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

[TheRainMaker]

Dis barmore play ?

Yes. He caused one play that resulted in a Landry sack, but he's hasn't been very good overall this season. The stat nerds are going to hunt me down, but he's nowhere close to what he was in 2023 with complete crap surrounding him.

What happened to Diggs ?

He's not the same player he once was.

Landry is virtually useless as a pass rusher.

Him and Chaisson are what they are: spastic pass rushers that can get taken out of a game if they don't win at the initial point of attack. Allen wasn't phased by either of them.

He wanted Hollins to run a sideline up pattern and Hollins cut it off

Maybe because Hollins had beaten his guy early in the game and Maye threw it back shoulder on a comeback. They did the opposite thing of what the other expected both times.

 

[reflexblue]

Would he have been here today if the Pats won?

That is chickenshit!

No he wouldn't have, he'd be in hiding

Patriots started this game like it was their Super Bowl. They were energized, running tricks plays (reverses and throwbacks), and playing with their hair on fire. But once the adrenaline wore off, the game became about who is the better overall team.

The Bills started this game like a 6am shift at Wendy’s on a Tuesday. Going through the motions and running simple plays. They had no adrenaline to wear off because they had none to start with. They ran their usual boring plays and eventually the greater overall talent began to be the deciding factor on a play by play basis, and the Patriots were simply overmatched. That’s why they couldn’t stop anything Buffalo did and also why they couldn’t move the ball in the second half.

Pats will be ready for primetime in a year or two, but they just aren’t there yet. Division winner or not.

When will the Bills be ready for prime time?

When will you run away and hide again?

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

The refs actually are the reason they lost.

It snot a legit penalty because he didn't MOVE the defender.

I've heard 10 million times you can grab the waist as long as you don't dictate the direction of the receiver.

Which TD did we get from a missed call?

The one on the first drive?

That's on the bills coach for not challenging it. They get no sympathy from me for not being ready to throw the flag.

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

Chaisson got pancaked

 

[GreenCow]

When will the Bills be ready for prime time?

Bills have been the definition of primetime for the past half decade. Playoffs every year and multiple AFC Championship games.

If you’re asking when will they win a SB, who knows.

The problem is that Chaisson and Landry don’t generate pressure and the 5th and 6th LBs we send don’t either. Donta Hightower would be a monster on this team.

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

The cope in here is unbelievable...it's the refs! If Allen plays a good pass rush he's dead! This game was a big eye opener. In key situations all second half Maye looked lost. Guys were not beating man, line couldn't hold up, and there was absolutely nothing available deep. This game was the blueprint - and Buffalo didn't have their best corner. Maye needs to go back to the drawing board. I hope this is just a hiccup but if we see another panicked sub par performance from the franchise qb next week he could end up being more Mac Jones rookie year fools gold than a consistent top 5 QB. Drake Maye looked scared in the second half.

I'd say it was more than he scheme. Where was diggs? Get that guy in motion

 

[scott99]

Allen is the best QB in football, he showed it again today. He’s been great running and passing the ball. They have a massive, tough OLine. When he’s on, no lead is safe and he’s unstoppable.

HT was an underated rusher in his early days. I would've liked for him to have rushed the passer more. Those days ended when Mayo left moving him more to MLB and especially when Collins left. They needed someone in coverage.

Landy and Chaisson were nice pick ups, but they are very similar to Tully Banta-Cain. Pats needs some true edge setters than can use power to get up field rather than only relying on running around T's. We saw how large of gaps in the middle of the field it left for Allen to run though.

 

[VrabelJr]

I’m ok giving Barmore a pass for now. With Milton out there is nobody else on the DL teams need to worry about. They can just double Barmore every play. The other 3 stooges need to start winning their 1on1s.

That's a pretty weak rationalization, winning a division in the NFL certainly IS "primetime" however you spin it. Your Prairie Cows are in second place looking up at the Patriots and that might not change.

I could watch replays of HT blowing up Guards and Centers all day.

 

[Sect140]

This was not the Super Bowl, or even the playoffs. And one of the things the coaches say about Maye is that he learns quickly from negative events

Common sense will not be allowed here.

 

[bormio]

I could watch replays of HT blowing up Guards and Centers all day.

And RBs named Lynch at the 1/2 yard line

 

[Ring 6]

You have a lower standard for prime time than we do. And the Patriots are certainly ready for your definition; making the playoffs and losing.
And we have no ****y fans who hide out after losses.

another unbelievable stat i heard - 1st Qtr Pats TOP - 11 mins. Rest of the game 15 mins. they had the ball for 4 and 2 mins in the 2nd half or something like that
