The Saints went marching on Buffalo
By Connor Price
The Buffalo Bills were handed their worst loss yet this season. The New Orleans Saints trounced the Bills, and it was a complete embarrassment.
Not a whole lot went right for the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. The 47-10 loss against a white-hot New Orleans Saints team is not a good look, but it is the same ol’ Buffalo Bills.
What does this mean for Tyrod Taylor and the Buffalo Bills offense?
Tyrod Taylor and Nathan Peterman found eight different receivers on the field Sunday with tight end, Nick O’Leary, catching the lone touchdown on the day.
LeSean McCoy was given just eight opportunities to tote the football. That is not good. When this team gets down early in the game they panic, and lose the ability to stay cool and run the football like the offense is designed to do. It blows my mind why LeSean McCoy isn’t getting 20+ carries/receptions a game. He is the best player Buffalo has on both sides of the football and it hurts to see him underutilized.
I don’t want to put my money on Tyrod Taylor and Kelvin Benjamin to lead us back from a 20 point deficit against a top team in the NFC. It doesn’t help that when you turn the ball over, it falls into Drew Brees’ hands.
Buffalo is no stranger to playing Hall of Fame quarterbacks, so it was just another day at the office. The difference this time is that Drew Brees had little to do with this win. The Saints’ quarterback meandered through the day while his running backs acquired nearly 300 yards on the ground (298), and six rushing touchdowns.
The Buffalo run defense is what killed us this game, but you don’t need me to tell you that.
This team looked like Buffalo teams of old, and they must bounce back next week against the Chargers in Los Angeles. Tre’Davious White was the lone bright spot on Sunday for the Buffalo Bills.
The question remains, who was more embarrassed the next day? The streaker that ran on the field? Or the Buffalo Bills?
