So while some have speculated that perhaps Belichick leaked this fake news to someone in the organization in order to smoke out a leaker, I’ve got something more sinister. There’s no way he’d go live with a story about Gordon being disciplined for being tardy if he didn’t have at least two sources. OK, so, Ian Rapoport is about as reliable as it gets. –So, do you want to hear my wild conspiracy theory about the Josh Gordon punishment reports? I bet you don’t. You just can’t get that stuff anywhere else. “The #Bills QB situation has been just like the rough waters of Niagara Falls…” /hu0830QWRH –The Patriots have gotten themselves into trouble this year against inferior opponents - namely, Indy and Chicago - by making too many unforced errors. They avoided that fate in Buffalo, but just barely.Īfter Josh Gordon dropped a deep ball from Tom Brady on third down of the opening series, Joe Cardona’s snap to Ryan Allen was low. With that, let’s go ahead and karate-kick our way through some Leftover Patriots Thoughts from New England’s 25-6 win in Buffalo. And without that defensive showing, the Patriots might have actually - gulp - lost the football game. But there’s really not one bad takeaway you could muster from this defensive effort. They limited the always-elusive LeSean McCoy to just 13 rushing yards on 12 carries, and for the first time all year, they kept their opponent out of the end zone.Īgain, the Duck Boats need not be called upon to usher the Patriots around the city in celebration of beating Derek Anderson and the Buffalo Bills.
(The Bills did gain 333 yards, but 79 of them –close to 25 percent - came in the final two drives, which took place in the most garbagey of garbage times.) They forced two critical turnovers, returned a pick for a touchdown, sacked the quarterback three times, and limited the Bills to just 4-of-14 efficiency on third downs. If you can’t shut down that offense, then you can’t shut down any offense.īut the Patriots did shut down that offense, limiting them to just six points. Granted, the performance came against a dreadfully weak offense, led by quarterback Derek Anderson, who has spent the last eight years being largely unemployed in the NFL. You know the drill - sometimes in the NFL, you have to win ugly.īut, well, here, check this out: At least the Patriots’ defense proved capable of carrying the team to a victory.

Regular-season wins in Buffalo just don’t carry that championship level of enthusiasm. For their effort, they won’t be asked to join the Red Sox on their victory parade through Boston this week. BOSTON (CBS) - The Patriots won on Monday night.
