Yeah, after putting on a clinic on Sunday, McDaniels laid an egg last night.
@irishfanatic ....I agree with your earlier post.......where's @Biffins, @crawhammer or other Bill haters these days? Funny how their not showing up now with any anti Bill talk.
I think they’re in for a big surprise. We comin’ now.The funny thing is I don't think a decent portion of the Buffalo fans and media think the Pats are a real threat. I was listening one of those overnight shows on WEEI or 98.5 the other night and they had a Buffalo beat guys on and they asked him about how people in Buffalo feel about the Pats knocking on the Bills' door for competition for the division and his response was people in Buffalo don't focus on teams behind them in the standings and only focus on their real competition who are ahead of them in the standings. He basically went on to say that the Bills have the division locked and they are just focusing on getting things fixed to do damage in the playoffs. I know this is one guy, but from my limited anecdotal this arrogance is common with Bills fans.
I think Mac never considered that a defender, thr only one on that side will leave Harry alone like he did. A half a sec delay will have led to a long TD for Harry.Hmm I woudn't agree completely on this take.
At first the CB cut the pass damn good, Mac didn't seem to notice it so it was a well defensive play by the CB. He was already 10 yards off from covering Harry and than just cut inside and jumbed the Smith route (because most opponents don't expect Harrys number to be called, since he is really underused currently). Harry was open by at least 15 yards if not more when Mac has thrown deep to Smith. Smith was turned backwards to catch the ball so his movement direction was away from the LoS (backwards runnnig) while the CB crossed the LoS if you watch the direction of play, so the CB has had a better angle for the ball as he also got the right timing for it. Maybe Mac could have trown it higher where only Jonnu could have gotten it? I don't know...
However overall Jonnu seems not to find the right spot for himself in this offense, he doesn't look like a real TE more like a toy to handle the ball over on slants or reverse behind the LoS, quite dissapointed so far in what he has shown.
But again I would like to see more Harrys number called during the games, he is a better fit for such jump balls and he gets a better seperation than in previous years. And the opponents should be forced to account for him in the passing game in order to avoid such defensive plays where his cover guy jumps the route because noone is expecting the ball to go to Harry.
a split with Buffalo by itself will not win the division thanks to the Miami game. We need the bills to lose at least one other game.
Bring on the Titans!!
Good sign that they're not just beating these teams they're demolishing them - which is what legit teams with an eye on January football should be doing. Other than the Texans game...that one just feels like the one stinker you can count on the Pats having per season.So far, we pounded the Jets twice, Houston, Atlanta, Carolina, and Cleveland. Not exactly a murderer's row of opponents. Next week vs Tennessee and the two Jills games will tell us a lot. The close losses vs Dallas and TB give me hope.
Terrell was covering Harry and broke off (that would have been a TD had Jones seen it). I doubt Smith even saw him coming until it was too late to adjust to the slightly underthrown ball.On the Mac Jones interception, did anyone else think that Jonnu Smith misplayed it and made it easier for Terrell to make the interception. It seemed to me that Smith didn't attack the ball which allowed Terrell to make the play on the ball for the interception.
In case people missed it. It was MAC JONES who put a shoulder in on Terrell to help bring him down..
He had an easy TD if Jones had thrown the pick ball to him instead of Smith.N'Keal 2 for 2 for 15 yards, nice 9 yard grab...baby steps I guess
Exactly my thoughts when it happened.On the Mac Jones interception, did anyone else think that Jonnu Smith misplayed it and made it easier for Terrell to make the interception. It seemed to me that Smith didn't attack the ball which allowed Terrell to make the play on the ball for the interception.
Well the only team ahead of them in the standings is Tennessee who they have already played and lost to. So I don’t think only focusing on a team they’ve already lost to and won’t see again is a good plan for the remaining 8 games of the regular season.The funny thing is I don't think a decent portion of the Buffalo fans and media think the Pats are a real threat.
