The Official Patriots vs Bills Game Thread

[RayClay]

OL looked good considering. It seems to me they know what they have now.

Cannon and Kline are the key backups. Devey is on the bench and Fleming is wait and see.

They prepare for injuries. There will be growing pains, but Stork is hopefully available game days. Better hope for some backup LB too play, I'm guessing.

You're assuming solder is the same as last year

You have a point. I'm just so surprised by how he has played. I honestly thought that he was a better player than what we have seen so far. I wonder if there is an injury we haven't heard about?

 

[Danger Zone]

I wonder what Brady will do when he retires.

Uh, you've seen who he's married to, yeah?

I'm pretty sure Brady is already doing that..

Bills fans are claiming the Pats got preferential treatment by the officials, just as they have in every single game the two teams have played since 2001. 2BillsDrive and BuffalloBills.com both are boiling with rage.

I was boiling with rage at the officials treatment of the Pats in this game.

Guess it's true, the fan filter is a very real thing.

You know, I never believed that Mankins made that much of a difference to Solder's game, but man, it's obvious, Mankins covered up some major flaws by Solder. Jeez, he is awful. Brady has basically said, F... it, this is my line, I'm going to do my job. If I get killed, so be it. Never ever thought that he would be this bad. Hell, the entire line is suspect, but I expected more from Solder.

You get It....alot of these rose colored glasses boys don't....face it folks ....Solder is playing poor football...WATCH THE TAPE!......he is being exposed more every week......BB needs to resolve this problem or Brady wont make it thru the season....GREAT POST!

Keep watching. None of these little cornerbacks want to tackle Lafell.

And what are you doing here anyway? This team has no talent, Belichick has destroyed it through poor drafting. Brady's washed up. Stop me if I mention a meme you haven't driven into the ground.

I just told you McKelvin gave no effort to make the tackle. You come back with "None of these little cornerbacks want to tackle Lafell". In other words you just said, "Keep watching, I'm going to say the exact same thing as you in a different way". No problem, I give you permission to borrow the point I made. Stick with me kid...you'll be ok.

Ok then how about just 1 ABOVE AVERAGE health season.

We got hit with them pretty bad today, but otherwise we've been okay. Alotta guys have gotten dinged up, but until possibly today we've had no season ended injuries which we've been pretty fortunate with this year.

I really would like to make a website that does nothing but grade the referees play by play and give neutral, objective observations (as much as possible) on what the rules are and how they were/or weren't enforced.

Good game on both sides of the ball. cant believe how happy a brady smile makes me feel.

P.S - did we saw gronk having a snack in the middle of the game? first time ever. i mean, gatorade ok, even a banana (tennis) but a snack?

Makes me think his "injury" could have been cramping.

I honestly thought both teams received a fair share of bad calls. Definitely was not the difference in the game.

 

[Run DMC]

If Solder is really that bad, then switch him to RT and have Vollmer over there. Vollmer has done it before, quite well I might add.

La Fell breaks a lot of tackles. LaFell is big, strong and athletic. You think the team personnel sucks and their coach sucks, so you should just slither away.

Honestly, I think the whiff on Hughes had him helping the guard when no help was needed

All in all, the ol did ok today....that's one tough dl

Yes. There were times when he had all day to throw. Considering injuries and all, they did a good job.

With no pocket to step up into, the Tackles played a great game to hold them to two sacks, and force the pass rushers even deeper.
