Don't forget the run to the Championship in 2010. They were terrific then as well. I agree that this game establishes our o line as dominant. Buffalo is as good a defense as any in the league.Stud: Offensive line. The Buffalo has probably the best DL in the NFL and the offensive line was not overmatched. In fact, there were plays that we were pushing them around. AR had lots of time. This is the best performance ever by a Campen coached OL.
The defense played very well against a below average offense.
I would say we controlled the LOS on both sides, which usually results in a win. Lacy, Starks, and Cobb were finding the holes and ripping off yards. Rogers and the passing game was simply "off", which certainly was partially due to Buffalo's defense, but also can be explained as an aberration. The drops were unusual. We're not used to see Rogers' bullets aimed at spaces where no players occupy. If the passing game was its usual self, we win going away even in spite of the punt return.
Actually, I'm ok with this loss and very encouraged about our chances in the playoffs.
