Buffalo Bills Snap 15-Game Losing Streak To New England Patriots, 34-31

PrintThe Buffalo Bills cannot be overlooked anymore. They came from behind this afternoon to beat the New England Patriots 34-31 on a field goal as time expired, moving to 3-0 on the season.
The story of the day was the secondary, who rebounded from a bad effort against the Oakland Raiders with four interceptions against Tom Brady. While Wes Welker enjoyed a career day, the Bills picked off Brady four times for the first time since their 31-0 win to open the 2003 season.
Trailing 21-0 late in the second quarter, Buffalo scored 10 points before halftime and another touchdown to start the third quarter, putting together a 17-point run to get within a score of the Patriots. New England pushed their lead to a touchdown after Buffalo's defense held in the red zone, forcing a field goal to make it 24-17 to end the third quarter.
The fourth quarter belonged to Buffalo. Fred Jackson scored on a touchdown plunge. Drayton Florence turned a pass batted by Marcell Dareus' helmet into a pick-six. The Patriots came back and scored on fourth-and-goal to tie it at 31-31 with a few minutes left.
On the ensuing drive, Ryan Fitzpatrick found Donald Jones on the first play for 29 yards to midfield. Back-to-back passes to Jackson moved the Bills to the Patriots' one-yard line after Jackson's touchdown run was overturned, noting he was down prior to the goal line with 1:43 remaining.
It couldn't have worked out any better for Buffalo. Bill Belichick lost his cool and cost his team a timeout, leaving them with one remaining. After several snaps, kneels and penalties, Rian Lindell booted a 28-yard field goal through the uprights to give Buffalo their first win against New England in 16 games.
We will obviously have way more on this game in the coming days, but now's a time to celebrate, Bills fans. Get to it!

Could Some Explain that timeout?
I know that Bill was throwing a tantrum because they didn’t give Buffalo a TD but that was the first time I seen them take a timeout for something like that.
Most likely because he wouldn’t leave the field of play, the ref prolly warned him that if he didn’t leave they would be charged a time out.
Yeah they didn’t “take” it, the refs charged them one.
No weekend spent pantsless is a wasted weekend.
Didn’t the Pats have to take a TO? Otherwise the clock would have run down to about a minute. I don’t think that Belichek screwed up there so much as he had to take that TO to try to save some time for his team.
I wasn't sure I was going to like the white helmets but seeing them in the practice footage, I've got to say that I love the look.
They said on the radio that they were charged. I could be wrong though.
No weekend spent pantsless is a wasted weekend.
I didn't see anyone take a time out
it looked like it was charged on TV
The clock kept running even after it was ruled a touchdown, I think he wanted the time put back on so he could call a timeout with the extra 6 or 7 seconds on the clock.

Belichick wanted further explanation after an acceptable one had been given. In order to continue the stoppage he would have had to take a timeout. Since he was still on the field of play, the refs charged him for one. That’s my way of explaining it though I’m sure we’ll hear something more official.
by MattRichWarren on Sep 25, 2011 5:33 PM EDT up reply actions
official explanation was
if they did not take a time out, the clock would have started running again as soon as the ball was spotted, since jackson was tackled in bounds….
once the review upstairs was confirmed down at the one, the clock would start.
the pats had to call a time out. deep down, i think bill was screaming because the
refs probably pissed him off during the 4th quarter.
he said in his press conference he had to call the time out.
i was actually surprised fred did not stop short of the goal line intentionally.
chan was certainly relieved……
what a comeback….
We'd have still been ahead.
Brady couldn’t beat us realistically before time ran out, he could only have tied up the game.
Though I do agree our last couple of trips to OT have not been very productive.
I actually got to see that Bill B thing, thanks to the Jags and Panthers finishing up early and no late game on CBS here, and I turned to my stepfather and said, “I think we just saw Bill Belichick get T’d up!”

