I'd just about give my left nut to be up there, freezing my butt off in that Stadium for this game.

Well then, I suggest you take precious care of your right one.

We also know that Josh talks about getting too jacked up and perhaps he is at home games and calmer on the road. 

Bourbon, it cures what ails 'ya.

Today was my son’s first home Bills game.  My son is 6 and we live on n Atlanta.  He’s never experienced anything like the weather we had today….especially sitting in it for multiple hours....

I hope you don't mind - I shared this story on the Boston Bills Backers' Facebook page, where you are getting likes and hearts like crazy. It's a wonderful story that provides we displaced western NYers a taste of home. 

[Of these three teams, which one do you hope to play on WC weekend?]

While we split with them in December, I believe the Bills thoroughly showed themselves to be a superior football team and would take care of the Patriots in the playoffs with minimal challenge.

And so am I.....  As said water under the bridge and just was interesting seeing Kyler Murray's collegiate #'s vs. Josh's and how different the two coaches approached it. 

 

And maybe they win the Houston game as he is more relaxed and prepared.  

 

 

And, if frogs had wings, they wouldn't have to whomp their @$$ every time the jump.

I know I was very vocal that I thought McD and the Bills really brought him along too slow and what we saw in 2020, we could have seen more of in 2018 & 2019.

 

Look it is water under the bridge, but seems every time it's discussed there is always a debate and those backing the Bills (and McD's decisions) will always go on about how raw Allen was.

 

I was looking up Kyler Murray in another thread talking about Allen's 20 Rushing/100 Passing TDs in the first 4 seasons and Kyler Murray may duplicate it next year.  

 

Then looked at Murray's College stats, vs. Josh's and was so surprised how little Murray played in college and very similar totals.

And there was no question Kyler was the QB and given free reigns from day 1.

 

Again just something I found interesting......  Flame away.

In this case, hindsight is not 20/20

I’m coming to the game from NJ. Wtf is freezing fog???

It is a hellish weather phenomenon only found in Orchard Park. The fog lowers and a moisture descends on everything and everybody. Then it freezes everything in place. A thrown football freezes in midair and just falls to the ground, like a brick…very dangerous. You should stay home.

Both games were close.  I was disappointed in how ineffective the Pats D was in stopping the Bills O. Just a couple of stops and it’s a totally different ball game.. lol (before anyone gets their undies twisted I am not saying they should or could have just that I was more disappointed in them than the O. I wasn’t realistically expecting score more than 21_28 points.

I get your point of view. You're a Pats fan, they're your team and that's cool. I view my Bills' world through rose colored glasses also.

 

From my point of view, this game was not close. From the opening series, Buffalo was in total control, total command. NE is fortunate that we didn't hang 45 on them. It simply was not close. Also, going back to Buffalo's Monday Night loss, we walked off the field proving that we were a superior football team to the Patriots. We could have won the game three times in the 4th quarter. NE couldn't prevent it. We lost - they did not win.

 

If we get NE in the playoffs, we will win by 17 or more. Sunday's game was not close.

I was so mad after that game and my wife said to me you have 2 hours.  I said what?  She said you have 2 hours to be mad then you need to get over it.  Its a game and you have no control over the outcome.  I was steaming for those 2 hours lol.

 

My take away from this story is that your wife is a keeper. Sounds like a good woman!

[So....what happened to the O-line?]

*  Apparently, the Pats wanted to their D line to contain more than pressure;

 

*  There were several times that a single rusher broke through the offensive wall - but Josh was able to elude him;

 

*  Josh checked down faster in this game than in some others.

Just another example of how McDermott out-coached BB.

Mac threw the ball about 60 yards when he was picked off by Hyde… his arm strength isn’t an issue.

It was exactly the issue. The ball was under thrown, floating like a ballon and took everything he had. This isn’t the SEC anymore. It’s the NFL.

to me it looks like Sanders is motioning/talking to Matthew Judon who appears to be trying to cry to the goal line official about a pick.

I like your interpretation MUCH better. I’m going with it. 👍

The Bills win two games in a row and they are the hottest team?  The Colts are playing great football, and hell, the Dolphins are about to win their 7th game in a row.  Lay off the homerism a tad.  

Ok, ok, ok…there’s nothing wrong with Bills fans being on a sugar-high right now. Be nice.

Not impressed with Sanders’ reaction here. We score, we win, celebrate. The team, the team, the team.

[The Bills are quietly the hottest team in the NFL]

I love your enthusiasm and am also basking in the afterglow. But no, we’re not….yet.

[Patriots-Bills is the most likely of all possible WC matchups to happen]

Totally down with this. I watched the Monday Night game feeling strongly (although we lost) that we are the better team. Of course, Sunday we emphatically proved it. Let’s thump them again.

It's not unfair to judge a guy who has a dismal career record against playoff teams/teams with winning records during his time in Buffalo, including last year which obviously was an anomaly in hindsight and probably the peak of his tenure here in Buffalo when it's all said and done and he's gone in the next few years.

Lemme see, we will draw conclusions by emphasizing negatives and negating positives. Will will ignore the two 2020 playoff victories and sweep of the Patriots. You be you Filthy. Just don't expect to be taken seriously.

The overall strength of the Bills coaching staff rivals the overall strength of the Pats coaching staff.   As much respect as I have for BB, I don't think being outcoached is a given.  We'll see.

We weren't outreached two weeks ago. We were in repeated positions to win. We just didn't finish.

Diggs drops a td he catches 9 out of 10 times...pats didnt win by just running..Bills lost the game by lack of execution and coaching decisions late

This all day long. No knock on Diggs here. We were gifted the victory three times in the fourth quarter and simply didn't execute. The Patriots did not run all over us. They simply always ran. I believe Sunday will be a reckoning as the (very angry) Bills reestablish their AFC East superiority.
