Pats-Bills Gameday Thread

[Night Train]

It's finally here. Opening day. :up:

I don't expect a lot this year, with a new coaching staff and youth at QB and WR. I predicted 6 wins and hope to be short on that prediction. Long term outlook.

Lots of Fred and Spiller today, I'm guessing ( Protect the rookie QB ). How will the D look and can they put pressure on Brady ?

We'll know soon enough. Go Bills !

[TacklingDummy]

Finally. Let's get this massacre season over. There's always next years draft.

[Scumbag College]

My head tells me that the Bills have no chance. My heart is telling me that the Bills are good and just and are going up against evil and tyranny, thus should win if all is right in the world.

I predict that EJ has a record setting day for a rookie QB on opening day. The Pats will score but the Bills get at least one special teams and/or defensive score. Bills win in an old AFL style shootout 45-42.

[K-Gun]

With the 1st pick of the NFL draft, the Buffalo Bills select... we could only be so lucky

I billieve!

[imbondz]

GO BILLS!!!

[imbondz]

my pre-game jitters are here! it usually only happens in the beginning of the season while all things are still new

[Figster]

Talk about being nervous,


Lets go Buffalo!!!!

[DunkCityFan]

GO BILLS!

BTW, thanks to all of you for getting me through the offseason.

[Famous Amos]

I'm so excited I could run through a ********* brick wall!

[SpikedLemonade]

I hope the Bills at least score 20 points. I want EJ to have something he can build on regardless of the game's outcome.

[kishoph]

The 1st step.

[stuckincincy]

Looks like Gumbeldorf is the announcing team:

http://506sports.com/

[Turf]

Can't wait, so excited.

[stuckincincy]

Looks like fine weather for the fans.

[ParanoidAndroid]

GO BILLS!!!

[kishoph]

Bills have to win the turnover battle.

[DraftBoy]

Let's Go Buffalo!!!

[stuckincincy]

Get those Spiller vomit bags ready!

[colin]

Go bills!!!!!

[TacklingDummy]

Go Bills.

[Novacane]

Carpenter looks like Christie

[ParanoidAndroid]

Nice tackle, Searcy!

[Novacane]

Come on Darius. Watch the ball

[TacklingDummy]

Dareus is a bum.

[ParanoidAndroid]

Wide TF open.

[Novacane]

Nice CBS. Don't even show a replay

[ParanoidAndroid]

Wait.... didn't the Pats come up with the ball?

- - - Updated - - -

Awesome adult diaper commercial. LOL

[Novacane]

WTF was that Marone? Pats got the ball anyway!

[TacklingDummy]

Not a good start by this coaching staff. Dopes.

[TacklingDummy]

Swiss Cheese.

[ParanoidAndroid]

Dammit. I hate Brady.

[IlluminatusUIUC]

three man rush in 3rd and 6

[Novacane]

Nice pressure. Take that Marcia!

[ParanoidAndroid]

YES!!!!! The Pats almost always score on their first possession.

[ParanoidAndroid]

OK..... just show us something, O! I'm already happy about the D right now.

[TacklingDummy]

spiller sucks. Its not as loaf of bread.

[Novacane]

Mother ****er CJ!!!!!!!!!!!

[lightningbolt444]

Come on CJ

[ParanoidAndroid]

D gets a stop and this. f*** off!

[Novacane]

Unreal. Same old ****

[IlluminatusUIUC]

Spiller is good for a few brain lock fumbles per year.

[TacklingDummy]

Does Brady have 6 or 7 TD passes this game?

- - - Updated - - -

I sure wish Marcell Dareus could get off the line.

[ParanoidAndroid]

Classic Bills football.

[lightningbolt444]

Cant blame the D there. Spiller needs to protect that ball if he wants to take the next step as a player

[Novacane]

Does Brady have 6 or 7 TD passes this game?

- - - Updated - - -

I sure wish Marcell Dareus could get off the line.


I wish any of the DL could get off the line

They could of held them to 3.

[Novacane]

**** CJ. Pass to set up the run

[Novacane]

Underthrown long ball

[TacklingDummy]

Lucky there Trent Losman.

[Mr. Pink]

Same old crap.

[Novacane]

Another penalty. ****ty punt. What's changed?

