Patriots vs. Bills (1 Viewer)

[az_prof]

Did the Bills not get the memo they don't belong on the same field as NE?J

Their defense is getting pressure and their no huddle offense is spreading the ball around and moving the chains. After one half I am impressed.

 

[MCguidance]

This is exactly what I was worried about for the Patriots tonight... this looks nothing like the 07 team. They better come out in the second half with some fire. One Brady-Moss td and I should win, don't let me down boys

That's why they are record-setting season, perfect storms of fantasy football.

Brady doesn't look quite as invincible when he can't just stand back there like a statue and pick out his receivers.

He's no Roethlisberger. That's for sure.

By the time their careers are over, Big Ben will have more rings than Brady.

Doubt it

 

[Knobs]

The Bills can't keep letting Pats convert these third downs. Watson with a first down.

 

[GroveDiesel]

I am shocked by how bad the pats line is right now. Brady is either getting hit, or someone's in his face on every play.

And frankly, I think there's been quite a bit of holding going on as well.

Different QBs with different strengths, but I can say that I seriously doubt the Steelers win the SB last year with Brady instead of Ben.But that's another thread.

Ben is a hair above average and a hair above a game manager. Testaverde could have won with Pittsburgh last year. Pittsburgh won not because of Ben but because they kept points off the board. Blinded by homerade.

It's really not that outlandish, actually. Pretty good bet.

Brady has 3. Big Ben has two, and he's several years younger. It's certainly possible.

 

[Vykng]

Awesome stop and cut by Moss.

 

[wazoo11]

is terrell owens even playing?

 

[GroveDiesel]

Ugh. Terrible DB tackling yet again. Lots of yards chewed up after that first move.

Brady is a big time fat cat now

What did he statement even mean??? Like Brady used to stand behind an invincible wall for minutes just cherry picking wide open receivers What the hell was he trying to say

Brady lost the eye of the tiger . I blame Giselle or however you spell ithe's a big time society boy now

Firing up the shtickmobile a little early, no?

 

[Joe Bryant]

Zero chance they don't score here.

Now you're just being ridiculous. Big Ben is easily a top 5 QB.

 

[Ghost Rider]

I like Gruden so far, but how can he say that Brady has, except for the INT, been on the money with his throws all night? He has been very shaky at times, missing open guys.

Forget it, Cross. It's all shtick.

Whoops.

 

[Big Rocks]

No fade to Moss? Why not use your best weapon?

 

[kroyrunner89]

Why would they run there? Very irritating, this is not the aggressive Pats we all know

 

[awesomeness]

Zero chance they don't score here.J

oof

 

[Masked Vigilante]

I'm hating that call on 3rd down

 

[GroveDiesel]

Zero chance they don't score here.J

Holding the Patriots to a FG here is almost a moral victory. Certainly doesn't give the Patriots any momentum.

 

[timschochet]

Zero chance they don't score here.J

oof

He didn't say TD.

 

[Knobs]

Zero chance they don't score here.J

A field goal isn't quite what most expected here, but it is 3 more than they had.

 

[D_House]

Very unBelichick like call with the run there. Not that I'm complaining.

 

[jon007]

I guess the Pats only go for it on 4th down when they are up by 3 scores. Pffft chicken.

 

[BusterTBronco]

'twould appear that the Patriots are not the same team without McDaniels calling the plays.

 

[therokie0070]

who replaces P. Posluszny in the middle if he is out long term?

 

[Pat Patriot]

I was never the biggest Josh McDaniels fan but whoever is calling the Pats offense tonight SUCKS. That run to Faulk was a TERRIBLE call. Bills are playing well. Pats look like #### (at least partially because the Bills are playing well).

 

[Gr00vus]

Pats are dominating all the stats except score and turnovers. In particular the TOP is telling. 2nd half could be brutal for the Bills if their offense can't find a way to stay on the field.

 

[Knobs]

'twould appear that the Patriots are not the same team without McDaniels calling the plays.

 

[Brutis]

I'm hating that call on 3rd down

Almost fell out of my chair?? What the hell was that? I need some Brady Loooove!!

 

[D_House]

Buffalo has looked a lot better than I expected. (I feared a 2007esque blowout).

However, I'm not optimistic. Buffalo is 0-3 on 3rd, NE is 6-10. Buffalo has 111 yards, NE has 217.

And Belichick has halftime to make his adjustments.

 

[therokie0070]

bump

 

[JoeyJoeJoeJrShabadoo]

'twould appear that the Patriots are not the same team without McDaniels calling the plays.

Yeah, Belichick should call that McDaniels play where the DB tips the ball into the receiver's hands and then he runs 86 yards for a TD.

 

[Finless]

Forget it, Cross. It's all shtick.

Shtick We've all seen what Batch has done with that offense when he comes in. Roethlisberger is solid. He's not spectacular.

 

[JoeyJoeJoeJrShabadoo]

Well, Brady's now had a half of football to get back into form, and he hasn't. Looks like the writing is on the wall.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

I was never the biggest Josh McDaniels fan

Why not?

NE definition of RBBC.

In the first 4 plays, All 4 RBs were on the field. Taylor and Morris on first & Second, Faulk on Third, and Maroney & Morris on Fourth.

Second series seems to be Maroney in on single back sets, and lining up wide a couple times. And now a couple plays with Fred Taylor, then Faulk again on third down.

Third series first and second down Taylor, third down faulk.

Fourth Series, Taylor nice run on first called back on penalty. first down in motion out wide, second down run no gain. Third down faulk.

1st down faulk, out in a pattern. 2nd down taylor, no gain. 3rd down faulk again, nice catch & run. 1st down taylor short gain,

2nd down taylor 6 yards. 3rd faulk runs for first down.

*in the red zone now: 1st down faulk. 2nd down .. maybe no one, couldn't tell ?

*Goal line: Taylor TD.

Fifth series Sammy Morris on 1st down. Series ended on interception.

Sixth series, 3:00 minutes left in half. 1st down Maroney in (kind of wiffed on a block). 1st down Maroney 7 yard run.

*two minute warning. 2nd down faulk, 3rd down faulk. 1st down faulk.

*redzone(1:14 left) 1st down faulk, 2nd down(from the 3) faulk. 3rd down(from 3) faulk short gain. ends in FG attempt

So far it looks like Sammy Morris is playing the FB role, Faulk obviously the third down back & passing situations.

Taylor and Maroney split, with Taylor getting the bigger share.

broken down by series, Taylor(3) Maroney(1) faulk(1). By Carries, Taylor(9) maroney(5) faulk(3). By yards Taylor(25), Maroney(36,2), faulk(7,22)

 

[Cripster]

Tough night for LB's. Any word on Mayo or Paul P.

 

[Ripleys]

Not the start I'm sure we all thought we'd see from Brady, Moss, and Welker.

 

[Chase Stuart]

I guess the Pats only go for it on 4th down when they are up by 3 scores. Pffft chicken.

:( Why not go for the TD there? You're telling me you can't get 2 yards? TD helps a lot more than a FG.

 

[eddy13]

0 catches for 0 yards priceless for T.O

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

Forget it, Cross. It's all shtick.

Shtick :( We've all seen what Batch has done with that offense when he comes in. Roethlisberger is solid. He's not spectacular.

0 passing TD in a half vs Buffalo?Brady is done

 

[Finless]

Overreact much folks? This team is destined for greatness just as it's always been. About to Fire up the 2009 NE Patriots - Drive for the Lombardi Cup
