Official Post Game Thread- Pats beat the Bills

Doctor DDS said:

Best offensive game since the opening night beat down of the Steelers. Were solid on 1st down which has been missing much of the year.
Liked the aggressive play call on 4th and one at the 40 before the half. Sanu's failure to block ruined what would have been a 1st down and temporarily changed the game.
Was a little surprised BB did not call for a short kick after taking the 15 yard penalty. Seemed like a great opportunity to try and pin the Bills deep.

Lost me with that first sentence. Hello43-0 Miami game???

I see on gamecast that jimmy is getting sacked a lot. Bad protection or is he holding it too long?

The offense was finally in sync today.
Now people want to sit Brady and Edelman so they take the field in the playoffs not having played football for 3 weeks.
It’s like we think it’s a computer game.

Nah, if it was a computer game tendinitis wouldn’t matter and there’d be no reason to ever sit any dinged up player.

Duh.

Bits of both. Good coverage, good rush. At least one sack was just DL flat out beating OL.

I was going to say when I saw that. We had alot of good games the offensively the beggining of the year before TB's elbow started bothering him

this would be such a huge mistake. They need to atleast play a half.

I feel like there is atleast one team that does this every year and they always get off to a slow start.

How about a little love for Folk? 3/3 including a 51 yarder. Important kicks too, in December.

First its going to likely be a must win game so rest isn’t an option. But in the event that kc loses and bmore wins you are on the money. preparing like a normal week, competing and coming out early is fine. Treating the week like a joke always backfires

The 2 OPI calls for sure kept them in it. I don't blame burkhead...it was a great defensive play, although I agree with the guys in the game thread saying they saw it coming. I was screaming at the TV but I can't explain why. Very good showing by the Pats. This team is heading in the right direction and may have enough to close the deal.

This is funny.

Tennis elbow is a sneaky ailment. It can turn on a dime, and they don't know how to predict severity or healing time. Brady could wake up tomorrow unable to pick up a football. Giving him three weeks of rest might be the most important thing at this point in the season, despite the loss in momentum the offense might suffer.

It might actually be better for the Ravens to win and throw out any chance of #1 seed.' We can't know right now. Even Brady doesn't know. We fans certainly don't.

Go Bears!

I forget the exact details but we had two defensive TDs and other short fields that game, and the Bills D is obviously light years ahead of the Dolphins, so overall it’s not out of bounds to say the offense was better today.

9 minute 17 play drive is how we win this year.

In the perfect world where TFB decides to just play for the Pats for free until they say okay pal that's it I'm cutting you off, this off-season his model wife suddenly needs the HGH under-eye stuff that Peyton Manning's wife used... then Tom comes back, N'Keal Harry turns out to be a better Harry than Stiles, Prince, or Deborah, or all 3 of them combined, and TFB goes out on top with his eighth ring after resetting the TD record to 60 at age 43.

Other things could happen too... :/

What's with Slater in the goal line plays?

Ability to sustain such drives is a winning recipe most any season. Good to see it now.

given the first highlighted fact, how does the second highlighted opinion follow? Not much at stake really, other than ego.

New England and Buffalo were both playing to win. My point is from a fan perspective, you get a chance to watch your team in playoff mode (or very close to that) despite it not likely to make a major difference for Buffalo (win or lose, they’re almost certain to be the 5 seed regardless), and your team won’t be eliminated with a loss. So why bail on watching what should be a highly entertaining game that costs you nothing with a loss.

Total Folk hero.

Forget "Adam and Leave." Now it's "Tie game, Folk it."

The crowd was great tonight! Also saw very few Bills fans in attendance.

Exciting game. Great win over the Bills at home. Crazy that we can say that this season. Happy to see Harry more involved. Really bummed about Sanu. I was still optimistic but watching him not give the extra effort to get the 1st down or block on the next play makes me sad. Eagles beat this Bills team by running and Josh used the same plan. I was surprised it took so long to finally wear them down though. Tough team. I'm not sure I want to see Chung covering a tight end ever again. He always seems to get burned now. Maybe time for his heir to get more playing time. How does Tom go from being hurt and looking like absolute crap to this? Did he get some stem cell treatment? Needle in the arm? Extra Avocado toast? I thought the team was cooked after JE left the field. Shocked that he came back. What an impact he has! Even hurt.
