Interior was exposed a few times. McGovern made an error or two as well. However, the Patriots have an above average DL. Barmore/Wise are great players. The Bills have struggled a bit with really good DTs. Quinnon Williams had some pressures against them, Barmore showed well, Cincy used their interior DL to make plays. The Patriots D was just REALLY good on Sunday. Going back the last 3 times we have played them, their D has been solid in each game. They are playing well enough in the secondary for their d line to get pressure

I find the offense more fluid under Brady. Dorsey sometimes confused me with why he would make a call and when. When you look at the teams, Brady hung 35 on the Jets, 34 on the Eagles, 20 on the chiefs, and 31 on the Cowboys. Dorsey missed scoring over 20 points in 3 of his last 5 games, and didn’t get over 30 over his last 6. if you take Dorsey’s last 6 vs Brady’s first 6, it’s a ppg difference of 7 points (21 vs 28). That’s a large change. It’s a sizable improvement

Mahomes has a turnover in 9 of his last 10 games:… but Allen is the turnover machine

Of course, but they have shown against top teams in the league they can win games and look good doing it (Miami, KC, Dallas). They are a great team in my eyes because they can beat any team any week. Good teams can’t do that.

This Bills team just beat the chiefs and cowboys in back to back weeks. That team didn’t leave, turnovers caused this to be a close one. Any team will say turnovers need to be limited to win games. But the Bills just won WITH a -3 turnover differential. That’s the sign of a good team with an off night. Their defense is stout, the offense can hit a home run at any point. Just need to protect the ball, and this team IS a nightmare against anyone in the league

Bills dominated all three phases. Made Dallas look undisciplined and weak on both sides of the line of scrimmage. really impressed with this team over the last few weeks. Good for them

Great overall win. At all phases

Brady is having a dick measuring contest with Dan Quinn, and he is dominating. Pretty much telling Quinn if you don’t switch up your defense we will use continue to win the line of scrimmage in the run game. its beautiful

You can run the ball right at Parsons and he will allow yards. He doesn't gap contain incredibly well. When you drop back, roll Allen away from Parsons and let the quick passing game be a consistent part of the offense.

Douglas gives us size to match up against great TEs as well. I like how they used him against Kelce early in the game to stunt early production.

Dunne's article clearly had quotes talking about Sean being a "me" guy and a narcissist... There were absolutely questions about him as a person.

I expect Mahomes to apologize publicly today to try to mitigate impacts. What a dumb move from him to just lose it. If I'm the Patriots, I'm taking every extra shot/hit/smack on Mahomes as I can next week to try to force the ref's hand a bit. This is Mahomes worst year in his career, looks completely frustrated

Diggs plays so hard every time he has the ball or is targeted, I do get concerned for his health towards the end of each season - I hope today was just a case of a great gameplan and a little lack of concentration

I dont want us to gloss over the absolutely incredible play allen made to Murray on the catch and fumble. Just insane to withstand the pressure, and hold the ball until the VERY last chance he could throw it. That was an incredible play

This is what I dont understand. Toney being off isn't lucky - its lack of execution by him. That's poor execution. Luck is a ball being tipped 3 times into a players hands. It's Waddle's catch against us earlier this year. Ref's calling a penalty a penalty isn't luck - its execution. The refs are like the teams, they need to execute when it matters. If you want to say it's lucky for us not get a call on Von on the play after, I can understand that. It's a 50/50 situation where the refs didn't pull the flag. Toney being offiside is an absolute flag, and was called accordingly. In my personal opinion, people are calling us lucky to move away from the realities that this team executed at the end and played a pretty good game all around. Mcd called a good game, and the team executed throughout. It wasn't perfect, but it never is. We did enough to win, that's a reality. The team is absolutely resilient today, winning a game in Arrowhead after having the week of news that they did, dealing with injuries to core positions, and fighting for their playoff lives. That's as resilient as they come.

How are the refs calling an infraction correctly “lucky” man’s resilient is about the entirety of the game, not one play. Also, the defense DID get the stop, because there were three plays after that the Bills shut down. are the bills lucky that Floyd got a hand on Mahomes arm? Or was it proper coaching, playcalling, and execution?

I need help understanding what we define as lucky. I saw a team be resilient, and kept mahomes on his toes. And, I think they did enough to win against a great team. Things to focus on, but it wasn’t pure luck

Yep, I heard he is retiring tomorrow via his brothers Twitter account

I understand being critical, but to say “lucky at the end of the game”. It’s never luck for the other team when they beat us, it’s always our coach costing us something. it wasn’t perfect, but defense and head coach were not problems today.

We beat the chiefs in arrowhead, in a one score game, and make a stop on defense in the final two minutes… and people are spewing the same crap about Mcd. team pulled together after a very tough bye week and won the game.

I’d happily donate a $5 to Toney related charity in honor of the 5 yards he gave us

I think Klein was the vet insurance option if everything else failed. he isn’t needed, and he collected a paycheck to be available if needed

I understand why he approached the article in the way he did. I’m not preaching about Sean, and he has valid criticism. But Dunne uses terms and descriptors to point the reader towards a negative association of Sean. He does a good job being thorough, and he isn’t a hack. But it’s not boring to a point, it’s sensationalized in its descriptors in an effort to carry the reader through an article. its JJ Reddick without the player perspective. i guess I just don’t have a lot of care for this type of journalism. I don’t care if Sean is an ass, as long as the results show. And really, nobody cares about Chad Hall or former players opinions or the 9/11 comments if the team is winning. So when we have 70 pages of people talking about it, I guess I just don’t care for it. It doesn’t really matter. So the timing, coming off of a bye, leading to the most important game of the season, I find annoying because it takes the team away from the focus they need… winning the game. im probably old man on this, but I now know this will become a discussion point of the Bills, and if they lose anyone can point to this as a reason, and now we open the door to this being a major part of this teams brand moving forward

I thought it was clear Sean was not a fan of how Daboll criticized players openly, which Daboll has had an issue with in New York as well.

I don’t think Dunne has an ax to grind, I think he has bills to pay. He knows these types of “hit piece” articles draw interest and pull in subscribers. No one reads an article about how many former players like Sean. Even if he acknowledges there may be some, he can find a few that don’t and make that the large part of the thesis of his writing. its not personal against Sean, it’s using him as a way to pay bills and build his career. which is why I agree with Micah, it’s a low blow. But I see why he did it.
