Allen McKenzie O-line The D was OK...however...I had no confidence whatsoever that we were going to come up with the big stop if Josh didn't make those plays and lead us to a TD on our last drive. I really felt like the offense had to close it out, which Allen and McKenzie did!

Totally agree, Josh was so poised, confident, and controlled in this game and made huge plays in huge moments. Best game as a Bill.

Because we get absolutely no push on them. It’s been going on for years. What a play by Josh on 4th tho

WHY DO WE RUN QB SNEAKS

Still don’t trust McKenzies hands, McD???

It’s up to Josh here, I have no faith this D can grab a stop with the Pats in 4 down mode here on out

It crossed the plane before he fumbled unfortunately

Josh is gonna have to close this out. I don’t think the D can come up with the big stop.

To me…Josh’s best game of the season. He may have other better games statistically, but the poise on this stage with what’s on the line and after drops and some momentum going against him…he’s been fantastic!

McD’s still such an amateur in terms of game management. You absolutely can not burn a timeout there. So incredibly stupid.

Horrible TO by McD, good Lord

Gotta hope those drops don’t come back to get us

Why do we need to get to the break? They were the team reeling right there. Pedal to the metal. We also have #17, it doesn’t matter a ton that we’re at our 10.

Great half overall. I don’t like giving away the possession at the end of the half though with like a minute to go and a timeout. Every possession is precious in games like this.

Gotta close this out, 17-7 and the ball to start the half? Can’t ask for more than that!

I hated that, just gave them back any kind of advantage from the holding

D needs to come up big here, let us build a lead

I’ve been tough on McD but I loved the call there. I will never criticize him or any coach for going for 4th and short when you have a top QB. I can live with fate if the ball is in our best players hands.

Ultimately what it came down to for the players was weighing the desire to do what’s best for the team vs the fear of taking the shot. Not saying one is wrong inherently right or wrong, that’s just what it boiled down to.

I think it’s moreso that those guys were aware that the penalties were greater if you’re not vaxxed and still chose not to. Even after all this time when there’s no evidence that the vaccine actually does anything negative. It may not help as much as many once thought, but it also doesn’t seem to be a threat in any way.

Haha is this thread for real? Where’s the sense of humor? I thought it was pretty funny

I still enjoy it. Sure I would more if McD wasn’t here and we did a better job building the trenches over the last 5 years…but it’s still fun.

Agreed, but that overall body of work against them from McD is still disappointing, but much moreso if we lose on Sunday. That was mostly my point there. There isn’t some kind of talent disparity this year to be “ok” with going 0-2 against them in games with basically the season on the line. And we have the better QB. 0-2 vs them this year with the stakes and QB situations would say a lot unfortunately.

He’s 2-7 overall, the wins count but they were also in the one year NE sucked. More importantly if we go 0-2 vs them in a year where we desperately needed to just split while we have the better QB would be an atrocity.

How does that make me a Pats fan? By wanting to have a coach that can actually beat them? I would argue that Pats fans would be ecstatic to see us keep McD long-term.
