Analysis: The Bills did a good job against the Wildcat, so Tebow didn't play as much as expected. ... It was a heavy workload for Schilens, considering he was a non-factor in the preseason due to a high-ankle sprain. His load probably increased when
Patrick Turner pulled a hamstring early in the game. ... Smith, acquired recently from the Rams, already is paying dividends. He helped as an extra blocker/jumbo tight end. Anybody remember
Wayne Hunter? ... Reuland, Sanchez's old high-school teammate, deserves recognition, considering he was picked up on waivers only eight days ago. That's what you call a quick study.
