Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 JSP is one of those weathervanes pointing in the wrong direction at all times - his sunny take on letting Gilmore walk makes it far more likely that the decision was a bad one, perhaps even more so than Satan choosing to pay Gilmore so much money. Last night's result doesn't mean much. The Patriots are often slow starters, they'll adjust and tweak and hit their stride shortly. And the Chiefs are often fast starters and slow finishers - I'm not ready to anoint them yet. Losing Berry is HUGE, he's the heart and soul of that defense. The fact that this was written by one of the most emotional crying Sammy Watkins fanboys makes me realize that I'm on the right track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 After this loss, Brady goes to 51-2 against AFC opponents at home in regular season since 2007. That's insane. Pats looked vulnerable though. Berry hurt really hurts Chiefs. Pats D was weak. Welker out really changes them. Hogan can't play that position, and neither can Amendola because he won't last. Outside of Brady that's the most important position on their offense. More than Gronk. I know you meant Edelman but you're absolutely right. He was/is Brady's safety valve. Have you ever seen Brady take so many desperate shots downfield in a game? It was surreal to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-8 Forever? Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 well, go beat the Jets and be on top of the division after week 1. go bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Regardless of what happens the rest of the season, if any bills fan can't just appreciate the giant dose of humility dumped on the Pats last night I can't help you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionallyUnstable Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 So what do Pats fans blame this loss on? Goodell? Refs? Swine Flu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) What stood out to me is the Pats got whipped up front on both lines. Couldn't run block on the short yardage attempts, couldn't protect Brady especially at the end (or quit), crap run D and no pass rush (miss Chandler Jones and Jamie Collins now, BB)? I don't see Chiefs as world beaters though. They lost their best player and leader Eric Berry and they will not be as fortunate within their division with those defenses in LA, Denver, and Oakland. 3 of the 4 best pass rushers in the league imo in Miller, Mack and Bosa.

Wayne Arnold Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Patriots looked like garbage last night. They played like they spent the entire offseason/preseason trolling teams and celebrating their Super Bowl. Smith looked great but I don't expect him to play like that for the entire season. All of those 19-0 predictions aren't looking too hot any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NeckBeard Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 They were especially arrogant after this Superbowl win Yes, and the opening ceremonies to start the game made me want to puke as well. Plus, the Pats are ruining a perfectly, good, fun, weird rock tune in "Crazy Train". They need to stop that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I admit I fell asleep midway through 3rd with Chiefs up 21-17, it looked like they had a chance at that point. I have new found respect for Eric Berry and Alex Smith. Both were terrific and really too bad to see Berry out for season now. Pats will get better, but they were exposed in some places it will be tough to correct like lack of speed in Front 7. Of the Bills guys, Hogan was invisible, Gilmore has more excuses, and Gillislee look good early.....but he was only 15-45 ....but he scored TDs ...but he was stopped on short yardage...mixed bag for him .

stevewin Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 they are blaming injuries. And some on patsfan MB the refs, unbelievably What stood out to me is the Pats got whipped up front on both lines. Couldn't run block on the short yardage attempts, couldn't protect Brady especially at the end (or quit), crap run D and no pass rush (miss Chandler Jones and Jamie Collins now, BB)? Which plays into the Bills strengths - maybe McBeane has had a plan all along for beating the Pats*? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Chiefs defense probably dropped 10 spots overall with berry out. He is so good. Top 5 to middle of NFLSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Agree with this. His 4th down stop after Hunt fumble kept KC in the game. He also neutralized Gronkowski.

PolishDave Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I wonder if the Patriots will approach the BIlls with the same gameplan they approached with KC. I doubt it. I bet when it comes to the Bills, assuming the Bills' pass rush gets back to being good, we will see the Patriots relying on the quick passes - getting the ball out of Brady's hands in 2 seconds after the snap. When the Bills play them, if Brady holds the ball as long as he did against the Chiefs, the Bills front four will have a field day. They will eat him for lunch.

Edelman was the guy Brady always went to with the quick passing game because he knew where he'd be. He's not there. Gronk looked slow and couldnt get separation and I think Hyde can be decent matchup with him. I don't have some delusion that we will beat the Pats but they aren't exactly the same offense now with Brady having new WRs he needs to build the chemistry with- not sure anyone can really replace Edelman.

God I hope you are right. Seems like he always finds a new "guy". If they can't execute the quick pass, then perhaps the Bills really have a chance to beat them. The last time the Bills beat the Patriots in Buffalo - the elation was so strong - I think it cured most of societies ills around Buffalo the following week. People quit using drugs. People of different ethnicities hugged each other and got along. Employees smiled at work on Monday morning. Bars gave away free beer. Even the chicken wings tasted better. Make Buffalo great again!
