12/1/2022 - NFL Week #13 - Bills at Pats* - Post game thread

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

If I had a complaint, we really need Von out there for the playoffs. Good pressure by our guys, but couldn’t really close the deal on some easy potential sacks. Obviously a guy like Mahomes makes you pay for that.

I need it ... The team could probably use it too.

I had 2 heart attacks in the Lions game.  Was close when NE almost got the 1st on 3rd and 452 early in the game.  1 yard short, 451 yards

F***.  Phillips in a sling?  Not good.

Also chucked the ball after that sack at Epenesa

 

He's a bigger crybaby than Brady was/is.

Bills looked like the superior team from the beginning......it took a little longer to pull away than it should have, but the outcome of the game was obvious by the end of the first quarter, IMO.

 

Pretty much. I had no nerves going into the game. No nerves during the game and was pretty much sitting down calm all game.

 

Patriots are not on our level. Honestly not even really close.

Just rewatched the Hamlin hit in end zone. 
 

By rule, the roughness call may be correct. But ejection was a bad call. 
 

Here’s what happens. 
Pat WR catches ball in air, returns to ground. 
Then, he lowers his head, as he is anticipating Hamlin hit. 
So he’s NOT really defenseless. Makes a move to protect himself by getting lower. 
 

Problem was, by getting lower, he ducks his head right into Hamlins shoulder pad. 
 

If he hadn’t ducked, Hamlin shoulder would have hit his chest, not his head. 
 

Hamlin didn’t lead with helmet. 
Hamlin didn’t launch. 
Bad call.

How about everyone’s favorite whipping boys— Dane Jackson and Isaiah McKenzie? 
 

Both guys had great games!!

Agree......don't understand the ejection there. I've seen much worse hits than that where the player was not ejected.

Hopefully he's okay 🙏

Mac Jones?  No doubt.  I can't stand Brady, but Mac Jones is a straight up B word

The AfterGlow:

 

1. Von who?  I kid. 

2. That drive of 94 yards won the game for Buffalo

3. There was evidence of a run game tonight. 
4. Shame that TD bomb to Diggs was called back. 
5. Two more significant injuries.  I think.  Knox and maybe Phillips. 
6. Cook’s game is coming around. 
7. Dink and Dunk won the night. 
8. I’m in the Hamlin was wrongly accused camp. 
9. A rushing TD.  Yeah. 
10. 3-0 in Foxboro and 3-0 on Thursday night.  

Knox was back in the game late in the 4th quarter .. so he may be fine

I will reserve judgment on Phillips until i hear from all the twitter doctors.

Not the most exciting game, but Bills were pretty much in total control after their first TD.

They probably feel like they’re OK after the game.  They have immense amounts of adrenaline coursing through their bodies.  A lot of the pain come from inflammation and swelling, and those processes haven’t gotten rocking yet.

 

McDermott isn’t just brushing the press off when he tells them Monday he’ll know more on Wednesday

[Success]

This game, the playoff game, the 2nd regular season game last year - it's exactly what the Pats used to do to the Bills.  Just being a better team, marching down the field, scoring - and there is nothing the other team can do about it.

 

That game was so much more dominant than the score indicated.  We doubled the TOP.  The greatest coach of all time didn't have a single answer. 

 

Feels good, man.

Maybe not exciting, but it was a beautiful domination. I'll take that every day for Bills games.

I mean it worked but it was an odd play from the get-go.

 

Allen escapes well before protection broke down, but did not have a lot of open routes to pick from. They ran 3 receivers into the same middle area which meant they were all effectively surrounded and negated by 5 defenders. They ran a rub to free Knox, but that route is too shallow, rounds off at the 7 yrd line, and with a defender that has the angle to stop it short of the goal line and its 3rd and goal.

They have Hines in the backfield, but kept him in to block rather than chip and release as an outlet option or receiving option in the backside flat to draw a defender or maybe beat that 1:1 to the pylon.

 

Ended up needing a super Allen play and he pulled it off.

I worked with one.  Could get along great.  But when it came to Football, the guy was totally clueless.  One of those I would bet couldn't name 3 players on the whole team

We’ve seen Allen do these rollouts to the right and throw a dart just before going out of bounds so many times that it almost feels like a routine play and it just isn’t. I hope I never take his talent for granted.

My wife has had two chances to transfer to that area for her job at huge salary raises and I vetoed that move both times. Nothing and I mean nothing could get me to move to that area and be subjected to those people.
