Game #15 Buffalo Bills vs NE Patriots MNF 12/28/2020 8:30 PM ESPN/ABC

[BigKen]

Not much to discuss here.

League was hoping that this game would have some meaning as they historically do.
AFCE Champ vs a lost team that doesn't seem to care and playing not to get hurt.

I don't think that this one will come down to a Cam Newton fumble with 13 seconds to go.

 

[cheerupcharlie]

Gonna be a close game. @YankeeRebel gets to finally say “I told you so”, when Folk misses a 35 yard game winning FG.

Bills 21
Patriots 20

but what fortunes would have been different if that fumble had not happened? My guess is the Bills would be trying to clinch this week and elimination for the pats delayed a week.

I absolutely cringe when that SOB lines up for a kick... Not because I think he might miss, not because I think he's playing above himself... It's just that when a certain law of averages shows up we'll have to bear YR doing victory laps.

We're fucked. If Newton plays I predict the Pats go 12 quarters without an offensive touchdown. Fuck it, may as go scoreless against the Jets too and make it 16 quarters.

I may actually watch another more interesting game if Newton plays.

Bills 27
Pats 9

Actually I don't really give a shit about Folk. And I doubt it's a close game Buff still jhas something to play for.

What's changed?

You don’t give a shit about the teams MVP?? Right.......

Bills 45
Pats - 2. Defense with a safety

 

[YankeeRebel]

What's changed?

Nothing.

As I said to me he is disposable so I really don't give him a lot of thought. People wanted to try and convince me he was the K of the future I never agreed with that. What I said and I can't fathom how people missed this, was that we were asked if we trust him, I stated I do not and it blew up from there.

I guess I missed that part. What I saw mostly were concerns that we started the year with two dud kickers and one rose to be serviceable and proved to not be a liability, and even played well enough to earn true kudos. I know kickers tend play longer than other players, but it would be asinine for anyone to suggest he was anything more than a season to season kicker.

 

[BigKen]

Bailey made All Pro along with Gilmore and Slater (9th)

Unless the rookie has made a significant leap forward next year, plan on Folk being here in 2021.

We'ew going to need a program to ID the players for the next two weeks.

Pfft...

5 field goals from 40 or more, while the Gilmoreless defense holds the Bills to two TD's and I'm left screaming "THROW THE GAME!!!"

BB got pissed off for the second day in a row at the media. "Bill, since the team is out of the playoffs, will you give Stidham an opportunity to show us what he can do." Belichick said that Cam Newton is the QB and that's his final decision. Then one very ballsy person said, "We know that Cam can't play QB, why are you refusing to let someone else attempt to succeed or fail?" Press Conference over.

Now according to NESN Sports, the media is calling Kraft and asking why BB has kept the 32nd ranked QB as the starter and has never given Stidham a chance to start. You know that Kraft is going to have to talk to Bill and keep the media off his back. With all of the possible changes and lack of changes by Belichick in 2020, Kraft just might have to issue an order that BB doesn't want to hear. "Play Stidham and get the media off my ass."

Kraft just might.
But I doubt it.

 

[Carnzo]

Why is BB resisting what is obvious to the rest of us?
No point in playing Cam as we have seen what he can do and that aint going to cut it with the players we have today.

The media doesn't run the Patriots, Bob and Jonathan Kraft do. And they allow BB to make all football decisions. Boston sports media is truly the fucking worst. They wouldn't hesitate for a moment to run the greatest coach ever out of town.

I still believe that while the Krafts ultimately could force Bill to make a decision, I don't believe they ever have or ever will. Perhaps they tell Bill their opinions but I still believe Bill makes the final football decisions.

Kraft has no problem with telling Bill his opinions.

Why Robert Kraft called Bill Belichick a 'schmuck'

It's been a while since we had a good Spygate story. New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft relives the time most Patriots fans would like to forget, with a great anecdote about Bill Belichick.
