Sounds like a call I heard this afternoon into One Bills Live.

If Foster had not been ruled stoppped (forward progress) and a fumble was forced there would have been a riot here on TSW with complaining that his forward progress was stopped.

Express your opinion all you'd like and it's interesting. I just have nothing further to add to what I already expressed.

Ball washing Belichick and the Patriots.

Repeated: Anderson, IMO, makes no difference.

I'm not. The OL is sometimes okay in pass pro, but I think they are absolutely horrid in the run game. Anderson, IMO, makes no difference.

Anderson would be running behind the same lousy OL as the other RBs. At any rate, the run game problems will not be remedied until the offseason.

They have no previous connection to Anderson who never played for Carolina prior to this season.

They have $90M in cap room for 2019. This is not an issue.

While Allen topped 200 passing yards and threw a touchdown pass, a lot of his passing yards – and his touchdown – came late in the game during garbage time. Overall, Allen struggled against the Patriots, as he was inaccurate on a lot of his throws and also turned the ball over twice when he forced throws into tight coverage. The Bills’ pass-catchers did not really help Allen on this afternoon. While the unit was also marred by a couple injuries, they also dropped multiple passes and failed to make contested catches in close coverage. Bills edge defender Lorenzo Alexander had a solid outing, as he was all over the field against the Patriots. Alexander kept making plays against the run, as he also had success rushing the passer. In addition, he also picked off Brady in the second quarter. With the exception of Alexander, the Buffalo edge defenders struggled on the afternoon, especially against the run. The Bills defenders couldn’t consistently set the edge on run defense, which proved to be costly against New England’s outside zone runs, a scheme the Patriots used frequently in this game. Keys to the Game Buffalo Allen did not have a good enough day to beat the Patriots and was unable to provide a spark with his legs, either.

Coulda, woulda, shoulda.

That was not a good throw and Allen took a risk by checking to that play without delivering a good pass.

These are not his stats. Foster never touched the ball and I don't believe Thomas did either. Both were excellent throws by Allen.

I heard the Bills' defensive players talking about the Patriots took advantage of Ramon Humber's intimate knowledge of the schemes and any potential adjusments in the run game. You add in Matt Milano and Taron Johnson missing from the lineup with Corey Thompson making mistakes you have a bad result.

Another? Last year's week 17 game was anything but.
