...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.
