The Bills got lucky with a fluke punt return fumble facemask, whatever you want to call it.
But it took FIVE dropped passes (two of them touchdowns), a fumble where no-one touched the guy, and a missed field goal, to beat the Bills by 4 points.
I don't know how you come away impressed by that. If literally any one of those didn't happen, the Bills win. Thats a very narrow margin there, and it took a lot.
I know you will all **** on this post, and thats fine. Fans should. But I thought Belichick's coaching last night was downright bad.
Narratives change based on who wins. Not on the actual play. If the Bills got into the endzone at the end, today would be all about how Belichick didn't throw enough, didn't score more than 14 points, blah blah blah.
But the Bills didn't deserve to win. Period. They sucked.
W...T...F.
That is just hilarious.
Allen was an absolute BEAST last night. He is the only Bill that deserved to win. The rest of them deserved NOTHING!
Allen was throwing darts in 50 mile per hour winds.
His TE dropped THREE passes - two of them first downs, and one of them was a TD.
His WR, Diggs, dropped a 40 yard DIME of a TD that went right through his hands.
His RB literally just fumbled the ball without anyone touching him.
His kicker missed a FG.
Allen put on a show last night, the rest of the team just shat the bed.
Every QB in human history - even Brady - are going to miss open guys sometimes. It happens.
I think we found McDermotts burner account.I honestly wasn't very impressed with the Patriots at all.

FIFYOf course they all dropped passes.. this is exactly why BB refused to make the pats receivers look incompetent because they can't catch passes in very windy, blustery conditions.
Ive seen all the excuses before.W...T...F.

Allen threw passes that would have missed a giraffe.
People love ejaculatory praise for the failures of these athletic QB's, don't they?

Sure, Allen has a cannon for an arm but it was pretty stupid of his coach to have him fight the weather.
This game was 90% coaching, and McDermott got his ass handed to him. You'd think that after all his years in Buffalo he would know better than to fight the weather.
And he should have taken the wind, instead of deferring.
Nor did he succeed. He was the least of their problems, no doubt. But let's hold off on the Congressional Medal of Honor for his 15 for 30 passing performance.Allen didnt fail. His team did.
Playing the "if" game is the lowest form of fandom, but since you made your list:
- Your one TD was gifted by a fluke special teams turnover, and your one FG was set up by the worst 15 yard penalty ever called. How does that 4 point win look without all of your 10 points?
- Hard to call the Diggs "drop" a true drop when everyone knows the balls would move like a knuckle ball when in the air that long. THAT was part of the weather game plan.
- The Knox "drop" in the end zone was a PBU.
- Your fluke turnover gave us the ball at our own 30. Our fluke turnover gave you the ball at our 15. Can't really compare the magnitude of those gifts if we are being honest, can we?
So, a team just tied one hand behind their backs, told you they were going to run every play, and still rammed those bildos back up your sphincters...and you are not impressed. What does that say about you off-season paper champions? How Jets-like.
It was a good one year run for the Bills though. 2020 was the Bills era.

You have never tried to catch a knuckle ball, have you?Perhaps you should go back and read my post.
I literally ended it with "But the Bills didn't deserve to win. Period. They sucked."
As far as Diggs, how much more perfect of a throw could you get?
This is pathetic the level you're going to in order to excuse Diggs dropping that.View attachment 38461
I haven't even mentioned the PI that wasn't called...

Knox wasn't a drop that was a pass breakup.
You have never tried to catch a knuckle ball, have you?
Hoping for pass interference on that play is pathetic.
Coaching had practically 0 to do with it. Belichick coached like crap, in my opinion.
Dropping passes because of the wind?? What did the wind make their hands cold? Give me a break.
There is ZERO reason for dropping these passes. Allen was throwing dimes DESPITE the wind.
Yes it did and denial and damage control will only come back to bite in the end.No. That literally never happened last night. He had two or three wayward passes because off the wind. But none were crazy bad.
Yes it did
