12/14/2025 GAMEDAY Bills at Patriots* Post Game Game Thread AFCE Battle

[dakarider17]

So Shakir had good game and 5 receptions.  
Palmer had 1 rec.

Coleman had 0 rec.

Cooks had 0 rec.

 

Do Bills have anyone else on the practice squad that can step in here?

Pats fans have their ref excuses ready (forget the fact that the refs absolutely screwed the Bills in the first matchup). The only really weak call IMO was the DPI against Coleman.

They got an offsetting penalty for their player throwing a punch ( who somehow wasn’t ejected) and the clock operator literally forgot to start the clock on their last play before halftime 😂. They have 0 leg to stand on

They made Maye look very beatable in the second half after the rest differential wore off. Good luck with Maye buddy. He might be the next Josh or he might be the next Kirk Cousins. Time will tell. 

Of course, nothing is a given. However, the kid is in year two and looks to be in his way to being a franchise QB. The Pats fans have a lot to be optimistic about.

this is Key.  You just can't look at an NFL play clock and figure a team out after only 2 quarters. 

 

The 2nd half heroics are amazing to witness. They are a bit hard on our fan psyche  though. Its quite a ride OMG twice in a row they have done this to us

 

Mercy!

 

LOL

 

Its crazy making I get it! But I love the Dub even more

I’m so mentally, emotionally and physically exhausted .  So much that I want to say, but I can’t put forth the effort.  Just a helluva team effort in the 2nd half.  McDermott really turned it around 

As much as I despised the first half play, totally accurate.   They don't stress when they're down, just adjust, then Josh lats the smack down.

Cooks was getting open tbh…Josh had him deep and just couldn’t step into the throw.  He did have that unfortunate bobble on the first drive but he’s a veteran and will normally catch those

If Cooks hauled in that bobbled pass, does that open the passing game more? Plays being called? Josh’s decisions?

Coleman should be deactivated for the rest of the year.  Davis and Cooks give the Bills everything he does and more.

Win out.  New England plays Baltimore next week.  Baltimore has had a disappointing season, but maybe they have enough to beat New England on a good day.  That would net the Bills a tie in the division.  I'm not sure what the next tie breaker is, probably division record, which goes to New England, I think.  New England's last game in the season is against Miami.  That's the next chance for New England to lose, albeit a small one.  Miami has not been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs yet so at least they're not among the bottom feeders at this point.

  

Baltimore doesn't matter unless we lose a game.  If we win out they (NE) need to lose one division game.

I thought the Bills got a few favorable penalties at very key moments. It's about time is my initial thought process. I'd be a little pis$ed off if I were a Pats fan.

Gabe Davis coming back…

It's only a matter of time before Diggs starts tearing in to Maye the way he did Josh. Then the wheels are gonna really come off

oh for F sake,  Cooks bobbled a pass RIGHT in his hands, then stopped on a route downfield that Josh was throwing to him running.  He's Garbage

Vrable still out coached Mcdermott, however he didnt have an answer for 17 when 17 went Superman mode and 17 won the game, not Mcdermott and Vrable didnt lose the game, 17 won it.

I’m curious why you say Vrabel outcoached McD?

 

Did McD coach Bishop to take a bad angle on first long TD?

Or did McD coach stripes not to call holding on second long TD?

The general concern makes sense and is definitely valid for sure but they just played like that today against the 1/2 seed coming off a bye in a playoff atmosphere game in which Mack hollins was high pointing balls in the first half  and still won on the road to be fair lol 

 

People are talkin like we just did it against some mediocre team which may be true but if this pats team is mediocre so is the whole afc field 

it’s concerning but I don’t really know who’s putting them away after a bad half on the afc side…maybe the ravens if they put it together? 

 

Get down 24-7 against Houston and it’s lights out. That defense is terrifying.

No reason at all to play Keon over Gabe.

I'll politely disagree.  Baltimore is a very physical team. Pats will get banged up.  And let's have them stack a few L's and see how they play when the Bills are tied for them in the W column.

Not really imo…the biggest one of all didn’t even matter because Shakir caught the ball with joint possession anyway.  The dpi on that play was definitely soft but didn’t matter. Coleman dpi was 100% the right call.  They’re grasping at straws
