The Official Patriots vs Bills Game Thread

[Silver Blue&Red]

Gregory again. Cut that scrub.

Yes. Gregory, it seems blows that same coverage all the time, leaving talib hanging. cant believe he's still here

 

[Gronkowski123]

reminds me of the 06 offense. with gaffney and gabriel/calwell.


at least we're winning. gotta play a lot better in 2nd half!

 

[manxman2601]

Dudfeld!!

Denver is looking for bandwagon fans!

You gonna quote everything you don't like and call peeps bandwagoners or trolls?

Cause the patriots haven't earnt anyhing today that makes the negativity unacceptable.

 

[Observer]

Pretty much every concern we've had has come to fruition to this point, yet the team's still in the lead. It's been ugly, but the Patriots still lead.

We will win too, but we are only playing the Bills. This is concerning.

I expected a close game.

Still a little disconcerting to see what's going on with the offense though. Ridley's fumble completely changed this game....

 

[JoeShmoe]

If the Bills start the first half hot i fear for this game

Rookies looking overawed so far, although Thompkins has been ok

 

[Rossmci90]

Let's not overreact too much.

They've moved the ball well enough, and the Bills have only been able to score because of mistakes.

A nice healthy dose of Vereen with some Thompkins mixed in and the second half will be fine.

 

[Archeryaddict12]

Bb, Tom time to take command of halftime and get these guys heads on straight. Amendola needs to come back. We had to expect some rookie mistakes.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

Rookies make mistakes. Who knew?

On the bright side, 1 game does not a trend make (see: GRONK v. Cleveland and Pittsburgh, 2010).

 

[RayClay]

Obviously Talib was expecting a safety to cover him. We'll never know whose fault it was.

Check the tape for those two patriots bunched up in the middle of the endzone and you might have a clue (Someone said Gregory, who has made some good plays otherwise).

Pretty obvious to me that was a blown coverage on the team.

 

[RobAllan]

I don't like our chances on the year as a whole if we can't beat the Bills. That said:

1. We've got a long history of making rookie QBs look like Montana. That Flynn guy over in Oakland still remembers us, for example.

2. It is only week 1. We're probably a better team at Week 7.

I'm willing to not panic and I do still hope we can win this game. Division games are always tough.

 

[Zeus]

Not unusal for opening day - very sloppy football for both teams.

 

[Betterthanmost]

Fumble is on Ridley, but Brady is also throwing some unnecessary hard throws to his receivers. The chemistry is no there and he does not have trust.
Almost 2 to 1 ratio of TOP and the score is just too close for comfort.
But a good teaching moment to the rookies again. This game is really a continuation of the Lions game.

 

[TyronePoole]

I just disappointed in our pass rush.

this is a team who relies on cj spiller. If anything on defense is your disappointment today you're doing it wrong imo.

On a separate note, Sudfeld's lack of blocking is hurting his ability to get in the game as a receiving threat.

 

[PatsBoy12]

Not the best first half, but we'll take it.

 

[SVN]

Injury update for Patriots: WR Danny Amendola (groin). Return is questionable.

 

[PATSNUTme]

There really is a turf monster.

 

[DefenseRules]

Denver is looking for bandwagon fans!

I am no bandwagon fan. I don't like what I see and I'm going to say whatever the hell I want.

 

[bostonia3333]

This to be the worst WR corps in the NFL. Kraft should have made an attractive offer to Arizona for Larry Fitz eons ago. Brady would have 5-6 rings by now, instead he'll be stuck on 3 and always 2nd to Montana
