The official Patriots vs Bills game thread

[Brady_to_Moss]

brady needs to get another TD here to keep any hope alive

 

[PatriotReign]

Finally I can exhale. Sad when you fear a third and eighteen will be converted.

 

[PatsWSB47]

lets close the gap guys

 

[kudzif]

I don't know why, but I'm really nervous at 3rd and 18.

because you should

 

[cmasspatsfan]

Thank god, hopefully momentum has turned. Maybe BB should quit defering the opening Ko.

I was thinking the same thing, score first to take pressure of your D.

 

[Wax Frog]

You are a seer my friend!

More likely someone skilled at seeing patterns

 

[Patriots2001]

Cheer up guys. The Pats are still going to the playoffs and have a first round bye. This defense is a work in progress.

They should be peaking by now instead they are getting worse IMO...

 

[NEPatriot]

A TD puts us back in this game. Just don't force a throw.

 

[Rob0729]

The thing is that if the Bills weren't playing like they have nothing to lose, it would probably be 7-7 right now. The Pats have stopped the Bills on every third down.

i try....

lets go for 2/2

we score a TD this drive

 

[Wax Frog]

Dare I hope for less than a 2-score deficit at the half?

 

[PatsFaninAZ]

Nobody scores on us every drive!

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Thank god, hopefully momentum has turned. Maybe BB should quit defering the opening Ko.

How will going 3 and out from our own 20 to start the game change anything?
We start slow on BOTH ends.
Might as well take the ball at half, and if you time it correctly you get an extra possession by deferring.

 

[DefenseRules]

I watched a lot of College Bowl games yesterday. I would take any of those defenses over this 2011 defense. Those guys made play after play. It's a miracle when we see these guys make a game changing play.

Man! This "D" scares the hell out of you...

 

[Hardboiled]

Can we skip the 1st quarter in the playoffs?

 

[Deus Irae]

let's be honest though..this is one of the worst 12-3 teams we have seen...D wise as well as the O starting slow

I think the Patriots are grateful beneficiaries of an AFC in decline and an AFCE that's not very good.

That being said, this offense is excellent even though it needs a WR. Brady is just that good....

The thing is that if the Bills weren't playing like they have nothing to lose, it would probably be 7-7 right now. The Pats have stopped the Bills on every third down.

My guess: Mr. Gailey feels (correctly or not) that his job might be on the line today.
