Maybe.

 

On his last throw of the game he heaved everything he could muster from his 45 and it barely got to the Buffalo 5. That's pretty bad by NFL QB standards  if your best power throw can only go 50 yards. 

 

Or maybe I'm just spoiled with our Mutant Cyborg Terminator QB😂

 

At one point, Josh threw one away. The announcer said he "tossed it," and he was right. The thing is, the ball went about 40 yards in the air on that nonchalant "toss."

well...i suppose you do hear about rookie burnout towards the end of their first pro season.  the season is longer than it is in college, and the body has trouble keeping up.  maybe his arm is getting a bit worn out, and there isn't wiggle room there to begin with.  even better for the bills if they meet again in the playoffs.  

 

 

This is a decent point, I think.  While I've resolved not to "worry" about whom the Bills face in the playoffs, lining up against the Pats*** again would be fine.

I don't agree,  this game is a blowout if our defence got stops and every time we scored they would let the Pats roll down the field to score.  The defence was average at best and no question the offence carried us to victory.

 

Average defenses don't hold teams to under 300 yards total offense and 1/10 on 3rd downs.

 

But you are right...the Bills average allowing 287.9 yards per game. So by THEIR measure it was average. To most other teams in the league it would have been one of their best performances of the year.

 

Simply trying way too hard.

And Schopp thinking he is so superior and intellectual.

I don't usually listen to the post game show, but tuned in yesterday and my God, Schopp is an absolutely awful host for that type of format.  I actually don't mind him for the most part during his daily show, but he is the wrong guy to have on the radio after a big Bills win like that.  Hearing him took all the sails out of my wind.

I'm not a guy who checks out other team message boards, but I am taking extra time this morning to soak up the win.  I am off today and I just want to marinate in this feeling for a little bit longer.  That lead me to this quote in the Pats forum:

 

 

Think for a moment what makes this quote so sweet.  I don't believe very many people actually think Mac is injured in any real way.  I certainly didn't see anything to lead to that conclusion.  They are grasping for hopeful explanations on why some of his throws looked so bad...

 

Guys with injured ankles and legs don't tend to run around much...I concur.

I distinctly remember that shot of BB and thinking his lips are about to utter the f-word. Along with last season's phone slam, these are two priceless images.

 

But credit where credit is due, he hugged and whispered in Allen's ear so at least he didnt come across as a sore loser. It is rightful for him to feel pi$$ed at getting his rear handed to him in his house.

Hot take: their coach letting him throw only 3 times because it was windy outside may have undermined his confidence and the confidence his teammates had in him.  They’re 0-2 since.

the one thing I will say is that I was surprised that Mac was wearing these bionic metal Knee braces. He looked like part robot. 

[CodeMonkey]

To me it came down to 2 main reasons the Bills came out on top:

1) Josh Allen >>>>>>>>>>>> Brady 2.0.  At least right now, but we remember what Josh looked like his rookie season as well.  

2) Bills secondary > Pats secondary.  For example the Pats secondary dropped a couple balls that should have been intercepted.  Bills secondary as usual took good advantage of their opportunities.

 

Oh and I almost forgot, McKenzie was a freaking beast

They won’t be…but New England fans should pretty content.

 

they split the season series with buffalo

have the same record

probably will make playoffs

with the 5th QB selected rookie in the draft.

 

Go back to August…

 

11-6 with Mac Jones.  
1.) who wouldn’t take it

2.) who would believe it

 

They are ahead of schedule by most team narratives.

I think the Bills D needs to do better and not expect our offence to go the whole game without punting to win.  If we had any struggles on offence in that second half there is a good chance we could have lost this game .  

 

Remember part of the reason why Pats only had so many yards is because the Bills controlled the clock with time consuming drives with 35 mins of total game time.  How many 4th downs did the Pats covert yesterday? (5 of 6) and part of the reason why they had less then 300 yards was they only had the ball for 24 mins. Again we cannot expect our offence to play flawless. no punts at all

They also have the GOAT coach, a brilliant OC that's been running the same system for 13 years, and a free agency bankroll of about a billion dollars prior to drafting "MJ10".  The bar for Mac and NE ought to be a tad higher than take your lumps and get'em next year.  The ruthlessness they showed to Stidham was the best decision they made besides buying a QB friendly offense for Mac to snuggle with.

