From NFL.com Buffalo's offensive line struggles are a concern. Josh Allen was pressured a season-high 14 times by a middling pass rush on Sunday and had his second-shortest average time to throw of the season (2.78 seconds), per Next Gen Stats.

The crazy thing about the Belichick is he pulls out a new wrinkle that you don't expect. I fully expect him to use White as his featured back. Instead we are likely to see Burkhead or Harris or something even crazier like J.J. Taylor.

This is the one seared into my brain: Scoring Summary FIRST QUARTER NE BUF TD 12:19 Laurence Maroney rush for a 6 yard Touchdown. 2 plays, 13 yards, 0:34 6 0 XP 12:17 Extra Point 2 plays, 13 yards, 0:34 7 0 TD 8:12 Tom Brady pass complete to Randy Moss for a 43 yard Touchdown. 6 plays, 63 yards, 2:17 13 0 XP 8:04 Extra Point 6 plays, 63 yards, 2:17 14 0 TD 3:46 J.P.

1. The quick passes to Beasley to get him to the edge. 2. As someone said upthread, more kicks for the rook. Loved him talking smack to JETS sideline. 3. No punts 4. Six sacks 5. 1 INT that led to late 1st half points 6. A very good kick return 7. A drive to start the 3rd. Like they said, "enough of this.." 8. No obvious injuries on a field that sure had the 9ers spooked 9. A division win 10. 4 yards total offense for the J*E*T*S, JETS! JETS! JETS! in the second half 11. And a bonus... Getting to watch the smack down of the Patriots afterwards.

Oh yeah, we are going to see a steady diet of small backs running at the Bills. Screens to backs out of the backfield. Check downs to backs in the flats. And Newton designed runs. The only way to stop it is to put them into a big hole early.

To suppress the urge to choke players as they leave the field.

I don't remember any Bills get hurting yesterday. Am I misremembering? Meanwhile Thuney went down for the Pats. Another big hit on their O-line. And I think I heard in the game that N'Keal Harry was out for concussion evaluation.

Or the legendary Bears or Ravens defenses...

I remember the Ravens winning a SB with Trent Dilfer.

He's never had an offense that could.

<nonsense deleted> Edit: Never mind. I have clearly lost mind mind.

An O-for October is the very definition of no fun. 🙂

The Dallas - No Name Football Team score was absolutely shocking yesterday. That division might be the most entertaining in all of the NFL.. No one wants the title.

A very un-patriot-like number. It's almost dear I say, unpatriotic? That's the real reason Brady left, the CB1 was making more coin than the QB1. 🙂

COVID has hit the Patriots harder than any team. Sure the Titans got hit hard, but the schedule gods gave them breaks and rest. NE lost quality defensive players to opt outs and free agency. Their starting QB1 and CB1 were lost for games and have had their schedule totally f'd with. And then on top of that, they are working with a revolving OLINE, a banged up and aging WR1 and a bust for their other WR picks. And I could not be happier... 🙂 I still remember that Randy Moss/Tom Brady game in Buffalo!!!! I shall never mourn for this team. Never. I believe we are watching the changing of the guard.

The OLINE has been a bit porous these last few games.. I've seen DLINE running wild in the Bills backfield these last three games.

Tough loss. That's shaping up to be an interesting division.

Please Brandon, find someone out there that can stop the run.

I don't think so. Unless he is harboring an injury we don't know about. SF had the better scheme and players on Sunday. I fully expect a spirited effort this week from the Patriots. To quote Barry Switzer, yes that Barry Switzer when he was the coach of Oklahoma preparing to play Nebraska, "we will just have to out-athlete them".

Maybe this week the Bills get back Feliciano and Smoke??? That would help.

Anything, and I mean anything, that dismantles the Patriots, I'm all for. Send him to TB or KC. They seem to be able to sign anyone they want. 🙂 I grew up hating the Dolphins. I want to go back to that for the next decade or so.

I tell people I was born into it. You don’t pick being a Bills fan, it’s a birthmark. Comes right on your birth certificate.

The call in the game that had me scratching my head was the 3rd and 2 late in the game. A 1st down there and it's victory formation.. Allen in shotgun with Moss. Fakes a handoff to Moss and then a delayed run by Allen into the Jet's Dline. No gain. FG kicked for an 18-10 lead. Why lineup so deep if you intended a QB run? Even a handoff to Moss would have succeeded as it "appeared" he was running free off tackle. Can't remember too many games where a QB has 300 yards passing and no TDs. I think they said on the telecast yesterday that this was the first NFL game won this year by a team not scoring a TD.

Yep. Watching the game, SF through quick almost lateral passes to the wings. That softened up the middle allowing them to do whatever they wanted. Buffalo did a lot of that yesterday too with Beasley..

If Belichick was the evil genius we all ascribe to him, he would lose both games to the Jets and pick Lawrence. Need to write this year off. Hopefully. If he starts Stidham or Hoyer in Buffalo, we will know. Beating the Patriots in Buffalo just might jump start the Patriots tank.
