Billsfanatic8989 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 How the hell did they beat the Patriots 31-0? Was it a fluke? Great gameplan? I guess it goes to show that you can never take opening day results too seriously. We all know how the season ended for each team. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PittsforDave Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) That was the milloy year. He gave us a bunch of inside info. What was the score of our very last game that season? karma?

HomeskillitMoorman Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) I heard Tedy Bruschi talk about this once, and the way he described it is Belichick instills a lot of changes every single offseason, and there's a lot of experimenting that goes on with different personnel and packages early in the season. He says it's not at all that they aren't prepared physically or mentally for the beginning of the season, but the reason they get better as the season goes along is they're mastering the different things that have been incorporated and finding the right players for certain packages and plays. He said some teams don't change that much from one year to the next, and they're usually the ones that don't get better as the season goes along and that some teams that do just don't have a head coach as good as Belichick to smooth out all the wrinkles. In that specific scenario, the Bills D was getting to Brady quite a bit in that game and the Bills had good protection up front and Bledsoe hit some passes that he pretty much didn't for the majority of the rest of that year. I unfortunately have a feeling McDermott, like his long lost Uncle Jauron, is one of those that what you see is pretty much what you get.

DRA3196 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 The patriots seldom play well in September, and we had signed Malloy 5 days before our opener for the patriots, so both our offense and defense knew what was coming. It was a sold out home opener. A perfect storm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how sad is that? That a top 5 Bills moment for us and probably so many, at least amongst the younger part of the fanbase, was game 1 of what ultimately was a 6-10 meaningless season.

elcrusho Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Then the following week I sliced my pointer finger open (cutting something, I don't remember it was like 493 years ago) on my left hand and told my Fiance at the time that just gets me a band-aid because it was like 30 min to the Jaguars game ... I thankfully have a scar because I got stitches. Knicked the tendon apparently but was all good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it goes to show that you can never take opening day results too seriously. We all know how the season ended for each team. We had players! Adams (the pick six by the big fella had the crowd in a lather) Pat Williams, Clements, Spikes, Henry, Moulds, Schobel. When Williams and Adams came off the bench for the goal line stand to end it and pitch the shutout was one of my favorite moments of all time. We were 1-0 and in first place! Good times And as mentioned above we Lawyered up that week. Malloy brought the playbook with him from NE 3 hours ago, no name said: another one of those seasons going 2-0 out the gate and thinking this is the year, maybe this year and well, you know.

CSBill Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 This is what this season has become, fantasizing about a meaningless win in a meaningless 2003 season. Ugh! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Pats came into that game pouting and down over the Malloy thing. Needless to say that was short-lived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
