The Official Patriots vs. Bills Post-Game Thread

[fnordcircle]

Great game, very happy with where this team is despite the injuries. We're going to be competitive in every game and nobody will ever be able to count us out because we've gained such mental toughness battling through more than any other team.

I hate to be negative, though, but I do want to send a special **** YOU out to Dan Fouts for saying Brandon Spikes went to the sideline out of embarrassment. Dude is playing with an injury you fat, pompous piece of ****.

BTW, can anyone confirm that Blount set the team record for All-Purpose yards today?

Blount smoked them Bills.

Mankins returned to the game. Amendola had 1 catch. Ridley did pretty well. Thompkins didn't see much time (I don't believe)

Blount was the MAN though..

Dang, hope Dobson is ok to go in 2 weeks. Looks like the passing took a beating with the rain I would assume.

BLOUNT!! All other discussion is anti-climactic. BLOUNT!!

Key to playoffs is how healthy can our players that are at 50%+ get back in 2 weeks.

We'll always be able to win as long as we have Tom and it's nice to have a bruiser in the run game for the playoffs as opposed to previous years with average backs like Green Ellis.

The #2 seed after all these injuries is an incredible performance from the Patriots.

Exactly ! This is just incredible. And let's not forget, all 4 losses, we were in those games, and could have won all of them. That's the sign of a mentally strong team that doesn't not give up ! Love this team ! Blount was in BEAST mode today, tell me you didn't think of Clock killin Corey Dillon when you watched Blount running today ?

And down go the Bills...Down go the Bills. Blount did to the Bills what he did to this dude, he knocked them OUT

Great Stat. That's an impressive streak

Harmon was awesome. Evident by his name not called even once.

This indicates he did. I don't see another Patriots player on there.

Two yards shy of tying Gale Sayers and Flipper Anderson at #10

Blount has the highest ypc for a Patriot leading rusher of the BB era. (5.0 ypc)

Edit: Nvm, Ridley is the leading rusher by 1 yard. Doh!

Ridley: 773 yards 4.3 ypc 7 TDs
Blount: 772 yards 5.0ypc 7 TDs

Talk about a two headed attack. Ride it to the SB!

 

[chasa]

I think It would be difficult for all people to convince me that ridley is the more dynamic back than blount.

Hey guys I missed the second half. How did amendola, KT and Ridley do. Any word on mankins and Dobson.

Amendola. KT and Ridley were on the field but not asked to do anything. Mankins looks OK after his ankle injury, not sure if Dobson came back or not because Brady wasn't throwing to anyone other than Wes Edelman.
If this QB and this OC don't broaden out this passing game we're in for a short playoff run.
Brady looked pretty lousy and was outplayed by whatshisname, the Bills 8th string QB.
If not for Mr. Blount the Patriots were going to have significant difficulty winning this game today.

that game thread is really ridiculous...

Hey I just start it, I don't post on it during the game.

Eh, not worried about Tom. Get Dobson, KT, amendola, vereen, collie, Edelman 100% and not in the rain, we will be fine. It helps that Blount, vereen and Ridley could be a 3 headed monster.

I want Dobson 100%. We need that deep threat and RZ target bad.
