Dammit.

pats have had 3 top 15 picks in BB era

01 took seymour with 6 pick
03 ty warren with 13th got from bills for bledsoe
08 mayo with 10th which traded up for

id be very surprised if he trades up for a QB but hope he does

BB says that winning this game is the most important thing this week. "Cam Newton is the starting QB."

Is Bill Belichick starting to suffer from dementia?? If winning is the most important thing, why would he start Cam?

Game Time.....................

Because Stidham, as much as I'd prefer to see him get a shot, must suck donkey balls.

 

[sharkymcwrath]

I'm feeling some last minute optimism. Pats come to play and hobble the division winners.

Pats 23 Bills 20

Here's the difference between BB and an average hack. Cam gave Pats a great deal and unfortunately played no better (and arguably worse) than that value. The Pats could bench him and keep him from gaining incentives. We could agree that action is warranted. However, by ensuring he reaches the incentives the message is sent to future players that the team won't be screwing with them.

The average hack would just look at how he played and bench him and not look back to the intent when they initially signed him, and the message to others willing to make sacrifices to play here.

We know the Pats have a reputation for keeping as many nickels as possible, but not to spite those that already gave their share.

This tactic is similar to keeping any UFA who is worthy and sending the message to all UFAs that if you come here you'll have a fair chance and probably your best chance to make a team.

so the message is
If u come here and suck we will still pay you lol
BB has released alot of players cause they want more money

You've got that wrong. so wrong. While we agree he sucks, plenty of guys have sucked as much and have been paid far more. Another team would have paid him double but he took BB's offer because he thought it was his best chance to improve for the future. It hasn't worked out.

For BB's part he had an agreement (speculation on my part) to give him all opportunities to earn the money. If Stidham were that much better all bets would have been off, but the mere fact he hasn't played tells us otherwise.

Pats stop the Bills. Line up for a punt and nobody even sees a Bill standing by himself on the outside.

The Great Coach doesn't see him and can't call a time out????

Where the hell is the coaching staff?

This entire team needs an enema.

 

[BigKen]

Adam Butler screws the pooch. Not once, but twice he's off sides and the second time JC Jackson has an Interception.

5 yard penalty and it's 1st and Goal.

hey Bill.....wake the fuck up................................P L E A S E. DO YOR JOB>

 

[cheerupcharlie]

Butler needs a double enema.

 

[BigKen]

Patriots' coaching is the worst I've seen in my sixty years of watching this team.

Zone pass defense at the five yard line?? It's basically lighting up all of the gaps and telling the opponent to run the ball through holes that an oceanliner could sail through.

 

[redseat]

9 straight quarters without a TD but yes.... Cam is the answer... Sure Bill, Sure

 

[BigKen]

Folk misses the extra point. 10-9 Bills.

Hey Bill, you signed Auguayo, why not let him kick??

 

[DJ Fieri]

9 straight quarters without a TD but yes.... Cam is the answer... Sure Bill, Sure

He scored.

 

[redseat]

He scored.

oh goodie.... once in 9 quarters...

 

[BigKen]

Can anyone explain why the Patriots on 4th down rush four and have two LB standing in the middle of the field doing nothing. Play man to man and rush six and sack Allen who dancing around waiting for someone to separate.

Got seven in coverage and Allen runs for the first. Why can't Belichick blitz once in a while??

 

[BigKen]

Pats are down by 15 at the half. Are they down enough to bring in Stidham? Cam just threw another ground hog 13 yard pass to an open N'Keal Harry. No, can't take Cam out, he's leading the team in rushing tonight.

On the punt Pats were faking an all out rush and the Bills snapped the ball quickly. Good job Bills, horrible by special teams coach. Good job faking yourself out.

On the interception, Allen through because of the offsides. It's not likely that ball is thrown without it.

Folk has had a great season but that miss is inexcusable.

 

[redseat]

and not going for it on 4th and 4 from the plus 50... Just go for it.. You are down 31-9.. You GAVE UP Bill!

 

[YankeeRebel]

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.

Bills 34
Pats 9

Shit I was half ass joking when I posted this.

Nice analysis.
