‘The biggest difference between our team and a team like the Patriots is that they know how to win. The Patriots play consistent football week in and week out and part of that consistency comes from the success that they have had over the last few years. They have done a good job of developing depth on their team and have been able to handle injuries. Our roster is much younger than the Patriots roster, but we would like to do the same thing with our depth as we continue to develop our team. Consistency and knowing how to win are two key elements to the success of New England.’

‘Check the latest NFL stats. Holcomb is currently the 8th rated qb in the entire league with a more than respectable 92.0 rating. It’s a tough call, but Holcomb is still the right choice for now.’

‘ know fans are loyal. But, if you had a friend who made promises they didn’t keep; would you stay their friend? If you had a restaurant that you kept returning to and they kept serving you bad over-priced food; would you continue to go? If you had a stock that showed promise of value but didn’t go anywhere; would you keep it or sell it? How many times do we have to get kicked in the gut by the Bills before we say enough is enough?’

The Bills got the ball back and once again, fearlessly marched down the field. Holcomb fired strikes to his receivers and running back Willis McGahee rammed it down the Patriots’ throats as he had all night. There was a crucial 3rd and 5 play, Holcomb completed a pass down the middle for a first down to Eric Moulds. However, what was an obviously biased officiating crew called a push-off on Moulds and the play was called back. It was clearly incidental contact but the refs weren’t going to allow the Patriots to lose in Tedy Bruschi’s return. Buffalo had to do the play over, expect it was 3rd and 16 this time.
