Game didn't reveal that much about the Pats, imo.

Bills dominated until they benched Johnson, then folded.

LOL.......talk about obsessing on other people

Did Johnson play defense?

Default Our defense is frickin' awesome!

when down by three scores.

We should petition the league to allow us to start our playoffs games down 17-0. We'll roll!

I would never call another fellow fan "a loser". I try to respect fellow fans and when my posts don't come across that way I will apologize, as I did in this case. We have different opinions and views on this forum, which I think is a good thing.

As I said in the gameday thread, if the Bills were playing for something, the Pats would have probably given up only 7 points today. The only reason the Bills got 21 was because they faked a punt on their side of the field (which a head coach would rarely if ever do that early in a game if they needed to win the game) and went for it on fourth and four (coaches also almost never go for it on fourth and four in the first quarter). If the Bills treated this like a real game, they would have punted on both those drives rather than converting fourth downs.

True. I need to go back and look at the fake punt. It seemed like we weren't prepared for that one.

That was definitely a poor call, but the one that really baffled me went the other way, after the Buffalo INT. How could Florence be called for anything like roughing the passer once the passer was playing defense? The ref specified that it was a hit on the quarterback, but isn't that designation moot at that point? Looked like a perfectly normal downfield block.

By definition, the quarterback is a defenseless player on the runback after an interception.

I don't think the Pats were prepared. I was yelling at my screen to watch for the fake, but they left the middle of the line pretty wide open.