Yeah...
But this wasn’t Miami-Notre Dame 1988, where a tie is as good as a loss. He’d have 15 minutes to win the game here.
And Bill Belichick is, I hate to admit, not an idiot. He’d have kicked the point and gone to OT.

the OL that the naysayers said sucked at the beginning of the year? You know, the naysayers that were attacking Nix for “not addressing” the OL. Maybe the FO does know more than we do.
They have played three solid games in a row. Me thinks they are for real.
Great play calling helped too.
The 2 picks were not Fitz’s fault…a tip and a 4th down prayer were not the result of any line failure.

I always liked him
He has been a very good coach everywhere he’s been and was fired after making the playoffs two years in a row (and his only two years with the team) by an owner who regrets firing him.
He is a play calling master and it’s hard to argue with his methods of bringing in obscure coaches (besides Wannstedt) who teach good fundamental football.
The personnel moves have sometimes been questionable but that was Buddy and those are paying off as well.

Best day for me since the Houston comeback
Sometimes it is better to be thought a fool than to speak and leave no doubt!
hindsight is 20-20 but
all of this was put in motion the day chan and fitz started drawing up
and executing the offense….
the ravens game was the taste of what was to come….
today was the confirmation that they really know what the hell
they are doing……
though i would say it was obvious last yr………..
Donald jones quietly had a big day, 5 for 101. Huge game from almost everywhere, just amazeing. Pats scored 10 points in the second half, the halftime adjustments are crazyballs game changeing.

Gailey said he doesn’t think it’s “serious serious” which he said sounds like a bad thing to say, but he means that he thinks it won’t be a season-ending thing. Which means, obviously, that he’s not paralyzed or anything like that. Could still be bad but it’s not the worst.

not drop five passes before making two long catches at the end?
Im one of Donald Jones’ biggest fans here but his early drops were a large part in us going down so much so early. Enjoy the wins now but eventually it won’t cut it anymore going down early in NFL games. Donald is doing just fine but he can get better and we will need him to if we want to be legitimate Super Bowl contenders.
Also, Im glad you changed your name from “PaperBagHeads”! That wouldnt be fitting of an undefeated fan now would it! :)
This even grates my passive cheese - LeClaire Bill
Poz – yeah, I gotta concede that the drops were bad news and that one led directly to an INT, as MRW points out below. Jones does have work to do, but overall it was a very positive contribution.
Thanks for noticing the name change. I made up the first one shortly before the draft when I was convinced we would do something dumb like draft the 3rd highest receiver, since we didn’t need receivers (like we didn’t need a running back the year before). Happily, I was wrong.

Heard TV announcers mention the losses of Evans ,Poz and Whitner.I will not say anything negative about Donte but I do beleive getting the other 2 highly overated players out of town has made this team much better and so much fun to watch.
I will not put them in the playoffs yet but how can you not love this team.
I still think it was a bad trade
They should have gotten more than a forth round draft pick
Congrats
That was a great win.

YES! BUT..................
It was voluntary by the Bills staff. they lowered them I would guess as symbolic for the win. Thats what it seemed like, cause there was not a rush of fans to the field. The fans did hang for a while after that one though. Freddy and Fitz stayed late.
Am I wrong, or was Brady at least the equal of Tom Brady today?
And in fact outplayed him? That first interception in fact bounced off the receiver’s hands so it should not really be held against him. And in fact he came very close to two additional TD passes — on that penalty to David Nelson in the endzone that Nelson likely would have caught if he wasn’t being blatantly held, and on Freddie Jackson’s near-miss on getting the ball over the goalline.
And does anyone now doubt that we have a solid o-line — especially our LT?
Yes, Brady was the equal of Brady today. It might work out that way every day.
But, yes…for this one day, Ryan Fitzpatrick was the better QB on the field. Amazing.

