Is anyone still worried about the Bills?

[StanleyGrogan]

Pats whooped that ass on Monday night. Gotta love when you do that and make the other team's fans watch and like it.

And then spend the next week on an opposing teams forum giving in depth analysis on how unfair it all is.

Outside of the long TD run, the Pats averaged 3.5 ypc.

Outside of that TD pass setup by a fluke play, the Bills averaged 0.0 touchdowns per game.

Why is anyone taking this "5 drops" claim seriously. Dropped passes are tracked by NFL stats, I'm not seeing 5.
If its a fact, where's the link? Some homer fan making a claim doesn't fly.

Take away the kneel downs by Mac and starts to go back up, 222 yards and a 64 yd td happened

Outside of a football grazing a guy's helmet and one of the worst roughing calls I have ever seen the Bills scored 0.

Shutting out the Bills in their own house... nice!

 

[cmasspatsfan]

which is EXACTLY what they wanted

you realize in a game like that, 3 runs and a punt, especially with the lead, is a good thing

3.5 x 3 = 10.5 yards, first down, I think we had a few on the ground

i think folks were just humoring him out of sympathy

poor guy counts passes defended as 'drops', when he's trying desperately to make a point




bottom line is, THIS is why the Pats won, and the Bills lost

agreed

but under those conditions, even if you just run 3, don't get the first, and punt......it's a win under those conditions, especially playing into the wind

This guy actually thinks a QB scramble on a broken designed pass play should be considered part of a team's running game. Yikes.

harris' last play was a 22 yarder i believe that with two hammies would have ALSO gone to the house.......when you do not disguise the run, at all, and are playing against an overloaded box, you're going to have some TFL......but they also had a ton of chunk plays......that drive to kill the 3rd and take them into the 4th, even though it resulted in just a FG, was a thing of beauty

 

[stephens44]

The NFL team with the worst late season weather in the league, can't run the ball and struggles to stop it against run heavy teams.
Now who's fault is that.

 

[Keep Up With The Joneses]

If they're smart.

Judging by the intelligence of the Bills as evidenced in this game, I'm not too worried about the Pats' coaching staff being smarter the next time around.

well Bill Belichick's, of course......Bill Polian is lobbying Goodell to take a draft pick away as a result

Too bad for you that you can't just remove plays to support a narrative. They still count.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

If Diggs had caught the TD pass, the Patriots would have opened up the offense more. That’s why these things are nonsense. When they play again, it will be a completely different game.

 

[50-yard-line]

Because the ball deflected. Each frame after it hits his wrist, the ball will move further away.

You showed a frame and claimed it had hit his wrist, but the angle might have made it look like that even if it didn't I don't know or care where it hit him - the ball was moving differently than muscle memory and experience would dictate (kind of why the Pats didn't throw - I knw you think it's because "they didn't trust Mac's arm," well, maybe the Bills should have trusted Allen's arm at that depth, eh? Because it's not about the arm.

I watched Folk kick in that direction - ball broke 15 feet.

Like I said earlier, if you've ever tried to catch or hit a knuckleball, you'd know how difficult it is. Very few major league catchers can handle a knuckle-baller.

A football in a wind like that will move in ways it shouldn't. As soon as a throw's momentum gets under a certain critical point, varying with wind gusts, there's little that can be done.

Josh was spot on 10-yards or so - sometimes. He threw a back-shoulder to Diggs near the goal line that swept outside and uncatchably out-of-bounds. You can't blame drops in wind like that on a receiver, whose margin of error is tiny, any more than you can blame errant passers on the QB if they're moved by the wind.

You're trying to have it both ways and that's just silly.

GreenLolcow is truly a fan built in the image of the 2021 Bills. I'll at least say that.

 

[Hyped]

I am still worried about the Bills.

Remember the 2010 season? We beat the Jets in December at home by something like 40+ points (45-3, IIRC)...and they came back in a few weeks to spoil a Brady MVP season at home on divisional weekend.....

Remember, the Bills finish with: @TB, CAR, @NE, ATL, and NYJ.... anyone can see them going 3-2 at MINIMUM for a 10-7 record AT WORST.

We finish with: @Indy, BUF, JAX, and @Mia. I am only confident that we SHOULD beat the Jags at home...which makes us 10-4 pending the outcome of the other 3 games. If we drop both @IND and the BUF games...we would be 10-6 going into Miami for a must-win week 18 game.

One game at a time....we're onto stopping Jonathan Taylor at all costs...

 

[BUSTAMOVE]

 

[Calhoun44]

Same mistake in multiple games.

Dropped passes against NE, Jax, and Tennessee.

I said 12-1 because Indi just flat out beat us.

You've only played 12 games
