“Obviously we had a lot of yardage in the passing game yesterday”. We left a lot of plays on the field. We did a horse – job and it’s my responsibility. As an offense, there are some things we can clean up, and I’m sure defensively as well.

Credit the Bills for hanging tough in the final quarter and making the game appear closer than it was for the first 45 minutes. We do that every week.
The question is where to begin as the Bills hit the road for the first time, at AFC East rival, Miami (1-1). He’s big, has good hands and has underrated speed for a player of his size. That was big one to get them started. The offense has been building leads with a full head of steam, but letting those decimate quickly will not always end like it did Sunday. “And it is not something you have to learn – that’s something you already know“.
Up 21-7, the Patriots gave up the ball when Brady threw an incompletion on fourth-and-1 at his own 48.
Otherwise, his absence could approach three months if he skips a short week for the Thanksgiving home game against Carolina and returns December . 7 at Washington. We kind of anticipated that at half time. But if Patriots fans had their druthers, which team would they want to win?

Q: How important were the quick passes and no huddle offense today?
“We came out too fired up, I believe, and that’s what caused the penalties”, said Nigel Bradham. At least, that’s what we think.
Jones ran for 123 yards and two touchdowns following each with a flourish an efficient Cousins avoided any turnovers, and Washington Redskins dominated for a half, then held on to beat the Rams 24-10.
“We’ve got to have that controlled emotion”, he said of a team that was penalized 11 times for 113 yards in a 27-14 season-opening win over Indianapolis. Completing 38 of 59 attempts, Tom Brady passed for 466 yards, the second-highest total of his career. What does that say about the offensive line? Passing back Dion Lewis chipped in with 98 yards on six catches, including a 40-yard wheel route. It was a team win.
He is wired in a way that produces fun fodder for reporters and fans, and builds his team in a way that it becomes noticed, that it plays aggressively and hard. We knew coming here was going to be hostile. We’re 1-0 in the division. The hype, the expectations, the media coverage and the pressure that comes along with all of that is new to these players. We need to keep playing complementary football like that.
Asked on his Monday WEEI appearance if he ever gets fooled by a defense, Brady said, “it’s pretty rare”. Everybody can do better. “His part in this loss, I would say, was probably a little bit more minimal when compared to the defense’s ability to get to Brady”. Do you buy into that sort of thing? “I’m not gonna put a muzzle on our players”. Afterwards Rex Ryan was predictably humbled, took the blame for the loss and said he got “outcoached” by Bill Belichick. They did a good job.

Q: Is there anything in particular that makes you think it was not so great coaching? Buffalo also got flagged five times for personal fouls. But the defensive front needs to prove itself more stout against the run, nearly regardless of the scheme or personnel group. Taylor also ran for a rushing touchdown. I really do. But when Gronkowski is healthy, it’s unlikely that this group is going to drop all that much lower than this.
