That’s not really bad coverage either. TJ was just manhandled

Buffalo Blitzes never get home. Better off dropping 8

We know he can make plays. He needs to start doing it consistently.

Turnovers are as sure of a thing with this defense as something can get. They damn near had one the first play if Rousseau didn’t have his head up his culo

Alexa play “Mister Brightside”

Beautifully called drive so far.

Some of us are still grounded. Let’s see how this team responds. I want to see a quick strike TD

I mean this is kind of what we were expecting.

Glad Snoop Dogg was there to get me pumped up

DEFER DEFER DEFER

He got my vote. What he’s done is the most impressive. I don’t wanna hear about how he’s propped up by a good team. They weren’t winning games prior

Brady should take the leash off of Allen. Not play him like he’s 41. Not saying to stop running Cook, but open this offense up downfield a bit. Put Allen on the move. Split Cook out and think of other creative ways to use your most athletic players (Allen and Cook.)

Daboll is not getting fired. No chance. That recent win just sealed his job.

This is better than Game of Thrones

This is why Buffalo should’ve took care of business at home. Protected the ball and got out of there by a slim margin. Instead they might be faced with this scenario. Still it’s hard to be too upset at 4-1

The Panthers game is looking a lot tougher than it did in the beginning of the year. Bryce Young looks legit

Pats now 4-2 so yeah

Why can’t the game be today ? I hate these prime time game so much. With a burning passion. The 1pm slot was a distant dream now Oh. Does Allen choose the defensive players as well ? Because that would make a lot of sense

Finally a reply about the actual topic Absolutely no way. I don’t even think they lose one of those games.

I didn’t say the Bills weren’t a good team, but they certainly didn’t play like one. Should’ve been an easy home W. My main concern is the way they lost and the general emergence of the Pats. The other concern is their laughably easy remaining schedule.

The Bills weren’t a young, up & coming team during those upsets with the 3rd overall pick quarterback. It’s not one loss I’m worried about. I’m worried about New England’s future potential. Everyone and their grandma knew those Bledsoe/ Fitz-led teams weren’t ever going to be true contenders. Seems like Vrabel is building at least something decent

It’s not panic. It’s being realistic. The Bills are only a game ahead. I think it’s a valid conversation to have. Thankfully they should have Lamar back by then.

I am just revisiting this topic now that we have a larger sample size to sort through. The season has kind of gone the way I thought it would. I knew Miami & NY wouldn’t compete. I never would’ve guessed they (Pats) went into Orchard Park and won.

I am worried because Vrabel completely shut down James Cook and slowed Allen down considerably. 20 points is a joke for this offense. Buffalo should be putting up 30+ every game. McDermott was severely out coached. He gets way too conservative. I would’ve felt better running a 2 minute offense the entire game than hoping for the Bills to force a miracle turnover in a one possession game. On an even playing field, coaching wins you the game. Drop balls, missed blocks ARE his fault because McD is responsible who sees the field and instilling fundamentals. A fundamentally sound player doesn’t drop balls and miss tackles. The biggest concern though is the defense who let Maye effortlessly drive into FG range. This was exactly what happened last season except the Bills won by 3 that time. Would’ve been easier to stomach if it was a chaotic road game, but that’s what Maye was dealing with so gotta give him props.

Excluding some kind of miracle, it’s obvious who the front runners are of this division. The Patriots showed that they are not the same team as the past few seasons. Maye was impressive and Vrabel’s defense showed that it can slow Josh Allen down. I am still leaning heavily towards Buffalo to win it. I think the next 3 games will be very telling for each of these teams. The first 3 for the Patriots should be EASY wins for a contender. If they win those 3, they will show me that can beat the teams they are supposed to beat. That is the first step of becoming an elite team. Once you can defeat the “tomato cans” with regularity, you have to start beating elite teams. The Bills win was a fluke until I see them do it again. Unfortunately, their remaining schedule is probably the easiest in the NFL. The Bills next 3 games scares me a little more. The Falcons are the type of team the Bills typically fail against. The run-heavy, physical kind. Still their QB doesn’t scare me. For the Panthers, Bryce Young has flashes of brilliance once in a blue moon. Facing off against the Chiefs used to be a good gauge on how good your team is. Although, still a major accomplishment if the Bills win. I posted both remaining schedules. What do you think?
