Good job refs, wasn’t enough though. Maybe you needed to interrupt game earlier … just saying, all teams need to put up with ref protagonists.

I think Allen has a bad shoulder, it showed today on several of his passes.

Meh...not only that...but more importantly, their defense got exposed.

Not sure about that. Pats actually made good offensive plays today. Unexpected but it happened.

Pats have more guys with Jones surname than all teams put together, maybe ..?
Thing is that like 70% of those dudes are inactive, that must be the problem.

Missing 4 starters, 2 for the season (Tre White, Milano). The other 2 were the starting DTs (DaQuan Jones, who was playing incredible before hitting the IR, and Oliver who could be back for Thursday's game).

I don't think it was Josh's shoulder, but instead the conservative offense they're running. They've largely neutered Josh (other than that awful INT on their first offensive play). If Diggs catches that deep throw in the final 12 secs, Bills would've had one final play from approx the Pats' 30, reasonable try for the winning score. I didn't see any missing zip on his throws, but the Pats did well to pressure him much of the game.

Dumbest application of a new rule in a long, long time. Truth be told the actual dirty version of excessive body weight is covered under unnecessary roughness. You know it when you see it. And what's getting called ain't it.

The defender actually made the play look worse that it was by pulling his arms back, which did actually drop his full weight onto Allen (which was the penalty). He left his feet and did not attempt to brace himself at all.