[DCofNC]

Let’s be straight, they have a rookie QB and a system built for him to not be exposed much.  The Bills have an elite QB and a questionable system with a complete trash O-Line in front of him.  Sometimes, their system will win, most times, we are going to kick their balls in.  
 

The National Media was ALL over Allen’s nuts last year, now it’s going to swing back if he keeps playing like this, you will here about the “ProBowl Snub” giving him the “motivation” to win.  The reality is, he’s been over motivated all year, he FINALLY, took what was there and got rid of the ball. I do t know if that’s him or Daboll or both, but if he does that, the team is much harder to defend.  His running lanes will be wide open, his deep shots will open up and some of those short throws will end in chunk plays, not to mention the play action game will open up and the run game will improve, also the OL will appear better simply bc they do t have to block for so long.   He and Maholmes are one in the same really, if they take the easy stuff, the crazy ***** is a great bonus, if they force it all the time, they are going to struggle.

Macaroni Jones in 2 games vs. Buffalo: 188 total yards (combined passing/running), 0 TDs, 2 INTs

 

Josh Allen in 2 games vs. NE: 562 total yards, 4 TDS, 0 INTs

 

That's a BITTER PILL for NE fans to swallow.

Based on all the Pre-Season predictions I think if anyone said Patriots would lose division to Buffalo on Week 1 lose to Miami tie-breaker.  You would have been laughed out of building for giving Nee England that much credit.

Exactly.  They are the Chad Pennington New York Jets.  Enjoy the occasional wild card and winning 1/4 against the Bills for the next 10 years (if they stick with Macaroni).

I listen to Simmons a lot.  He's a great writer, and his pods are entertaining.

 

He's always kind of fallen back on the idea that BB has always owned the Bills, and the Pats will always beat Buffalo in big games as long as he's their coach. 

 

I think it's starting to dawn on both him & many Pats fans that division titles aren't a "just add water" thing anymore.  McD is a good coach, Allen is a great QB, and they're going to have to fight (and probably get some breaks) if they want to be on top again anytime soon.

As another famous Pats fan -- Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports -- said yesterday: "I hate the Bills for the first time in 20 years".

We have been the little brother they've (easily) bullied for two decades. I don't blame them for thinking that the bullying would continue indefinitely. The problem is, we have Josh Allen and they don't. Now THEY get to see what it's like to go against an elite QB twice a year for the forseeable future. I hope they enjoy it exactly as much as Bills fans enjoyed the past 20 years of this rivalry.

This is a game losers play.  You can also say, well Sanders dropped a TD in the endzone he probably would have caught in other years.  Or Daryl William wouldn’t have been called for the penalty that took the first Knox off the board.  
 

The problem is….it DIDN’T happen.

Thanks @DefenseWinsfor the post.  I enjoyed hearing a realistic conversation about the Pats*.

One thing that I took away is the points made about things that didn't go right with the past FA the Pats* just had.

Comments about Jonnu Smith being a bust and Agholor (both who are going to eat a lot of cap next season) were enlightening.

Hightower (an UFA next season) reaching the end of his usefulness was interesting too.

NE still having WR problems after trying to address it was also mentioned.

 

It brings up something I have been watching and that's NE*'s FAs this coming season.

Devin McCourty, JC Jackson, Adrian Phillips, Dont'a Hightower, Trent Brown, Alex Karras to name a few.

 

For all the "critical" posting that goes on here (and a lot of it justified) it's good to see it goes on everywhere especially with a division rival.

NE* has a lot of work to do to get better and that is just a fact.

Someone called WGR this morning and bragged that they called WEEI (Boston Sports Radio) and made a bet.  If the Pats one, he had to shave an eyebrow.   But of course the Bills won and this fellow was so proud he wont he bet, what did he win?   Anyone care to guess?

 

 

$50 to the SPCA...LOL come on WNY we can do better than that...who is shaving their eyebrow for $50, should have been at least 4 digits, either way, this clown lost.  $50 to the SPCA buys a bag of food maybe...but if he lost he woulda looked like an idiot for months.
