Game Day Thread The Official Patriots vs Bills Game Thread

[JackBauer]

Jones, how about you cause sometype of pass rush before you act all tough.

He's been the only one creating pressure today.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Ok, preseason is over
Time for a 4th QTR Brady comeback!

 

[MTM558]

I have zero confidence in this team. The schedule only gets harder. They may win the division by default, but they're a joke.

 

[patsinthesnow]

I'm seeing a receiving corps that's killing the offense, not a front 7 that's stopping it.

Considering the 2nd best WR in the league is out todays game, this would be obvious.

 

[moejr]

I cannot believe we got rid of Mesko for this clown.

Still don't understand why they let Fells and Ballard go. At least they are veterans with experience.

 

[RobAllan]

There had to eventually be consequences for our personnel decisions. For every Moss, Welker, and Gronk, we've had an Ochostinko, Haynesworth, Hernandez, Ras-IR, et. al. Had we not had TB12 all these years, I suspect we'd have been closer to a .500 type team than we'd have ever known.

But everything has limits, even the great Tom Brady. Our "D" isn't improved enough, and our offense is several steps back.

That's not to say these things can't balance out over time, but all of these guys are either rookies or they're rookies in our system. Bummer.

 

[buile]

Allen couldn't get it out of our own half? Really?

Yeah... I ~really~ didn't like letting Mesko go.... I just didn't see enough in the pre-season to justify screwing with the kicking game like that... Gods, I hope I'm wrong.

Step off that ledge, sonny.

I can't believe the day has come when I would see the Pats look average.

We have green rookies who make stupid mistakes.
An offensive line who gets dominated.
A mediocre run game.
And a poor D.

Holy crap. How did it come to this?

Cheap owner, bad drafts, bad free agent acquisitions is how this happened

 

[JoeShmoe]

The head coach decided to keep the rooky punter over the reliable veteran punter. Rookies are rookies. They make rookie mistakes. This is the risk he took. We all have to live with it. Go Pats.

It's symptomatic of trying to be cheap, was the same with Welker, decisions made by the FO starting to become very very questionable. The rookies in the offense haven't been involved at all

Sorry to see you go so soon. More room on the bus though!

Yeah me either. I'm guessing this was collateral damage due to the cap hit from Hernandez's contract? We had to cut corners to save money where we could.

 

[Foxypats]

We can't rely on Rob coming back and bailing out this team. They need a lot more than him on O.

 

[DaBruinz]

Loving all the fair weather fans posting.. Hopefully you sad sacks will be gone by next weeks game..

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

That too
but you're seeing Brady hit more than ever this game and rushed when he's not hit

 

[tonyto3690]

EJ Manuel has thrown it 10+ yards downfield I think twice today.

Especially given how bad the safeties are in coverage, why aren't we blitzing them more?

So you're 16...

It's week 1. Young team. Give it some time. If this team is playing like this in Week 9. I'll be right behind y'all in the headhunting... The last two SB winners prove that Sep-Nov results hardly matter.

 

[Ozymandias]

No more mistakes.

It's the first game and you're already passing judgement. Get a grip. :doh:

 

[SVN]

We use to be able to win games with 17-20 pts. We have to win those games too. Thats what happens in the playoffs. Our D cannot play decent the whole game . They have tons of first round picks yet ,no pressure.
