After what we've seen from our defense, I am shocked so many are writing off the Titans game. Barkley can manage. I expect another close, hard fought game... and a Bills win!

He always looks like that when a defense is dominating him. Unfortunately that only happens once every year or so.
Going to be at least twice this year!

gotta earn it....
Not EVERY time... "Just give it to them." Sorry, I'm still bitter and it seemed like a good excuse to bring it up.
With that said and questioning Brady's desire, he sure was all smiles before the game. Our defense made him feel old and question himself. Nice!

Eventually we've got to stop blaming the refs.
I weary of refs and their inconsistencies in rule enforcement... but you're right.
Just like good pitchers get their strike zone, good teams get those questionable calls... winning is the answer. We haven't been good enough in the past to get around the calls that don't go our way, magnifying them. With all the mistakes yesterday, picked up flags, questionable calls/non-calls, the Bills could have beaten the Patriots on the last drive. I feel we are closer than we've been in a loooong time.
I read/heard somewhere that Belichick brings refs in before the start of every season and has them review rule changes and how they intend to call fouls. Sounds quite reasonable and anyone could do this (I assume)... sure looks like it helps those guys out. We typically get as many holding calls in a couple of weeks as they do in a whole season.

Not sure if I have seen it discussed...and may have been lost in the sea of Josh Allen posts...but I was incredibly impressed with Edmunds. Last year, Brady abused him...and he didn't have a great week last week...but in this game he consistently was in the right place and quickly.
That defense and everyone on it played lights out. I couldn't be more proud of those guys.

So glad the Pats fans are here to educate us and tell us how we should admire Jones for playing that way. A lot of what I've heard has come off as defense lawyers protecting their client.
Looking at the hit again from some other angles, I can see why they didn't eject but don't hand me any crap about Jones not trying to hurt Allen. I won't buy it and I base my judgement on what I saw and how the defender reacted... just my opinion.
As for Pats fans and what they think - stop the presses! - these are the same folks that defended Gronkowski going WWE on Tre. Probably thought Wilfork was blocked into JPs knee, too, and that Rodney Harrison never hit anyone late. I can only assume that those that stop in here to "enlighten" us do it for the attention... probably get no replies to their insights in Patriot land.

petition the Rules Committee to change this at the next meetingIt will have to wait until Brady, Mahomes, Brees, or Rogers gets knocked out of a playoff game on a play with offsetting penalties. THEN we'll get a rule change.

Frustrating loss but hanging with you guys made it easier to take. Hope everyone has a pleasant evening and enjoys a good meal. Looking forward to next week!

The same no talent Scott Zolak that played for the Patriots?

The offsetting penalty call was the BS there.
That was an obvious flagrant violation.
So the next time you see a flag drop on the offense, take a free shot at an offensive player! The worst outcome is a do-over.

I think thats who he is. Thats his game.
I think that's what he knows and trusts most at this point in his career.

If Allen would have slid instead of trying to pick up that yard he would have been available for thebend of the game.
He wanted that first down so bad that he made a bad decision there. I appreciate the heart but I don't want to see him pulling that Elway stuff on a regular basis. I do think he will learn from it.

Not really. I think the Pats sites are pretty bad.
See? Even Pats fans can't stand Pats fans.

You jackass.
Would you have the same reaction if that was Brady?
We all know Pats fans are cool with the hit. No surprise there.
I am surprised that Pats fans are so bored with winning that they have to hang out on other teams' sites to get good football conversation.

It's not a joke.
Josh Allen is currently the 32nd ranked QB in the NFL in QB Rating.
But his team is 3-1 and he's played a part in getting those wins. Just imagine what happens as he improves!
When Daboll came over to him on the sideline after one of the picks, Josh looked too angry to even listen to him. I do believe that he can win plenty of games with this defense, he just needs to grow up a bit more.

I do think he'll get better but he has to listen to the coaches and stop trying to win games like he's back at Wyoming. We saw that drive in the 3rd quarter where he got the ball out quickly, took what was there... they looked like a machine.
He can do it, but I'm sure that competitive urge to be a hero has been too strong for him to overcome when under fire. The run for the sticks in the fourth quarter that got him knocked out was gutsy but too risky in the situation... and the bastards got him.
We knew he was going to be a work in progress. He needs to stop trying to be Mahomes and just take what's there. Those heroic moments will find him and be better to him when he does.

As bad as the loss felt, thinking about how uncomfortable we made it for OLD Tommy boy,
Still puts a smile on my face...
I've never been described as an optimist... but this is as good as I've felt about losing a game in a long time, especially to New England.
The Pats can strut if they want but they know they dodged a bullet today. Mc-Frazier's defense is consistently giving their offense trouble. If we can get our offense to execute the game plan without so many mistakes... the future looks bright to me and we have a real reason to be think this is going to be a great season.

Just seems like he takes a painfully long time to get his punts off. And New England identified this and got a block and forced another bad punt with pressure.
Maybe that's why the Pats thought he was expendable.

Our offense was an abomination last year. It has improved to average this year. NE's defense is going to make average offenses look terrible.
People are wildly overreacting to one game against the best defense in the league.
You're right... but I'm no longer willing to concede that anyone else in the NFL has a better defense than our Bills.

Next game is in Foxboro...usually a different story in that house of horrors....
I know, I know... the history is not good. I've just got a hunch that we're due. The gap hasn't been this close in a while and that's with their Hall of Fame, "greatest ever" QB.

4th - time to find a new punter.
After having our best player be the punter for so long, it hurts to see it as one of our glaring weaknesses.
In previous years, that 21 yard punt late in the game would have turned in to seven for the bad guys. As it was, I thought it was three for sure but another 3 and out spared us. The defense was insane and should give us all a reason to Billieve. They just shut Brady DOWN.
-
For the first time in a while, I do think we've got enough talent to hang with them and beat them on any given day. The defense has gotten better and better against them and the offense just needs to execute.
I don't think the Patriots or their obnoxious fans are going to want to see Buffalo on their schedule anymore.

Yep. That is intention to hurt. Classic example.
He looked quite proud of himself afterwards... he did what he set out to do.

But how about that interception that the DB clearly bobbled, as he's being grabbed by say Jones who's out of bounds. That play lead to 3pts for the cheating team and should not have stood.
Especially bad considering they DID review the play.

That's what I thought when watching it. The Pats decoy even made like he was going to initiate contact before pulling back... THEN he stuck the leg out. If Levi had run into him, somehow it would have been the Bills fault and Gordon's catch and run would have counted anyway.
I would think that sticking your leg out like that would be unsportsmanlike, even if you whiffed.
