Nice grasp on the situation.

The coaching staff is deficient. They've proven it over the past few years. It was a large part of losing, but there were other things that led to the loss as well, like every time Trent audibled, it went from a pass to a run.

If only Jauron had pointed out all the holding the Patriots' O-line did, and made that a "point of emphasis." Yeah, okay.

The Chefs probably won't be willing to deal with/help out the Bills, because of Pioli.

It was dumb. Common sense dumb, football dumb. It was McKelvin coming-up small in a big situation.

I love him too, but fighting for the extra yards on that kick return, which allowed him to get stripped, was dumb. Really dumb.

Yep, even 5 yards deep in the endzone. The object was to get rid of the 2 minute warning as a TO (outside of the change of possession), and then get a first down. But true, a "protect the ball at all costs" should have been issued. Although you think he'd know something like that.

Another thing I forgot to mention is coaching and how the Patriots have good coaching and the Bills don't, which I think is obvious. Monday night was exhibit Z (to go along with exhibits A-Y from the past 3 years) as to why this coaching staff will NEVER win a SB, and even winning a playoff game, should they get the team there, is highly questionable. McKelvin should have been told "return the kick no matter what, take 6 seconds off from the clock, and get down."

When the Bills got decent pressure on Brady, he folded like a cheap suit. When they didn't, like the last 2 drives, he tore through them. The guy has had great blocking, defense, and ST's for most of his career. Now the chinks in the armor are starting to show in all three areas. The Bills LOST this game. As they often-times do.

Mitchell better watch out. He might just have a "sit down" with Sir Roger coming up.

What makes you think it was a Bills fan who did it?

True but no Richard Seymour is a big loss for them/help for everyone else. He was a beast for the Raiders last night.

I was wondering why he didn't figure more into the passing game. Even with his rawness.

For a guy with back and depression issues? No way. Then again, there is always the Raiders...

I thought Nelson was far better than a "JAG" last night, and while he had some bad plays, he's still a rookie with a lot of potential. I'd agree with starting him.

They'd be lucky to get a box of tape in trade for Andrews. He'll have to be cut.

What did you think of Schouman?

What good LB do you just go out and get at this point of the season? And I'd put Mitchell at MLB and start Harris or Palmer at Mitchell's spot.

No, it was also an inside move. Bell needs to work on that, as well as lining up on the LOS.

Wow, missed the part about Shawn Andrews being put on IR. I'm surprised that Runyan hasn't signed with the Eagles yet. Must be looking for $10M/year.

The O-line is young and talented. They should be really good after about a month, and for years to come.

If the crowd is fired-up, as they should be, it will help disrupt the Saints' offense. The problem is with whom do they replace Poz?

On the road, Brees struggles more. And they also don't have a very good defense.

Yes Scott, I'm back. I'm having trouble staying logged-in, though.

The Patriots have NO shot at the SB this year. I'd even go so far as to predict a first round playoff loss, if they get into them.
