Official Game Day Thread- Week 16....Bills @ Pats

[Todd Bradley]

This is a playoff game for them and they’re playing like it.

Meanwhile, it feels like we’re just going through the motions and limping to the end of the season.

This team can still slip to #3. The Jags aren’t going to quit and Pitt has a very easy two game schedule.

We shouldn’t be having these kind of issues with the bills

 

[Its_The_Patriots]

Need a nice drive from the offense here. Need a TD

 

[festy1986]

He' not open there as there's a safety over the top. - romo

As the wideout is at the end of the end zoe

 

[UGAPatsfan]

This just isn’t a very good defense. What’s concerning is that the offense hasn’t been what we expect in weeks now.

 

[luuked]

You seem to defend nantz and romo a lot. Why can’t you hear the blatant bias they show? Yes I know romo knows the X’s and O’s which you’re obsessed with, but listen to the tone in their voices when they speak about things.

Because there is no bias at all from them. They are the best TV crew out there and I am looking forward to hearing them a couple more times this year.

Pats need TDs if they are going to keep giving up FGs.

 

[K. Dog]

I thought we got very fortunate there. There was no clear evidence to that his foot wasn't still down at the time of possession. If it was originally called incomplete then fine but it was called a TD and should have stayed that way.

I'm certainly not going to complain however. Brady needs to be more sharp. He's had his good moments the past weeks but a number of bad throws. Hoping for a more complete performance out of him.

Gilmore and Butler are hurting us although the game remains tied. Gilmore is having some trouble covering Benjiman. I don't blame him on the reversed TD but Benjamin is making it look easy otherwise. They might need to get Gilmore some help.

Butler meanwhile keeps giving up big plays that are entirely his fault. His value is plummeting if you ask me. He'll still get paid but not near what he was looking at before this season.

All this, including Butler's decline and the defense as a whole performing poorly, is precisely as I predicted in multiple preseason posts after the Gilmore signing. Why so many people here adore Gilmore is honestly a mystery to me.

 

[stcjones]

How many times have the bills punted? Once maybe?

I don’t even know their punters name or number....that is how rare.....wow

 

[mosslost]

Lucky to only be bent not broken., (except the refs bailed us)

 

[Gronkowski123]

How many times have the bills punted? Once maybe?

bills have the 29th rank passing attack, and their overall offense is pretty mediocre. yet, theyre moving the ball easily.

 

[festy1986]

Real time

When was the pats last on the field?

Over 30 mins I'm sure

 

[pwes]

tell me what rule would have changed that? he simply did not get two feet down with control of the ball......you want a catch as soon as it hits the hands?

I didn't say they should. I just said they would.

 

[r81m]

What’s crazy? We have a hit or miss defense, but we are 11-3 and only down by 3.

 

[juny]

As bad as the d looked they only.gave up 9 points so far. Offense has to put up more points

 

[n6249c]

James Harrison for Roberts?

Or Harris.

 

[Le Numéro Douze]

Lucky to only be bent not broken., (except the refs bailed us)

Hopefully it will have woken the offense.

 

[FourierSeries]

Lost in all of the sheer stupidity displayed in this thread by some of the dumbest people on the planet, the defense has only given up a total of 9 points today. This despite missing one of their best defenders.

 

[Ochmed Jones]

Too many second stringers out there on decense. Without branch and van noy the front seven is hurting!

Offense has to get touchdowns, not field goals.

 

[PittPatriot]

I feel once Van Noy gets back and we have an interior line with the likes of Brown, Butler, Branch, and Guy to stuff the run, we should be ok.
