its amazing how we were still competitive against the pats all those black cloud years. we usually had a pretty good defense and some star players just no qb and no name coaching. i would think this would play out diff but u never know... im buckled in and ready

thought i'd head over to Patsfans forum because....well why not! obviously its what one would expect and at this point its like there isnt really even any ill will toward buffalo since there is just such a large gap between the two teams. however i did come across this post which is pretty intelligent in a logical sense. it will be interesting to see how it plays out with the roles being reversed but here is some food for thought. Yesterday at 1:40 PM An interesting gauge of this game and where Krafty Bob's team stands as a franchise is a look back at NE v Buffalo matchups when the shoe was on the other foot - the Pats were a great team with a gaudy record leading the division and battling for a top playoff spot whilst hosting the Bills when they sucked....I did not cherry pick these years (felt 2010 was a good starting point with Brady two years removed from his ACL)....anyway... 2010 Pats beat a pesky Buffalo (4-12) team 38-30 2011 Pats beat Bills (6-10) 49-21 but Buffalo jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the first Q 2012 Pats beat Bills (6-10) 37-31 2013 Pats beat Bills 34-20 but score is 16-10 in the 4th quarter 2014 - Pats rest starters, not applicable 2015 - Pats beat Bills (8-8) 20-13 2016 - Pats lose to Bills (7-9) 16-0 (Brissett started w Jimmy G hurt) I stopped at 2016 because in 2017 Buffalo was decent in McDermott's first year So what we have here are many examples of very weak often last place Bills teams going into Foxboro playing competitive games vs the Patriots, who in each of these seasons were a bye week team (one of the top two in the conference). So this week, we have a weak, last place Patriots team heading into a Buffalo club making a push for the #1 seed. Somehow Buffalo managed to remain competitive vs the Patriots when faced with the same situation for the better part of seven seasons. Buffalo coaches during that span? A murderer's row of coaching intelligentsia the likes of Chan Gailey, Doug Marrone, and Rex Ryan. Can Kraft's show and tell exhibit Jerod Mayo pull off what those three modern day Knute Rocknes pulled off - remain competitive with the top team in the AFC? Somehow I doubt it. Time will tell..

That nerf vortex is the only football Trubisky is allowed to throw

is this to emphasize how red hot Josh is? 🤨

from my perspective Lewis plays hard but he's only 5'9 and everytime i seen him sunday he was on the wrong end of a bad play. getting juked or falling down or both. He gets to the play well but after that its not very spectacular.

going off of draft numbers.. most of our secondary ran right at 4.6 rapp was the defensive version of coleman at 4.78 kair ran 4.39 and cole ran 4.45.

he should have... he ran a 4.39 which aint bad and a lot better than browns 4.59, of which brown seems a lot faster than

we hate the hail mary so much we wont even try one

twice on sunday he just has this...free air of confidence about him. not sure how else to explain it..like its all confidence and good nature with no bad attitude injected.

they played right into our game plan 😀

im really rooting for Bishop. i think if he can get his head around everything his athleticism will pay dividends. He was punching pretty good at the ball on one play i seen. Kiar would be nice... he does have some speed

Called a good game. didnt understand why on 1 yard to go he didnt call a sneak. a score there would have changed the rest of the game.

whats new?...

wont that be ironic

amazing as that his he should have easily had to more tds today

I'd say all the money on D goes ot the line that cant produce and the back end has to deal with the scraps left over.... Put a lot of that on Beane

he could help in the tackeling...he's a little bigger..taller, longer arms than the rest

look at the draft positions of the cbs and safetys. I'd like to see Elam start.

I feel 20 years older now. I imainge a casual fan rooting for buffalo would have thought it was a hey day good time. but being on the edge for every play makes you look at things a lot closer. Great game but frustrating watching points not being capitalized on when its right in front of you. the secondary... we need a player... a big time player big time. Hats off to to josh allen and the offense on the things they did accomplish..still no small feat. Good game by Oliver..to bad he has to get called out by the coach and national media to get inspired to play like he was payed to do.

scheme only takes you so far. need some talent as well

mind boggling

no one ran deep

they played great until they decided to get smart

i was like..are actually going to throw a hailmary for a change....i'm not sure buffalo has a hail mary in their playbook...

same as no qb sneak on 1st and goal. Brady having a siezure or something?