[lightningbolt444]

Bills need to chill out a bit with the penalties

[lightningbolt444]

Did everyone expect that we would instantly start winning and score on every drive immediately? The talent we have is still sub par so I dont know why everyone expected to just start driving down the field every drive

[Novacane]

If they score a TD here the route is on

[Mike]

Expected start
So far, defense looks a bit more energized
OLine getting manhandled

[Novacane]

Still can't get off the field on 3rd down

[ParanoidAndroid]

Yeah D!

[Novacane]

Nice Defense

[Mike]

Pats = Long series after long series
Bills = quickie after quickie

[Mike]

Bills offense needs to respond with a Long Time consuming scoring drive

[ParanoidAndroid]

F*** that!

[Crisis]

****ing penalties

[Novacane]

Marone has to get this penalty bull **** under control. It was a problem all pre-season and nothings changed!

[lightningbolt444]

Stupid refs

[ublinkwescore]

Can someone pm me a working link to watch live stream?

[Mr. Pink]

Spiller flat out sucks so far.

[BADTHINGSMAN]

Same old Bills, dumb penalties, one after another.

[Mr. Pink]

Awesome, we're still a dink and dunk offense with a QB who has 3YPA thus far.

We could be doing that with Fitzputrid.

[lightningbolt444]

Awesome, we're still a dink and dunk offense with a QB who has 3YPA thus far.

We could be doing that with Fitzputrid.


Who also had a 25 yard pass called back because of a dumb penalty . I think he has looked pretty good at this point actually.

[Crisis]

yeah i'm not disappointed with manuel.

the dumb penalties and 3rd down defense though, same old bills.

[BADTHINGSMAN]

Did everyone expect that we would instantly start winning and score on every drive immediately? The talent we have is still sub par so I dont know why everyone expected to just start driving down the field every drive

No, what I did expect is that these stupid penalties would be dealt with. Same crap every year.

[Beebe's Kid]

BB is the master of using what he has.

[stuckincincy]

Awesome, we're still a dink and dunk offense with a QB who has 3YPA thus far.

We could be doing that with Fitzputrid.

Eh - the rookie QB is what he is - a rookie.

The problem so far is that the so-called weakened NE offense is moving the ball at a decent pace.

[ParanoidAndroid]

Wow. This defense looks really good.

[Beebe's Kid]

is that the first sack on Brady?

[Beebe's Kid]

Hey hey now. Remember #22?

[ParanoidAndroid]

Jackson is way past his prime..... looks sooooo slow. /sarcasm

[Mr. Pink]

Same chicken shiz punting on 4th and 1 near midfield against a vastly superior team.

Take a chance.

[Beebe's Kid]

The punt was a momentum sucker.

[ParanoidAndroid]

No rest for the D. The second half is going to be ugly if this offense can't keep the ball. The power run game looks very un-powerful.

[lightningbolt444]

The pats d know what is coming they are daring the Bills to make EJ beat them. I know it is his first game but lets have it be an air show if that is the game the pats are going to play.

[ParanoidAndroid]

grounding

[ParanoidAndroid]

He lost track of that ball..... sheesh.

[Mike]

Great 3 & out

[lightningbolt444]

Chandler should have caught that ball. Ej needs to be careful forcing that type of throw on 3rd down though

[ParanoidAndroid]

Two catchable passes dropped by who are supposed to be our most reliable receivers. Not the best throws but they were catchable.

[ServoBillieves]

Good ol' INT just in time for me to start watching.

[lightningbolt444]

Two catchable passes dropped by who are supposed to be our most reliable receivers. Not the best throws but they were catchable.

The chandler one for sure. SJ catch would have been a really really tough grab

[Mike]

Manual missed 2 throws on that possession. Accuracy issues...

[SquishDaFish]

ok I admit we suck

[BADTHINGSMAN]

Geez, enough with the F'n penalties already.

[ParanoidAndroid]

That should have been a TD.

[ServoBillieves]

Game feed anyone? PM please.

[ServoBillieves]

Searcy!?

[Novacane]

That better stand

[Scumbag College]

That was a break that we needed! If the D can hold here...the momentum is going to be in our favor.

[Novacane]

Offense has played like **** and we're only down 3.

[Mike]

Yup TD
Not surprised Bills D scores first TD of the season

[Novacane]

It was lucky but I'll take it

[Novacane]

Just game them a first down. These penalties are killing us

[BADTHINGSMAN]

Yeah lets help Brady get a first down.

