The Bills should be folded at this point. If they aren't going to bother trying to win games anymore why stay in the league?

How are the ABC folks making this out to be a great Pats win?

I guess it fits in with their need to suck the Pats off but they did nothing to get the win it was all on Buffalo.

Moderately epic fail.

kaddy · 09-14-2009, 08:14 PM

Stupid Bills......

The Pats got lucky!

Flickered Flame · 09-14-2009, 08:14 PM

Hopefully the Raiders can put up a good fight vs the Chargers.

Well if you weren't so biased you would notice that it took a nice strip of the football by 2 Patriot players to force the fumble. One guy held the Buff player up and the other stripped the ball. Teams are presented with chances like that all the time but only the good ones can capitalize.

I'm not even a Pats fan but you're insane hatred towards them forced me to say something! Finding a way to win often involves being presented with an opportunity and then capitalizing on it. Not to mention Brady was dominant in his last 2 drives.

Well you have to give the Patriots some credit, the touchdown drive when down 24-13 was the key, the Buffalo defense didn't step up. The fumble was a bonehead decision but Patriots had to be within one possession to take advantage and they did.

What are these coaches doing? Shouldn't the coaches the tell their players, if it ball goes into the end zone, don't run it out.. yell it out!

SteveToms · 09-14-2009, 08:17 PM

Cool, The Pats won.

OILFAN #81 · 09-14-2009, 08:17 PM

At 24-19, I knew the turnover was coming. I actually thought New England would get an INT and then score and win. Absolutely stupid play by McKelvin to fight for an extra yard. Gotta feel bad for Buffalo fans after that game. TO will be pissed a lot this year. I hate the Patriots and they get the benefit of a lot of questionable calls but to their credit they find a way to win. Only good teams can do that and they are a good team. NE is gonna run away with their division.

I can't wait till Indy plays NE in the regular season. That's the game i'm looking forward to the most!

Sylvanfan · 09-14-2009, 08:17 PM

The moral of the story is.....Stay in the end zone and take the touch back!

The only reason they had a chance to strip the ball was because of the moronic play by the Bills player. And having two guys strip the ball from one guys isn't exactly a great play.

It has nothing to do with any hatred and everything to do with what happened.

He wasn't dominant he did was good in moving them down to get the first TD but did exactly what the Bills wanted and took a lot of time off the clock. If the returner goes down that drive really works well for Buffalo who likely kills the clock.

The second TD he made a nice throw and got a lucky catch.

Far from dominant in both cases,

And again all caused because the Bills a. didn't challenge a clear bogus 1st down and b. the returner GAVE the ball away.

It's not even about the strip...you just go down if your returning that ball. You don't risk staying on your feet..let alone even bringing the ball out of the endzone. The Bills defense played great all game then just let the Patriots and Tom Brady have all the time to drive the football down the field.

The Patriots found a way to win...impressive but it was more a Bills choke

nik- · 09-14-2009, 08:20 PM

It doesn't even bother me that he decided to run it. What bothers me is that he's still pushing for yardage with two Pats on him with a 5 point lead. Go down, for the love of christ, go down.

It was a smart play to run it out, extra time off the clock, but he should have dove straight to the ground as soon as the Pats got there.

Why he was fighting after the first hit is insane. As bad of a football play as you can make.

GirlySports · 09-14-2009, 08:23 PM

True...

All I can say is...It's Buffalo.

Flickered Flame · 09-14-2009, 08:28 PM

Raiders marching down the field and Russell throws a beauty pass...to the Chargers.

You have no idea how hard it's becoming to chear for the Bills.

flames_1987 · 09-14-2009, 08:31 PM

That was all the WR's fault on that INT.

This night could be made a lot better if the Raiders win
