The Game Ball: Wk. 13 at Buffalo

- Start date
Kind of. I mean, the Pats only scored 14 points. It wasn't like they marched up and down the field at will all game long. Not counting the last possession to run out the clock, the Pats gained 25 yards or less on six of their nine drives. They had these drives that weren't scoring drives:
3 plays, -1 yard, punt
3 plays, 5 yards, punt
3 plays, 4 yards, punt
4 plays, 25 yards, end of half
5 plays, 4 yards, punt
3 plays, 6 yards, punt
So they actually stopped the Patriots a LOT. But yeah, when you're putting 9-10 guys in the box and the other team doesn't even pretend to do anything but run, you're *supposed* to stop them.
BAsically all the blockers.
O-line
Jonnu
Johnson.
I won't give Harry one because of his ST screwup, slides down to honorable mention.
Basically the whole D, but in particular
Barmore
Godchaux
Bryant

Both lines for being beasts when we needed them to be.
I recognize that it's the truth, but it still hurts
Sure, I guess, but why chance the refs thinking that there's some taunting element to it? Just get the fuck back on defense and get ready for the next play.
On the second play he made, he was subdued and a teammate came over as to say "don't do anything stupid"
Would have been a fun game with Cam. They really might have run every play. Of course they’d be 5-8 or something so l’ll take Mac!
Everyone on D except Hightower. If players received credit for almost making plays he would lead the league. He’s usually in the correct position but just doesn’t have the athletic ability to execute anymore. Hope he’s helping Mayo coach next year.
Stevenson and Harris are such an unbelievable tandem. Hardest running duo in all of football.

You know who's had a really, really good season? Brandon Bolden. He was solid again tonight when called upon. He's given this team some excellent play this year.
I was told teams that lose close games are the worst coached teams.
Listening to him at the presser postgame tonight I understand part of why he’s been rostered for so many years. Super smart and well spoken.
One of the best single game coaching jobs of Bill’s career.
game balls go to the OL, Harris, Rham, Godcheaux, JC, and the coaching staff. That blitz on 4th down was a gutsy call.

Game ball to McDermott for flushing a timeout down the toilet by challenging the Mac Jones sneak.
You never saw where the ball was (or Mac, really, for that matter) and it certainly didn’t help that Mac was spit out of the pile 3 yards downfield.

He kinda wasted a second timeout as well, on offense deep in the red zone. Sure could of used them. Sean had a horrible game.
BB is really the perfect coach. I didn’t like the run only game plan but love that BB does not give a shit.
At the time I actually thought the Bills should consider using a time out any way to keep the Patriots from being able to kick in the good direction. They couldn’t get a stop though.
The third down sneak was incredible. I wonder if they saw something on tape because that is a huge play with third and five.
Game ball to the WRs and TEs. This was a very unselfish gameplan; those guys are basically punting any chance to improve their stats or remain on current season total trajectories that might mean something with incetives and upcoming contracts, but the guys went out there and blocked their asses off and committed to the gameplan.

I can't get over how bad the Bills' offensive game plan was. Allen was 3-13 on passes over 10 yards, and 1-9 on passes over 15 yards. If you saw this chart knowing the weather and without knowing the score, you'd assume the Bills were down big and needed to take chances.

Some Plays, not players…
Phillips pulling the ball away from Knox in first half when Bills looked certain to convert a 3rd and 19 back breaker.
Mac getting 4 on his 3rd and 5 sneak, making the 4th and 1 super manageable
Folk crushing that FG, which Bass showed was no easy trick.

Steve B. All that shit that SOSH dumped on him early in the year seems to have dissipated. The young one can coach.
