The OFFICIAL Patriots vs Bills PostGame Thread

[JPsPats]

I don't think the secondary played horrendous coverage wise compared to how bad the tackling was from the WHOLE defence. Spiller made so many people miss, took screens that should have been losses to 20 yard gainers, he's special.

I think buffalo had a clever game plan and exposed our lbs in coverage today more then the dbs. They ran screens and used spiller in the passing game who obviously beats and lb 1 on 1. They also used Chandler a lot, again exposing or lb coverage.

Good game for the 0, 37 points and definitely could have had more if it weren't for drops. Ridley was solid and consistent as usual.

The patriots have drafted good talent in all positions, but they can't play good together.

Coaching and scheme. Everyone and their moms can see this but BB and Matt Patricia.

Not like the D don't have a decent TE to practice against!


As for the win, painful to watch, very painful! But a win is a win!

3B. Stephen Gostkowski (3 big field goals, bunch of touchbacks)

Three Down:
1. Alfonzo Dennard (beaten constantly)
2. Linebacking Corp. (Poor, Poor, tackling)
3. Wes Welker (2 big drops, one on opening drive that would have been touchdown, and in our own end zone)

Dennard had a few good plays in the endzone I think he was covering Johnson.

Another observation: Gregory really sucks. Hopefully Chung will come back soon and he'll play a little better than Gregory did today. Him and Arrington got ran over, Dennard got beat a bit today as well. I think Dennard will be okay once Talib's in. Just keep Arrington and Gregory off the field, and we'll be okay.

There is no pressure up the middle (Wilfork and Love have been awful) so to keep rushing the same four with no blitz, big linebackers who are dreadful in coverage and what is a poor secondary bar McCourty is just really poor coaching

You do realize that Jones and Wilfork were facing double teams, right?

can someone explain the last pats offensive play where he underthrew woodhead by like 5 yards, it looked like he had room to gain a few yards by running. sometimes i think brady is too cautious when scrambling.

That's why they've lost three late close games and almost lost another today

[skspikex2]

One thing for certain, BB was also disgust at the D.

I think woodhead step out of bound, so regardless of catch or not, it won't count.
