Patriots at Bills postgame thread

[Adam]

I wonder if anyone asked McDaniel in his press conference if they used motion often enough today.

No because Baltimore won the division, so the best they can be is 5th

Oh crap… LOL. I forgot that little nugget!   Thanks!

Weird that it was also a left shoulder injury just shortly before Allen's.

 

That's a significantly different injury for the two of them considering how Tua throws the ball.

From NFL.com:

Jalen Reagor reached a top speed of 20.62 mph on his 98-yard kick-return TD, the fastest speed by a Patriots ball carrier this season. In pursuit of Reagor, Bills kicker Tyler Bass reached 20.58 mph, the fastest play by a kicker in the NGS era (since 2016).

 

So, who knew Tyler Bass was a speedster?

 

 

Felt like I saw the first uncalled hold on that play.

Not so happy with the play calls- working backwards / overly predictable.  Although the NE defense is good but definitely smart enough to know what is coming.

No doubt.

Just freaky timing with next week's game for all the marbles.

[Warcodered]

 

Why am I not surprised.

5 drops and 3 big misses on deep passes... I honestly didn't see an issue with the play calling for the most part. I think most level headed people can admit Josh and his receivers played poorly today.

And inspite of that we still won. It might mean the TEAM is better than some think.

My Phins buddy just told me Xavien Howard also left on a cart with a foot injury. 

Ouch! I don’t like seeing players hurt but this certainly helps

If the whole team shows up. A complete game in all 3 facets, this team is a 13 win team. 

[Augie]

The devilish part of me chuckles at the idea of us going for the late FG and having it blocked and returned for the winning TD. Would that make people forget 13 seconds?  Would it kill some of them off?

Yup.

Yep.  Look at the other games today: 

 

* The Eagles lost at home to Arizona.

 

*  The Rams, the "hottest" team in the NFL got lucky to edge the Giants 26 - 25.  Stafford had 1 TD pass and 2 INT's.

 

*  I'm watching the Chiefs crapping the bed against a Bengal's team without Burrow.

 

The win is all that matters.  Now the Bills need to play a great game next week to do something most of us thought they had no chance at doing - win the division.

 

 

 

It's more that we have Allen and are playing like this. 

 

The Eagles are one of the least hottest teams in the league right now. 

The Rams in their hot streak have beaten only one team going to the playoffs, Cleveland.  

And the Chiefs are massively overrated because they have zero quality WRs.  

 

An offense like ours, which played worse than those did or are, is what people are reasonably concerned about.  

 

We already know, based upon past postseasons, that we can't rely on our D to win the games, our offense needs to be peaking for us to have a shot at a championship.

Tune in towards the end:

I think there’s a part of this offense that gets overlooked by everyone.   The Bills are absolutely stellar at the 4-6min offense.  When we stopped them with nearly 6mins left in the game, I felt good.  Josh and the offense absolutely excels in draining the clock and getting a score… or in this case a kneel down to seal the game. 
 

How many times have we seen it?  Granted some times they leave a minute on the clock.. and then the defense screws it!  But not lately.  lol. 

[Inigo Montoya]

My thoughts (worth what you pay for them)

 

1.  An ugly win is better than an ugly loss

 

2.  Josh always rises to the occasion vs the Phins, might be a good launch game into the playoffs

 

3.  If the Bills run anything other than the tush-push on 3rd and 1, they should beat Joe Brady with a stick

 

4.  Von sitting today in favor of Epenesa was the right call.  He needs to sit next week too.

 

5.  Douglas is going to get a fat contract in the off season

 

6.  It's crazy the Bills are looking at clinching the #2 seed after where they were after the Broncos fiasco

 

7.  Will this season end up being the most unlikely of Bills' Super Bowls?

Left shoulder or not.. he needs to stop throwing off his back foot every throw. 

 

You're certainly not wrong.

But he did have guys all over his feet today.

He's 10x better when he can step into it.

There was a College Bowl game that was a Poptart one and the mascot came out of a giant toaster and at the end of the game it had a sign that said dreams come true and it was lowered back into the toaster. Then it dinged or something and a giant Poptart came out the bottom and the winning team ate it. I'm guessing it's all over the internet now.

Does anyone believe Isabella can not do as well or better than Hardy at this point?
