Great job by NE today, but whenever I hear Buffalo is going to feast on anything I go ahead and assume the opposite and it was right of me this week again. Great observations and contribution. I won’t lie I am baffled by that today! The Pats top 2 CB are out, and they cut 4 because he is well dumb. Logic stated the Bills O should have feasted on Bryant and Austin (5th string and Street pick up) Was it the Pats D or the Bills O? I think a mixture of the 2. Quote

You literally have one of the very best defensive minds in the history of the NFL. That unit is as well-coached as any in football. 2 Quote

So 1:31 inside the 20 you run it all the way down to :51 call time out and kick the FG. let’s say you miss the FG then Zappe has 45 seconds no timeouts and needs go 75 yards to win the game. Just isn’t plausible Have you watched the Bills much this season? 1 1 Quote
Maine-iac Posted December 31, 2023 Posted December 31, 2023 The game wrecking CB was Douglas the guy we traded for at the trade deadline. On offense Allen is off, as in not very accurate off. Throw in a few ill advised throws and then the fact that he loses his mind on occasion and looks to lateral the ball with guys hanging all over him. Then throwing deep to a covered TE (double covered actually) on 1st down all ill advised. Luckily our defense was making stops to go along with the turnovers because we've lost or fell behind in games just like this one too many times this year. McDermott seems to have finally the right mix of when to bring pressure and when to cover. Quote

Outside of that 3 TO inside their on 30 turned into 13 points by the Bills. 2. 2nd quarter a pick 6. I still don’t see who he was going to. Easy pic and return for the Bills. 3. I am shocked that the Bills were not able pass all over this secondary Bryant is a bad cover corner and Austin is a guy we picked off the street. (Although he has played well the last few weeks) 4. that opening 3rd quarter drive sealed the game. Great play calling and execution. 5. Bills ran better than I expected but if I am honest I couldn’t expect the D play much better than they did against Allen and company. 6. Bills ran Allen it felt a lot today. (more specifics things now) 7. what was Allen thinking when he fumbled the ball after scrambling for 5 yards.. it almost looked like he was trying to lateral it. 8. I don’t remember the Bills CB name but he single handily won the game in the first half for being responsible for 3 TO directly and 17 points from them. 9. As I mentioned in my breakdown, the Pats FG kicker is a killer! Missed a FG and missed another that was negated by a delay of game. Just a killer for momentum. 10. Sorry, running Allen with less than 2 minutes up by 6 with less than 2 minutes left (Pats with no timeout's) had disaster written all over it. Hopefully that doesn’t derail the Bills for the playoff run. All said I wasn’t shocked by the outcome. I was shocked as I mentioned at Allen throwing for less than 200 yards and Zappe throwing 3 picks.. 1. Yep 2. Hot read. The WR on that side should have changed his route but had a brain fart. (According to commentary and it made sense looking at it). 3. Pressure from your DTs made it difficult for Allen to set up his throws properly for much of the game. Add several drops and you have a bunch of drive killers right there. 4. 5. 6. Yep, Yep and Yep 7. Think you are right. Did it earlier and it worked. This time, not so much... 8. Rasul Douglas. Picked him up (and a 5th) for a 3rd from the Packers at the trade deadline. Absolute steal so far. 9. Yep. Only bad kicker the Bills have faced this year, seems like. 10. Going all in for the win. Best chance for a game ending first down. 1 Quote

You're right about that and I can't even argue with the numbers. But the implausible scenario you described is what we often call "Billsy" and we've seen it too many times. Seal the damn game. 1 Quote

GunnerBill Posted December 31, 2023 Posted December 31, 2023 Bryant barely played. Our draft pick Alex Austin did. Maybe that is the future for the Pats. Grab our 7th round picks off the PS. Quote

Yeah looked to me saw Shakir out of the corner of his eye and thought he could get the ball out. Could have turned out bad. Quote

They'll have to go QB if they stay there - and a team can waste 4-5 years missing on a QB. However, it's likely they beat the Jets, and pick more of a sure thing at another position. 1 Quote
