Patriots at Bills postgame thread

[Goin Breakdown]

McD saying Brady and the Offense made good adjustments. I just don't see that as true. 

[Bob Jones]

Why did the Bills call a TO at the end, after JA got a 1st down, and the other Allen came in? Not a big deal I guess, but it seemed very unnecessary, and dumb.

Huge win despite melon farmer mode.

 

Next week for all the divisional marbles

Just making sure everybody is on the same page with the QB change and there are going to be no unexpected disasters with snap counts, exchanges, personnel, formations, etc.

There was zero downside and nothing dumb about it.

Come in, McD has to get his timeouts in.

This is not my normal I hate McDermott rant...

But I am tired of him being satisfied with games we win when they're like today's game. This easy going satisfied feeling doesn't cut it for a ***** show game. 

 

To be fair, you play to the win the game - we won the game, I'm waaaaaay more satisfied that if we had lost 🤣  

[Turbo44]

Why is Sherfield playing even a single offensive play much less the dozens of plays he's in for.  IHe's been virtually useless - I wonder if Shorter is an option with Sherfield being cut?

O definitely better in the second half. Taking the ball out of Allen’s hands on 3rd and 1 is a joke. We have a WR problem just like last year though. We are basically in the same position with Diggs, Davis and Shakir. I think everyone would be happy if we had Beas and Brown over Harty and Shakir right now. 😂

And Tua went out late though not thought serious.

 

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

Sherfield and Harty are useless. There gotta be players on PS that show more upside

Harty’s only redeeming quality is returning punts. Why can’t he run the occasional jet sweep?

That’s a standard NE game from this year no matter who they’re playing to be fair…that defense can play and the offense blows a 1-2 score game nearly every week

That's a redeeming quality?

The thing we have to worry about now is the Chiefs already have nothing to play for. The Raiders loss today means they lost the division and the Chiefs have already clinched and just playing for seeding

Everything I’ve read says Chiefs haven’t clinched yet. Broncos can still catch them.

Who on the roster would you rather have doing it?

I would. For the most part, the second half offense was better than the first.

this reminds me of that "The Bills were lucky to win " thread from last week. I think it is logical to want to eliminate mistakes and improve on things moving forward. But to disparage a win meh It's just not my thing. Winning ugly Counts the same as pretty just sayin'

 

They made enough plays to win. Do I wish they had played mistake free? certainly.  Then I wouldnt need xanax

 

lol

True dat.

No one. Would prefer the Bills to get someone else in over the close season.

 

So, yeah, fair enough - guess it's a 'redeeming quality' until the end of the year.

Glad we win. Passing game looks like garbage & Brady, Allen & Diggs did not look good. Need to fix it fast.

So you thought the O line, particularly the interior O line looked good?  IMO they were awful and the primary cause of the poor offensive showing today.
