Success

Good. They'll have to go QB if they stay there - and a team can waste 4-5 years missing on a QB. However, it's likely they beat the Jets, and pick more of a sure thing at another position.

The Buffalo Bills have won 4 in a row.

There are a lot of really scummy Pats fans. Online, most of the comments I saw after Allen's injury were "told ya so" kinds of sentiments, with hopes that it would affect him the remainder of the season. Obviously, a small sample - but it's consistent w/ what I see from that crew in general. After 6 titles - still bitter & petty.

Not sure if anyone has noticed - but wins are hard to come by this year. We've won 4 in a row, and just beat a tough division rival. They have a bad record, but the vast majority of their losses are 1 score or under. When JA had to play well today - he did. I'm celebrating, personally.

There is an old NFL saying: "The W is all that matters."

Well, all we have to do is hold a team w/ their backup QB and missing their top 3 receivers from scoring a 97-yard TD drive in the final minutes.

That drive started w/ not sneaking it on 3rd & 1. Sometimes the most simple solution is the right one.

Belichick will be playing the sneak here. And it would be smart to sneak. But it would be kind of cool to take a shot w/ some single coverage....

I mean, they should let the team know they'll have a shot at the division if they pull out the win....

See, if we hadn't used our timeout there, we might have gotten the ball back for another shot...

Well, that no flag evened out the block in the back on NE's play earlier. Hold 'em here. We'll probably be better running a 2 minute offense, and we can do the old Pats thing of scoring right before the half and right after the half.

Hey, I don't care if we don't break 10 yards passing for the day, as long as the D keeps pouring it on like this....

I'm so happy Oliver is going to be a Bill for a long time.

Not too worried about the offense. It's the 1st quarter. It won't be like this all game - and 1 more TD probably puts this game away w/ the way the D is playing.

Everyone makes mistakes. No one should be judged forever by their worst moment. I have no issue w/ this one, personally.

Good football weather. Wind is much worse than precipitation.

Brown sugar & cinnamon, frosted. So, so good. Hot or cold.

I agree to an extent on their defense. It can be really good, and even top tier. My hope is that it's like the Jets, who also have a great D. We lost a close one the 1st time around, but played like we should the 2nd time & blew them out.

I mean, welcome to the NFL, Gronk. Whining like a baby that guys are pulling his jersey. They were up 3 scores and the game was winding down, and he had to go all roid rage because he felt a small pull on his jersey.

He's a repugnant individual.

We lose to bad teams when we turn the ball over, and commit too many penalties. Pretty easy formula to win this one.

1 catch for 9 yards incoming...

Many of those fans are also Red Sox fans - who always mocked Yankees fans for just responding "27 titles" when NY was struggling over the past decade+. I love the irony.

If the Pats started Zappe all season, they'd have at least 2-3 more wins, imo. Jones might have more accuracy, but Zappe reminds me of someone like Heinicke. He's more competitive, and fights harder. He's also better at improvising and moving around the pocket.

Reading Patriots boards - they remind me so much of us during the drought. The endless QB discussions - should we draft a guy? Maybe Zappe should get a full season? What about trading for Cousins? Wilson might be cut - any interest? And then the whole coach debate. It's astounding how many fans there have turned on the guy who brought them 6 titles. And last, the gloomy sense of inevitability when playing the Bills. Most know they caught us at a good time in the 1st game, and expect to lose this one.
