Game Day Thread The Official Week 3 Patriots at Bills Thread

[DOGWARZ]

Great now we get to see the bills tie it up

 

[NSPF]

Same fing play as Faulk on 4 and 2, yet they never get enough yards on that

I swear to god that was a first down. I'll never let it rest.

 

[PushnPencils]

To me...this game is sobering....in many ways.

 

[Modest]

Great drive only for it to dry up into a FG.

 

[Sean Pa Patriot]

poor play calling in the red zone, they might have seem gun shy in the red area..

 

[R_T26]

Why did we spend 2nd and 3rd round pick on 2 running backs?

 

[Hardboiled]

This next drive will define the game. D needs to come up big here, if Buffalo ties it, I may jump out a window...

Yes, big drive coming up. This drive will be a big D test.

But it looks like every drive for both teams will be big.

 

[sbpatfan]

Well, I'm out. Tired of listening to people *****.

 

[Sfpat]

Pats playing not to lose this game, and you know how that story ends. Ask the Raiders.

 

[hovis]

run blocking needs to get better

 

[Michael]

Another POOR decision by Brady,thanks

If he took another second and looked straight he would have seen Branch and I believe a TD.

Something nobody ever talks about when discussing red zone is where you are in the red zone to begin a series.

Having a first down close to the 10 yard line and needing all 10 yards to get the first down or a TD has an extremely poor conversion rate.

When a team gets in the red zone, I always look at it, and when Gronk went down at the 11 or whatever, I knew it was trouble. You'd actually almost rather have first and ten at the 20 than at the 11, as silly as that sounds. The field is too compressed and getting 10 yards is really hard.

The difference between first and goal at the 6 or inside and first and goal at the 10 is like 30 percentage points I think.

 

[stcjones]

Gonna come down to who has ball last.....

 

[Haley]

How big of a wtf would it be if we lost and the jets did too leaving the jills winning the div?

 

[Hardboiled]

Really? It's driving me to drink!

 

[patfanken]

If the Pats are ever going to rush the Passer we need to see it this half

 

[oldskool138]

Really? It's driving me to drink!

You haven't been doing that already?

 

[DefenseRules]

Why did we spend 2nd and 3rd round pick on 2 running backs?

Good question. A pass rusher might have been more usefule, because those backs are not being used at all.

Exactly, that woodhead pass should have been a last resort checkdown, not a first look panic throwaway

I've always wondered about this actually. You've found stats on it somewhere?
