While he didn’t play a down during his first year in the league, Perriman got his second season off to a strong start with a spectacular catch late in the first quarter of Sunday’s season opener against the Buffalo Bills. “[The secondary] did a great job on some double moves and some schemes that they had to try to get some big plays”.

Yanda, who turns 32 on September 15, knows the Bills defense will be aggressive under head coach Rex Ryan, the former defensive coordinator for the Ravens.
“It was a good start”, Flacco said.
Taylor took exception when asked after the game if he was being conservative, instead saying he was “taking what the defense was giving me”. That defense played extremely well. But they still kept giving it to McCoy, who still kept getting slammed: Seven carries for 19 yards.
The Bills managed just two yards of offense in the opening quarter and trailed 3-0 after Tucker hit a 50-yard field goal.
Taylor used his quickness to avoid a ferocious pass rush, but he had little success passing downfield. He started 14 games for the Bills past year, throwing for over 3,000 yards and 20 touchdowns while adding 568 yards on the ground.
“Man, it was scripted just how you envisioned it as a defensive player”, Weddle said.
The Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills both have a lot to prove in 2016, and we’ll find out what they’re made of in Week 1. Tyrod was one out of five last season with Tennessee being the lone victory. The safeties were playing very deep and they were giving us everything underneath. The score remains Baltimore 10 Buffalo 7. Add in there that he scored the only touchdown for the Bills on one-inch line lunge and McCoy was the best player on the entire Buffalo Bills’ offense.
The Bills have their quarterback in Tyrod Taylor now locked up moving forward. Bills DT Jerel Worthy left with a knee injury in the fourth quarter and did not return. You wondered how they would bounce back after halftime, especially with left tackle Cordy Glenn apparently out for the day with an ankle injury.
Taking a lot of flack this preseason for not getting another skilled wide receiver, Sammy Watkins and Robert Woods proved that they can not do it alone this season.
The offence struggled right out of the gate, finishing the first quarter with negative two rushing yards and a whopping four passing yards. Watkins finished with four catches for 43 yards. 2015 marked the Ravens’ first losing season under ninth-year head coach John Harbaugh. Newly signed wide receiver Mike Wallace caught three passes for 91 yards, including a 66-yard touchdown that provided a 10-0 lead in the second quarter. Suggs had a sack. Still, they gained only 92 yards in the first half – to 225 for the Ravens.
The chemistry between Pitta and quarterback Joe Flacco is well documented.

Perriman, who is listed a 6-foot-2 and 215 pounds, physically over-powered Bills’ cornerback Stephon Gilmore a dramatic ball-spin afterward. That’s what we’re trying to get him to do. The question is whether we fans can hang on that long, as our patience with this team, general manager, coach is razor thin.
