Bills hand Patriots first ever shutout at Gillette Stadium

Not the other way around.

PATRIOT REIGN: Beating the Patriots won’t be easy for the Bills.

With that, the Bills are only one game behind the Patriots – who are now at 3-1 – with the Jets and Dolphins trailing the Bills by one game at 1-3.

In any case, it was an important win for the Bills to move to 2-2 on the season while staying competitive in the AFC East. The Bills stayed salty throughout the game, especially the defense.

After all, it was once a bloodied Rex who was thrown in jail for scrapping with his twin brother, and it was Rob who said after the Bills’ 0-2 start this season that the Bills “had their nose bloodied” and “want to fight”.

Patriots play-caller Josh McDaniels hit the airwaves Monday to shoot down rumors that coaches were upset with Jimmy Garoppolo’s inability to get back on the field in time for Sunday’s loss to the Bills. “How’s that? I’ll stir some stuff up”.

Of course his answer was code for, he had no idea, which is why, during the week, he prepared for all three. Following Sunday’s game, Ryan said that his sources in the Patriot’s building told him Brissett would take the field.

New England scored 81 points through three games before Sunday’s matchup with the Bills.

New England finished with just 277 total yards. It was the first time the Patriots went without a first-quarter first down since Week 8 of 2011 against Pittsburgh.

LeSean McCoy had 108 all-purpose yards and a receiving touchdown. “Each game, each time he has a shot he has to call a play, different situations, he’s answering every time”. It definitely wasn’t a ideal game by any means.

“We’re probably going to hear the excuses that (Brissett) was a third-string quarterback”.

Here lie the Buffalo Bills, gone well before their time.

However, Ryan said after the game that he was given inside information in advance.

“Hey, you know, I can sit back and say I don’t care who plays quarterback because I know (Tom) Brady ain’t”, Ryan said.

“It’s allowing us to play fast and it’s showing”. As hard as it was for them to admit they were outplayed by Buffalo’s defense, which pitched a shutout Sunday. Brissett didn’t stop, and New England rookie receiver Malcolm Mitchell retaliated by shoving Blanton. And wherever they’re at physically, you try to manage that the best you can if they’re cleared to play.

The Bills also hurt the Pats by being up 13-0 at intermission. “Defensively not being able to get off the field, (the Bills) moving the ball up and down the field on long drives – we just didn’t play well”. This will likely be Brissett’s last start for this year. The Patriots fall to 3-1 and will be in Cleveland next week with Tom Brady back at the helm.

“That’s something you stress during the week”, he said. But Gronkowski’s disappearance the last two weeks, while not exactly concerning, is a bit frustrating, particularly with a rookie quarterback who could have utilized him a lot more.

You have to take something like this with a grain of salt considering that it’s coming from a perpetual troll like the Bills head coach.
