Great win, but... The but is that we are better than that. The Pats had no business being in it down to the final minutes. We had zero punts, zero turnovers. NE had 2 turnovers, 3 punts. NE was 1-10 on 3rd downs. The difference between this coming down to the end and being a blow out was two things. Both that need to be fixed for a long playoff run. 1) Red zone - got some td's at least but still struggling once getting to the NE 10 yd line multiple times 2) 4th Down D - NE converted 5 of 6 4th downs to keep drives alive. 

Agreed, not asking for perfection but if 2 EASY catches were made then we are talking about embarrassing the Pats at home.

I know the prevailing sentiment is "act like we've been there before" but I just have to bump this thread and keep it alive.  This was honestly the most satisfying win I can recall since the 90's Bills.  I live 20 minutes from Foxboro and most of my close friends, apart from my hometown Buffalo buddies, are Pats fans.   Last years December beatdown in Foxboro, while enjoyable, felt somewhat empty because of no fans, Cam Newton, Covid related excuses from Pats fans etc.

 

Once the afterglow of Sunday's game had dissipated and the family was asleep, I poured many glasses of bourbon, and rewatched the entire broadcast version on NFL gamepass.  At the same time, I queued up the Bills/Pats gameday thread on the Patsfans message board so that I could bask in long overdue misery of that fanbase.  Is that wrong of me to do?

 

Two days later, I can't help but binge on clips of Good Morning Football, Colin Cowherd, Skip Bayless, etc all gushing over the dominant performance put on by Josh Allen and the Bills.  Listen, I totally get that there are 2 must-win games left for the Bills and the last thing I want is them losing focus on the Falcons, but they are the team that has to prepare and we are the fans.  Is anyone else still just savoring what happened on Sunday?

Just seen a tweet that the Bills are the first team to win games in  back to back seasons at Foxboro since the 2005-2006 Colts

 

And Josh has more 300 yd 3TD no Int games in the last 2 years than any other QB at 6 games I think Mahomee has 5