[Novacane]

Mario Williams sucks

[Novacane]

Other than penalties the D has been solid

[stuckincincy]

It's a game of fumbles so far..

[Scumbag College]

A penalty on the Pats???? That's unpossible.

[BADTHINGSMAN]

If anyone thinks that Brady isnt missing his usual targets, this shows he does. A lot more 3rd downs than usual for the Patriots.

[Novacane]

Stupid stupid stupid

[ParanoidAndroid]

Penalties are ridiculous.

[BADTHINGSMAN]

Yaaay time to move backwards.

[Mr. Pink]

It's a game of fumbles so far..

Very sloppy game on both sides with no one protecting the football particularly well.

[Novacane]

This offense ****ing sucks

[Scumbag College]

Come on...this is so frustrating to watch. First NFL touch and you fumble. ****ing awesome.

[lightningbolt444]

Come on Bills

[ParanoidAndroid]

And now a fumble. Man. If they could stop making bad mistakes, they could win this game the way the defense has been playing.

[Typ0]

Dan Dierdorf sucks.

[stuckincincy]

Penalties are ridiculous.


3 so far on Chandler?

[Oaf]

Manny Lawson was a great find.

[stuckincincy]

Dan Dierdorf sucks.

Gumbel sucks more, but he gets a pass. A disadvantaged multimillionaire... :couch:

[Mr. Pink]

This pass offense thus far is WORSE than it's been the past decade.

11 attempts 33 yards. Pathetic.

[lightningbolt444]

Are you watching the game or watching the stat line? The passing O looks ok but the fact that all the passes with any yardage are being called back are killing the Bills

[Scumbag College]

I can't remember a Bills defense hitting Brady as often as he's been getting hit today.

[Mr. Pink]

Are you watching the game or watching the stat line? The passing O looks ok but the fact that all the passes with any yardage are being called back are killing the Bills

I'm watching the game. The one pass play got called back by turnover. Everything else is short little dump offs.

[Typ0]

Gumbel sucks more, but he gets a pass. A disadvantaged multimillionaire... :couch:

I don't think you can suck more than Dierdorf...but I'm willing to admit it's a matter of opinion LOL

[Beebe's Kid]

Is this where it gets ugly?

[Novacane]

Mario Williams single blocked and can't get a sniff.

[Scumbag College]

I can't believe Dierdorf can still talk with all 4 inches of Brady's manhood in it since 1PM today.

[lightningbolt444]

Is this where it gets ugly?


Depends on this drive for the Bills

[stuckincincy]

CBS Sports says WR Amendola hurt his groun and is questionable for the 2nd half.

[lightningbolt444]

Yes now it gets ugly

[Novacane]

BORING

[ParanoidAndroid]

Jesizz!

[Mr. Pink]

This offense is god awful pathetic.

Putrid.

Repulsive.

Horrendous.

UGLY.

[Beebe's Kid]

Absolutely pathetic.

[Typ0]

BRUTAL!!!!!

[K-Gun]

we can go 3 & out in less than 60 seconds!

[Typ0]

WOW. DEFENSE!!!!

[ParanoidAndroid]

How about that defense!

[Iehoshua]

Gift pick!

[Mr. Pink]

:rofl:

If it weren't for our defense today we'd have 0 points.

Here comes another free 3!

[Beebe's Kid]

This defense might be for real. The offense on the other hand...

[Typ0]

WE NEED A SCORE!!!!!

[lightningbolt444]

I am a bit worried about the defense in the 2nd half just because the O cant stay on the field

[Beebe's Kid]

Haha...just give it to us!

- - - Updated - - -


I am a bit worried about the defense in the 2nd half just because the O cant stay on the field

I hear that. They looked a little best after the Goodwin fumble.

[Iehoshua]

Nice when the receiver holds the ball!

[Beebe's Kid]

Hands Chandler!!

[Typ0]

Gotta like that!!!!

[Iehoshua]

MANUELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[ParanoidAndroid]

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a QB! Wooohoooooo!!!!!!

[Mike]

Offense, what offense
33passing yards sucks regardless.

[Beebe's Kid]

****ing A!!!!!

[Mr. Pink]

Hey he can throw the ball more than 5 yards down the field! Once or twice a game!

[Mike]

Hope they score a TD here

[ParanoidAndroid]

I say come out throwing in the second half and set up the run.

