I'm really looking forward to watching this game because I'm excited to see our depth. We may not have a lot of "star" players, but we do have depth. And, I don't really care so much if we win this one. I really just want us to win our last game of the season.

I meant to type RG for Feliciano. We've had Ford in at RG? What game was that?

True. But, it's also been pretty nice having some depth out there.

I know that conventional wisdom (or at least TBD) says that Ford is better suited at guard. But, we haven't actually seen him play the position, have we? Feliciano has been the best RG we've had in longer than I can remember. He's definitely been able to step up at center (although, he did have a couple errant snaps after he took over for Morse last week), but I think Morse has been great this season. Ford has been getting better at RT as the season has progressed. Nsekhe is clearly the better RT, but he's getting pretty long in the tooth. I think it's a good idea to keep developing Ford at RT while he's under rookie contract. Nsekhe will be long gone before Ford's contract is up, and hopefully by then Ford will have earned a new contract. How nice would it be to have some talented continuity on the O-line?

I would have been shocked if McD had announced anything less, especially in regards to Allen. I doubt we'll see Allen run at all, and I wouldn't be surprised to see plenty of holding calls, as the O-line works to keep him safe. But, Allen's been developing week to week, and they're not done with him. It's one more game, just like @Texans will be one more game.

They should have put him in concussion protocol if he’s going to play that crap.

I’ve met Kurt Warner, and yeah... he’s kinda stupid.

Edelman and the Patriot way

Blowing the play dead before Allen was down, and before he could throw the ball away is the one that galled me.

I hope McD, et al, are speaking in hushed tones with music playing in the background in the locker room right now!

Milano trying to punch that ball out.

Difficult game to watch

Cannon’s getting them a free time out.

Edelman is not going to last the game.

Mash them for a safety.

Dang. Josh does not look good. Bojo’s getting it done, though.

Not a great throw, but Knox has to catch that.

We need to start sending more bodies at Brady* early in their drives, even if it means giving up some chunk plays.

Power/Hyde, the best Safety duo in the league.

Sitting at a place called “the Crow’s Nest” in Tajunga, CA. Not another Bills fan in sight. Bunch of Pats* fans around, though. So much more fun to be a Bills fan.

FIFY

This is where I'm at. If we ruin the Pats* day today, it feels like a playoff victory to me.

Not sure that is going to be the case this time around. Brady* is great at getting the ball out fast, but this is not the same team we played earlier in the season, and Brady* is not the player he was. His accuracy has suffered, and his receivers are faltering. Rush Brady* in the pocket, and we might gets some picks today. I hope.

Question: Will this game be shown on NFL Sunday ticket, if it's on NFL Network?

The thought of the Pats* losing to Miami, at home, with the division title on the line is almost inconceivable. But, I will say this: watch a recent Dolphins game. Even their recent loss to the Giants. They're terrible, yes. But, there's a spark there that really looks like it comes from Fitz. The guy looks like he is playing the best football of his career, just with an absolutely miserable cast of players around him. But, they make plays here and there, and the play calling is pretty solid. You have to respect them, in a way. The Miami FO took to the season with such an obvious tank that the NFL Competition Committee felt the need to get involved. But, the coach, and scrubby players that were left after the FO literally put the entire roster up for sale were not on board. There's effort on the field. The Phins want to win. But, at the end of the day, their point differential is the worst in the league... by a lot. The only way they could beat the Pats* is if there is a serious disruption in the Pats* defense, like losing Gilmore, and Hightower, and maybe even a third starter to injury, and Brady* having a really, really crappy day. And, even then the Phins would be a long shot.
