Most of us posting here sat through this, but for those that didn't let's just take a moment to appreciate the Pats last offensive drive. They take the ball over with 7:38 left down 17. This is not likely but not impossible.

They start off the drive, very first play with a 20ish yard pass! Hey, good start.

Then we had this excruciatingly long 19 play drive that lasted for 5 minutes and 45 seconds on the game clock but about three hours in real time. They've already lost the game by this point, there's not enough time. But at least they might cover or something if they get lucky and recover an onside kick, they're down pretty close to the goal line after a Buffalo safety lights a defenseless receiver up in the end zone and gets disqualified.

Mac Jones immediately takes a horrendous 13 yard sack and now they're back at the 21 on 2nd and goal. An incomplete pass later on third down Mac somehow ends up running around the 40 yard line forever before throwing a ball to a receiver who was standing three yards out of bounds and was no longer paying attention to the play.

Then they kick a field goal.

It was poetry, you had to be there to understand.

It was truly a work of art

Wasn't one of Brady's complaints about Bill was that Brady could have a perfect game and Bill would come into the video room and still just tear him apart nitpicking every little mistake?

What I'm saying is I want to be in the video room when Bill and Mac go over this tape.

yeah it was baaaaaaaaaaaaad, Patricia was never good but the gameplan when they got down was:

1. Throw screen pass
2. ?????
3. Lose by 17

Just awful, Kawalimus would have keeled over if this was Greg Roman.
Yeah, it was pathetic. They clearly planned to use a grinding, ball-control offense to keep the Bills offense off the field as much as possible - so far, so good. Our defense has even had trouble with the run lately!

But then they fell behind 3 scores, after the Bills somehow did ball control way better, and the Patriots didn't even loving try to speed things up. They just plodded slowly down the field like they were up a touchdown and trying to ice it.

That last drive was surreal because you don't usually see a team just give up mid drive. They just seamlessly flipped a switch from "okay, still in this, let's give it our best" to treating it like garbage time.

I was very fond of how the Patriots went right down the field and scored a TD on their first drive to make you think "oh, wow, this might be a real game here." before they just spent the rest of the game sputtering and holding their dicks. Nice little trip down memory lane.

I find it extremely funny that the only time any of the AFC East teams managed to be competent in the past 20 years (minus the like two Rex Ryan Jets AFCG appearances) are two years after Touchdown Tom leaves the division.

It turns out that Brady was the one who has/had the pact with Satan. Look at the NFC South right now, yeah the Bucs suck but that pact is ensuring everyone else sucks even worse.

The Saints being good for as long as they were just means they’re going to be bad until the heat death of the universe to maintain the cosmic balance. The Bucs have it right, just throw in a really good year every couple of decades to stay under the radar.

1 and 2 against Lamar and Mahomes too - i.e he has lost 4 games and won 2 against both combined.

AFAIK all of the recent Mobile QBs he's played more than once have over a 100 rating against his defenses too.

Because the Ravens winning means Harbaugh more likely to stay, which is basically. Ravens loss and less competition in the AFC in the future
