So that's what, the second time this year a Brady comeback happened because a team didn't stick to what was working? That Monday Night Saints game where they're running down clock and they throw a slant on 3rd and inches that falls incomplete, and last night, the fumble on a 3rd and 1 pitch when Connor was running very well and wasn't on the field that play. I'm sure Brady is getting gushing coverage today for needing overtime to beat a 3rd string QB and like the Saints game, not much will be said about their opponent just completely melting down and forgetting about basic football.
Still, if the Panthers can beat them next week, they move into first place with a H2H tiebreaker for sweeping the Bucs, so one can hope?

If chargers and colts had taken care of business the afc games would of been so much better.
Not only that, but two of the Sunday games weren't really worth watching, the only game I thought that had a chance to be good was 49ers/Cowboys, so I decided to put my energy and time into that game.

Also, the way the announcers talk about Mac Jones you'd think the Patriots had won 47-17 and not the other way around, good lord...

If the Bills can't get a first down, go for it on 4th down! Don't bring the punter out!

Another question. What happened to the Bills CB T. White? He is among the best corners but I don't see him playing today.
Got hurt in that Saints game on Thanksgiving, tore his ACL I believe.

Also, this Bills team was more or less dead in the water after that loss to the Patriots, they were 2 games behind the Patriots in the division and were barely clinging onto a playoff spot. Although they lost in OT to the Bucs the week after I felt much better in the team after that game, where they came all the way back to force OT and were a ref call or two away from winning it.
Also, kudos to the Colts for snapping the Pats' winning streak and helping get the Bills back into the division race, that loss to the Colts set that game up in Foxboro the week after...

Also, I'm sure I just jinxed the team, but the Bills haven't punted in a Patriots game since that wind-driven game in Buffalo, pretty crazy.
-
Can the Steelers pretty please win tomorrow so the Bills can be at home next round (I think they'd either be @ KC or vs CIN next week).

LOL! Someone threw something pretty interesting on to the field
Was it the same object that was thrown onto the field in 2016 that a ref kicked off the field since he didn't want to put his hands on it?

Nah.
I should travel to Buffalo for that game. It is an 8 hour drive each way. That is too much.
Did you go to the last Vikings-Bills game in Buffalo? It was 2014, Bills won on a literal last second TD to Sammy Watkins, after converting something like a 4th and 20 on the drive, Kyle Orton was the Bills QB.

Lol. You should have traded for Diggs when we had him. We won't let go of JJ.
Vikings come to Buffalo next year, you can kindly rest him that game.

Is Leslie Frazier, former Vikes head coach, credited with helping this defense or is McDermott in charge of the defense?
Hm, not sure about that, I know McDermott came from a defensive background (as the Panthers DC when we hired him), Frazier's been with the team since McDermott was hired, so maybe both?

Bills with a running game should scare everyone. Titans are the happiest knowing they will only play one of the Bills or Chiefs
Chiefs might lose again to the Bills.
Eh, I'm pretty worried about that game should it happened, when the Bills beat the Chiefs earlier in the season it was when the Chiefs were struggling, the Chiefs look like they're back to their usual selves now. Not only that, but not having Tre'Davious White would really hurt against a team like the Chiefs.
Just keep them out of the endzone, don't want back to back TDs here...

Allen is incredible
It was weird, a lot of people (myself included) weren't all that excited about the pick in 2018, and he was pretty bad his rookie year, and that year it looked like like the Bills were returning to the darkness of the NFL for a while. 2019 they make the playoffs but was largely the defense that got them there, Allen was average at best that season. Then last season happens and he just cranked it up 10 notches, I don't think his improvement last year was on anyone's bingo card.
There was a Raiders game last year where he got hurt and came out for a play, it was probably the first time my heart skipped a few beats over something happening to him...

Bills are exercising years of frustrations against the Pats and I love it.
That's the feeling I got when I went to the game in Foxboro a couple weeks ago, the Bills played like they were not leaving that building without a win, if they had to murder somebody for the W they would've.
Still a ways to go, and the Patriots get the ball after halftime...

Yeah, Bills are losing this game.
Gives up a 3rd and 14 and a 3rd and 10 on one drive.
Time for the Patriots to finish this drive with a touchdown.

Nope the taunting was after he scored the touchdown. As he was getting up he said something to the defender. I am not an expert on the rules so I am not sure why they took the touchdown away because of it.
Reading more into it I guess they ruled he never actually scored, here's a screenshot of his knee being down at the 1 but he was never touched and didn't give himself up, so the TD should have still counted, right?
-
I didn't get to see the Bills on TV today (we were slated to get the game but the local TV stations around here decided that Brady beating up a bad Jets team was more important than airing the game featuring a team tied with the Patriots for first in the division), but why did Matt Ryan's TD get overturned with the taunting call? Did the taunt happen before the TD?
Also, Mac Jones and the Patriots beat up the Jaguars, so be prepared to hear the people around here crown 1,243,675,643,257 Lombardi Trophies to the Patriots for that and to award Mac Jones all of Brady's passing records for it.

