    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.

                  No, but it was them selectively calling holding calls whenever the patriots got a 3rd down stop. Watch the game, you’ll see

                  Can confirm. My exact words when that particular PI call happened was “Hey, I thought ticky-tack calls like that only happened to us!”

                  I’ll take it though. We have a lot of cosmic karma built up over the years. I will go to my grave insisting that it was the “Music City Forward Lateral”. And if the Bills do go to the Super Bowl this year, they better put trackers on everyone’s helmets to make sure they don’t lose track of where they are.