I have loved watching the last three games, but the Bills pessimist in me keeps thinking it’s all going to come to an end soon. I’m loving the ride though, and with Sissynatti next week, there’s a good shot that we’re 4-0 heading into NYJ.

now waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaait a minute........
the bills make me wanna SHOUT!!!!
the single greatest game. i won’t come down off this high for weeks.
Confidence builder
The Bills have to be feeling pretty good about the teams’ ability to (a) play with anyone in the league and (b) overcome adversity. Buffalo has a very winnable game in Cincy next week, the sort of game that good teams dominate from start to finish. After that the Eagles come to Buffalo and then the Bills go to New Jersey to play the Giants. Beating the Bengals and sneaking out a win against either of the NFC East teams would send the Bills into the bye at 5-1.
I wasn't sure I was going to like the white helmets but seeing them in the practice footage, I've got to say that I love the look.
Vick broke his hand today. not sure how long he will be out. could be facing Kafka at QB vs the Eagles….

She does have a great work ethic and agility, but I’m really concerned that at 9 lbs., she’s too small to play safety in the NFL. She also bites way too often on play action and is easily distracted by someone waving string in the crowd.

Three things:
1) Chan Gailey is an offensive mastermind and one of the best offensive minds in the game – the Pats’ defense had no answer for his play calling and our execution
2) The offensive line – WOW! Joe D’Alessandris deserves SO much credit for how he has been able to create a great O-line through a lot of hard work and despite their many struggles to begin, they’ve grown tremendously each game.
3) Hats off to Buddy Nix. The guy has found some true gems like David Nelson, Donald Jones, Scott Chandler, Erik Pears, Fitz (and his commitment to Fitz) and his decisions to let Poz and Whitner go are right now looking like very good decisions.
Just thankful to be a Bills fan today – the only thing I didn’t like at all was our defensive playcalling but I give a lot of credit to solid adjustments at half time and a great job of being aggressive by the DB’s. Sure they got burned a ton but making plays makes up for it.

We beat a bad team on the road. We beat a decent team at home on a comeback. We beat an elite team at home (truly an upset). Think this was the definition given last week after the win. Hence, we are good : )

the Giants on the road in week 6. They are a very solid football team with multiple recent winning seasons, multiple playoff seasons. A win vs them in week 6 would show me we have what it takes. I think a win vs Philli the week before OR a win vs the Giants will likely mean we are a playoff quality team this year (we may already be).

Yep. But can you imagine this game with Aaron Hernandez in it? One active TE almost did us in.
The DL injuries and Patrick Chung, who is arguably their best DB, helped out a bit too.
Their starting RT being gone is similar to Urbik/Rinehart for me. It’s like 1 and 1A, but they liked to bring Solder onto the field as a 3rd TE and they couldn’t do that with Vollmer being out.
We did what we had to do to win, that’s the biggest thing. I just don’t want us getting big heads as fans and think we are SB contenders. This Cinci game will be a lot tougher than most are expecting. They have a much stronger defense than anybody we have played yet. We will get to see if our new O can continue against a, seemingly, competent defense.

The sky is the limit now. I have predicted all along that if the Bills won this game, it would carry them to even more wins in the season than should happen, simply because of the confidence boost that they can indeed beat any team in the league.
Now all Gailey has to do is keep them level-headed for the preparation for next week’s game. I’m also hoping the Bills continue to have few if any season-ending injuries or short-term serious injuries.

Hello NFL, The Buffalo Bills are for real.
I have to give a lot of credit to Buddy Nix and Chan Gailey. There was a lot of apathy this year toward those two men here and in the general fan base. Well, looks like Buddy is finally showing us the baby.
I see so many similarities to this team and the way the Chargers were rebuilt when Nix was there. I see a future for this team for the first time in a long time. This is awesome.

