As has been said before, the Zimmer play was a heads-up, high-effort play that was the result of good coaching and good execution, in addition to some luck. It's the kind of game-saving play that the Pats**** have been doing to us on a regular basis for years, yet they always were praised for their coaching and preparation.

 

 

Exactly!!

 

When the Pats do it, it is because Belichek is a genius blah, blah blah but when the Bills do it we got "bailed out".

 

Was it Belichek's "genius" that McKelvin decided to return the kickoff of Losman decided to run out of the end zone?

Good then that takes the Jets out of the Trevor Lawrence category and most likely takes them out of the Justin Fields category as well

 

Yep, i would love to see Belichek embarrassed on national TV.  I am also fearful both Josh Fields and Lawrence could be special, I dont want the Jets to get either one.

Zimmer didnt "bail us out", in other words we got lucky.  No,  it was  a heads up play by Zimmer, that is what well coached teams do and no the Pats were not guaranteed to score a TD there or score at all, time was running low.

 

The Pats had a novel twist with Cam to start the year, started real hot.  Cam got Covid and other teams have learned how to attack him, the novelty wore off quickly.

The previous drive they had gone 72 yards in 7 plays to tie up the game. We came back with a FG to put us ahead 24-21. Up until the fumble the Pats had marched 65 yards in 12 plays while taking over 3-1/2 minutes off of the clock. There was under 40 seconds left in the game and the Pats were about to be set up with a 3rd and short, but the fumble happened. Heads up play by Zimmer and yes he did kind of bail us out by keeping the Pats from scoring in any capacity on that drive.

If you want to term it he "bail(ed) us out" when he makes and NFL level play that is up to you.  This to me is a new era in Bills football with competent coaching and GM, i fully anticipate players going forward will continue to "bail us out".

[Warcodered]

I mean it is delusional but Buffalo getting a win against a team that beat NE does all but put them passing us in the AFCE out of reach.

He writes the Bills win hurt the Pats ability to win the AFC East because the Pats had a good chance to make up ground. Claims winning the division isn't an impossible task but it just got harder. This dude is certifiable.

 

Come on man...just give it up already...

Well, in theory, the Pats could win out and the Bills could lose out...in which case it's possible Miami takes the division

 

I'm not going to predict the whole season at this point.  I'm just enjoying one Bills game at a time.  Yesterday, there was a veritable FEAST of enjoyment.  And then for dessert, I got to go back and watch various media experts being WRONG.

It's one play that Zimmer made which bailed us out in a single game. Yes, this is a new era. Yes, we have the best GM and Coach combo we've had since the 90's. I don't understand why you're uber sensitive about my choice of words or are choosing to harp on them. They had just marched right down the field on a previous drive and were doing the same thing again. The fumble happened. We won. It's not like the game was in hand when that happened. Zimmer's play kept them from having any further chance to advance down the field or even attempt a FG, hence he bailed us out.

As i wrote if you want to term it that way it is up to you, are you done beating this dead horse?

[HT02]

I can certainly understand if the Patriot fans and supporters think they will always find a way to win the division, get to and win the Super Bowl... I'd probably have the same sense of entitlement and confidence if my team had the same success.   As a Mets fan who listens to WFAN in NY during the summer Yankee fans NEVER lose confidence that things can and will be fixed.

How many times in games the Patriots looked ready to lose did someone bail them out over the last 20 years?

 

Yeah, a lot of times it was the refs stepping up to help them out too hahahahaha

 

But seriously, kinda how it rolls...plenty of times during the Bills SB years a player stepped up and made a play where the game was hanging in the balance...

 

Honestly in fact, that might be the best definition of good teams versus bad teams...when the games are on the line good teams step up and make plays to win and bad teams have those plays made against them.  The latter was the Bills for most of the past 20 years prior to McDermott and now its the former.

Look no further than the LA Chargers. That team is super talented, has a great young QB, but they never get "bailed out"

 

The line between good and bad in the NFL is so thin. It comes down to coaching, and preparation

 

Except for the Jets. They just suck

Assuming patricheats win tonight and are 3-5

 

next two are hosting Balt and at texans

buffalo has Cards then are off.

 

 

tie break order is

 

H2H buffalo cliched a tie

Division Buffalo is 4-0 vs Pats 1-1

third is common games or look st noncommin ehere Buffalo is 0-1withat titans, Pitt. New England has this two after the jets.  If they go 2-0 they lose this tiebreaker.

 

lets asdume after the by buffalo is 3 games ahead at 8-2 vs 5-5 or 7-3 vs 4-6. 

 

Basically NE needs to win out, have buffalo lose to Miami and lose another game. And Miami lose other games.

 

If he win both non common games then they lose tiebreaker 3.

 

buffalo can clinch the division in week 15 by being 3 up with 2 to play. In week15

 

if Miami beat New England, Miami beat Cincinnati, and NE beat Baltimore snd Houston then Buffalo clinches division 2 up with 2 games to play because they’d be tiedrecord, tied division record , but had better common games record. Those 2 would be 2-0 while buffalo has 1 loss.

