It's the kind of game-saving play that the Pats**** have been doing to us on a regular basis for years, yet they always were praised for their coaching and preparation. Exactly!! When the Pats do it, it is because Belichek is a genius blah, blah blah but when the Bills do it we got "bailed out". Was it Belichek's "genius" that McKelvin decided to return the kickoff of Losman decided to run out of the end zone? 2

I am also fearful both Josh Fields and Lawrence could be special, I dont want the Jets to get either one. 1
H2o Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 33 minutes ago, RoyBatty is alive said: Zimmer didnt "bail us out", in other words we got lucky. No, it was a heads up play by Zimmer, that is what well coached teams do and no the Pats were not guaranteed to score a TD there or score at all, time was running low. The Pats had a novel twist with Cam to start the year, started real hot. Cam got Covid and other teams have learned how to attack him, the novelty wore off quickly. The previous drive they had gone 72 yards in 7 plays to tie up the game. We came back with a FG to put us ahead 24-21. Up until the fumble the Pats had marched 65 yards in 12 plays while taking over 3-1/2 minutes off of the clock. There was under 40 seconds left in the game and the Pats were about to be set up with a 3rd and short, but the fumble happened. Heads up play by Zimmer and yes he did kind of bail us out by keeping the Pats from scoring in any capacity on that drive.

If you want to term it he "bail(ed) us out" when he makes and NFL level play that is up to you. This to me is a new era in Bills football with competent coaching and GM, i fully anticipate players going forward will continue to "bail us out". 2
Warcodered Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 I mean it is delusional but Buffalo getting a win against a team that beat NE does all but put them passing us in the AFCE out of reach.

I'm just enjoying one Bills game at a time. Yesterday, there was a veritable FEAST of enjoyment. And then for dessert, I got to go back and watch various media experts being WRONG.

It's one play that Zimmer made which bailed us out in a single game. Yes, this is a new era. Yes, we have the best GM and Coach combo we've had since the 90's. I don't understand why you're uber sensitive about my choice of words or are choosing to harp on them. They had just marched right down the field on a previous drive and were doing the same thing again. The fumble happened. We won. It's not like the game was in hand when that happened. Zimmer's play kept them from having any further chance to advance down the field or even attempt a FG, hence he bailed us out.

HT02 Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 I can certainly understand if the Patriot fans and supporters think they will always find a way to win the division, get to and win the Super Bowl... I'd probably have the same sense of entitlement and confidence if my team had the same success. As a Mets fan who listens to WFAN in NY during the summer Yankee fans NEVER lose confidence that things can and will be fixed.

How many times in games the Patriots looked ready to lose did someone bail them out over the last 20 years? Yeah, a lot of times it was the refs stepping up to help them out too hahahahaha But seriously, kinda how it rolls...plenty of times during the Bills SB years a player stepped up and made a play where the game was hanging in the balance... Honestly in fact, that might be the best definition of good teams versus bad teams...when the games are on the line good teams step up and make plays to win and bad teams have those plays made against them. The latter was the Bills for most of the past 20 years prior to McDermott and now its the former. Edited November 9, 2020 by matter2003 1

That team is super talented, has a great young QB, but they never get "bailed out" The line between good and bad in the NFL is so thin. It comes down to coaching, and preparation Except for the Jets. They just suck

New England has this two after the jets. If they go 2-0 they lose this tiebreaker. lets asdume after the by buffalo is 3 games ahead at 8-2 vs 5-5 or 7-3 vs 4-6. Basically NE needs to win out, have buffalo lose to Miami and lose another game. And Miami lose other games. If he win both non common games then they lose tiebreaker 3. buffalo can clinch the division in week 15 by being 3 up with 2 to play. In week15 if Miami beat New England, Miami beat Cincinnati, and NE beat Baltimore snd Houston then Buffalo clinches division 2 up with 2 games to play because they’d be tiedrecord, tied division record , but had better common games record. Those 2 would be 2-0 while buffalo has 1 loss.

He wrote the article on the old tower PC in his parents' basement where he keeps his shrine to the Mt Rushmore of Patsdom - Brady, Belichik, Gronk and Edelman. They are all gone now but his fandom for all things Pats tells him they can still win the AFC East. "Maybe Next Year" is his new meditation mantra. Jets win tonight.

Seriously, BB is just screwing with the league at this point. He plans to have the Pats lose 8 more games this season but "keep it close" in each one if possible. He's just angling for the next hot QB prospect because, as Bills' fans have seen, you rarely get a QB of high quality outside the top 10 in the draft (or usually the top 3). BB knows his career is coming to an end and he won't win another Super Bowl without a top flight QB. Free agent QBs have seen how he doesn't give QB's any help and will shy away from NE. It starts with losing to the Jets tonight. A guy who will engaging in repeated spying of teams' practices and other misdeeds is not above "tanking" for one of the top 2 QBs in the 2021 draft. I can hear the mumbling during the press availability, "They're a well coached team and we have to avoid the mistakes. We don't have the depth we've had in recent years...mumble...mumble...mumble..."
