JerseyBills Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 First off, it's hard to give credit to a guy who attacked our stud rookie who played another stellar game,what a player 27 is , he's going to be great for years. You watch the unraveling of the D in the 2nd half and it was just Brady feeding Gronk, the best players at their positions,on numerous big downs. The D was in perfect placement on some of these,it just came down to Amazing ball placement to a monster TE.. White nearly has another pick in one of these 1st downs, perfect coverage, just out powered him. Another 1st down over the middle was again a result of the Goat delivering a perfect pass, under duress to Gronk and another huge play over Hyde . 9/10 these are incompletions, defense off the field. But we saw two of the best in this era , just zoned in ,at their best (with each other) and beat a great defensive game plan in that 2nd half. Huge props to McD and the D, with a competent O,that game comes down to the wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWATeam Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 What no one noticed is that Gronk went off exactly after Johnson went out injured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true but 3 of those throws,that defense gets off the field 9/10 times, credit to two of the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobot Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Give them credit sure, but our D has serious deficiencies at the line.... PATS proved that our D-Line is made up of pass rushers OR run stoppers, but not both. Their play-calling was spot on based on who we had on the field. We need to upgrade the talent on our roster in order to compete with these guys (obviously). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) What's the point ? That no team in the NFL has a player that can cover Gronkowski one on one? We know, thanks for tuning in. It's long been known that you have to affect the play on the front end, coverage is not going to do it . Until a 6-7 cover corner emerges in the league ( don't hold your breath) the play must be disrupted by pass rush or at the line.

I guess after rewatching, I just appreciated 2 all time greats at their best, and give our D a little more credit because they're unstoppable when playing on that level , and seeing it first hand I want to tip my hat, our D brought the best out of that duo. They had no other answer in the pass game, which is a huge win for the D. The D Should hold their heads high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that's why the Bills didn't even bothering covering Gronk on a few plays... hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmanfan Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 All day long people are ripping the Bills for losing to a tremendously talented team. Sometimes it's not about blaming the losing team for what they did wrong. Sometimes you just have to acknowledge the other team is better. And the Pats are just better. And have been for years now. Doesn't mean thd Bills shouldn't keep trying to improve and compete. Just recognition of the obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moral victories are for losers! Well, my reply would be to grow up. Acknowledging the excellence of the Pats does not mean in any way that one is happy the Bills lost. It is simply recognizing the Pats are a great football team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Basically the Bills tried everuthing and nothing really worked to any great degree...props to them for trying.

Don't lecture me about who to root for, child. acknowledging that the Pats are a great team does not mean you are a fan of their team. When you grow up you'll figure it out. What's weird is practically everyone was expecting a loss....and when it happens, people freak out.....makes no sense.....NE is much better than the Bills and they won.....what a shock !!....

Right. I can't stand Brady and Belichick, and what Gronkowski did was a punk move. And I'd go after him in a couple weeks. But that doesn't mean you ignore the obvious. Brady and Belichick are the best ever at what they do. You can hate them as we all do but to deny that simply shows envy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
