I can’t make excuses, two balls on the ground is unacceptable. I’m not going to sit on the past. I have to accept where I messed up, made a mistake and grow from it. That’s really all you can do, not point the fingers but come back to work tomorrow. I hate it and it’s unfortunate but it’s part of the game of football that I’m just going to have to keep working, keep driving and keep pushing forward. We’ve got 15 weeks in front of us and I’m going right back to work.

Ridley saying the right things, but he’s not going to keep getting chances if he doesn’t hold onto the ball. Like permanently. Maybe they need to do The Program drill with him where he has to carry the ball around everywhere he goes and guys can try to knock it away. Even when he’s in his onesie. Ugh…

Not much time to reflect on this one and that’s probably for the best. Reading too much into the opening game of the season is futile. If nothing else, it establishes the baseline of performance and gives each player and unit something to build off of. Anyone trying to extrapolate what every hit or miss from yesterday means in the big picture at this point is foolish.

One thing we can take away is that this is yet another Patriots team with plenty of fight and that will take them a long way regardless of whatever strengths or weaknesses begin to recur.

Edelman spikes like Gronk and scored like Gronk

Happy for the win, especially given that that there were no major injuries. One thing that stuck out to me was Vellano being heavily used to spell Kelly and Wilfork. Also, a lot of play action passes for Patriots, without a ton of success. I was surprised that Sudfeld was sparingly used, and some of the missed connections (especially the corner of the endzone throw to Edelman) made me wonder about what Dobson can do on those types of routes when healthy. Looking forward to your commentary.

Thanks, good thoughts. Curious to see the snap totals on a lot of guys, especially Vellano. Like usual thought he had some good, some bad. It’s hard not to think this is exactly what we should’ve expected. That was exactly how week one divisional games almost always seem to go, especially when they’re on the road in a tough place like Buffalo.

Yet again the Bills just couldn’t put the Pats away and Brady came back to ruin their day. 

There’s no question this offense will be a work in progress, but if you look long term – when Gronk is back, Amendola is healthy, and the rooks have experience – I think we’ll be just fine.

Patriots vs. Bills: Takeaways from New England’s 23-21 Win over Buffalo

Here are my takeaways from the game, including how impressed I was with Amendola’s toughness and ability to make tough catches in crunch time.

Amendola recorded a whopping seven catches on third down that converted for the first downs, including two huge ones on the game-winning drive. He finished the day with 10 catches for 104 yards. That right, seven of his ten catches were on third down, accounting for seven of the Pats’ 11 total conversions on the day.

Amendola might be nursing his groin injury for a while, but there’s no question how tough he is as a player and his willingness to go after the tough catches in the key moments of the game. That’s something the Patriots lacked the last few seasons.
