...21-0 took the loudest Bills crowd ever out of the game.

24-24 and 31-24 were deafening. You could not hear yourself speak.

Patriots have big problems here: Barrett, S. Brown, Spikes, A. Carter.

It doesn't show on TV as well as you see it in the stadium, but any fan watching plays develop and watching the opposing QB can point to the direction he's going to throw it long before Barrett or Brown will even begin breaking. They just don't see what's going on out there.

Spikes can't cover, can't tackle, wussed out of a big hit.

Carter can't rush the passer, can't stop the run.

Big problems on defense and you could see them even when the Patriots were up 21-0.

Brady actually had more open receivers than you might guess. He locked on Welker because Welker was playing so well, and to a degree Gronk, but he had other guys open, like Edelman. The only guy not going open was Branch and that's because the Bills elected to double him.

How I wish they had let Fred Jackson score!!

I was also dismayed by the fact that the Patriots did not go to no huddle on the last drive.

Fitzpatrick actually doesn't impress me. He's a gambler. He had guys wide open underneath that he just ignores.

Yeah I saw one play where Spikes looked like someone the Pats found at the airport and asked him if he wanted to give playing linebacker a try.

The thing that pissed me off about Spikes today was when Fitzpatrick was taking a knee and he just kinda fell to the ground and it became a pile, Spikes runs out and starts signaling like he knew we had it.........I felt an emotion I had never felt before and then......

And Cunningham is out there irregularly. I mean, if he can't outplay Carter at this point, that's bad.

Keep drafting in quantity philosophy is being shredded to pieces

It was ONE loss. If the Pats are still playing like this then we will have a problem. Where did the defense go? Did Rex Ryan eat them and put clones in? There needs to be a major turn around if we think we will even make it to the playoffs!

Anyone see Spikes doing a dance after that play for a loss? He was the 4th person to tackle the guy, but the only one celebrating it. Please make at least one play before you start celebrating. Thanks

Even though it's tough to see the safeties play on TV they did look out of position a few times. Kind of sad that we have to play with these guy the rest of the year. Team will be going over the top ALL day.

Carter could stop the run imo

Fitz didn't play very well, but the Bills have a nice balanced attack. The pressure is not on him like it is Brady.

Two things,one, according to the documentary, Belichick encourages players to get up and show emotion. I do agree though that Spikes is one of the last people that should opening his mouth. And two, Brady could also have that balanced attack if O'Brien would actually stay with the damn run.

Nice observations. We have our issues for sure.

Can't imagine how it would've been to actually be there, it was bad enough in the comfort of my living room.

As discussed.......... I was there too. Little different angle, but I agree with a lot of what you are saying. Defense has issues, most of them start up front.

A lot of poor officiating today........ both sides of the ball. NE's penalties just came as worse times for them. I was very impressed with Riddley today. He's gonna be a good back for us. Solder was a beast. First time I saw him live. The dude is just big. He's a player.

TFB had a bad day today...... He had plenty of time, but just never looked comfortable throwing it. Even the hurry-up just clunky and struggled. Outside the first quarter anyway.
