Yeah, I forgot to include the hit that forced the fumble. THAT was a HIT!!!

Everyone! Shutout and sustained drives on offense against a top tier defense. !@#$ing Everyone!

First shut out at Foxboro ever. Finally a record book stat we can be proud of!

1 - I have to start with this. I do not want to hear about who started at QB for the Pats. We've walked some sorry excuses for a QB out there against the Pats and they never showed mercy against us. You are the sum of your team and we won this game without a ton of impact players. This was a win against a 3-0 team (all without Marsha) and the first shutout in Foxboro ever!!!! Drink it in boys, we deserve this. 2 - Defensive Penalties were almost non-existent. This might be the biggest takeaway from the game that wasn't really talked about during the game. Rex takes the blame for the penalties, so he gets the credit here. He's been pretty good these two weeks and still pulled out his old antics. 3 - McCoy looks good. Like, REALLY good. His burst, cuts, everything is what we traded for and couldn't be happier with his presence on the field. Even his pass protection has improved. Easily the offensive MVP of the first quarter of the season. 4 - Anthony Lynn has been exactly what this team has needed against two great defenses. He got Woods and Clay more involved, TT some roll outs (where he's more comfortable) and finally had some long drives. Defense had to approve of that! 5 - The news is out, all over town that you've been seen, out runnin' 'round. I know that I should leave her there, But then I just can't go, you win again. This heart of mine, could never see what everybody knows but me. Just trustin' you was my great sin, I just can't go, Lord You win again. What can I do, Lord, You win again. 6 - I was worried about the defense with that first play to Edelpunk, but they calmed that down very quick. The defense did a great job with holding their lanes, pressuring with 4-5 guys, and you could tell that Aaron Williams had them fired up. Hughes continues to overall impress and I can't wait to see what we look like with Pothead, I mean Dareus, back. 7 - Back to TT. How he played in the first half is why he got the contract. He was hitting all of his throws, both timing and spot throws. He was spreading the ball around. He was a QB first, runner second. First win of his career when throwing more than 30 passes. Second half was rough for him, but I really wonder what affect the wet field was having. There were some thrown balls and slips out there that make me believe both sides were having problems 8 - Credit Bennett and Blount. Those are some big boys in space and not the kind of guys I was to be in front of with a full head of steam. I'm curious to see what this offense is like with Marsha back and these guys supporting him. 9 - Carpenter - I'm getting there with him. Kickers miss. Gostkowski missed. But he's losing the benefit of the doubt with me and would love to see some better competition at that position next off season. 10 - We have 3 winnable games ahead of us. Traveling to the west coast is never easy, but this is another part of the test of being a Bills fan. How do we respond after two huge upset wins? Can we keep it going? 5-2 would easily change the tone of this season and we have the talent. My name is FireRex for a reason, but I always say that I love to be proven wrong. Hopefully I will be very wrong. Go Bills!

First off, does that girl like fat, older, ugly dudes? Because I might know a guy. Also, Aaron Williams better not blow up on the field last time, where he had to get benched. This only plays to the Patriots strengths

Name coaches who have a better winning percentage against BB? Harbaugh might be the only person who comes to mind.

Yeah, I know what he meant, but worded poorly.

I haven't made up my mind on Whaley. You can't put injuries on a GM, but there has to be a point where the question is: Is bad luck or are you putting yourself in that Situation. Points made that I agree with: 1 - He had to change his focus on players with Rex and essentially had to rebuild his own roster 2 - what is his responsibility for EJ and Rex? 3 - what did he know of these guys injuries before drafting them and mental issues off field? Results matter in their league. Whether it's fair or not, that the truth. 26Corner, John, anyone able to find out how many games have been started by players Whaley has drafted vs other players drafted by GM's over the same span? Also, pro bowl appearances by those players? To me, that would be a telling stat. Pro bowl appearances would offset some games started if you traded up for a guy worth it. Injuries happen to everyone, but you'd really see it there. Just curious

It's just what he's missed them for. Such a variety of injuries while he is so young. Again, happy to be wrong but it's not like he takes a lot of hits. His injuries come out of nowhere and I'm just not optimistic anymore.

What reason do you have to believe that we will ever really have Watkins back? Hopefully this is all a fluke, but he's missed games every season. At this point, it's not unreasonable to think that he's only another injury away from being too injury prone to give the money too? His foot. Was his hip. Then his shoulder. I'm happy to be wrong, but I'm just not optimistic anymore.

INteresting

Hindsight is 20/20. And Mack looks very clear 😀

This the dumbest !@#$ing post I've ever seen. There's no way he misses 10 passes

What's really sad is, real or not, it finds a way to work out that way. Only for the Bills I don't think it helps. They beat everyone, but they tend to REALLY beat those with a cocky attitude. And we have Rex....

I have a bad feeling about this game. While last week was great, Rex's demeanor this week and attention being brought about us never seems to end well. Bilicheat can pretend to ignore it all he wants to, but you know Edelman and him love to stick it to people. Now, I'm looking forward to see Brandon Spikes and our run defense handle business, but their defense has done a great job this year. I see a close one 21-17 Pats

Did I miss something here? What's going on with Romo and the Cowboys?

BB is such a smug !@#$ that he would try win this game without a QB. I know we won't, but I hope we dominate them, hurt Marsha's feelings, and then break his ass when he comes to town. If we finish 3-13 with that result, I'll still have something to smile about. Yes, my hatred is real.

This is a pleasant surprise and I'm happy to hear it. I know Rex was calling plays for a while. I never liked the HC focusing on too much on side of the ball. I also liked when I heard that Rex sat in on the offensive meetings. Let these guys do their job and be a head coach. Hopefully this is the beginning of things coming together

Probably

How was the wind. Both punters struggled and Carpenter missed the XP. Besides just crushing all three players, I'm curious to know if the wind was a factor. Also, some of the deep throws seemed a bit off for both QB's

Yes, it's a big task to ask him to beat the Pats at home when they are 3-0. But he's put himself in this spot by starting 1-2. As for Palmer, you clearly on a mission here because you ignore other posts I've made. I've given him props for yesterday. He did all the things I would love to see him do. If the team showed up like that every week, none of us would have issues with Rex. But unfortunately, that's not the case. He's 1-2 in getting his team prepared and ready to play. Also, feel free to read my signature for more of my opinion. What I don't understand is where your thread was last week, the week before, or at the end of last season where he tanked the 4th rated defense.

I really didn't think about that. Is he still in rehab? If so, I wouldn't think he would be game-shape ready by week 5

Wait, what gave it away?! I'm trying to be subtle

Rex is good for 8 wins a year since 2010 until proven otherwise. He will pull off some upsets, but this is only one game. If he was a good coach, we would be 2-1 or 3-0 based upon our schedule. I give him props for yesterday. But it's way too early to call him a good coach anymore.
