RunTheBall Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 My seats were in the end zone, so I can't give a lot of player evaluations since those of you watching on TV got better angles to view the plays with. 1) Gillette Stadium is a really nice facility. Very clean, good sight lines, but there was a tremondous traffic jam of people waiting to get in which I've never seen at the Ralph. Most expensive tickets in the nation, and 2 Coors Lights cost 15 bucks! 2) Patriots fans are pathetic, as we already knew. They were booing halfway through the first quarter and all through the second. This was the tamest end zone I've ever been in, and I've been in a lot of stadiums. 3) Whether you agree with going for it on 4th and 1 instead of kicking the field goal or not, there is no question at all that at that moment, it was the turning point in the game. You could feel it in the stadium, if that makes any sense. 4) The refs didn't lose this game for us, we were just outplayed when the chips were down in the trenches. The Pats sucked it up and got the hard yards on the ground and Buffalo's lines folded. 5) Whitner and Ko Simpson can play. Moorman sucked, but the guy is allowed a bad game every now and then. 6) Seeing a B2 stealth bomber fly low right over your head puts chills down your spine. 7) The best halftime show I've ever seen. About 50 fresh NE national guardsmen taking their pledge to serve the country. That was classy. If you told me we'd be into the 4th quarter with 9 minutes to play tied at 17 (before the game) I would have taken that in a heartbeat. I'm encouraged by what I saw but disappointed in the results.

Mantis Toboggan M.D Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 thats bs that the bills didnt get hosed by refs... Donte Whitner clearly did not step out of bounds. Some of the calls for illegal blocks in the back were very weak calls. Patriots also got several generous ball spots. Saying that the refs did not screw us over is false. That being said. McGahee sucks as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunTheBall Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 You can't keep blaming the refs when our team loses, even though I agree that the calls will go the Pats way 99% of the time. That being said, if our team stepped up in the trenches when we needed it, we would have won the game. When the Pats needed 4th and 1, they got it twice.

Corp000085 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 did the bills play well enough to win, yes. did the refs screw the bills on some calls, yes did the bills play well enough to overcome the screwjob, no. when they learn to overcome the unfavorable calls, they won't get them anymore.

RunTheBall Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 Did you take much heat from the Patsie trolls in attendance? 768553[/snapback] It was kind of weird actually, the only flack I caught was from a chick sitting behind me who wanted me to sit down, in the END ZONE hahaha. I'm not an obnoxious fan, especially in another team's stadium. I like to enjoy a good football game even if we lose, but certainly prefer to win. I wasn't decked out in Bills gear, just had on a Bills sweatshirt. I got the impression that I knew more about NE's team than most of the fans sitting around me from the conversations I had. It was an enjoyable experience, I really had no problems at all with their fans. I thought it was hilarious when they started booing in the first quarter and all through the second though.

Hollywood Donahoe Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 thats bs that the bills didnt get hosed by refs... Donte Whitner clearly did not step out of bounds. There was a block in the back on that play. It was coming back anyway. Still doesn't explain why they blew the whistle, but it didn't affect anything in the least.

MadBuffaloDisease Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Funny they were able to see Clements get his hands on the back of a Pats' jersey and moments later saw that Whitner stepped out of bounds when he wasn't even close.

Golden Wheels Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 4) The refs didn't lose this game for us, we were just outplayed when the chips were down in the trenches. The Pats sucked it up and got the hard yards on the ground and Buffalo's lines folded. 768262[/snapback] Bingo. Their defense got the job done when it was necessary.

We're just lucky they also didn't give the ball back to the Pats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
