I'm sure you will continue to hear it from our resident village idiot.

Which one? We're a special village with 3 or 4 of them now..

We survived the Harry muff!

It was a close shave.

Bill says wind in 2008 finale was a lot worse.

 

[GreenCow]

They had 59 minutes to figure it out. If you can’t adapt, get out of coaching football.

The Pats rushing really wasn’t a problem at all.

Think about it.

For all the yardage they put up on the ground, the Bills still had 2 chances in the redzone to win it.

I would say the run hurt them more than helped them. The Bills just crapped themselves on offense.

That was brutal

 

[DaBruinz]

For anybody parroting your favorite sports radio personality and still babbling how the play calling was conservative, that was not conservative. That was balls out, radical recognition of the reality of what this game was going to be.

You think it would be showing what a tough smart different guy you are, to pretend your team can play pitch and catch with that crazy wind?

No. The right call was punch them in the mouth all night unless/until they can stop you. They couldn't.

Philips has sneakily become one of my favorite players this year. I’m “praying” he’s OK.

[Reubski23]

honestly going for two in the first two minutes changed the whole complexion of the game!

absolutely genius move by Bill.

People talk about pass v run, but this was a case of different runs and blocking schemes. Kudos to McD for his diverse playcalling in a limited gameplan.

Not asking Mac to make plays worked. I think the Bills though the Pats would eventually open up. They didn’t.

OL was tremendous. Hard to block 8 in the box, let alone 10.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Honestly hard to argue with what Poyer and Hyde are saying. They did hold us to 14 points, their offense is what blew it. That reporter should be asking those questions to the Bills offense.

Phillips almost surely was a cramp.

I’m afraid not, looked likely he tweaked a knee. Hopefully not badly.

This is the opposite of the Pats/Vikings game where Bledsoe threw 70 times. The Pats imposed their will on the Bills. It wasn't pretty (and god knows I didn't like it) but it worked.

 

[Brick27]

Bill needs to give these guys a look

LOL at how limp wristed and weak minded. Clown “leaders”.

 

[n6249c]

Lost some respect for Buffalo today with how much they were begging for flags every play. Plus McDermott screaming at the refs all game. It was really pathetic.

McDermott looked desperate

 

[UFGatorPat]

Hopefully Phillips is okay.

Especially after Bills fan booing him injured

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Phillips didn't go into the locker room or anything so hopefully that's a good sign? I just saw him talking to trainers on the sidelines and he didn't really look dejected to me.

 

[BlueThunder]

Bill's best coaching job ever...he should win it easily.

Imagine if Tom is MVP and Bill is COTY....and they meet in the Super Bowl. Lol.

And Mac is ROTY
