Post Game Thread Pats @ Bills

[deroc5050]

Solder had a rough day today but I think he has played well over all. I haven't heard anyone *****ing about his play besides today.

 

[Tony2046]

That was a hard hitting game.

jills players being salty little *****es about Gronk, saying it's all Brady and Bennett is better

Bills left unimpressed by Rob Gronkowski

Man, those guys are dopes. Gronk just owned them in this game. Granted, Brady is the GOAT QB but still, Gronk is just money.

Dan Fouts gets four thumbs down.

Someone needs to tell Dan how much he sucks at color commentary. He is simply HORRIBLE!

 

[Tony2046]

Tomlin could learn a few things from Ryan.

 

[SalemPats]

TB is amazing.

One thing that bugs me is that you don't have call a PI when a QB throws it deep and it's close to the WR. Let them battle a bit

Did Shea Mcclellin play any snaps on defense?

The bildo should have drawn a flag. 12 Buffalo Bills on the field.

I guess his handprint on that guy's chest didn't make an impression.

He lost Bush on a wheel route - you know the route our LBs are never able to cover.

Good game. Pats win..Bills look like idiots

Exactly. I said it in the game thread. Rex will be a sad sack, beat down loser. He gloated on his "Big" win , 1st time around. Bills postgame press conference

 

[patchick]

Tomlin could learn a few things from Ryan.

That's a funny thing about Rex. For all his posturing and bombast in the leadup to a season or a game, when he loses he generously takes his lumps graciously and honestly. Whereas the Tomlins and Harbaughs of the world are all class until they lose, at which point they turn whiny and bitter and start making excuses.

You know how Mike Lombardi is always repeating those tweets about how certain organisations can't get out of their cycle of mediocrity because they fail to evaluate themselves objectively ? I think that this is also true for some players that somehow fail to elevate themselves beyond mediocrity like Stephon Gilmore. And the answers he gave to the Bills reporters after the game are pretty telling about excuses and failure to accept reality:

But I guess that's what you get with the Rex Ryan program..

You know the Bills are in trouble when Rex is the most lucid post game speaker for Buffalo.

I'm willing to cut some slack to players making comments directly after a loss. Once the emotions are overheated the words that follow are likelier to be bordering on the silly. But in my recollection this is not an anomaly for post game Bills' comments. And your (Luuked) comments/caption are spot on. When the Patriots win what are you still guaranteed to hear? BB, his staff, his players speak of "areas needing improvement". Some may consider that commenting theme a platitude but I'm not one of them. The Patriots from top to bottom -- starting with BB -- look at themselves to improve even in victory. TB is the top of the pyramid, a genuine celebrity that is filthy rich, yet even he looks to improve after victory. So you damn well better know most of the guys down the roster better eat-sleep-believe the words "areas to improve".
It's this kind of mentality that is one of the key components to consistency/remaining competitive. And if these post game comments by Gilmore represent the Bills' mentality? It's all but a certainty the Bills will lose games that they otherwise "think" they should be winning. Wouldn't even surprise me to see the Bills settle in at the bottom of the AFCE.

Darby would look great in a Patriots uniform.

 

[Lavictoire]

Stupid ref. That BS penalty at the end on Rowe changed the Pats points allowed per game from 15.5 to 16.5. ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS

YES!! And the rushing TD was compliments of a blatant hold on Collins that wasn't called or even mentioned by Fouts. I am also annoyed by hurting the defense ppg stats.
