I don't want this to sound like any sort of moral victory kinda of crap, but the Bills are undoubtedly getting better. I'm impressed withe off season additions to the offense. I'm impressed with the progress Allen has made. Last year this team went 23-3 and 37-16 vs the Pats. This year we had the ball driving for the winning/tying score to end both games. Success breads success and the success we've had this year has made all of us impatient. It has me anyways.

Brady is Brady and he's deadly heading into the playoffs. Brady is better getting rid of the ball when pressured. But I would counter that his O line is mostly the reason for his better play. He had significantly more time than Allen. Allen seemed to be constantly under pressure.

This is text book McD and we all knew it was coming. I guess it's worked more than it has failed us. A 7pt lead wasn't enough today. The performance of our D up to this point made that pretty clear, didn't it?

Less than 100 yds rushing and Allen got almost half of them. We got punched in the nose all afternoon in the trenches. Somebody above said we went to the run because Daboll couldn't rely on Josh passing the ball. LOL We got beat physically, very, very badly.

I'll buy

Oh, I was sure you saw it somewhere. I just wanted to show you that I didn't pull it out of my arse

Brady's QBR today was 90, his highest since week one. His QBR in his prior five games was 32, 38, 29, 39 and 36. That's on our defense. Could Josh had been better, of course. Josh didn't have time to go to his 3rd read, much less his 4th

No he wasn't. Got a clip?

He was lucky he didn't get hurt when he got hit 0.5 seconds after he let it go!

I think Belichick would take Josh in a heartbeat after Brady retires...next year. Imagine what Josh could do with that NE line and WRs.

Most people care about QBR. But I get it. It doesn't fit your narrative.

I think everyone agrees that the D has done excellent all year overall. They did pretty piss poor today. The fact that you're arguing that really does hurt your credibility about any other opinions you bring currently.

So Josh's 103 QBR to what the Pats normally hold opposing QBs to of 50?

I'd also offer that he holds a different opinion about Allen than does Beane and McD

I think NE at home had most to do with being 7pt dogs. Love your dissent though.

The O doesn't have the personnel. While the line is better than it was last year, all one had to do is compare the time Brady got to what Josh got, to know how much better we have to get there.

I couldn't disagree more. The game was lost in the trenches. NE controlled both lines of scrimmage, quite significantly, today.

In my opinion, every single player could have done more to give the Bills a chance to win today, on both sides of the ball, including Josh. I think the O came pretty close to meeting my expectations against this Pats defense. The Ds performance was quite a bit below my expectations.

Generally agree. But when they're accompanied by a 10 win season, I'll take 'em

They were on the field all day cuz they couldn't get a stop. Swiss cheese, missed tackles, missed assignments. A good share of their bad game they caused.

I want to be proven wrong.

The hate is strong with you

Don't bet against them

The process.. We've certainly exceeded expectations this year
