the fumbles (3 and all in the 1st half) and take better care of the ball, especiall in close games such as this.

Defensively we played pretty well, although I'm disappointed in my starts (Mario Williams and Jairus Byrd) as they only had 1 tackle each. Cushing was all over the field beating people up and Kyle Williams was a force in the run game, stopping Donald Brown in the backfield for a loss on 3 separate occassions. Justice Caine is the only rookie on defense and he showed up to play in his first game with 5 tackles (2 TFL), a FF and a sack. Gilmore and Aaron Williams each had clutch INTs on key Indianapolis drives that sealed the game for us. We contained the run game extremely well except for a huge play from Brown (68 yd). Reggie Wayne was a little more difficult to stop, as he had a few big plays (40 yd and 62 yd catches) but other than that we did ok.

My offensive line held up very nicely and allowed only 1 sack, part of this is due to Phillips' mobility and could fairly easily get away from the rush. Phillips did show good awareness in the pocket when the rush was coming and didn't force any throws, his 1 INT came off a tip at the line (can't remember who got ahold of it) and Jenkins' was blitzing and fell right into his hands.

This was a nice Week 1 victory and really showed some promise for my young Bills' team. I'm looking forward to the Pats next week at home.
