PostGame Thread OFFICIAL POSTGAME THREAD: Patriots Fall 35-31 to the Bills

[Ian]

Frustrating loss in a game that obviously should have had a different outcome. Outscored 28-7 in the second half...just brutal.

We're on to Baltimore next Sunday night on SNF. Discuss.

 

[Brotherblues]

One of the most brutal beatdowns I've seen in recent memory. The final score is a lie. It was not close to an even match.

 

[VrabelJr]

Sloppy, but exciting game. If we're going to be contenders again there's going to be a lot more of these. Time to lick the wounds and get back at it. Ravens on Sunday Night and they're still trying to get a playoff bid. Another chance to beat a good team that doesn't want to be knocked out.

 

[ZotZot]

Wasted an ELITE Hendo game

 

[Ross12]

Don't want to be that guy, but this is on the officials. Plain and simple. Hard to get stops on defense when all of your stops get deleted. Gross stuff.

Drake was pathetic and so was the coaching.

Obviously the refs controlled the outcome of the game but the first two points remain.

The diggs story was a good one but you can’t have your #1 WR below 30 yards 3 straight weeks. He’ll be replaced in the offseason.

Their EDGE rushers are horrible. Should’ve made a move at the deadline.

 

[NFL Mystique]

They need to respond by winning three straight. Bottom line.

Disgusting effort

 

[Joey007]

Just handle business against the Jets/Dolphins. And the division is still ours.

Most are going to be upset about the way we lost, rather than the fact we lost. Already seeing people bawling about the season being over, get a grip.

Move ahead and regroup. Bills played insane in the second half. Sometimes you need one to sting.

No it’s on the defense. If people want to complain about the officials they also have to own that the officials pretty much gifted us a TD in the first half.

 

[Pacific Coast Patriot]

Buf played better no doubt in the 2nd half, but theres zero chance they win without some egregious help on multiple key plays that turned stops into scores. We will get 'em in the playoffs.

 

[condon84]

Defense crapped all over themselves.

Coaches had no idea how to stop the bleeding at all.

We need a real DC.

 

[TommyD4207]

Bills win, good job by them, they deserve it.

We're not ready for primetime yet.

There can be lessons in losing.

 

[Since1960]

And the answer is: “We’re Not Ready for Prime Time” but let’s hope its the last we hear from Isn Eagle…..

 

[ALP]

we aren't good enough yet to play against the refs and bills both, and that's ok

would rather take this loss now than in January, lots of stuff to take away

we still take the division and the one seed I think, so this game serves more as a good thing than a bad thing

 

[ahmed]

This game could **** up our season. Maye still has yet to show he can deliver in crunch time. In fact, he downright sucks in those situations back to last year which I was hoping was just rookie jitters.

What a massive choke job by everyone.

 

[ZotZot]

I hope Vrabes brings hellfire upon the team this week

 

[Kdo5]

Our defense was really bad today. The offense was a let down in the second half but giving up 5 TDs in a row. Gotta be kidding.

If that’s what they are we aren’t going far in the playoffs.

 

[gtfanboy]

They need to figure out how to unleash Maye and let him make mistakes. All the runs I knew it was going to bite them. Never got him in a rhythm.

Defense, not even know what to say there. 5 straight TDs.
