Big win for the Saints but they have started to look very ordinary in the past few weeks. Does Brees have something wrong with his arm? It doesn't look as powerful as early on in the season. Perhaps this is just realty of being an older QB late in the season. As for Cam Newton, is he the most hated player in the NFL ? I have never seen a player so abused and hit late and dirty so many times. Last night he took several shots including a full on 70s style headslap from one of the Saints linemen after he got rid of the ball.

Thanks Confucius!

This would be a huge statement win for Allen and McD. We have nothing on the line here. It would great to see McD be aggressive and Daboll draw up an ambitious game plan and take risks. And of course damaging the Pats road to the SB would be the icing on the cake. The Pats have lost 2 in a row, the pressure will now be full on them.

The SNF and some of the MNF excluding ours of course, I have been superb this year!

Except it isn't, because the Pats do this far more than any other team and far more frequently than the occasional 4th down play like today. I don't think that its "ridiculous", especially as a Bills fan to be fed up with almost 20 years of this ticky tacky kind of BS play combined with the actual full on cheating they have done.

No they are a perfect example of a douche play. I didn't say that they were cheating or doing anything illegal. They are a great team, why do they need to resort to this smarmy crap?

Brady's ability to understand and read any situation on offense and to act accordingly is probably still his best attribute at QB. His accuracy is still very good but nowhere near what it was even 2 years ago. Whats most amazing to me is that he can still avoid the sacks and get rid of the ball. He looks so awkward out there. He looks almost like an arthritic grandpa sometimes as he tries to shimmy out of the pass rush. Its still ridiculous that he is still playing let alone at that high level. The worse possible luck for Bills fans that he ended up in our division when he was drafted. But the end has to be coming soon. I don't know what he still has to play for.

Full on embarrassing attempt at a tackle. But the slightest bruise on these kickers screws everything up for them. Overall though the Seahawks didn't show up today vs the Niners.

Of course I hate them, As any true Bills fan should. Misdirection and offensive creativity on the field during play has nothing to do with what I was talking about. If Bellichick was the genius coach that he is lauded to be then why the need for all this stuff?

I'm not talking about trick plays at all. I am talking about plays like today where they rush people on and off, make weird substitutions etc. Or what they did with their formations in the playoffs a few years back. There is a lot of pre snap stuff. Just douchey stuff like that. Just play the damn game.

HA HA, Looks good on you Tommy Boy! That great feeling when the Pats lose!!

I think the play in question was legal. But it was a Bellichick douche special. The Pats have regularly run a number of borderline illegal plays over the last few years that are just unsportsmanlike in their spirit but fall into grey areas of the rules. I hate the fact that somehow Bellichick is respected for doing this as if its the sign of a great coach.

OMG a Bills player just made a contested catch!!!

And has been for 2 decades! And has been for 2 decades!

Last Bills drive was pathetically planned.

Golladay looks better than any receiver we have fielded in years!

I think Gregg deserves a shot next year. He has at least got the best out of that team. He still seems the total dbag he was here years ago. I love his new hipster glasses BTW! When he made that time out call just as the Broncos were going offside. I could not help but be reminded of all the humiliating gaffes he had here and all his blowhard bravado about the 2001 Bills "can win the SB"!

Both coaches acted like they were trying to outdo each other with stupid calls to LOSE this game.

Oh thank God, Lets get him back starting asap!! The magic of his performances must return!!

Why they haven't been using him regularly in this role is beyond me. He is very good at short passes and YAC and even has the hands for a medium pass attempt. With all the frustration that the Bills and McCoy have experienced with the run game and the Oline, you think this would have been a no brainer!

The story about 1500 fans showing up to argue on Norwood's behalf is complete BS. By that time Norwood was the scapegoat for not only the wide right SB miss but for his very shaky 1991 season. As others have posted it was the LA Raiders game in December of 1991 that finished Norwood off in the eyes of the Bills management and also the fans. In that game the Bills were in tough against a pretty solid Raiders team. All the hype the commentators were spewing was on the Raiders to win easily but it was the Bills who ended up winning on a Norwood FG right at the end of the game. The problem was that before that kick Norwood appeared to have cracked mentally and completely lost his kicking mojo. He had missed a PAT and 3 FGs. In many ways the game should have been a comfortable Bills win but Norwood's ineptness had kept it close. I can remember watching the game on TV and becoming livid with each Norwood miss. It was a small miracle that he hit the winner at the end! The writing was on the wall though after that game and a few months later he was gone for good.

The brawl was first time I have seen a Bills player (Lawson) stand up and show some fire for his team in a very long time. If you really care, check out my posts on Lawson about it right after the Jags game. I mentioned that it was like a hockey brawl back in the 80s. You clearly missed my point which is that all too often the Bills have no reaction to dirty hits by their opponents. What Lawson did was notable because it was so rare. Its exactly that kind of fire and support that the Bills should be showing regularly throughout the season!

Exactly, The Bills of recent years have been way too wimpy about backing up their own players. Jarvis Landry on Aaron Williams went completely unpunished, then Landry repeats the same dirtiness in the exhibition season this year vs the Bills and once again no retaliation. This whole year opposing players have been taking liberties against Allen and now Huasch and the Bills players either are too dense to notice, too scared or don't care. Hausch may have missed that long FG anyway, but he was sure as hell going to miss it with bruised or broken bone in his back!

LOL, Actually He looks very Robert De Niro esque in the snow pic!

Its a little like Warren Sapp's dirty blind side hit on Clifton of the Packers in 02. But this one is much worse as Anderson outweighs Hausch by about 100lbs!
