Some observations

A few observations from the game:

Priest Holmes is da man. Yes, we already knew this. But now Priest is even more da man. He's like the six million dollar man. He had bursts of speed that I haven't seen from him in years. The 30 yard run was great, but what really impressed me were those 8 and 9 yard bursts up the middle, the little runs that looked like nothing at first but became good gains. I'm excpecting a big game out of him.

5-yard chuck rule? What 5-yard chuck rule? We all thought that the new enforcements would help Tony G immensely. Well, it did jack squat. Gonzo got rapedall day, as usual. Everytime there was a flag on a play intended for him, I would think "Finally!" But soon finally would turn to "aw $#!+", because the penalties all on him! Maybe I'm overreacting, but it seems like a defense can't shut down Tony that easily without doing something illegal.

The defense... still sucks. I was a Gunther guy. I'll admit it. Now it's only one game, but the D really didn't look much better than last year. They'll still get the turnovers, but they gave up the big play way too much. Vonnie Holliday bit on the bootleg every freakin' time. As John Madden say, "On that play there were about eleven bites!". So by that count, there were about 132 bites in this game. The linebackers were actually one of the brighter parts of the D. Fooj did very well from what I saw, and of course Monty Beisel made a great interception. There were some promising stops and turnovers, so I wouldn't panic. Yet.

Lawerence Tynes! MY MAN! "The Flying Scotsman", as I've decided to like to call him, has skills. He hit a 50-yarder that Mort would have thrown his back out attempting, and almost hit a 58 yarder that Mort would have had a heart attack just thinking about. It was Denver, yes, so the air is thinner, but I thik Tynes will certainly be a huge improvement.

Wide Recivers are a concern. Ay ay ay. This isn't good. You can't rely on Priest and Tony G to carry the whole team. Morton, Kennison, and Hall need to step up and make catches. Dear lord, please bring Keenan McCardell unto us!

The season ain't over As JBret pointed out: Bills 31, Patriots 0. The season is certainly not over. We never do well in Denver, so this is not a harbinger of doom by any means. Actually, I think that this loss may actually be a good thing. They don't have the pressure that they had last year during their winning streak. The D showed some promise at some points. This loss will fuel them the rest of the season, and I expect no less than 11-5 and a divison crown.