It is for moments like these that we stick with the Bills through thick and thin.

i think
my wife finally understood today why I love this team so much and kept watching them despite all the misery they provided me over the last decade. It’s all worth it for days like these. these first 3 weeks really couldn’t have gone any better.
What a huge victory! I may just have to plunk down $39.99 for NFL Game Rewind to see it in the entirety.
I will say the one thing that worries me is the consistent falling so far behind. I remember the 90s Bills of the glory years were very much the same way – you always knew they had a chance to come back. The problem was, sometimes good teams wouldn’t allow them back in the game but would put them away. That does worry me about this team.
However, I will also say that this Bills’ team is MUCH better coached than that team was. Marv was a master of managing the Bills’ huge personalities. Chan is a true offensive coaching genius.

The best thing about the end of the game
I agree with Caymon that the team’s attitude is the best thing going right now — at the end of the game, when Lindell’s kick went through, everyone celebrated like it was … a win. Not a huge upset, not the Biggest Win In A Decade, not The End of The Streak, just … a win. A big win, yes, good to jump around for a few minutes and celebrate with the fans, run around with the flags, but not something that had to be celebrated because it’s the most important thing that might happen this year. Just a big win, enjoy it for today, and come in and look at film of this game tomorrow, fix the mistakes, and get ready for the Bengals.
Awesome. The attitude is what makes me feel this is for real and this could turn out to be a special year …

Mckelvin had some good plays all around and also made some really sound tackles.

What was that all about? It had to be something with wanting more time on the clock. Second question. Did Belichick take the time out because the game clock was going to run now that it wasnt a touchdown, or did he get that because he wouldnt let the ref walk away?

by Eric Murawski on Sep 25, 2011 6:13 PM EDT up reply actions
definitely the clock
honestly, the Patriots got some BRUTAL calls at the end there that probably cost them a minute to see if Brady could respond. First, I didnt see what the “unsportsmanlike conduct” call was that gave us a fresh first down from the one and second, there was definitely a 1:51 on the clock not 1:43. Still, hes got to keep his cool there, I have no idea why he called timeout!
This even grates my passive cheese - LeClaire Bill
Well the unsportsmanlike was because Wilfork, after the whistle, slammed one of the bills players head into the ground. he deserved that for sure. And I think that Bellichick was forced to use that time out because he knew when there was no TD that the BIlls would run 25 seconds down, and he needed to save as much time as possible for the golden boy to attempt a comeback. I really am not sure though.

It seemed to me that the Bills really gave up trying to get to Brady. Instead, it looked to me like they had one guy attach Brady up the field, and everyone else was trying to flood passing lanes and get their hands in the way.
Either that or we just got zero pressure at all so they just threw their hands up in hopes of hitting a ball or two.

2. Is there anyone on this site that wouldn’t love to see Grankowski in a Bills uniform?
Those two guys are special, but what a great win.
I said this earlier, but I met Gronkowski at the hotel last night. What a sight. I couldn’t believe how large of a guy he was. Even standing next to other players, he is a absolute beast.

I wanted the Bills to pick Gronkowski las year, and was hoping they would trade back up in the 1st round to get him. The only question on Gronkowski coming out of school was his neck surgery he had during his Sophomore or Junior year in college.
He is unbelievable. You really can’t cover him, you almost have to get in his inside back pocket and guess the route (seam anyone?) and then turn and act as the receiver. You have to live with a double move or with him breaking off the route. His hands are also incredible.

I have a routine:

2. Have 2nd qtr espresso. Pray
3. At half time, briefly contemplate going back to bed. Slap myself. Post again on rumblings…usually agro positive. espresso kicking in.
4. Third qtr, check fantasy team. Have Fitz, Stevie and Chandler. Think I wish these guys would get me a touch down at least. Oh wait Stevie scored…oh so did Chandler. grab another espresso
5. 4th qtr, start defibrillator and put on a nappy. Have another espresso

I didn’t mean to be a bummer to you, JJS. Once you get older, football games aren’t quite as epic, though. I’m almost 50 and the day my son was born was way more important to me that the Bills loss in Super Bowl XXV about a month later. That’s all I was saying.

