      Yards at half time were 285-76 for Pats. Game ended with 385 to 349 Pats/Bills. So Pats were limited to 100 yards (most of it on one run) in 2nd half while Bills rolled up 273 yards in 2nd half. Literally flipped the script.

      Bills getting belted by Pats. Not surprised. Vrabel’s always had physical teams that McDermott can’t match.

        The Bills are making a game of it now. They are a much better 2nd half team, all year long.

        Edit: Holy shit, they pulled it off

          Holyshit yeah they won. I know like Bills struggled against Vrabel’s Titans even when they were shitty. Vrabel has physical teams and that’s what this Pats team is and McDermott’s defense usually struggles against that. Wow I’m shocked. have to watch replay.

            I should watch the Patriots more often. Every time I do, they aren’t exactly playing up to the Evil Empire supposedly being back moniker.

              I watched them beat Bills in Buffalo earlier. They were physical and defense was stifling. I didn’t watch this game but it was a tale of 2 halves. Still a close game took a miracle for Bills to win here. They will have some form of home field advantage in playoffs and are in the running for #1 seed in AFC. It’s impossible for Bills to win AFCEast.

                The Bills still have a chance at that, however slim. I will laugh a big, big belly laugh if the Pats lose the division by losing that last game to the Jets.

                  Yeah probabilities are slim though. Pats will need all the wins to try and get #1 seed in AFC. They may still get it because Broncos have a tougher schedule - chiefs, chargers and jags whereas for Pats its ravens, jets and fins.

                Tale of two halves because the refs decided to inject themselves in the game and suddenly call everything against the patriots and everything for the bills.

      I always say I never root for the Chargers unless they’re playing the Raiders. And this game I usually root for a tie or like a freak asteroid or sudden tornado something like that. But seeing the Chargers put a knife in the hearts of the Chiefs playoff chances it’s pretty freaking attractive I can’t lie.

      I never know what Defenders are supposed to do in those situations. You’re going to make a tackle and the guy you’re about to tackle just drops 2 ft and suddenly your tackle goes from being perfect to being a penalty. What can you do?

      Congrats Broncos. Wow. They can get #1 seed by winning out. Tougher road than Pats but possible. Holy cow. Probably the best surprise team of the season.

      Ha, who needs to go around blockers when you can just go through them!