[Iehoshua]

With the turnovers and penalties, its a miracle they're in striking distance. HOPE!

[ParanoidAndroid]

The defense is keeping the Bills in this game. When was the last time we could say that?

[Scumbag College]

Nice! Patriots look average and very beatable. Especially on offense.

[Crisis]

Pettine is gonna get a head coaching job somewhere soon

[LVGrown]

We really couldnt have asked for more going in to halftime down by 3 with the momentum On ourside. Come on boys!!!! Efffffff yeah!!!!

[Novacane]

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a QB! Wooohoooooo!!!!!!




A little premature lol

[BADTHINGSMAN]

CJ needs to get going in the second half. Still not that impressed with the D. Patriots have nobody that should scare a defense, yet Edelman left wide open for a TD and the stupid penalties need to be gone.

[Beebe's Kid]

Now comes the test. Good news is that we couldn't get much worse in terms of penalties and turnovers...

[Novacane]

NE is going to regret letting Welker leave

[Iehoshua]

Based on his poise, quick release, seeing the field, already have more confidence in him that Fitzpatrick..

..but yeah it's only a half....

[Novacane]

Based on his poise, quick release, seeing the field, already have more confidence in him that Fitzpatrick..

..but yeah it's only a half....

Me too! I wasn't dissing EJ. It's just funny how 2 nice passes is enough for some Bills fans. Show what crap QB play we are used to.

[Bunion]

Mike Pettine and the lads on Defense have earned their pay. Maybe Marrone turns down the tempo and grinds the Pats a bit in the second half?

Edit: Brandon Spikes has 'dehydration'. I'd puke if Eric Wood hit me in the junk too.

[lightningbolt444]

I think the thing I am most concerned about is CJ. He is not hitting the hole as fast and dancing a bit much. The O line is not giving him much but he needs to get going.

[ParanoidAndroid]

So.... if the defense is on the field as often this half, they will get run on.

[Iehoshua]

Just gotta pick up those short ones on the ground... inexcusable..

[ParanoidAndroid]

Spiller is not a short yardage runner which is why he will never be a true feature back.

[Novacane]

Freddy needs to be in on all short yardage

[Iehoshua]

Get out of bounds EJ!! lol...

[Iehoshua]

Perfect strike by EJ.. checking down receivers.. love it.

[stuckincincy]

8 consecutive runs...

[Novacane]

Same play. Spiller left. WTF

[ParanoidAndroid]

Holy ****!

[Scumbag College]

EJ to Stevie TD....

That was a big time throw.

[Typ0]

That was an actual drive!!!!!!!!!!

[ParanoidAndroid]

No Buffalo QB has made that throw since Bledsoe!

[Novacane]

Perfect throw to a covered receiver. I Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Iehoshua]

SICK! Do that all season!

[BADTHINGSMAN]

Great throw and catch. Excellent drive. D needs to come out strong now.

[Crisis]

wow what a throw

[ParanoidAndroid]

Anyone have a stat on when the last time a rookie QB threw a TD pass to a rookie WR on opening day. What about their first TD throw/catch?

[Iehoshua]

No Buffalo QB has made that throw since ------!
Don't say that name!

[Bunion]

Great ****ing drive.

[Beebe's Kid]

That was a fun drive to watch.

What a throw and catch to end it...maybe keep #22 in the game.

[stuckincincy]

Nice setup for the pass. Kudos to BUF's OC.

[Mike]

Nice
That's why you have to put teams away if your dominating then
A few quick plays and here we are. Go bills

We need to go Deep a few times
Hit a few big plays

[tomz]

Awesome throw! Now build on the mo'.

[Novacane]

That was a fun drive to watch.

What a throw and catch to end it...maybe keep #22 in the game.



He's given the running game a spark! CJ seems slow today

[Beebe's Kid]

Nice

We need to go Deep a few times
Hit a few big plays
As much as I want to see it, i think they should just keep chipping away. If you have the lead, I am all for slowing the tempo a little bit and eating the clock. Keep Brady off of the field.

I will say that a guy that can make those throws is the real deal. I know it is early, but the signs are good.

- - - Updated - - -


He's given the running game a spark! CJ seems slow today
I think he is being contained. I have a feeling that we are missing Levitre there....He hasn't been able to stretch out.

[ParanoidAndroid]

Get the ball!

[Beebe's Kid]

Brady has never been under this much pressure from the Buffalo Bills.

