I agree, but it is rare see Intentional Grounding ever called. I have seen it a few times myself this year with the Pats D rush making the QB throw it away. Almost like they been told dont call it we want more points..

Yup very painful in denver right now with the #2 seed and sitting at 8-2. By far the silliest example ever! Manning is awful but the team is still winning and damn good!!! A better example for the Pats will be that BB can't coach forever. He is the emperor of the empire. Brady is Vader.

It has to have a receiver near the ball I believe if it doesnt ge to the LOS.

ODB had one catch of 87 yards, that happened because of Butler being knocked off ODB by McCourty. Outside of that he had 4 catches for less than 20 yards. Your best player IS your RB. so of course you want to run the ball.

Look at the names of the QB's throwing the balls there to. Brady,Manning, Rogers.. I doubt Denver gets them with the new QB, but we will see.

lol I was making a point that I am not a newish pats fan, I know what losing feels like. I remember it well.

Without looking back, I thought Watkins was covered well underneath. But again since he wasnt thrown to we dont really know.

Question, isn't this like the 3rd or 4th MNF game where the Refs been just Awful?? (I rememberTHE ANNOUNCERS EVEN SAYING "YET ANOTHER BAD GAME FOR THE REFS ON mONDAY NIGHT") Well I try always stay classy win or lose. I mean I remember the 1-15 year that brought us Drew Bledsoe, or the miracle year in 1986 when Tony Eason got killed by the bears D. (I also remember thinking they could win after they got the TO early but then our star WR broke his leg on a pass ad we settled for a FG) So I know how losing goes, even tough embarrassing losses. Think a lot of people are not remembering it was windy out there even Brady had issues of underthrowing balls.

I would think it would be considered to take a QB sometime in the Draft as Taylor style of play is not going keep him healthy all 16 games IMO.

I disagree on the interception, it was OBVOUS holding if not PI that caused the INT begin with. So I thought it was an obvious call. But the refs stunk for both sides all game! just awful!

Can anyone tell me WHY Rex was in that refs face for anyways at that point???

I disagree, it changed the hole complection of the game. I would bet the Bills go for it in the 4th quarter instead of taking the FG. Who knows maybe it works and the game gets tied.. but being down 2 scores you take the 3 and hope to get a chance get the TD later. Butler is not Elite, t least not yet. Why would any competent coach leave a CB 1 on 1 to be beat deep like that?? Butler coverd Watkins very well and on almost every play. (IMO of course) I dare say he is just as good as Revis would be for us THIS year. 9key word there is THIS lol)

Then these refs missed at least one blatant one on Brady. lol Last night was the first time the 5 starters (Minus Solder) have played together this year and it was obvious. Hopefully that corrects itself like it did last year. and as for the WR I PRAY Amandola is ok (losing him on O be bad, but we lose that big play ability on PR as well.) , and we (hopefully) get Edelman back for the playoffs. (possibly even week 17.)

I dont recall the one you are referencing. (Not saying it didnt happen, just that I am still half asleep and I dont remember it lol) That said I was pleased with how well the Pats CB did last nigt, Coleman (our new UDFA nickle corner was out) and well we had chung playing that spot. (Harper ate him alive but again he is a safety so wasnt shocked at all by that.) I thought Ryan and Butler were amazingly good. I am shocked Taylor didnt just keep targeting whoever Chung was covering every single pass play.

I agree, but there were two WAY WAY late hits (One on each QB) that I was shocked no flag came out for. (they were not hard hits but Taylor got hurt on his late hit. ) I agree, and MOST CB going get beat by a great WR from time to time... but on the hole I thought Butler did well against Watkins.

Bills Fans HAD to smell blood in the water when Amandols went out and the Pats pretty much went conservative on O. (for good reason) I thought we were done when he pulled up hurt.

No One knows what would have happened if the ref didnt blow that dumb whistle! Darby could have made the tackle, Amandola could have broken or avoided the tackle and ran for a TD... I have NO IDEA why Rex was yelling or getting in the refs way for (I think that was what the penalty was called for) but the only reason they gave that penalty was because the screwed up so bad and the crowd (like any crowd) was screaming and booing..

1. God awful refereeing -- Between the missed late hits on Both QB's to the inadvertant whistle, to not stopping the clock on the last play. Way way to many mistakes and why did they have to huddle up for every dang call!! 2. Injuries -- Both teams got Key players dinged up, I hope none on either side are season ending. (Pats were down to LaFell and UDFA (just called up from PS) Harper at WR lol) 3. The Bills D brought it big time last night Brady was hit alot and you could tell the Oline was confused on who to block. Great game plan bythe Bills 4. I thought the Pats D also played a great game and Butler for the second week in a row pretty much neutralized a top tier WR. (That one catch by Watson was sick!) 5. Very good game and the Special teams fumble made a big big difference. Glad we are done with you guys till at least the playoffs, good luck from here on out.

It is typical NFL reffing. The call a ton of penalties early. (Usually whatever penalty some team whined about to get emphasized) then come playoff time unless you mug the person no flag is thrown.

LOL this is not news, and a decision would not come down for a few months AFTER the hearing. Also best case scenerio for The bozo commish is they rule in his favor and send it back to the original Judge. (Which prbl will not happen Goodell and the NFL didnt follow the procedure set out in the CBA which is what the Judge ruled on, not guilt or innocense.)

Either Philbin or Pagano. Both teams are UBER under achieving. I want Philbin to stay but my gutt says he is first to go.

lol the morons in the NFL front office who speak "anonymously" should be canned! the case isnt even having verbal arguments till JANUARY and thats if their case load ALLOWS for it lol. The rest was pretty well thought out lol

I agree, that O will not be able to keep up with any team witha high powered offense like a NE or GB

fair enough, will be interesting how well they fair against the Patriots.

I did not say #5 in the NFL, I said the AFC. After NE,Denver And Cinci there is no power house team. I will say Indy will win the South by default. so lets look whats left for the wildcard spot: Buffalo,Pitt, KC, Jets.... Pitt will struggle without big ben, their D is NOT good at all and will be exposed without Big Ben. Jets -- Great D, their O is gawd awful. KC --good D, and an amazing Run game, and good QB. Buffalo -- Great D, good Run and a promising looking QB.. Outisde of KC there is no team there that the Bills should not overtake for a playoff spot. I even think they should overtake KC they just bet a tough Ravens team, but I see your point. Although I expect them to win the division this year.
