. . . I think the ONLY way the Bills will lose is as the result of another "strange" call at the end . . . similar to
- the game back in 98/99 where Brady completed a pass to the sideline on fourth down, the receiver appeared to land out of bounds, and as the referees were discussing the play, both Doug Flutie and and Andre Reed claim they heard one official say "just give it to 'em", allowing the drive to continue . . . and, a few plays later, called Defensive pass interference on a barely-touched Terry Glenn in the end zone, allowing another chance for the Pats to throw the game-winning TD
- the Sunday Night game with Kelly Holcomb at QB - featuring the return of Tedy Bruschi after a stroke - where Eric Moulds converted a crucial fourth-down on the Bills last possession . . . only to be overruled by a phantom offensive pass interference call on Moulds, allowing the Pats to take the lead and run out the clock
Thus, the Bills need to win big - by at least double digits - to avoid a repeat of this.
And don't think a repeat of this couldn't happen -- the national sports media is already creaming themselves over Tom Brady's stats in the first two games {as if they needed another reason to do so} . . . the NFL, and the networks that run it, have a vested interest in seeing Brady pile up stats and the Pats continue another unbeaten march; they'll do what they can to ensure both continue.
