Let's go fins!

extremely happy with teh defense today, minus that one blow coverage.
extremely displeased with Chad Henne today

Until we lose a game because of Henne i'm not ready to quit on him. This was a tough defensive game and Buffalo came with it. A win is a win. I do agree that Henne better get it going though or we will be drafting yet another QB in April.

Buffalo has a much better secondary than new England and minnesota, henne could've had a better game but I still have faith in him

Impressive game by the offensive line, gave henne a very good amount of time

Marshall had a good game too, first man never brings him down

Yeah he caught 8 passes. I think he could very well lead the NFL in receptions this year which would be great considering the last player we had that did that was OJ McDuffie. Running game was solid I mean whats not to like? Both Drew Brees and Brett Favre had tough starts to the season as well in the Minny NO game the other night. Buffalo is a division rival who was gonna bring it to us no matter how crappy of a team they may be. I expected a dog fight of a game and I really thought we would lose this one but was surprised at the win.

Our secondary needs to step up a little though, bills wide receiving core is not the best and they had an easy touchdown

Our main weaknesses this game was qb and secondary, everything else was pretty solid

Happy with the win, surprised how negative some Fins fans are being.

Divisional road games are tough to win, period. The Bills beat us and the Jets last year, oh and ask the Colts how their day went today. We took care of business and dominated the game statistically and won, that's all that matters.

Jason Allen/Sapp were very good today. C.Clemons impressed me the most on defense; every time I looked up he was in the play.

WTH happened to Sean Smith? I know Allen was starting over him but he didn't get any playing time today.

Vikings are up next! Bret Farve looked old in his first game of the season, hopefully he doesnt find the fountain of youth before we run into him next week. Our offense needs to be ready.

Sean Smith needs this. The guy has so much talent but sometimes it takes being benched or sat down to understand being talented doesn't guarantee you anything.

He didn't fit into the game plan. Both Sean Smith and Jason Allen are much better outside corners than inside, and Sapp was brought in to be the nickel back and cover the slot. Smith isn't quick or fluid enough in his movements to cover a slot receiver, especially the nifty Roscue Parrish types.

He'll see the field next week against Minnesota's attack, although they're without Sidney Rice of course.

I think they're playing the mental game with Sean Smith right now. As long as he knows that, understands it, and uses it as motivation like it's intended by the coaching staff.... he'll be alright.

Meanwhile, I was very impressed with Jason Allen and Chris Clemons. Sapp was OK, but he's no Will Allen as we know. Aside from the one major miscue (which was on Culver) the only issue I had with the secondary was the two droped pick-6's by Allen and Smith. Just more frustrating than usual after watching the Hurricanes' secondary drop 4-5 right in the hands the day before.

I really love this defense by the way. Unfortunately, Mike Nolan is going to become a head coach again in no time. This defense is fun. They swarm the ball carrier on every down.... 3-4 guys or more in on every tackle. And while we don't exactly have the greatest personnel in the world, Nolan's creativity in scheme has created what looks to be a dynamic pass rush.

Really think Cam Wake can have a huge season this year, and we know the consistency we'll get from Dansby, Starks, Bell, Davis, and a few of the other guys. It's going to be all about guys like Misi, Clemons, Langford, and Allen/Smith growing and becoming really solid players, and they're all off to a strong start with the exception of Smith, though I think he'll be fine. I think that, coupled with a few potential surprises in Francis and perhaps Carpenter.... this defense can be top 5.

Cam Wake and our entire defensive front was bringing pressure. They got pressure with 4 rushers also which is key. Trent Edwards did a good job of letting it go quick. Our D really was impressive. 1-0 baby!!! tied for first!!!!

Ravens in a dogfight with the Jets tonight. Every game counts and we need Baltimore to take this one. Everyone here talks about how bad Henne was on Sunday.. check this.... Sanchez through three q's thus far. 37 yards passing nuff said.

Mark Sanchez and the jets offense are trash, if henne can have a solid game we can beat em, but jets defense did look strong

Our defense looked good as well.
