YoloinOhio Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 For Patriots, Bills loss means it’s over: the division, the path to playoffs, and the dynastyhttps://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/11/01/sports/patriots-this-loss-means-its-over-division-path-playoffs-dynasty/ sweet, sweet words We have flat-lined this dynasty many times before today. We have announced that it is over for Bill Belichick and the Patriots. And we have been premature. Wronger than wrong. This time it’s an easy call. There is no coming back from this one. A guy named Zimmer (DeForest Buckner was occupied at a game in Detroit) punched the ball out of Cam Newton’s hands in Orchard Park, N.Y., sealing a 24-21 Bills win and drawing the curtain on a 19-year run that included 17 playoff appearances, nine Super Bowls, and six Lombardi Trophies. The Patriots are not very good this year, but until now, they still had a chance. They still had a path to the playoffs. A win against the Bills Sunday would have enabled them to pull to within 1½ games of Buffalo with nine to play. A win against the Jets next Monday would have made New England 4-4 and positioned the Pats to win the AFC East for the 12th straight season. But all that is gone now. The Bills handed the Patriots a 2-5 record and four straight losses for the first time since Belichick arrived at the beginning of the first year of the 21st century. The Bills are clear front-runners to win the Warhol for the first time since 1995. It’s good times for the Bills Mafia at Bada Bing. 3 2 2
YoloinOhio Posted November 2, 2020 Author Posted November 2, 2020 Shaunnessy has ***** all over Buffalo for 20 years. Whether they had a good season or not, he threw dirt on them and the city. So this is just satisfying. If you told me a year ago we would be reading this on nov 1 2020, I wouldn’t have believed it. 8 1 2

This made me laugh........altho I still respect the Cheatriots to some degree......it does rather seem like the tide is turning. I was not 110% certain of that win....all hail Mr. Zimmer!! Go Bills 1

Mrbojanglezs Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 Brady was the dynasty just look at Belichick's record before Brady and there's your answer
Greg S Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 The only bad thing about the Pats losing is they might be in line to get Justin Fields. They won't get into the Lawrence sweepstakes but Fields is possible. Who do we want to win next weeks Pats-Jets game. On one hand NE winning gives them a 3rd win and maybe they miss out on one of the top QB's in the draft. But the Jets winning could hurt their chances to select Lawrence. The Jaguars are terrible and a serious threat to the Jets for the #1 pick if the Jets can win a game.

I have a feeling fields ends up in Atlanta. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the pats trade for Matt Ryan. Belichick doesn’t seem like the type who really wants to “start over” at QB. Plus ryan went to BC, seems like a match made in heaven for him possibly. Edited November 2, 2020 by YoloinOhio 1

I can't imagine him being particularly successful without the receivers that he has in Atlanta but had never thought about the Boston College connection.

I would think that bill would add at least 1 WR in FA and draft 1 high. They have a ton of cap space. I also could see him taking that freak TE from Florida, Kyle Pitts.(and maybe do more of a background check this time around) Edited November 2, 2020 by YoloinOhio 1

Without Belichick, Brady doesn't win five SBs. But yeah, I've always thought Brady was more of the reason they were as good as they were. Both were needed, but Brady was a bigger part of it.

I think if you look at his good Tampa has been this year and how bad the pats have been, it tells a lot of that story. Brady has completely elevated that team to a SB contender.
Nihilarian Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- It rained here all morning, snowed as night fell, and in between, the Patriots' 2020 season turned to mud and slid into nearby Lake Erie. https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/_/name/ne/new-england-patriots Buffalo, Seahawks, @Cardinals, Chargers, @49ers, Steelers, @Broncos, @Patriots, Dolphins.
