But they were not that quick at all. There was plenty of time.

 

And I have no idea how it works, but does it really depend HC to look at some screen on the stadium? I've always thought that teams pay someone who sits in front of TV screen and tells HC to throw a flag... 

 

They did get there quick as I recall.

 

Per McD stadium screen only showed the play as it happened and he thought it was close.  
 

Yes, I believe there is a person who sits and watches for challenges. McD said a replay was not made available in time.

 

Sometimes, gotta go with the gut.

They have no case after the Hochuli game.

 

I do understand some of their gripes today - but nothing was egregious.

 

The Shakira catch was certainly weird. I didn’t think it was good live.

That bum Matt Ryan said not a bad loss for NE. He knows a thing or two about a bad loss in games involving NE.

I still have PTSD from that SB.  I was at a SB party and literally ended up standing by myself in another room slowing losing my mind.  People mostly left me alone but checked on me periodically to make sure I was OK

The HC balled out in the 2nd half too.  NE had one run and nothing else.  McDs defense ***** then down and made a comeback possible.

 

josh deserves the flowers, but McD contributed in a big way keeping this team together after being down 21-0.  

Without Allen the play of D in the second half is pointless. Yeah he made adjustments and the D played a lot better but WTF are they in this situation week after week. I look back at our schedule and we face 4 really good QBs playing at a high level, Lamar, Baker, Mahommes(?), Burrow and Maye. All of them except Mahommes made our first half D look like Swiss Cheese.  Turning the blind eye to another problem on this team because the final score.

Beating the Pats today is soooooo beautiful especially living in New England. 

are you going to hang at the water cooler and be like, hey you know we almost had them but that damn Josh Allen and the bills, they let me down.

 

I was, you know, basing this off your "predict the score" take

 

 

"Pats 21 -12 Bills

 

Maye has Brady DNA

 

Genetic blends

with uncertain ends

On a fortune hunt that's far too fleet"

 

enjoy your monday morning in beautiful new england!

My question is why didn’t replay assist step in. It was obvious once you saw the end zone angle that the ground helped him catch and certainly NY saw the replay first

Isn’t that why we pay John Perry does he not ever have a live TV at least ? It’s huge play in first half throw the challenge!

And without the D in the 2nd half, Allen is pointless.  This is such a stupid argument.  Allen played great.  The D played great. The ST played great.  
 

Obviously Josh is our franchise and we aren’t much without him, but this discrediting everything but Josh Allen is ridiculous.  The D balled out the entire 2nd half minus one play.  They deserve their flowers too

It looked good, but cameras showed what believe to be incomplete. 
 

I get the gamesmanship to go quick, and it worked there.

The bills don’t have a pass rusher worth much right now. They can either use their scheme to rush the passer, play some, or stack against the run .

Josh is now 4-0 when his defence lets up 30 plus points. Other QBs before this week when the other team lets up 30 plus points? 6-66

Sure the defence was a lot better in the 2nd half, but in totality it's still a horrible performance by them . So Josh def bailed him out againnnn lol

They snapped the ball with 21 seconds on the play clock. It was quick, but not quick enough. I was fully expecting red flag on the field cause it seemed that ball hit the ground even from the bad angle they showed first.

They will err on the side of caution that early in the game. I thought it was iffy live.

How was the Pats "fans" experience?

Unfortunately, I left the bar at halftime. I couldn't take the and hooting and cheering. But this is Maine, where the fans are a lot more human than in Boston. 

[SageAgainstTheMachine]

Bills with 7 straight double digit win seasons.

Yes they used on Cooks accurately against J Cook inaccurately but didn’t use it on the biggest play for Pats.. Pats fans complaining about refs. 😆 they actually god for bid were called for actual penalties.. Bills got huge hold and responded with Josh to 88. All this despite TV coverage with the over on Bob Kraft pan shots as they did at highmark. As if Pegs doesn’t exist. And it’s conspiracy🤷🏻‍♂️.. that’s priceless 😂

I thought they were quick to the snap and I’m just quoting McD also when he says they did without enough of a look.

 

End all, play didn’t matter. We won.

One thing my wife and I both noticed is how much Vrabel is constantly complaining to the refs.  He appears to be a whiner and complainer.  Literally on every play.  
 

that’s obnoxious and it was on display today 

The height of his arrogance was when he marked off the spot where the Bills’ 1st half punt went OOB at the Pats’ 15 yard line. He’s tough to take.
