Brady getting a hard time in Buffalo.

He was okay, the officiating crew stepped in and gave him every helping hand they could. Seriously, there were some terrible bogus penalties called against the Bills in this game, all either stalling a Bills drive or extending a Patriots one. I've never seen anything like it, the Patriots essentially had 18 men on the field. Some of the calls were so wrong you seriously have to question the integrity of the game. I wonder how much the betting syndicates would have lost had Buffalo won? Can't help but think things like that. 2 horrible PI calls against Bills receivers that resulted in 4th downs on otherwise successful 3rd down conversions, but nothing when Gronkowski did a completely blatant push off to help convert a 3rd and 17 on the drive that effectively sealed the game. The officials stunk, the Patriots were not that great, Brady is a motherfucker and I hope he contracts Ebola...

I almost forgot the best of the lot. The Bills stop the Pats on a 3rd and 2 forcing a punt. A Bills defender congratulates his teammate who made the stop by patting him on the helmet so the refs threw a flag and called him for unsportsmanlike conduct and a 15 yd penalty. The Pats go on to score on the drive. I'd say it was bad officiating but it wasn't: the fix was in right from the start in this game.

Wow

 

[The Bear]

British bloke looks just like Aaron Rodgers so goes to Green Bay to meet the man.

 

[Alan]

Bloody uncanny.

 

[The Bear]

Seattle have traded Percy Harvin with the New York Jets for a conditional mid-round draft pick.

That one came out of left-field!

 

[Carrotdude]

Reading around it seems they have been trying to get rid for a little while on the quiet, he's on a big contract and they obviously don't think he's worth it. I always thought he's looked very good when I've seen him

 

[The Bear]

That punt return from St Louis was awesome!

They're sticking it to Seattle.

 

[Carrotdude]

Bills 7-3 up in the Vikings after 2 Bridgewater picks in succession.

 

[James]

Ravens 14-0 up. Flacco has found some amazing form.

 

[Carrotdude]

This Colts defence is insane. Coming up to half time and zero first downs for the Bengals so far.

 

[Alan]

Get in Stills! Detroit just aren't the same without Megatron.

 

[The Bear]

Another awesome special teams play from St Louis bags a first down with a fake punt.

 

[Carrotdude]

Seattle lose 2 in a row for the first time in 2 years. Buffalo convert on 4th and 20 to keep them in it!

 

[The Bear]

Orton ----> Watkins

Wins the game with 1s left.

 

[Carrotdude]

Ouch man, very ouch.

 

[Alan]

Fuck off Saints. Fucking Hell.

Buffalo sure didn't deserve that win, they were horrible for 58 minutes. Some inspired play inside the final 2 minutes saved them from defeat. The Vikings defense was dominant and completely abused the turnstiles that the Bills put out on the o-line. CJ Spiller and Fred Jackson both went out early, Spiller likely done for the season with a broken collarbone.
