BEFORE MOVING ON TO THE JETS, ONE LAST LOOK AT THE BILLS' GAME

10/13/2014

Yesterday the Patriots took over sole control of the AFC East as they took down the up and coming Buffalo Bills 37-22 at Ralph Wilson Stadium.  With that win came both positives and negatives.  Here is a quick look at them.
GOOD-With the score tied 7-7 Brady held onto the ball when getting tackled from behind.  A change of possession at this point in the game on the 20 yard line could have changed the outcome of the game.

GOOD-After going up 10-7 late in the half the Patriots actually deciding to go for more points instead of just taking the usual knee with less than a minute left.  While they didn't score on that drive they did end up getting the ball back and kicking a field goal to go up 13-7.

LUCKY- The loose ball staying in bounds allowing for a Patriots fumble recovery.

GOOD- Completion to LaFell on 3rd and 9 heading out of the break.  Next play was touchdown pass to Tyms.  Tyms made one heck of a catch and Bills missed an opportunity to turn the momentum. 

GOOD- Patriots won the turnover battle and capitalized on all of them.

GOOD- While they gave up more yards and points than they would like to, they caused 3 turnovers and had 5 sacks.  They also made stops early in the game never allowing the Bills to take a lead. 

GOOD- Scored on the last 5 possession of the game.  Three touchdowns and 1 field goal in the second half.

WORST- Injuries to Ridley, Connolly and Mayo. 

BAD- Gronkowski appearing injured for a spell.

BAD- Edelman not calling for a fair catch and then basically getting hit by a truck. 

BETTER- Although three and outs are never good, the timing of them made them acceptable as they pretty much came after short defensive stints. 

BEST- A variety of players were involved in the Patriots' offense, hopefully officially earning the trust of Tom Brady.  LaFell had 2 TDs while Tyms and Wright had 1 each. 

GOOD- Chandler Jones looked pretty healthy out there.

STILL NOT SURE- Patriots went away from the run game and Ridley pretty quickly.  Not sure if it went along with Connolly injury.
