Unfortunately, I think that this game might have been over the second Hyde did not run that fumble back for a TD.

If he makes any effort to cut inside, even 1 step, its a TD or PI call

OMG what a stupid call!! Daboll is an idiot

Alexander just did a great bit of cheating to get that INT and for once the refs aren't throwing an obvious flag for NE.

Absolutely pathetic pass by Allen into double coverage.

This looks like another McD special blowout performance. It looks like the Bills gave up before they got on the plane and McD and his elite coaching team decided on no specific game plan for Brady and co. Bellichick must just love these games.

Wow once again the Bills just lay down for big scary NE.

For only the 2nd time in 40 years of watching football, I see the Bills Sts achieve an illegal block in the back when THEY ARE KICKING!!! The first time was also the Bills this year. WTF

Ok this game means nothing, but I am seriously annoyed about how the Bills are playing and how the coaches have approached things so far. The Bills are playing nervous, intimidated wimpy football. The Coaching/play calling has been ridiculously cautious. Trotting out Hauschka (or even playing him now if he is hurt, which he seems he is) is seriously stupid. Go for it on fourth down. They should be playing this game "balls out" not turtling!!

That's true but a lot of the Canadiens success came when the NHL was a smaller league. After expansion and esp after the WHA teams joined in 1979, the Canadiens have only won 2 Stanley cups in 40 years. Hell the Canadiens used to enjoy the first dibs exclusive rights to French Canadian players before the other teams in the league had a shot. There really is no other team in any sport that has had the sustained success of the Pats. Its crazy!!

I don't begrudge the Pats some of their success, Great QB and coach deserve success. However its the longevity that pisses me off. 17 seasons of success?!! No other team in any sport have had that kind of domination for that long!

Overall the positives of this season were, Allen, Edmunds, Foster, the win vs Minni and the Jags, Barkleys demo of the Jets but that's about it. The negatives unfortunately overwhelmed the positives. More blowout losses, the complete stupidity of the Peterman era, bad acquisition of McCarron and the even worse embarrassing acquisition of Anderson, Shady sliding into obscurity, a horrible offensive line, the complete waste of time of KB and clay, really weak special teams and a defense that although pretty good, forgot how to take the ball away from other team. The really painful part is that we lost at least 4 easy win games to Houston, Jets, Fins and Colts, we also lost to a weak GB team and a mediocre Ravens team. Like others have said on here some of the personnel moves by Beane really make me question his intelligence going forward. We should still be in the hunt for a playoff spot and the one factor that is common to many of the negatives is dumb moves or a lack of good move from Beane. Definitely a wasted season.

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!!!
