Game Day Thread Official Post Game Thread - #1 Seed Pats beat the Bills

[PScottman]

"Godchaux stood up and kicked you in the balls last night"

Can someone buy an actual horse to run in the Kentucky Derby with this name next year? Please?

Thinking about it, giving a re-watch...game balls to Jakob Johnson (how far has he come!) and Godchaux.

This was a great segment from Good Morning Football on how demoralized the Bills have to be after this loss to the Pats.

Really good segment.

one thing I love is that everyone has no doubt that the Patriots thoroughly dominated the Bills and handed them a crushing defeat, and the margin was four points for most of the game. Four points!

Godchaux and Van Noy both played great last night...some love:

True...Expecially Godchaux...his best game as a Patriot imho

 

[Ollie]

He re-entered the game. If the injury was more severe he would not have.

i think the fact that he was allowed to re-enter the game and lasted one play before pulling up shows their initial assessment wasn't correct. Once he left the game the second time he didn't re-enter it again. It looked like a hamstring which can have quite varied time frames based on degree of the tear. I think it's way too ealry to make any conclusions yet.

 

[PScottman]

And I can't wait to see them light up the passing game in the dome in 2 weeks!

There's a lot of hoping that there will be a sustained high pass attempt trend with the Patriots.

Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things as Red might say, but it's still in the end, just a wish. There's still not a lot of indicators that as a going in gameplan the Patriots will run a high pass attempt offense unless either the opposing team is rated terribly against said pass or they're down big on the scoreboard in the game itself - and EVEN then given the #1 rule (no turnovers) the odds still point toward a more balanced approach.

Locker room!
"That's why we practice in this sht!" lol


Gotta love Slater Preach!

Reminds me of the BB line when someone said players don't like playing for him, his answer was they like winnning.

Then why did McDermott try a field goal in the same direction?

Because he's ... I'm trying to think of a nicer way to say "idiot".\

We missed that kick too, in case you forgot.

Not another word for idiot, but I call him the best Bills coach since Levy.

Maybe that is another term for idiot in a convoluted sort of way.

nope...we NEVER forget big Barfalo missed kicks, GreenCoward...

He's a good coach, and a good man from what i've heard, but he makes boneheaded decisions sometimes.

Were all human I guess.

TL;DR: McDermott talks too much.

I think the Bills should have tried to answer with 2 themselves on their TD.

The reason that Bill did it didn't matter but the result was it changed the complexion of the game and forced the Bills to need an extra score to catch up.

Oh yeah for sure.

Phillips was good too - and obviously a great DC as well. His only mistake was picking Rob Johnson if he had anything to do with that.

Meh. He was standing next to Matt Slater in the locker room and spoke to the media. My view is if he was severely racked up he would have been hidden.

I think the gameplan was just pure hubris from Bill B. I think they planned to throw but once we were gashing then on the ground in 9-10 man boxes bill just said watch this. And I don't think he respects Josh Allen against our defense.

BUT that being said, I don't get why we couldn't throw more screen passes or short passes.

I just think Bills mentality is "well we beat the Titans with Max throwing 300 yards and all over the field now we gonna beat the bills with just running the ball"

Pats are truly back. Can beat you a million ways

I'm not sure I'd call it hubris but I otherwise agree. Why not stick with what is working in a given situation? The wind was crazy, it was likely to be low scoring, ergo run the ball. If running the ball is working then stick with running the ball. Ultimately the Patriots are leading deeper into the game, the D is keeping them out of the end zone, why not keep running the ball? We are all used to, understandably, seeing runs and passes mixed in. Further, seeing the opposing team stacked so obviously against the run, pass!!! So it definitely was Bill's steel football stubbornness that it remained run run run. It was also his laser focus on 'this is this game, this isn't other games, this is this game and we win this game as it can be won'.

Last night was ripe for turnovers to give this game away. Patriots kept the turnover risk to a minimum. OTOH the Bills' passing was fortunate there were several INTs. Outside of a tough turnover by Harry, a fumble that was quickly covered, and an absurd UC penalty, Patriots played this crazy game just as they should have, mistake free, not changing from running unless needed.

At long last, the Buffalo Reign of Terror is over. Long live the Hoodie!

TL;DR: McDermott talks too much.

i guess mcdermott doesn’t realize the more he tries to deny being outcoached, which he was by a mile, and trying to blame the execution the more he is throwing his players under the bus. In all tough losses ive seen , even when it isnt true and we just executed poor, bb ALWAYS makes a point to mention we have to coach better. Just another little aspect that separates bb from everyone else
