Official Game Thread: Buffalo Bills at Boston Patriots

[UNHWildCats]

Should be a nice warm up for the Patriots as they host Buffalo to open the season on Monday night.

The league has mandated the AFL teams with names different today go by their original names for legacy games. Thus the Patriots have filed this weeks injury reports as the Boston Patriots, no idea if this mandate will carry over to television graphics.

Other teams celebrating the 50th anniversary of the AFL are: Buffalo Bills, Denver Broncos, Dallas Texans (Kansas City Chiefs), Titans of New York (New York Jets), Oakland Raiders, San Diego Chargers, Houston Oilers (Tennessee Titans)

24-13 Buffalo with 5 min left. How long does it take the Pats to warm up?

[CrackerRiley]

Are the Patriots still warming up or just waiting for the last few mins of the game to really play xsmiley_wix

ahhh, beat me to it!

[StrikeJMU]

this is what happens when you lose half your team.

[CrackerRiley]

This is what happens when you got Teddy Bruschi talking all that Sh!+ before the game started.

[LacesOut]

I think this one will have an interesting finish.

[tribe_pride]

The Bills are choking big time.

[StrikeJMU]

wow...leave it to the Bills to lose a game in style.

[CrackerRiley]

Wow. Unbelievable. I'm just watching on gamecast right now.

[LacesOut]

Damn great catch by #84.

[StrikeJMU]

does Tom Brady need to win at everything? Jesus looks up to this guy.

[CrackerRiley]

[LacesOut]

Ahh, sorry about that then!

BTW, I'm loving these old school AFL uni's. I even like the Raiders, which just looks like the numbers are silver, not black.

NE's uni's were awesome!

[93henfan]

Great game. xthumbsupx

I asked how long it took to get warmed up, and they answered: 55 minutes.

How many minutes until the "Chasing History, Going 16-0, Version 2" thread? xwhistlex

Good ole Patriots are always "chasing" something... xbandwagonx

We'll wait til there 7-0 or 8-0

[UNCBears2010]

We'll wait til there 7-0 or 8-0

Or you learn proper spelling of the word "they're". xrulesx Sorry, people getting the the "theres", "yours" and "tos" wrong is a pet peeve of mine.

Typical Bills last night....sad thing is that's not even one of their five worst losses this decade.

I'm getting tired of all these Patriot fans acting like they blew someone out. Let's get real Buffalo gave the game away because of a fumble and a blown coverage. THen their return man is an absolute idiot for saying he would try to do the same thing in the same situation again. I don't care if you are a great return man. You don't take a risk like that. It was bad enough he didn't kneel down and start on the 20. Then he tried to fight for extra yards like an idiot. Just go down. A couple first downs and you have the game won. I'm not a Bills fan, but you Patriot fans are a joke

I wonder how long T.O. will be happy catching 2 passes?

[UNHWildCats]

im sure he exploded in the locker room last nite...

Then maybe he shouldn't drop the third one which was right in his hands.

[813Jag]

there will be more drops to come. xlolx Saw that too many times the last two years.

Brady did not look good...but then again Tom Brady not playing well is still better then most QB's...but a very entertaining game...much better then when the Pats were running up the score a couple years ago.

I wouldn't say he didnt look good... maybe rusty, but its hard to argue against a guy going 39-53 with 378 yards and several dropped passes. The INT was just a nice play by the defense.

Until that first cold November day in Buffalo. Then they'll be lucky to get him off of the heated bench.
