    Bills getting belted by Pats. Not surprised. Vrabel’s always had physical teams that McDermott can’t match.

      The Bills are making a game of it now. They are a much better 2nd half team, all year long.

      Edit: Holy shit, they pulled it off

        Holyshit yeah they won. I know like Bills struggled against Vrabel’s Titans even when they were shitty. Vrabel has physical teams and that’s what this Pats team is and McDermott’s defense usually struggles against that. Wow I’m shocked. have to watch replay.

          I should watch the Patriots more often. Every time I do, they aren’t exactly playing up to the Evil Empire supposedly being back moniker.

            I watched them beat Bills in Buffalo earlier. They were physical and defense was stifling. I didn’t watch this game but it was a tale of 2 halves. Still a close game took a miracle for Bills to win here. They will have some form of home field advantage in playoffs and are in the running for #1 seed in AFC. It’s impossible for Bills to win AFCEast.

              The Bills still have a chance at that, however slim. I will laugh a big, big belly laugh if the Pats lose the division by losing that last game to the Jets.

                Yeah probabilities are slim though. Pats will need all the wins to try and get #1 seed in AFC. They may still get it because Broncos have a tougher schedule - chiefs, chargers and jags whereas for Pats its ravens, jets and fins.

              Tale of two halves because the refs decided to inject themselves in the game and suddenly call everything against the patriots and everything for the bills.

                  Josh Allen wishes he could hold Brady’s jock. But I guess if that’s the trade off— Brady’s 6 rings to Josh Allen’s regular season wins, so be it. I’ll take that deal.

                    Your bitterness is sweet to Bills’ fans ears I’m sure. I haven’t seen the game so I can’t agree or disagree about the calls but 7 penalties aren’t all that much when Bills dominated Pats in the 2nd half. I’m quite sure it wasn’t refs who were doing the blocking tackling running and scoring 4 touchdowns for Bills.