One other tidbit I learned from yesterday that you guys would definitely like, the Bills were the first team since the 05 and 06 Colts to win in Foxboro in back-to-back years.
Hm, I wonder what happened to that Colts team that won in Foxboro in the second year...

Experiencing Patriots lose a game at Foxboro must be delightful! Congrats!
It was great, some Bills fan who sat like 10 rows behind me at the end of the game took a random selfie with me lol. Also saw some Bills fan after the game walking around in shorts, it was 40 during the game (which is decent weather for this time of year), but I imagine he himself was from Buffalo where 40 degree weather in December is dangerous, life-threatening heat.
I will admit, I think this was a more impressive win than the Chiefs game earlier in the year, I still think that was a great win (Bills played very well in that game) but part of the win was also the Bills being fortunate and catching the Chiefs at their low point in the season, the Chiefs have been back to their normal selves since (would have almost zero confidence winning that game again if held today). The Bills came in today with their backs against the wall (a loss would have clinched the division for the Patriots) and with the awful taste of the Patriots loss a few weeks back still stuck in their mouths and played their tails off. I saw more aggressiveness from the Bills in this game than I'd see in an entire season, the Bills teams of old would have been settling for field goals and not touchdowns when getting down to the 2-yard line or needing 1 yard to move the chains and with a playing not to lose mentality, I saw none of that at the game.
If the Bills win out they win the division regardless of the Patriots do, they just need to take advantage of what is a favorable schedule to close out the season (home against the Falcons and Jets).

I saw 42-7 and thought the game was over. Then I saw it was halftime
The game feels like it's going so painfully slow, I'm wanting the game to end just for the local news to come on after where I get to see the sports people completely just tee off on the Patriots today (I'll also be listening to Boston sports talk radio tomorrow, so I'm sure they'll be off to the races about this game). Yes, these are the little things that provide me a reason to live.

Just got back from the Bills/Patriots game, was shocked at how bad the Pats D was. They didn't force a single punt on the Bills the entire game and their one stop was on 4th down at the 1 yard line! (And that was more of the Bills being dumb with playcalling than anything).
It's the second time the Bills have won a game at Foxboro that I've been at, the other one was a meaningless Week 17 W in 2014 (Bills were eliminated from the playoffs, Pats had #1 seed locked up and sat their starters at halftime).

So are the Saints to Brady's Bucs as the Dolphins were to Brady's Patriots? Granted, the Dolphins never swept a Tom Brady-led Patriots team (and the Saints have now done it twice), but the Patriots almost always had a late season loss to the Dolphins that would outright kill them in playoff seeding (2015 Week 17 loss cost them HFA to the Broncos, 2019 Week 17 loss at home cost them a first round bye to the eventual SB-winning Chiefs).
Where would the Bucs stand with the Packers on tiebreakers? Common opponents? Kind of funny since the Bucs finished 2nd in the division last year they avoided playing last year's division winners (Seahawks and Packers) this year.

If that Titans game had happened a few weeks after I bet Taylor gets the ball in overtime. That game was like rivers last year against browns. After that game rivers played within the game plan and didn’t take stupid chances. We will know after Thursday what a AZ win will mean. I think SF wins. Boss will destroy Tannehill. Then they have dolphins which won’t be easy. Dolphins defense is playing really well.
A loss against AZ could move us clear out of the playoff picture again if other teams win. We really need to win that game. Hopefully AZ continues to struggle saturday.
Steelers in KC I feel good KC will win. Which will help. Pats play bills so root fot pats to give bills another loss.
You shouldn't need to cheer for the Patriots, if the Bills win they'd actually be leading the division (they'd have a division record tiebreaker over the Patriots), and you'd be ahead of the Patriots in the standings with a H2H tiebreaker on them.

NFL Opening Week 2023 Game Thread

Am I the only one who never got impressed with Daniel Jones? I feel like so many in the media gushed over his performance last year but I felt like every time I saw him on TV, he wilted under the slightest bit of adversity. Not sure how he hoodwinked the Giants into that contract, but I wasn't looking forward to this Giants/Cowboys game and did other stuff while leaving the TV on. And it sounds like we have several more primetime games ahead of us with him in them! It's like all the times we had to see Russell Wilson score 9 points on primetime last year!