I'm talking about
the one that he hit to win the game. I know the other one was a more difficult kick. I was saying that Lindell’s clutch kick was a short easy kick.
I'm saying
before this season started you and I had a convo about how you thought the Bills needed to get rid of Lindell because he couldn’t make the clutch kicks. He made 2 of them today that is all. Not trying to give you a hard time just saying he DOES have the ability and these are the ones to remember great game for the Bills!

I was reading the article just now about the Bills over at the ESPN AFC East blog and the Jets fans are even trolling. One guy had the nerve to say we haven’t played any good teams and wait until we play the Chargers (who barely beat KC, a team we pulverized in Week 1), the Jets (who just lost to the Raiders, another team we beat), and the Ravens (who we don’t even play).

McKelvin gets my game ball. After being made a goat last week to respond how he did is truly impressive
Obviously with a like this there are players all over the team who deserve one, but McKelvin responded to a bad game with some BIG plays.
His INT provided a spark and some life when things were looking bleak. Then he has a monster stop on 3rd and short in the red-zone to hold the Pats to a FG.
Way to overcome and persevere Leodis.

The way I see it, we’re a team in transition just learning (finally) how to win games. Oakland and New England are both really good teams. We’re going to start slow in some games and make mistakes. BUT, to overcome those mistakes against those teams and win is a truly impressive feat. That speaks volumes about the entire team. I would prefer they didn’t start slow but 3-0 is a huge achievement for a team that was previously predicted to possibly be the worst team in the league.

Cromartie
Not sure who else is watching this game, but Comartie is having a rough go today after a tremendous game last week. Something like 4 PI calls and a fumble on a KR that was recovered by the Raiders and led to a TD. Some of the calls were pretty bad, or close at best. I actually feel bad for the guy. The Raiders D-line is ticking it to Sanchez pretty hard and they look really good.

I don't usually root against players

prediction for 2011 season is 5 and 11
Cromartie: You wanted to see me, Commissioner?
Goodell: Yes. We need to talk. These hits to defenseless receivers are crossing the line. Your conduct on and off the field is in breach of NFL standards and we need to do something about it.
Cromartie: I know, I know. It’s a heat of moment the play is moving to fast kind of thing.
Goodell: I understand. You seem genuinely remorseful. I suppose we can go a little easy on you.

why do they interview the losing QB, and not the winning QB?

As I said earlier in the week, just scraping by wasn’t going to be good enough. In order for the Bills to get respect from the national media, they had to win decisively. They didn’t do that. They’re not going to rank the Bills highly until they beat an “elite” team flat.

Ecstatic for the win, but still somewhat cautious
Was there generally one player in general responsible for allowing Welker to have such a great day?
Great win and all, but this has got to stop.. a rookie WR last week and now Welker absolutely shredding us.. was this on McKelvin again?
If Welker doesn’t walk all over us we win by much more. Of course, if Brady doesn’t throw all those picks, the outcome would probably be different.
Cincy next week.. this early schedule looks pretty nice.
retro
Welker
burns anyone one who covers him any day. He’s just a SOLID player with (I hate to say this but I’m honest) one of the best QB’s ever throwing to him. He’s fast, elusive, and small. Hard to cover all the way around so I was not surprised by this.
by LaFemmeNiBuffalo on Sep 25, 2011 9:53 PM EDT up reply actions
I'd say the lack of a pass rush was the biggest reason for Welker having a big day
Welker will get open enough for Brady to get him the ball if given enough time. The pass coverage was OK, better than last week but we have almost no pass rush.
We also had 4 picks, so the secondary had a very very good day in that department. Wilson and McKelvin had very good coverage on their picks and Scott made a heck of a play to catch the ball on his and Florence’s came when the D tipped a Brady pass.

And it is my sincere hope that if the Bills and Raiders do indeed meet in the playoffs, that that game will be just like the last time they met in the post-season.

