Message: [QUOTE="pattycuse, post: 1935161, member: 256"] What an absolute fiasco yesterday. I was at the Ralph, great crowd as always despite awful conditions. A few notes: - This team really missed Aaron Williams. I never thought he was an all time great safety or anything but the dropoff to Blanton & Meeks was pretty steep. Not sure who screwed up on the Hogan touchdown but Gilmore visually slowed down after his break- I assume he felt he had coverage help over the top but after the play, Meeks was SCREAMING at Gilmore. You just can't make those types of mistakes against the Pats and expect to win. - That said there were some really strange matchups on defense. 3rd & 9, believe it was Preston Brown assigned to cover Julian Edelman. I turned to my friend I was there with and said "they're going to Edelman". Boom, 16 yard completion...Brady never looked elsewhere. Also, I will never understand how you can have Robey-Coleman on Gronk... - Atrocious officiating but what else is new. The NFL has to fix this problem, it's ridiculous. - Again I know Tyrod is catching heat (and sometimes rightfully so) but look at who he is throwing to...not exactly a murder's row out there. Someone explain to me why Reggie Bush is still on this team? - Watching Gilleslee yesterday only reinforces that Shady never should have played last week...I put that one on Rex. Sometimes you have to take the decision out of the player's hands. Anyone know when Sammy Watkins is eligible to be back? - Tough uphill sledding from here on out. The Bills can get away with losing to Seattle but Cincinnati is a must win. They absolutely need conference victories if they are going to have any shot at the playoffs. Unfortunately it is probably going to take 6-2 (or 7-1) down the stretch to have a prayer...and I'm not confident that this group can do it, or is even healthy enough to achieve that. Gonna need a lot of breaks...but I think we are staring down the barrel of 8-8 again. - Gotta say I've seen a lot of projectiles lobbed onto playing fields, but never an, ummm, "object" like yesterday...I sit on the opposite end of the stadium but like many others thought it was a flag at first. Obviously, it proved to be something different altogether. [/QUOTE]
