One the best efforts by a New England team in the glory-laden Belichick era.
Awesome, awesome job.
Now to beg for some help.
Hector Longo out.
Be sure to read Bill Burt’s thoughts and Hector’s two-minute drill in the monday editions of The Eagle-Tribune.

Belichick pounds the beaten fighter with a quick kick to the two, a genius call if there was one.
This comes off the Bills throwing on fourth-and-one against the wind.
My eight-year-old is more qualified to coach an NFL team than Dick jauron.
All of Swampscott can hang its head in shame.

J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets!
Pats go up two scores in this one, the equivalent of a 12-0 lead in soccer.
Time to start rooting for the Mangenius, folks.

Bill Belichick is toying with his counterpart, how about the second successful fourth-down keeper by matt cassel?
Was any defense more unprepared the second time around than the bills?

Offense
Line (B-) … Winning the battle, sort of. It’s not like the Pats are dominating here. Crucial early false start by Nick Kaczur.
Backs (B) … They’re running hard, not Freddie Jackson hard, but hard.
QB (A) … Terrific run by Cassel helps kill the 2nd quarter.
Receivers (Inc) … Wind makes it impossible to grade.Ben watson no [...]

All of New England has to be scratching its head right now, wondering how Stephen Gostkowski’s field goal try did not go through from 26 yards out.
Yikes.

The Buffalo Bills have become, under Dick Jauron, the great American tease team.
Watch this team pushing around the Patriots, because it doesn’t matter.
They could throw a severe wrench into all the Patriots playoff plans. After a 3-0 first quarter, things do not look good.

Nick kaczur flinches at the wrong time, forcing a punt.
And matt slater, he of the muffed kickoff costing this team dearly against the steelers, doesn’t try to cover the muffed punt, he tries to toss it back, not realizing it was tipped.
Just two dumb plays, and half the first quarter is over. The pats lose [...]

We’re three minutes in, and I’ve had enough of Gumbel and Dierdorf telling me about the wind.
We get it, it’s blowing. Pats take the ball with the wind, time to go to work here near midfield.
