    Can we have some honesty around here or are we now supposed to just shut up and pretend the Pats game was a lot closer than it looked because the scoreboard tells us it was?

     

    Am I the only one here who thinks those were garbage time points? This is ridiculous. A lot of the time NFL teams with big leads do stop playing as hard as they were when they were beating the pulp out of you earlier in the game. If that wasn't true then the Bills would have never had the greatest comeback playoff game. Half is the team on top might become bored and the other half is the team that's down doesn't quit and gets hot. I would think that Bills fans would know this.

    Well where is the petition to make football games 3 quarters long?

    I've reached stage 4, acceptance.

     

    Overall, the most disappointing thing about yesterday is that it feels like we can't be better than 2nd place in the AFC. I feel like we can beat any team but the Pats right now. As for the emotion of it, I blame myself and Rex for putting myself and the players at that level and you could see it on the sidelines almost immediately. The Bills played out of control and dug themselves too much a whole. Yes, we came back at the end, but we never led the game beyond the first 5 minutes and the game shouldn't have been like that.

     

    Just for reference......after 15 years of missing the playoffs I would totally take being the 2nd best team in the AFC this year.......do you realize what a jump in the right direction that would be?

     

    I also re-affirmed my hatred for Brady and Bilicheat. You can't convince me that they weren't trying to run up the score at the end so Brady could throw his 400th TD in our stadium as a point of FU. Their cockiness is what allowed us to come back more than anything. We were able to score on some broken plays. If they stuck to their gameplan, I don't think we came back even close.

     

    I think all fans can get together behind the hatred of this this team. but......we have the perfect QB for broken plays....that is what makes him kind of special actually

     

    But going forward, I do expect to win a lot of games. I do expect to be a playoff team. And yes, yesterday was just a crazy day in the NFL. Just look at survivor leagues.

     

    Here are my concerns though going forward:

    1. Is this what causes Rex to lose control of his teams? He gets them hyped up and when they start to lose, they eventually turn on themselves?

    Winning takes care of all that

    1. Can Roman really gameplan where he uses his WR's? He didn't in San Fran and we haven't seen much of Sammy or Woods

    Its early to worry about this....a lot of these guys didnt even play in the pre season.

    1. Can this team prepare and get to the points where beating the Pats isn't a fluke? Unless we beat them at home on Monday Night (doubtful), the road to the Superbowl will most likely go through Foxboro

    It doenst matter HOW we beat them.....we just need to beat them

     

     

    There are still other questions, but I admit that it's too early to tell. I think that Tyrod will learn from this. I think that weird things happen on any given Sunday. But this just hurts so much more because this was our best opportunity to show we've arrived and we squandered it.

     

    What will really help in his "learning" is for our offensive line to not commit penalties and not allow free blitzers

     

    It's like being a boxer and knowing that no matter who you beat, there's that one guy out there who holds the title and can mess you up. How optimistic can you really get knowing that?

     

    Or there could be teams out there that have more success against the pats then we did.....they could take on injuries....or they could not be playing as well come playoff time.......did any of these come across your mind?

     

    The best team in week 2 is not necessarily the best team in week 16.

     

     

     

    So, hope the Pats get cold, injured, or another team beats them for us? I mean, how is that not a loser's mentality. I'm not saying that to insult you or anything as I typically like your posts. And yes, I will be happy making the playoffs if we do. It's more that we have the talent to beat them finally. Our strengths should absolutely play to their weaknesses and we still found a way to get embarrassed. We can't be seen as contenders as long as their is any team out there which has our number.

     

    Even if we had lost, but it was more of an actual game, I'd feel very differently. Losing isn't what bothers me. It's the fact that we really didn't have a chance until their ego got in their way. It's the fact that our coaches just couldn't get this team ready. So yeah, until I see that chance and show itself on the field, it's hard to be optimistic that we will get past them.

     

    To be perfectly honest......beating the pats is totally secondary to me. I want my team to make the playoffs.

     

    If we lose to the pats.....but made the playoffs this year I would consider it a total win. Sure beats not having a team to root for come playoff time.

    Expect every defense to attack our offense like this...

    that confusion started with his OC, after the first drive.. you don't learn anything in survival mode.. the coach has to settle things down and respond to the pressure his 'rookie' QB is getting. DCs borrow pieces to get 8 in the box, and that leaves them weak elsewhere. Roman ran more counter-measures in pre-season than i saw in this game. he failed his O the way Rex failed his D. not at all what many of us expected

    To me this starts with the penalties....WAAAAY too many penalties on offense

    This team is not making playoffs

    I agree that it might not be the time to panic after one bad loss.

     

    Its how the Bills lost! Even the Bills own HC says they were out coached, and they were in almost every aspect. So many penalties in both the first two games. The game plan was bad on both sides of the ball against NE.

     

    The Patriots just gave the rest of the league the blueprint on how to disassemble the 2015 Buffalo Bills. So lets watch next week to see if Miami noticed.

    It is interesting that the colts followed that same blueprint......but it failed them.

     

    hmmmmmmm

    It should have been an easy pitch & catch. It doesn't make you less a fan to see that.

    That is not what I am pointing out

     

    I am pointing out that franchise QBs sometimes throw these balls.......and TEs catch them because they catch difficult passes

    Fair enough, and a good point. Was looking for more, I guess. Should not have expected good QB play, I suppose.

    You took what he said and completely twisted it

     

    and

     

    You still not have given your recommendations on how we would fix our "bad qb situation"
