    Of course they want to win and of course they tried to win; they just did so with a particular set of parameters in mind.

    There's nothing tin foily about protecting yourself in a meaningless game

     

    Could it be you're protecting yourself....that way, it's easier to deal with the loss....NE is still the better team......it's hard to admit for some....

    None. I don’t want to switch qbs with any team. Allen is developing and he has the ability and mental makeup to be special for a long time. I don’t know what his ceiling can be and he has embraced the city and organization. I’m willing to ride or die with Allen.

     

    I think people forget that it sometimes takes times for a qb to fully develop and reach their max potential. It took several years before Big Ben, Brady and Brees became Hall of Fame quarterbacks. And others that have started out fast such as RGIII and maybe Mayfield have sometimes regressed. 
     

    The Bills don’t have a qb problem. What we could use is a big #1 wr and a more dynamic 1a/1b rb. Put some weapons around Allen and he will take another jump as he did from his first year. 
     

     

    We really need to leave Brady out of those comparisons....won the SB in his 2nd year on the roster, 1st year starting....and also won 2 more out of the next 3.......

    Josh is a playmaker. Period. It's obvious and consistent. Trying to make him a game manager puts restraints on him. I think we're a better, more dangerous team, and possible great team if the shackles are taken off 

    I tend to believe they let Josh do his things early in the season...let him be aggressive.... and the turnovers made coach McD rethink that strategy....and it changed after the 1st NE game.....yes, Josh is a play maker...but he is NOT consistent right now...I am however, 100% sure that it's coming...and when it does, he'll be an incredible weapon......

    I think "clearly" is certainly debatable.  

     

    Of course it is, it helps level set all the bitching.  

     

     

    "Clearly" might be too strong of a word....but the question was whether or not we would swap QBs...Watson might not be " clearly" better, but he's certainly slightly better...therefore, I would make that trade in a second !

    pats suck... most of the country is dying to see them finished. It will be a big party.

    Would have been amazing to have it happen last night.

    If that is true, what does it say about our team? How come we can't beat them...ever....31-3 when Brady plays.....2-0 this season...again....they are still better than us...and THAT sucks ! We could have put a serious dent in their bye week hopes yesterday....it's frustrating to say the least....

    Can’t disagree, but we already knew this. The Bills roster overhaul is not yet complete. While most of last seasons putrid offense has been replaced, they are still missing a couple of key pieces. They’re better on that side of the ball, but not good enough to carry the team deep into the playoffs. Still, they have a good chance at a WC round win even with a suspect offense. 

    The Patriots have major issues, and one game hardly means they’ve gotten into gear. They hung on to win at home Vs a questionable Bills offense. These are clearly not the same Patriots

     

    I understand what you mean, and this is not directed at you specifically....but we've been hearing this for a few years now....they are not the same Patriots.....which I assume means they are not as good as last year or a few years ago......but yet, here they are, will end up with a 13-3 record, have a bye week followed by a home playoff game....doesn't it sound familiar ?.....what are you comparing them too ?...The 2007 16-0 team ?....we saw it last year...played just OK during the season and just turned it up 10 fold in the playoffs....and won another SB....

    And the cheating began with the tuck rule if I remember correctly. He had a more rounded team and a better collegiate coach too....

    I just think it's unfair to JA to compare him to Brady.....no QB looks good doing that....I like Josh, and I think he can lead the Bills to the promise land...but he's no Tom freaking Brady....no one is....

    I agree. Brady was on the bench his second year. Kelly was learning in the USFL There are exceptions, almost all surrounded by exceptional talent, but they're not going to include a raw prospect who had received zero quality coaching in college. Allen has done great in a short time with limited weapons to work with. If the Bills win no more games this season still has been a success. 

    Brady came in to replace an injured Bledsoe in his 2nd year...started the rest of the season...and won the SB....

    Why yes. Yes it is. If your gonna a make crazy prediction, your gonna have to eat crow when reality sets back in.

    It almost make it seems like you've waiting to jump on this....almost.....the OP was optimistic, nothing wrong with that....to knock him down 2 minutes after the game ends is on the trolling side...but that's just my opinion...

    As great as the pats have been - no doubt their legacy has HUGELY benefitted from a weak division and being able to play fewer games and at home to get into the big show. 

    Pats fans always bring up the fact that their winning % is roughly the same vs the rest of the league as it is vs the AFC East.....which is a testament to their greatness, yes....but you can't tell me that, for example, playing 2 games a year vs the Ravens and Steelers for the last 20 years would not have been a bigger challenge...
