A lot of guys sat that day Did Brady start? .... cause he is the only one who matters. And just checked Nate Soldier played. Who are the 2 tackles you are referring to. Amendola played. Blount played. Vareen played. Most of their entire defense played. So yeah most of their starters started.

hondo in seattle Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 8 hours ago, Billsfanatixs said: According to the playoff machines. if the Bills finish out 1win 1 loss, we would be much better off if that loss from from New England. Like 70% chance if we Beat Miami vs. 46% chance if we beat New England. If we win out, 99% chance I'm rooting for the win-out 99% option. If we beat the Pats tomorrow (a gigantic "if," I know), I think it puts us on a different course. Goliath has been defeated, long live David! A win in Foxboro would elevate the players' confidence in themselves, in the coaching staff, and in the "process." It would therefore, I think, improve the odds of winning the Miami game and launching us into the playoffs. And I say that knowing full well that Miami's victory over the Pats didn't help them at all in their next game. Different team, different circumstances.

Big Turk Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 1 hour ago, aceman_16 said: Lol... they started their starters and we went in with a JV team. The "matter" part would be correct There was no Gronk, no Amendola, no Edelman, and a few defensive players that didn't play...but yeah lets pretend they all did. And Brady played a few series and then left. Revisionist history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Brady played a few series and then left. Revisionist history. Actually... you are revising history. I posted an actual game stats link earlier. In case you missed it here is the link https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/201412280nwe.htm#all_vis_snap_counts As you can see... pretty much their entire defense started. However, for those too lazy to check their facts here is a fun copy paste from there: Patriots Starters Player Pos Tom Brady QB (48% of the snaps) Brandon Bolden RB ** Danny Amendola WR ** oops howd he get on there... you swore he didnt play! and 81% of snaps to boot! Brandon LaFell WR Brian Tyms WR Michael Hoomanawanui TE Nate Solder LT Josh Kline LG Bryan Stork C Ryan Wendell RG Marcus Cannon RT Chandler Jones RE Rob Ninkovich LDE Alan Branch DT Vince Wilfork DT Sealver Siliga DT Jamie Collins LB Jonathan Casillas LB Darrelle Revis LCB Logan Ryan RCB Devin McCourty S Patrick Chung S Anyhow, carry on!

aceman_16 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) Oh yeah...additional information: our starters versus theirs (before they subbed out some players) were leading 17 to 6 at half time. But change facts to fit your narrative if you must. Edited December 23, 2017 by aceman_16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aceman_16 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) lol the starting Offense oddly had 0 (zero) defensive snap counts and vice-versa!

RiotAct Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Belichick wanted to use Brady as part of the wedge on punt returns, but he chickened out at the last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to show people that the Pats* had most of their entire team play the first half sans 2 players. I also wanted to point out that the Bills were winning before they were pulled out. I am not twisting that IF the Pats* wanted to win or they kept the starters in that they would have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
