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

Even if they were playing for nothing which is not really true the chiefs have been struggling for awhile and would likely want to enter the playoffs on a high note

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.

 

 

Seemed like they cleaned it up in the second half a bit…if we had connected on that deep shot that’s a completely different game.  We didn’t hit our big play and NE hit a ridiculous throw and catch 

[HalftimeAdjustment]

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?

Another tip of the cap to the head coach and his defense.

For your Dolphins?

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

Based on the first half, technically yes, but really that wasn't a high bar at all. At least not enough for me to say there was anything significant that they did different. But that's just me.

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

They took the ball out of Josh’s hands. We missed a number of open pass catchers today. 
 

Unpopular opinion, but better QB play today and this is a blow out. Full stop.

Josh was fine post interception against the Chargers (sack perhaps aside) and generally improved in the second half today. Not sure what's up with him in the first half though. 

The O line didn't help particularly pressure up the middle which is bad for any QB. The drops didn't help either.  The drop by Murry at the end of the half that would have given the Bills a first down was brutal.

Allen was by far the biggest issue today. O line didn't have a great game but Allen looked lost and wildly inaccurate. 

[Bangarang]

Josh’s passing TD streak was ended today. He was really bad. Better today when the defense stepped up than next week.

100% agree.  The Patriots front four were continuously abusing our OL

I hope Sean can hold folks accountable for today's unacceptable drops.

Nope, didn't say that. They need work too. But this was 1 bad game from them the other's I mentioned have been not good for multiple games. Allen missed passes today even when he had time (like Diggs deep, Lamar made that throw 2 or 3 times today) & he & Diggs have been off for weeks, not just 1 game. & Brady going away from what works like the tush push, McD stopped him from costing us the game, or his taking the top 3 WR off the field & sending TEs deep for that pick. Those things aren't on the O-line. This is a deep problem with the passing game that has been festering much of the season.

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

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 

I guess I want just a little fire in his breath. Call out the mistakes, mention we need to do more with venom. Don't say everything with a sigh and a regress of acceptance. 

[wjag]

Diggs going out of bounds to stop clock north of 2m was inexcusable for a veteran.  

[Success]

Not sure if anyone has noticed - but wins are hard to come by this year.  We've won 4 in a row, and just beat a tough division rival.  They have a bad record, but the vast majority of their losses are 1 score or under.

 

When JA had to play well today - he did.

 

I'm celebrating, personally.

I'd guess what you'll be seeing in practice will bear little resemblance to what you see in public in front of reporters.

Tired of Josh Allen making ridiculously stupid decisions. Consistently throwing off his back foot..exposing the ball repeatedly. It’s amazing he didn’t turn it over more today. Brady has shown a Bills running game but our #1 WR is not involved unless Josh forces the ball. This O is not peaking and our 2 best players are not remotely maximizing. This comes from a huge JA fan. The D has made great progress but the O is a mess. Somehow we can actually gain the 2nd seed. It’s remarkable.

As always .., they go as Josh Allen goes ..,

Only time this wasn’t the case was the Dallas game …

Gets tougher from here

when does the NFL announce Flex scheduling?  I imagine MIA/BUF will be flexed to Saturday or Sunday night.

Also, late in the first half he not only turned in when he could have gone out of bounds to stop the clock, he also stepped backwards and didn’t take the first down he could have easily made. Diggs was trying to turn it into a bigger play, but we ended up having to punt.  I think Diggs has been underperforming for the last several games.

That's a redeeming quality?

As Wade Phillips once famously said, “he is a punt catcher, not a punt returner.”
