Post Game Thread- Pats beat the Bills!!!!

[Ross12]

I get you. .
I guess I'll just live with it.

I don't think I fall in the confines of the "banned" type posters.
I hope.

I don’t recall ever wanting to kick you so I think you’re probably good lol

 

[Bruins29]

But why do so many demand everyone wave Pom Poms and give golfer claps?

This is the problem. You actually think this. Its completely false/

 

[RobertWeathers]

I was losing my mind.!!
That's how I watch football.

I could care less if you don't like it.
Why don't you text your homer buddy, and tell each other how great TB is, and how they never make mistakes.?

See how that works.
This is a "public" message board with different opinions.

If you don't like that, fine.

Actually, your acting like the ones you complain about right now.

So "Get a grip"

No. It's your behavior that 90% of the board in which is despised.

Go back and read your GDT posts. It's poor and you are better than that.

 

[JMC00]

because you are a top 5 guy on this forum in terms of football knowledge and articulation.

Well he definitely likes to think he is.

Looks like the Patriots offense wore out the bills by the end and ran away with the game. Take any win that you can but the team needs to play better going forward when the competition is better.

The run game was great and wore out the bills. The defense was very shaky but limited the bills to FGs in the red zone. Better offenses won't go 0- fer in the red zone. Hopefully when KVN returns that helps the front 7 which has looked shaky the past few games.

FYI nobody posted anything like that. So while I hear what you are saying and agree in many ways some of the problem here is that there is a huge strawman in the room. This strawman is creating an illusion that there are some "super homers" here who post nonsense only. Consequently this stramwan is also saying there are posters who are being chastised for criticizing the team.

There was plenty of shade directed at the team today at it was 100% justified. Plenty of these posters got their point across by pointing out issues/problems and none of them were attacked or are complaining that they were attacked.

What this all boils down to is that there are a few posters here that are all about just being annoying. It is not about these posters coming into the GDT and giving an opinion. What it is about is that this small contingent of posters has a solid track record of continually doing it - getting under peoples skin and creating a thread which ends up a circus. The post history is there so there is no real debate on these posters motives or tactics.

But the bottom line is that these posters, who seem to like the chaos they are creating are again winning, because the debates about the same subject (and there stupidity) is spilling out into other threads.

3-4 irritating posters shouldnt be creating this much negative energy here.

Dude? The guy trolled me, while complaining about trolls.

No. It's your behavior that 90% of the board in which is despised.

You complain about trolls, but your post to me WAS trolling, no?
Your trolling now.

I've never started any problems with you.

But,, I don't stand down.

You don't like my opinions. OK, cool.

Whatever, I've taken this too far already.
Merry X mass to you and everyone here.
No hard feelings, Really

 

[juny]

That would be one of my personal biggest regrets is losing Jimmy for the future.....he is going to be a superstar......but in B.B. we trust!!!!

It was not realistic that the pats keep both especially with the salary cap

 

[Bruins29]

Dude? The guy trolled me, while complaining about trolls.

I am really confused. So.... People are trolling people about people trolling other people?????

I think we are going to crash the internet here.

 

[RayClay]

This is so dumb- it's not like the Pats eked out a 4 point win as a result of that call-there was 2 more quarters for the Jill's to score- ....they were beaten by 21 pts. Bills are an embarrassment.

Jerry Hughes. Did he play? I kept hearing Romo say they had no pass rush, maybe that hurt Jerry's feelings.

Well 50% of the After game thread are posts complaining about the GDT

It's just funny, I guess. Annoying, but funny

 

[JMC00]

The defense was very shaky but limited the bills to FGs in the red zone. Better offenses won't go 0- fer in the red zone. .

Since the Panthers game teams are 12 for 32 in the red zone. So I disagree. Better offenses will likely have a similair fate given that the Pats red zone defense has been one of the best in the league over the last 12 weeks

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

Yeah but Allen and Gilmore's contract and Guerrero and Dorsett

 

[Kdo5]

The win wasn't great but I'll take it. Barring a huge choke we have homefield throughout.

Hopefully we'll be getting KVN and Branch back for the Divisonal Round and that will be a boon for our defense which has been rather inconsistent lately though they came through in the second half of this game.

Butler is still giving up big plays and Gilmore has drawn two consecutive receivers that he struggled against. We need more out of our top two corners. This kind of play will not cut it if we play the Steelers again. Also I may not be paying enough attention but where is Jonathan Jones? I haven't heard his name if he's even been on the field much. Is he injured? Curious that he isn't out there because he has been more consistently good than our top two corners throughout the season.

Offense needs to play a complete game. The running game is a big help but Brady needs to be more sharp for 60 minutes, not just 30 minutes. He was good against Pittsburgh but you'd like to see that offense running more efficiently than has is this late in the year. If his achilles is bothering him hopefully a weeks rest will be helpful, better yet two weeks if Pittsburgh loses tomorrow night. Don't get me wrong though. He was decent today and did his job although there were two or three poor throws/decisions that you don't expect from him.

We need to be healthy and I'm feeling pretty good. We should absolutely beat the Steelers at home. I'm not worried about Jacksonville after watching today. The 49ers played by far their best game of the season but Jacksonville played their own role in that debacle. Bortles sucks and that defense is not as great as advertised.

I never called you a troll.

I'm accusing you as panic stricken without perspective.

If people think I'm trolling they are more than welcome to send a note to Ian and I will defend myself.

 

[Angelpats]

We won my three touchdowns. Some bad throws here and there. Defense was shaky in the first half. We weren’t perfect but we WON by three tds. I don’t know how some of you all can be mad at each other. If anything these last few games gave us a great opportunity to adapt to teams that can play man to man with us. It was bad during Miami, got little better vs the Steelers but it was too one dimensional with Gronk, this game we spread it around more with success. These games are what will prepare us for the playoffs and not sneak up on us like the 07 giants did.

I'm panic striken???.. When did I ever say that??

I'm one the most ardent, supportive fans on here. LOL

.

BTW, I have absolutely no problems with your "trolling", for lack of a better word.

And I certainly would not go running behind Ian"s skirt.

As you said about me, you are a good poster.
I just enjoy differently than you , NP.

Yes, I'm the annoying guy in the sports bar going "WTF?" or a "GO GO GO GO", "Get that MFer"...etc..

But I enjoy following the game here.

And respect others opinions, even if I don't agree. (to a point).

I think my remarks in the GDT are extremely tame , IMO

I have no issue with some criticism. There was plenty of things that went wrong today. The Brady pick six, Gilmore/Butler pooping themselves on multiple occasions.

It wasn't always pretty but they did break the game open when it mattered. The running game was outstanding and I thought protection from the OL was also solid.

2017 Buffalo is better than the some of the trash teams of theirs that we've destroyed in the past. We seem to forget that our divisional opponents aren't necessarily always push over bottom feeders based off the past seventeen years. They were still fighting for a playoff spot today.

There are fans here who are so spoiled that they can't bear it when the Patriots don't trounce an opponent and look perfect.

Pats won comfortably in the end and now have a first round bye. All in all we should be pleased with today's result.

 

[SlowGettingUp]

I thought gilmore and butler had a rough game, but strong day for flowers, wise, and brown on D.

Looked to me like we played a lot more single-high safety than normal, so the corners were often one-one-one with no help. And a lot of scrambles and bootlegs, so they had to cover for longer. And Benjamin is huge - going to be a big problem next year when he is healthy. Not saying that was a great game from either corner, but have to look at the whole picture.

The big surprise for me was M. Flowers. Truly next man up.
