Breaking down Bears' snaps at Buffalo

Well, Jay Cutler threw 1 interception in the first half and should’ve had 2. Brett Basanez threw 3 interceptions in the fourth quarter and should’ve had 2. Any way you add or subtract it, the Bears offense wasn’t sharp in Saturday’s 27-20 loss at Buffalo.

But we’ll save the analysis for my teammate Bob LeGere’s stories in Sunday’s paper and on the Herald web site almost any minute now. I’m just here to break down the snaps at each position. Unofficially, Buffalo and its no-huddle attack ran 81 plays from scrimmage compared to the Bears’ 51.

RB Matt Forte, TE Greg Olsen, DT Tommie Harris, FS Danieal Manning, CB Peanut Tillman, CB Zackary Bowman and LS Patrick Mannelly did not play.
