Thank You Ed Reed And The Offense

[JoeCool#5]

You guys clearly play rock solid. Reed, you are amazing 2 INTs and a force fumble. There is a reason why you are a first ballot HOF and you clearly were missed.
Offense we needed all 37 points today. Joe and company your never say die attitude help put us over the top. Hats off to the running game, you guys ground pounded your way to a victory for the defense has been on a bye week since the 4Q of the Pats game.
Great job guys. Yeah the Bills are 0-6, you showed alot of character out there being down 14 early.

Rest well boys.

Before you give the offense credit, remember it was the defense that saved the day at the end of the game. The offense was non existent again late in the 4th quarter, and couldn't muster a 1st down in OT, which put the Bills in great field position.

The offensive stats will look great, but it was terrible during the clutch.

Team win IMO. Offense, Defense, and Special Team! Woot!

[Ed_Reed20]

As poorly as they played, not acknowledging the D as part of the win is senseless.

And again, Ed's INTs were pretty fluky. One came off a tipped ball by Ray and the other was because of an overthrown ball by Fitzpatrick who saw huge pressure.

Should we just purge the 500+ yards and 34 points from our memory, that was accumilated on the defense today by the 30th rank offense in the NFL? Like I said congrats offense and Reed on the hard fought win. Rest easy boys.

Thank God for reed and Lewis they saved the day, HOFs indeed.

[JoeCool#5]

Yeah Ray played big in OT. Play to the whistle. hehe.

Are you kidding me? They put up 24 points to put the team in a position to win it and the defense almost blew it again.

How many times did the DBs drop interceptions this season? Ed Reed has hands, period.

Is a couple first downs in the 4th or a first down in OT too much to ask for?
Especially with that defense?

I'm not denying that. He did well to catch both INTs and is obviously a phenomenal player. I'm just saying they were team efforts and not him making a fantastic play.

Is stopping the Bills on 3rd down too much to ask for? Defense is held to a higher regard in Baltimore and they blew it for most of the game.

I would argue we have more talent on offense though....

Is it too much to ask for the defense to actually hold on to a 2 possession lead in the 4th Q, after the offense bails you out from a 14 point hole or do you only play your best defense in OT? The D clearly didnt play any of the previous 4 quarters allowing over 500 yards of offense to a journeyman 2nd string QB who looks like he may get some pro-bowl votes after this game.

Only in baltimore would the fans find a way to complain about an offense the put up 37 points.

Hey let's not forget Cundiff in our thanks here. The way Spiller was tearing us up keeping the ball out of his hands on kickoffs was a big help.