OMG too easy.  He wrote the article on the old tower PC in his parents' basement where he keeps his shrine to the Mt Rushmore of Patsdom - Brady, Belichik, Gronk and Edelman.

 

They are all gone now but his fandom for all things Pats tells him they can still win the AFC East.  "Maybe Next Year" is his new meditation mantra.  Jets win tonight.

The Bills win did hurt their chances.

This guy writes about the Pats the way some Bills' writers did circa 2015!

 

Seriously, BB is just screwing with the league at this point. He plans to have the Pats lose 8 more games this season but "keep it close" in each one if possible. He's just angling for the next hot QB prospect because, as Bills' fans have seen, you rarely get a QB of high quality outside the top 10 in the draft (or usually the top 3). BB knows his career is coming to an end and he won't win another Super Bowl without a top flight QB. Free agent QBs have seen how he doesn't give QB's any help and will shy away from NE.

 

It starts with losing to the Jets tonight. A guy who will engaging in repeated spying of teams' practices and other misdeeds is not above "tanking" for one of the top 2 QBs in the 2021 draft. I can hear the mumbling during the press availability, "They're a well coached team and we have to avoid the mistakes. We don't have the depth we've had in recent years...mumble...mumble...mumble..."

[machine gun kelly]

Patriots will finish maybe 6-10.  That’s perfect.  Not high enough to get anything fantastic, but keeps them out of the Lawrence or other sweepstakes.  Couldn’t happen to a better team and go Pats tonight.  Please win!  The Jets are so far away from anything real, this is the best outcome.

 

There was no way they had a shot at the East.  We have a chance at 8-2, a chance.

[Generic_Bills_Fan]

Mathematics wise if we were 6-3 and the dolphins were removed from existence the pats would still have a chance lol idk how they were expecting to leapfrog two teams with the start they had though...you figure they beat the jets twice and they assumed they would beat us in the rematch and that could get them 2 or 3 games back into the race.  The dolphins very much do exist though 🤣

As long as Jones is calling the shots in Dallas they’re not going anywhere no matter who the QB is and the Jets are too inept to develop a QB and I highly doubt Lawrence would play for them. Hence why he might stay in school for 21

Probably correct although if Lawrence wins another national championship I think he would be crazy to wait out another year, way too much risk and as dysfunctional as the Jets are, they might be pick #1 again.  Being a rock star QB in NYC does have some incredible benefits and certainly media risk.

[streetkings01]

Our strength of schedule going forward is a little inflated due to the Steelers being undefeated. With that being said there isn’t a team on our schedule where you can mark down as a definite loss. 7 games left......2-5 finish probably still sneaks us into the playoffs, I say we come out of these next 7 games 5-2.

we did the same for 20 years. enjoy not being on that ride currently and let them count games back and come up with ridiculous scenarios 

[atlbillsfan1975]

They don’t know it yet, but they are done. Like we didn’t realize it after Jim retired. We kept thinking we can plug this player in or make this move. Nope. Once the team realizes they aren’t good, the Belichick mystique wears off and then it will get really ugly for them. I can’t wait!

Sounds good, but seems apples to oranges to me.  Before Belichick was Pete Carrol and Bill Parcells.  As long as the Kraft family owns that team they aren't going to look like the 2000's Bills.  We had an owner who was looking to run a business, not win a championship.  

They have a ton of cap room for next year, opt outs coming back and they're developing young players for depth this year.  Not sure what our cap and FA situation is, but they'll likely endure this year and be back in the mix next year.  They need a QB, which means they'll trade down in the draft and get DT and O-line... lol  Probably draft a QB in round 6.

I saw the last 5 minutes and made me sick to see the Pats win, as they historicaly had and i could tell sure as hell the players certainly wanted that win bad.  They players that really really sucked at the end was the numbskull Joe Flacco.  He takes a sack and two in completions allowing the PAts to kick a FG with three seconds left.  And Gregg Williams defensive play calling feel right into Josh McDaniels trap.

Almost as delusional as Keyshawn Johnson.  How that moron stays on TV/radio is beyond me.  He was talking about how the Bills barely beat the Dols...and then talks about how the Cheaters aren't finished despite barely beating the Jets.

Flacco's bomb attempt with a wide open guy underneath was definitely a numbskull move. A few first downs and they would have forced Cam to throw a lot of balls downfield...where bad things happen to him.

 

To misquote your moniker, Flacco was thinking, "All of these interceptions will be lost...like tears in the rain...Time to die".

He also threw an awful INT deep into double coverage when he had his TE wide open in the flat with nobody within 15 yards of him and he would have gained at least 30 on the play...

[Bob in STL]

The Jets did not execute one play correctly in the last five minutes.  Failure to run and use click, missed receivers under the deep coverage, bad defense, etc.  You could see and feel the choke.  Gase and Greggo are terrible leaders on a leaderless team.
