Make it happen Twin: make it happen.

Twin.. I'm waiting for the post coming about AJ contract... I'm telling you.. AJ Brown is the guy we need to pair with Diggs and Henry, Henry is a top 5 TE.. also..

Maye's trajectory looks the same even though he's having a very good Sophomore Year.

Twin I would be remiss if I didn't post about vederian lowes home improvement yesterday.. he almost lost us the game..

Is this the tourch?

That was a vintage Diggs performance. I haven't seen a wr make plays on the sidelines like that since Brandon Lloyd.. remember him?

I remember seeing a lot of people on the internet blasting the Pats for paying Milton Williams that much money. I bet they're quiet now

the guy is a monster and worth every penny

Really good win. I realize that Stefon Diggs had added incentive to want to stick it to the Bills, but his 180 from prima Donna to team leader has been astonishing. Not just on the field but even more impressive that his in game contributions was the amount of energy he expended on the sidelines. He drove them and urged them on relentlessly every second of that game.

Vrabel and Co. did an amazing job last offseason. They brought in exactly the kinds of players he wanted to build a team with, and clearly hit the draft out of the park. But even then it takes a lot of time and convincing to turn that into a real winning team. Last night was the kind of win that gets a group of 53 guys to completely buy into what he and his coaches have been telling them from day 1, play your asses off every down, don't let mistakes phase you, and play as a team and you can beat anyone. That win made them all believers, and that will take them a long long way going forward. I don't think anyone believed t would happen this fast but imo they have turned the corner from laughingstock of the league to playoff contenders. On January the 5th the Bills laughed their asses off as the Patriots beat them and lost the 1st overall pick in the draft, after last night it's safe to say that they aren't laughing anymore.

Sure. How can you forget 0.0 YAC Lloyd?

LOL.. yeah he didn't get much YAC.. but was just using him as an example of a Patriots wr that I remember using the sideline like Diggs.. that was phenomenal Drake and those throws, wow!

That was a huge kick by Borregales.

So happy for this kid….he has had some struggles but hopefully he is on a good track now! Great win against a very good team in one of the hardest places to play and at night. Diggs is back and Maye is on his way to being elite ….

 

[Huckleberry1]

I think it was @Huckleberry1 who pointed out during the GDT that Farmer was playing until the whistle. Thats right. The refs hadn't blown the play dead.

And yes, my INITIAL reaction was that it was a brain cramp as well until Huck(?) pointed it out.

It wasn't me, but whomever it was got it right.

Who else is tired of announcers mentioning the Miami Dolphins popping champagne when their regular season record was broken in 2007? They are in heavy denial. Nobody gives a **** about a 12 game season.

This burns my ass every year….they dig these old crusty Doofin players out of the assisted living to chirp and make fools out of themselves. Pats demolished their regular season record and are only team in history to go 18-0……F Miami

 

[Huckleberry1]

What's most impressive about that stat is that he could have gotten 2 yards YAC simply by falling forward.

Mike Vrabel.

Ecstatic that we were able to sign him here…..he is definitely building a culture here already and guys love playing for him…..here’s to many more years of success for him (toasting with coffee now….hey that’s a pun ) long night….

I wasn't happy that Vrabel kept Stevenson in the game last night, but Vrabel is clearly demonstrating to his team that he has their backs, and that's a big deal. You aren't going anywhere if your coach doesn't believe in the team, and you don't believe in yourself.

Brandon Lloyd was the most frustrating receiver I can remember. His catch radius was ridiculous, he caught *everything*, did amazing work on the sideline, but holy ****, every catch he would just fall down, I've never seen anything quite like it.

I agree completely, it made me nuts.

Best road victory since the AFCCG against Kansas City! Legendary.

The defense was really impressive.. Milton Williams essentially on one ankle.. Barmore and farmer took cook out the game. I think we set a blueprint to how to slow the bills offense. As you know it's a copy cat league..