Let's not get hasty.
The game has to happen first.

Holy heck, what a game.
Congratulations fans of the Bills. You really deserve the past could of wins you’ve pulled down. Your second half hustles remind me of the Jets when they were playoff caliber last year.
Congrats again. Good luck this year when you’re not facing us.

Cogratulations on the game tonight, guys, and ripping the monkey from your backs.
Great game and good luck on the season.

Good Game, Bills
It was a sloppy, messy, game all around…I’m sure Brady and Fitz alike would like to have several of their passes back, and I’m sure the officials wish they could have made calls differently for both sides, but the Bills definitely took advantage of the opportunities they were given and made the Pats pay. That’s what good teams do.
Your job is not done, though! I hope the Bills can sustain this run and not end up like the ’09 Broncos and waste an excellent start. Take care of those bastards in Green.
Good luck on the rest of the season. Too bad we have to wait such a long time to get a chance to redeem ourselves ;)

Congrats guys
I was watching the game at a Jet bar down in South Florida. To be honest we were all rooting for the Pats to lose, but in the end I can say that several of us were won over. Not that we became Bill fans all of a sudden but yeah we started talking about how this may just end up being a 3 team race after all. Good luck the rest of the way.

I think there is a cream that will cure that for you...but thanks. Try to keep it positive, funny and/or crass.

Yeah that did not convey my appreciation accurately.
The descriptions and colorful way you post gives a good visual. One can almost picture your wife shaking her head at your dedication while smiling the whole time. My wife is not much of a fan of my Bills dedication, but it is my only vice.

Don't bother.
They haven’t paid a single bit of attention to any of my angry letters, abusive calls or toilet paper campaigns over the years.

yeah but is the satisfaction of telling all the Dallas and San Fran fans that work there that they suck as badly as there teams do

Hmmm, I'll keep that in mind.

Chan Gailey's absolutely do
I swear I just love the way he answers questions, sometimes getting off some really good one-liners too. He’s a very direct dude who occasionally lets his wit show through.
"We can't injure our elbows patting ourselves on the back." --Chan Gailey
No BS and honest.
Every coach I have played for or watched who is successful has the same trait.
Knucklehead showboaters like Rex Ryan become bigger than the team become a distraction.
Chan is exactly what this team needed. In my view Buddy has done a good job but getting Chan was a first class get. I am so glad we didn’t get Shanahan who hires his son. As soon as Cowher turned his nose up at us I didn’t want a bar of and ego/star coach.
We have got a real good one here.
The Amish Rifle is your god now!
yes, A coach who the players like and want to play hard for – but also a coach who can actually fricking coach and wait for it – make adjustments and win games – holy cow – now that sounds completely different to any other recent Bills coaching !

aye. I would love to play for him too. I would play water boy/linebacker/chief squirrel gripper

PROPS TO THE O LINE
We all must admit that we were worried about our offensive line to start the season. But i must say, I give them so much credit to protect The Amish Rifle the way they do. Giving him time to find receivers and get the ball down the field. We also know that Fred is a monster on his own but that line is doing a very good job blocking and opening up some lanes for him. So lets give some props to our well deserved offensive line. Way to go guys.
GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!
I may be the most humbled person here when discussing this offensive line. I’m a bit in disbelief, really. It’s awesome. I hope it sticks!

Some more thoughts
We were not on our game yesterday…AND STILL BEAT THE PATRIOTS. Please think about that for a moment. We did not play perfectly. We made a lot of mistakes, especially early with Fitz’s INTs and some silly penalties. We didn’t need to score on every drive in the second half, we punted a few times. We overcame a huge deficit against a team that does not allow teams to overcome deficits. But most importantly, we did not play perfectly, and yet were still able to come out and beat the best team in the NFL. Yesterday’s effort, in my mind, legitimized the first two games.
Also, Moorman rocks. I thought he punted very well yesterday. Kudos to STs.
