3 Turnovers

Screwed by the refs all night 

Patriots/Diggs Superbowl 

Several miracle plays by Maye

 

And they beat us by three 

 

We were not screwed by the refs, all of the calls against us were the correct calls except for the hold on Kincaid.

They could lose against the Saints this week only -3.5 favorite.

I think if this season has proven anything it’s that any team can lose to anyone in this league. 
 

Last night was a messy penalty filled game on both sides. (As a Pats fan I still wanna slap that fool that hit your RB after he was down and ruined a great play)  Both teams made dumb mistakes and both lost key players rather early (Milano for the Bills and Gibson for NE) Overall I don’t think either team gave their A game..

Sure!

That first half was as miserable. Turnovers and refs made O rhythm impossible. The first half gave me  PTSD to the drought games—where scores were routinely 9 to 6.

You all think life is rough not having been to, or won a SB despite some fantastic Bills seasons with Josh Allen.  Wait until Maye/Vrabel win a SB or two down the road.  Ugh, I think i will have to give up football if that happens.

Well what calls did the refs make that were wrong?  They showed replays of most of them and the refs did makes the correct calls.  The Bills screwed themselves, it wasn't the refs.

It takes a great coach to win a SB.  Vrabel might be a great coach.  We know McD isn't, and has an unfortunate record of showing up small in the biggest games

I remember the same chatter when the Patriots beat us in a hurricane. 
 

You’d think the Bills are 2-3 with the reactions here today. There isn’t a team that has less losses than we do. Go out and breathe some fresh air. The weather is about to take a turn.

Maye was the absolute last QB i ever wanted to see in the AFCEast........the dude was a stud in college and i knew he would transition well in the NFL

The defensive coordinators continue to write the book on how to defend Maye.  We will see how things go as they year(s) goes on.  The great QB's always seem to overcome whatever is being schemed against them.  He looked very good last night, especially 2nd half.  We will see how it goes but yeah it could be a battle, and I hated even more when they hired Vrabel because he's a damn good coach.

.........exactly.

 

And add in that they gave Maye a legit true WR1 and WR2, a competent OC and are giving him something to work with. Vrabel is doing things right in NE and we are in for some rough roads ahead in our division with the Pats.

Along with this thread about the Pats being back. What about the Broncos. Impressive win yesterday at Philly. The defense is legit, and Nix looks like a good QB. I get the NFL is a week-to-week league, but the Broncos might be the team to take the AFCW from the Chiefs. I am not counting the Chargers out either despite yesterday's collapse against the Commanders.

The teams with younger QBs seem to be the ones surging this year (Pats, Broncos, Chargers, Colts even). The Bills are in the older/missed the window class. Should have cashed in by now, but instead we'll be staring up at New England again. Just like old times!

[frostbitmic]

The pats are a 9-8 team at best. Last night our team looked ugly, played ugly and beat ourselves.

I get the Bills to win the AFC and you get all the teams you mentioned. Bet?

Have you looked at NE's schedule? They are likely getting to minimum 10 games BEFORE winning last night. If they get a couple of bounces, they could end up with 11/12 wins.

I think the pats are solid and I like Maye.

 

that said, I actually came away a little less impressed with the Pats. I thought Maye looked better last year in the pocket when we played them.

Yes, let's all be thrilled with our 5 straight AFC East titles and continued exit from the playoffs, while the team continues to pour assets into the D, with zero return, while also neglecting the WR position. That'll work out great. Being a realist isn't "crying".
