Pats fans acting like 14 points was some master class on offense are pretty hilarious. Bills win that game as coached 8 out of 10 times. Hell, officiate the 4th and 1 correctly and the Bills have a very good chance to win.

LOL

Do you actually think the New England playbook is to run the ball 46x and throw it 3x per game? This game was a one off because of the weather. Did you see Allen’s throws, he was lucky to connect with 15 of them. Buffalo got out coached and out witted.

Do you think the Bills playbook was to barely throw and when they do just do it for less than 10 yards?

The wind affected the Bills playbook much more than the Pats. Yes the Pats would probably throw it more, but who is throwing it? Mac Jones, the same Mac Jones that the best NFL coach ever didn’t trust to throw more than 3 times today.

Yes. This game was a one off and probably won’t happen again. But the one off favored the Pats so much, the Pats should have beat the Bills like the Colts did.

The Pats didn’t. With the Bills so severely restricted in a climate that so heavily favored the Pats, the Pats should have won by a lot more.

It's ny first year following football. Bills fan. What are the chances they go to the super bowl?

7-5 doesn't seem like a great record but in the NHL, pretty much any team in the playoffs has a chance. But the NBA? Only like 3-4 teams have a chance most years. How does the NFL compare to that?

Get rid of the Bills TD pass and Allen would be one of the worst ranked QBs in the league based on this game; a candidate to be benched. That's obviously a stupid deduction and it makes as much sense than the nonsense you wrote.

He has more than 19 yards passing in a game.

Yes you should dump outliers in stats to see how averages work.

LOL you are still working in hypotheticals. It goes down in the record books as given up 4.8 yards per rush. They just flashed a stat that Buffalo has given 5.3 yards per carry the last two games. That’s not a good trend.

Not disagreeing but that early fumble HURT. Much like that punt turnover. There shouldn't be a whole lot of chest thumping,BB played it properly, while Buffalo screwed up in the red zone with penaltys.

I don't like the assumptions made about if it was good weather. As far as I see it, the Pats have a significant advantage in the rematch because they didn't show any of their passing game. They stole this one and probably didn't deserve it, but it absolutely sets them up well for week 16.

The Bills got pushed around for the second time in three weeks. im not really sure what they can do. Though the Colts in 2006 went through a similar stretch where the Titans, Jaguars, and Texans just killed them on the ground.

New England didn't do shit on 7 out of 10 possessions. The Bills defense essentially had one bad play and one bad possession. I hope the Pats try to win with 14 points in week 16 too.

If you take out the two end of half drives, the Pats gained 18 yards on those 5 other possessions with 1 first down. 4 3 and outs, and they gave back the first down yardage on the 5th. They were extremely fortunate to both hang on and to get what they did.

220 yards is not inept. There was also zero threat to pass which should make those numbers stand out even more
more like the attempts were so high that having a low rushing yardage total would be horrible when you only throw 3 freaking times of course you can amass rushing yards and 1/4th of it was on 1 play.

Billy’s gonna love these news clippings.

He's absolutely correct. Running 35 seconds off inside of 2 minutes on 1st and 10 then 25 seconds on 2nd and 8 is football malpractice. Even if you don't want to throw. This should have been more comfortable for the Pats with how the game started. BB is a big part of the reason the Bills should have taken it away.

They didnt have to much though with how well they are defensively along with the weather. The Bills knew what was coming and couldnt get off the field. It could be that the Patriots are just a bad matchup for them as as are the Colts, as they are both very physical teams. Though I think it should be concerning that they allowed 220 yards rushing and the other team threw 3 times and won the game. That never happens. Belichick played this perfectly.

Yeah Bills largely beat themselves but he’s been known to bathe in negative news clippings.

New England didn’t do shit except gain more yards and score more points than the Bills…end of the day Pats played better situational football, got the win and that’s all the matters.

You keep going back to “Take out blah blah blah” but the second you start basing your argument on hypotheticals you’ve lost…

And yet they kept giving the ball back to the Bills in a one score game. Not ideal. The Bills actually were the team with the ball for almost the entire 4th quarter. Bills make the FG's their kicker said he was comfortable with pregame, they win.

I didn't say to take out shit. They had 2-3 good possessions. If the Bills executed simple plays and calls went the correct way, the Bills win that game. The Bills were actually the team with better field position throughout the game, even if you take out the Harry muff.

You are assuming that if he made that field that New England plays it the same way, it doesnt work that way and the butterfly effect happens. This is a brutal loss for the Bills. Call it luck if you want, they shouldnt be losing to a team that only threw it 3 times.

Why would you think nE would open it up up 14-13 when they literally ran the clock out on the first half with the wind with 1st and 10 at the 42? Jones wasn't dropping back to throw anything other than a screen.

It was literally a one score game the whole way.

And trust me, I'm very perturbed with Daboll's playcalling and Allen's 4th quarter play in close games. That's 0 points in q4 in one score losses to JAX, TEN, and now NE. It's troubling
