we needed every LUCKY bounce of the football to squeak out a win against a bunch of practice squad-caliber players.

 

Yeah and the Patriots needed a miscommunication leading to a pick and a dropped TD pass to keep them in the game. It isn't correct to say we got every bounce in this game. We won because we made more plays than they did. The defense is obviously a big concern moving forward. That doesn't mean you have to pretend the game went differently than it did.

That onside kick was a terrible and desperate decision by Belichick. 

 

@YoloinOhio A desperate Hoodie is my favorite Hoodie. That was the play that made me feel like, for once, the Dark Lord Himself was, in fact, scared that he might lose. 

 

I look forward to many more occurrences of said feeling.

Keep fighting the good fight, but I am afraid the barbarians are at the gate.

That defensive performance today was straight crap for the most part, and what has me so damn pissed is Frazier and McDermott's lack of adjustment..

 

McDermott and Frazier aren't playing LB and 1-tech. Beane is to blame for the defensive problems this year. No scheme in the world helps AJ Klein make a tackle. Beane better be on the phone with every team in the league looking for Harrison Phillips' replacement.

I agree to this to some extent. It makes me wonder how much of a hand McDermott has in the personnel decisions. 
 

They do bear some of the blame. But they aren’t the ones missing tackles and not getting off blocks. 
 

We can argue their passive philosophy a different time!

Cam is the hat master.

 

I will give him that.

 

Cam played well today,

 

My hats off to the Patriot QB,

 

 Oddly enough seeing the pain etched onto his face after the fumble tells me Cam Newtons heart is in the right place.

Bill But-hurt - Amirite? 😛

 

For someone who Talks Sports he seems to be clueless about what he is outraged about

 

Love all the clown Cheater fans comments  - "OMG if it was us they would take all our picks away!"  -  F U Cheater fools

That was the most embarrassing "win" that I've ever witnessed from this team.  I'm not pleased at all.

Between the multiple key penalties that wiped out big gains by the Patriots offense, the arrogant decision by Bill Belichick to do an onside kick, and ridiculously fortunate fumble recovery in the final seconds... we needed every LUCKY bounce of the football to squeak out a win against a bunch of practice squad-caliber players.

 

At this point, I'm already looking towards next year.  The offense is our only hope to carry this team, and it's been mediocre for the last month.  This defense is hot trash.  And this coaching staff clearly has zero answers for fixing it.  Our D-Line gets blown backwards on virtually every play, while our linebackers don't understand basic tackling fundamentals and our secondary plays 18 yards off the receivers.  It was interesting to see how much our cornerbacks respect the skills of Jakobi Meyers and Damiere Byrd, that we gave them huge cushions all game.

 

I'm starting to believe the hype that Miami can mount a comeback and take the AFC East.  And even if we still manage to win the division, this overrated squad is going to get knocked out in the first round.  

 

 

So, what you're sayin is that 9/10 Pat******t wins over the past 25 years were also embarrassing, because of the volume of cheating they did? 

 

No?

 

Okay... Cool. I like lying to myself and mainlining crack, too.

No Brady, no Gilmore, no Edelman, all the missing pieces on Defense... That’s not progress.  That’s not taking a step toward being a legitimate playoff team.  Isn’t that what this year is about?  They’re not going anywhere playing like this.  They aren’t gaining any ground on the elite teams.  Is that win really a reason to celebrate?

Just out of curiosity I looked at last years tackle for loss stats (on espn for what it's worth) and the team leaders were Lawson with 17 and Phillips with 15.  Edmunds was after that with 11.5.  This year we have Poyer (a DB) with 6 and no one else with more than 4 meaning that outside of Poyer no one is on pace to have more than 8.  Just more numbers saying how much weaker our front 7 is this year.

Agreed. I really have to question what Beane was doing with regards to Vincent Taylor. Why try to sneak him onto the practice squad? Maybe he had too much confidence in Harrison playing that 1-tech... but he's looks bad there.

Extremely lucky to suck out the W.  Without the turnover the Bills almost certainly would have lost.  But any W is better than a L.  Against the cheaters, even as ugly a game as that was, makes it that much sweeter. It's pretty obvious the Bills aren't going to do great things this season, but they are 6-2 and beat the Pats.  I'll gladly take it at the midway point.

I'll play any position you want me to for half the price and only a slight drop-off in production.

I don’t believe there would be any drop-off production

Since horseshoes and hand grenades weren’t on the agenda today, and a W in the NFL is hard no matter who you play, I don’t think sitting here apologizing for outlasting Bill Belichick in a close game will be happening either. But sure, style points would be nice too! ;)

Here's success for me this season: win a playoff game.  While I think that this team can go deeper, there are three glaring things that aren't leading me in that direction currently (D issues, inconsistencies on O, ST issues in punting/kicking), but it doesn't mean that teams like the Ravens or the Titans won't slot themselves out and the Bills won't slot themselves in.

We quite possibly coulda just weathered the most inspired effort of the year from that pats team. 
 

The Goat was coaching for his season. The Qb was playing for his respect. 
 

I won’t ever freaking apologize for a win. That was a p****d off and DANGEROUS wounded dog that we finally took out back and put out of its misery. 

Yeah, I'm thinking with this monkey off their back, maybe they will play a lot more free and easy agains the Pats from here on out.  There has been so much pressure to get over the hump, so it'll be interesting to see how they play the second one...

So true. Today was an opportunity to take advantage of a depleted Belichick team and maybe exorcise some demons. But instead our mediocre coaching staff and several struggling players survived a game they most definitely would have lost. These last 4 weeks makes you reevaluate this teams ability in the playoffs?

It’s hilarious to read a few of the negative asshats that populate this board. If you can’t enjoy beating the Pats*, effectively ending their season, and improving to 6-2 then you are just a miserable person in general. Go wallow in your negativity while we enjoy a nice W and some positive vibes.


you have to love the insult crew.  It’s all cake, ribbons and rainbows, but that quickly turns to flame throwing if you don’t share their opinion.  ass hat?  Really?   I’m not apologizing for wanting to see a higher level of play from this group at this point the rebuild.  I’m thrilled you’re satisfied with what you’re seeing.

Every win is a punch to the gut to only get up and move on.

 

I expect that, but a lot of folks are POed that the Bills don’t accumulate any style points at all.

 

Forget the style points and take your punch to the gut that comes with every win. 😁
