"Ain't go to play?" First off, call Hooked on Phonics and learn how to talk. Second, everyone that's been following the NFL knows Hernandez most likely will be behind bars for the rest of his life. The point of mentioning Gronkowski & Hernandez was that the Pats have relied on having 2 pass catching TE's in the game. If the Pats knew that Hernandez was going to end up being a murderer before the draft/start of free agency, don't you think the Pats would have picked up another reliable pass catching TE?

Exactly, thank you! The Bills should have won this game against a depleted Pats team. How many dropped passes did we see from the Patriots WR's yesterday? I agree with you that if the Bills played a solid to good team yesterday, that they would have lost. Giving up 450 yards (272 passing, 158 rushing) against a depleted Pats team is nothing to be excited about.

The Bills played a depleted Patriots team and still lost, how's that for positivity?! Imagine if Gronkowski & Hernandez played today, the Bills would have been blown out of the water.

Whether the Bills lose by 1 point or 50 points to the Patriots, the result is still the same. There are no points for moral victories or coming close. The Billls are 2-21 against Tom Brady...that's f@#king pathetic!!!

If Gronk & Hernandez were playing today, the score would have been very ugly. 2 sacks, especially 1 by the D-line is nothing to write home about.

Overall, 2 sacks for the day (1 by Kyle Williams, 1 by Searcy). Mario had 1 tackle, 1 assisted tackle. Not very encouraging!! So much for getting a ton of pressure on the QB.

Stupid!! Another game we could have won.

Typical Bills...another disheartening loss!

Figures, Bills will lose at the last second again.

Terrible!! Freddie is having a better game & should be getting more carries at this point.

Why aren't they trying to run out the clock?

In the words of Ron Simmons "DAMN!"

Marrone & co need to clamp down on the penalties.

Freddie still has "it"

Great stop by the Bills & fumble recovery!

LOOK OUT!!!

Pats 41 - Bills 24

Some people are reacting to this subject similar to the Lee Evans topic years back on if he was a #1 WR and if his skills were declining. People can try and live in denial that KW and Dareus weren't playing against the Redskins in the 3rd preseason game, but they were...imagine how bad the stats would have been if the Bills played against a healthy RGIII and he ran a few option plays in the first half, instead of playing against 3rd and 4th string QB's.

Both KW & Dareus played, check the nfl link I posted in the thread. The Bills starting defense got shredded by a 3rd & 4th string QB, and the Redskins RB's ran wild on them as well.

+1

Hallelujah! Amen! After seeing the Bills get shredded on the ground against the Skins in the 3rd preseason game, minus their star running QB [RGIII], you have to start questioning if the Bills have the right players at DT.

I know this going to be unpopular to say, but if Kyle Williams and Marcel Dareus can't get it done up front this season, then it's time the Bills look to replace those guys next season. I like both players, but the run defense has been atrocious for years now and it needs to be fixed. In the preseason, the Bills got shredded on the ground by the Redskins who were without RGIII. Last year, the run defense ranked 31st giving up 145.8 YPG; 2011: 28th with 139.0 YPG; and 2010: 32nd giving up 169.8 YPG.

I hope you're right. Wannstedt tried running a 20 year old defense that didn't work, and he had no answers whatsoever to fix it.
