Milton looked unreal. 

A lot of guys look that way in games like this.  This was basically a preseason game.

Sean McDermott is the most over rated coach in the NFL.

Pathetic performance by a #2 seed team.

Early exit ahead. Who cares about Pat's losing top pick. We still can't defend the pass or get people off the field on 3rd down.

This is absolutely fantastic. Our guys got paid today.. Allen kept his streak… and the Patriots just lost the 1st overall pick!  Their fan base has to be going ballistic!

Oh, are they ever...

The pats fans are apoplectic. Crying hard for the NFL to investigate the Bills for intentionally throwing the game and want them to take the Bills 1st round pick. They really believe the Bills lost that game to cost them the #1 OA and not because they were preparing for the playoffs.

 

The stupid thing they don't seem to accept is the Pats tried to win. They didn't have to. Look at what the Browns did to tank.

The Pats should give him 5/$200M right now.

[Norcalbillsfan]

I love how a loss some how feels like continued conference domination. 

 

I love the tweets from Pats fans "we already have a qb, we didn't need the #1"

 

The value they just lost could be equal to several 1st round picks. Solid chance you get a 2026 1st rounder and more from raiders, saints, giants for the pick of qbs. Biggest loss for the Pats since the eagles SB 😆

Nothing matters unless Bills win the Lombardi. Bass is scarry. Good thing Josh can keep the window open.

He did today

He’s gotta realize that w/o sep speed he needs to come back to ball and at least draw the PI.

I gotta say....our backup QB's are dreadful.

The difference between the teams is only one HC has a brain and he decided it would be better to lose this game. The Buffalo Bills just screwed the Patriots out of a huge draft pick haul in 2025. I enjoyed the meaningless win for NE while watching them lose out on the #1 overall. 😁

He realizes it plenty, and has done it numerous times. Today was about staying healthy. He shouldnt have even been in the game that long as it was.

All while un-ironically whining that Mayo didn't throw the game himself. Should I feel ashamed for my schadenfreude?

[YoloinOhio]

Well… 
 

[D. L. Hot-Flamethrower]

Does anything about Mayo indicate to you that he's a Super Bowl winning coach some day?

[PonyBoy]

Mike Evans gets 1K yards to tie Rice for 11 straight years for $3M I think.

Tampa Bay up by 8, just needed to kneel down to make playoffs. 

Would have been an all time gaff if it was a pick 6. Crazy call! 

[BigAl2526]

Maybe it's just me, but does it look like Buffalo is playing a "prevent defense" for entire games?

[Aussie Joe]

Pats fans are apoplectic on their forum 😂

 

One said that the Bills should have their No 1 pick taken away by the NFL ..guess it’s ok only for them to sit players …

Butterfly Effect game, fascinating to see how the consequences for NE materialize.

 

In terms of the Bills, Coleman has a lot of work to do this offseason as do his draft mates Bishop and Carter.

 

I’m concerned about the performance of Coleman, Hamlin, Rapp, and Bishop.

[thewookie1]

My guess is they told Coleman not to jump or do anything that could aggravate his wrist.
 

He didn’t really jump from what I saw and he looked disinterested from hand fighting back to the ball both of which is very unusual for him.

"Today is proof NFL teams rig games.. its worse than deflating balls, worse than spying.. worse than taping up players on other teams. NFL should take Buffalo #1 pick."

Fair point.