[Novacane]

Wake up! They've been running on every 2nd and long

[ParanoidAndroid]

Dareus held point that time.

[ParanoidAndroid]

good read on the screen.

[Beebe's Kid]

Why is that draw play killing them? We aren't done seeing that. BB will take it until it goes away. The D has been resilient though...they don't get on the ropes and stay there. I like what I am seeing...

That 3rd down was a little shaky...now we need to keep them out of FG range...I wonder if BB will go for it on 4th against this defense.

For what it is worth...McKelvin is playing alright.

[BADTHINGSMAN]

Cmon D force the punt..

[ParanoidAndroid]

Dammit!

[Beebe's Kid]

There is a serious lack of discipline on this team.

[BADTHINGSMAN]

Ahhhhhh, wtf Buffalo!!! Stop helping the Patriots.

[Iehoshua]

Can't expect to win letting them convert every 3rd down...

[Novacane]

3rd down D needs work

[lightningbolt444]

D looks tired here

[ParanoidAndroid]

Not a single holding call and that was questionable on that run.

[Beebe's Kid]

I hope it is just jitters, and not indicative of things to come.

[Novacane]

Can someone please cover Amandola

[Beebe's Kid]

Oh my god...how are you not ready for Amendola on 3rd?

[BADTHINGSMAN]

Keep them to 3 D!

[Beebe's Kid]

Does BB take the 3?

[Iehoshua]

STOPPED!!!! Nice drop!

[Novacane]

DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BADTHINGSMAN]

Yesssssss!!!!!! Huge stop by the D.

[tomz]

HUUUUGE!

[Typ0]

WOW the Bills are playing some football! Take it easy EJ!!!!

[Beebe's Kid]

Kiko!!!!!!!!

Got a little greedy there BB. Protect the football and get a TD.

[Mike]

GO DEEP

[djjimkelly]

we gonna pull the shocker !!!!!!

[lightningbolt444]

That one was all Kiko for that huge hit the play before.

[Mike]

Over the top to Gram
We have momentum
& need to capitalize

[Skooby]

Kiko says no.

[lightningbolt444]

Put the Hammer down PA go deep

[Beebe's Kid]

Let's take a two score lead...focus...I would like to see a screen to CJ. Get him out in space. The holes aren't there on the run.

[Night Train]

Can the 2 dozen Pats apologists that reside here explain to me how the Bills are leading by 4 with 19 minutes left, even though they have been beating themselves for 90 % of the game ?

The Pats may still win but were supposed to coast by 30-40, according to the Realists. What's wrong, experts ?

[Beebe's Kid]

Over the top to Gram
We have momentum
& need to capitalize
I feel it, but I am a little scared. Haha!

[Novacane]

Huge 3rd down conversion!

[Beebe's Kid]

Freddy looks smooth with the ball. I have to say that he is looking strong. Not fast, but good.

[ParanoidAndroid]

Are they just blocking better for Freddie or is Spiller not running?

[Beebe's Kid]

Alright. Get the first, then go deep.

[Iehoshua]

More devastating penalties...

[Novacane]

BULL ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BADTHINGSMAN]

Again with the penalties.

[Beebe's Kid]

Got a light skinned friend look like Freddie Jackson.

Damn penalty!!

[Iehoshua]

Ticky-tack bs penalty call...

[Scumbag College]

These refs are *******s. Honestly...that **** happens every play and of course they flag the Bills on two big pickups.

[ParanoidAndroid]

That's 2 of those calls now.

[Beebe's Kid]

Nice punt. Nice coverage. If we couldn't score, that was the best alternative.

[CoolBreeze]

These refs are determined to destroy us

[Skooby]

Wow, what a punt!!

[Novacane]

Ticky-tack bs penalty call...



They may have lost a lot of weapons but they still have the refs!

[Beebe's Kid]

When you play the Pats, you play the refs too.

BIg stop here...let's go!

- - - Updated - - -

A lot of firsts here today, or at least a not in a long ****ing times.

[Typ0]

make em punt from there!!!!

[Beebe's Kid]

How cool would a safety be?

[Typ0]

YEAH BABY!!!!

[Iehoshua]

D!

[Mr. Pink]

Really impressed with the defense. The offense not so much.

If we could get some offense to go along with this, we'd be dangerous.

[Beebe's Kid]

I'll take the punt from deep in their own end!!
