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

[Triumph]

Watching the game, I did not like much about it.

1 The lack of passing by NE.

2 The Bills scoring before the half. Making the score 21 - 7. The Pats scored 3 points last resulting in a 24 - 7 half score which seems like a comfortable NE lead, but it isn't is it?

ATL 28 - 3 NE ? ... NE 24 - 7 BUFF

3 The Bills getting the ball to start the 2nd half and of course they score 24 - 14. Scoring on the first drive brought the deficit down to 10 points with the majority of the final 30 minutes available.

4 The PATS scored too quickly on some drives. Henderson's 65 yard TD run didn't use 15 seconds putting a tired NE defense right back on the field. Bills score their final TD and the game winner on this drive.

5 It seemed like every time that the Pats were behind it was by 4 points.

curran is suggesting vrabel is not happy with josh's playcalling?

This would be a revolting development. I wish you had not posted this so I could be oblivious to the crap spewed out. I lost all respect for Curran over the last two years and generally change the channel when he appears.

Our Pass catchers except for Barefoot a few times were anemic. Diggs - Henry and Boutte: also A Hooper is becoming useless. That said: Maye was off for most of that Half. Still we had the football with a chance to win.

I wonder if Henry's trying to play through something, he hasn't been quite right the last couple of weeks.

H Henry was good in the Giants game had a 40 yarder called back: that was coming off 115yds against the Bengals. Henry have been playing very good up to last game *he had a couple of drops.* I expect him to bounce back: that said I would like us to get a legit Young TE in the upcoming Draft.

He should never see regulars snaps on defense. He's too weak.

Hollins caught 50% of his targets which is bad. His first reception was a Manute Bol special.

Diggs caught 75% of his 4 targets, but was pretty much taken out of the game.

Boutte had 1 target and 1 reception.

Pop had 0 targets.

He's another special teamer like Christian Elliss, shouldn't ever be on the field on a pro defense unless it's an emergency.

Here's the snap count for our defense - Patriots vs. Bills snap counts: Robert Spillane’s absence spelled doom

Gibbens played 100% of the snap. Ellis played 86%. These are Vrabel 'guys'. I understand being loyal, but there has to be a point where your loyalty might be hurting the team. Tavai, who is much stronger at the point of attack than these two, only played 21%.

I don't think they even had 50 offensive snaps as a team.

I just listened to this, and I can't believe what I just hear from Curran.

With a virtually REVAMPED team the Pats are a top 10 scoring team in the league. He has developed our QB from a decent rookie into an MVP candidate, and OBTW, had an offense that scored 31 points without the benefit of a TO in the game everyone seems to have a hardon about.

THIS is the guy you are creating an issue about, TOM? Well now there is ANOTHER mediot I don't have to listen to anymore.

This is the idiocy of the media circus that exists now.

Some dude who gets air time and has nothing to contribute said “hey Vrabel was asked about McDaniels and gave all the offensive cus he’s credit for doing a good job. I wonder if he hates Josh”.
So they speculate on that. Then they bring Curran in and ask him if we can be 100% certain and Curran’s answer is who knows because if he thought it he wouldn’t be saying it.

So there you have it. Make something up and prove it by saying if it was true they wouldn’t admit it.

 

[Vindicate]

It's unreal how much I hate McDermott.

Cruel lineup: McDermott then Harbaugh. Two of the most insufferable ****faces in the league. God I really do hate both of them. Would've been glorious to hand both of them their retirement papers.

his is the new WEEI story. God forbid we were 7-7 as a lot of people expected in the beginning of the season.

True, but Man Blitz opens you up to him running if he gets out of it.
