On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is going over several of his biggest takeaways after spending time watching back the film from the Buffalo Bills 31-19 victory over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday at Highmark Stadium to earn their fourth consecutive win to start the season.
It was a mixed bag for the Bills on Sunday as it usually is, plenty of good things to highlight as well as bad to criticize but of course it's always most important to remember that winning in the NFL is never easy and the Bills have now done so four times without a loss and in doing so are the only remaining undefeated team in the AFC.
This episode's always a favorite for Patrick because unlike the immediate instant live reaction shows that follow games, there's an opportunity to sleep on some thoughts to remove some instant emotion and more importantly spend hours the next day going through the film and seeing what your gut instinct was right and wrong about. A few things Patrick immediately acknowledges and discusses that differ from the live postgame show is not giving enough credit to Cole Bishop for his interception near the end of the first half and being far too critical initially on right tackle Ryan Van Demark and defensive tackle DaQuan Jones.
Not a lot of time is spent talking about the offense because they were their usual stellar self, but the defense and in particular the run defense remains ghastly. Patrick points out several instances from the film that between missed tackles, being out of position and just not winning their reps was at times hard to watch.
Speaking of, Patrick saves his biggest criticism for linebacker Dorian Williams, who had perhaps the worst game of his career. That's discussed and plenty more including how Curtis Samuel's return effected the offense and much more.
