Is it time to think that Andrews has taken Storks job? The kid has been amazing.

No. But I can see Stork's health being handled more carefully because Andrews is available.

Besides, Andrews is generally regarded as being under ideal strength, and he's a rookie. So he's a prime candidate to eventually hit the rookie wall.

I am loving this kid more and more by the second.

That pick by Butler showed unbelievable skill. That was a catch that some top WRs probably don't make. Belichick was right, he is a good one.

Dion Lewis is the new Randy Moss?!



Dion Lewis' 258 yards from scrimmage across the first two weeks of the season are the 5th most in #Patriots history. Most since 07 Moss.

And Rex claims he STILL doesn't know his name. LOL

BUT....what great experience he is garnering early on and what DEPTH this adds to the O line. This could have easily gone in the other direction. Credit has to go to Gugs.

The 4th and 1 calls were atrocious and the reason this was close. Zero excuse for those two calls... especially when Brady is damn near unstoppable on QB sneaks.

Hmmm. I wonder what will happen when Bills come to Foxboro.

Brady passes for 500 yards, is my guess.

Bill knows better than to fall for Rex's reverse psychology.

How did Aaron Dobson look? See he had a nice game today

Dion should go up to Rex Ryan pregame, shake his hand, and introduce himself.

kudos to everyone and everything except:
Fletcher - complete liability and he single-hadedly kept this game from being a 25-30 point win
Play calling - no reason for a strip sack when up 3 scores


without these 2, this games is a complete embarrassment to the Bills

side note - the interior OL has been amazing so far......they manhandled Dareus and the Williams boys

God, we're up 21-7, and playing sooo professionally it isn't funny. And then, with a kicker who can put the Bills on their own 5 yard line, we instead decide to give them our own 48 just for the fun of it I guess. They score and are right back in a game they had no right to be in.

Ditto in the 4th quarter. When you work hard to get a comfortable lead... you then have to milk the clock and have nuttin but first downs in mind. Any fool knows this. I had to turn the damn game off because I thought BB and Brady and whomever had decided to make fools of Pats fans... Wow... finally a game we can win outright and we almost just toss it away (felt like a damn Giant fan)

Yeah a win but not one I enjoyed along the way or at the end. Esp since it could have been a Statement game in terms of Deflate.

great down the field........he dropped on in the flat........Brady has reason to trust him more and we would appear to be pretty well positioned when LaFell comes back

I was surprised at how undisciplined the Bill players were. Wrecks usually runs a pretty tight ship.

The reason the score was close is that Solder completely blew a block. Trying to blame it on the 4th down calls is asinine.

But why does he just hit the ground after some receptions? He caught a clutch one down the middle but then just went to the ground when he possibly could have taken it all the way.

If he has the potential to near 100 yard games and with him being wr4 at times or wr3 at times that is nice.

And then kick him in Rex's little pistachio nuts!!!

Rex Ryan ... who I like was a major douchebag on the handshake ...

He should have greater respect for his DADDY!

The last 4th down call gave them new life. Why the hell would you go deep when it's 4th and 1 and you have a quarterback that converts sneaks at a historic rate?
