Bill Belichick has publicly expressed his respect and affection for the Buffalo Bills and coach Dick Jauron, but that didn't stop him or his team from manhandling them last night at Ralph Wilson Stadium. In fact, the Patriots showed no mercy at all as they tallied up 56 points, which included touchdowns on their first seven possessions.
What more can be said? It was another dominant performance by a team that is probably the best the NFL has ever seen. Tom Brady and Randy Moss connected 10 times for 128 yards and four touchdowns, while the Patriots defense held the Bills to 78 yards rushing and 229 yards overall.
Not all was lost for Buffalo, however. Despite their ugly performance on the field, the entire stadium was treated to a heartwarming message prior to the game.
Minutes before the players took the field to do battle, the Jumbotron came on and played a video from Bills tight end Kevin Everett, who suffered a near fatal spinal cord injury only 10 weeks ago. And his message was an extremely positive one. He let everyone know that he is finally home and expressed his thanks for the support from teammates, coaches and fans.
A loss is a loss and a life is a life. And while losing is never fun, the Bills and their fans have to walk away feeling great about their night after hearing such great news from Kevin Everett. I know I did.

It's amazing how good you can be when you have been videotaping everyone's defensive signals for the last 4 years ...
My guess is that the Patriots are going for an undefeated season just to prove that no one really cares if you cheat as long as you look good doing it.

Yeah, its the videotape, it's not like the ENTIRE STADIUM can watch defensive signals or anything.

How could any team cheat their way to playing the way the Patriots are playing? This cheating thing is getting really OLD. How naive does one have to be to believe the Pats are the only team to ever do something like that? They are playing as flawlessly as any team can. I just don't see how any form of cheating can do that for you. It is beautiful to watch them play. And as far as outscoring teams like they have been, This is not pee wee soccer, so step up and stop them or stop the whinning.

I do not like the Pats, never have nor will, but,
they sure are a good team this year and that old
cheating stuff is so stupid. The Jets could cheat
all they want and would still be 2-8.
The Pats have a good team, a great offensive line.
QB,Receivers, Defense are good but no better than
a lot of the top teams. Offensive line is great.
Cowboy fan since 1963 and proud of it.

The Bills didn't deserve to be humiliated on national television the way they did Sunday.

Justin, If you're concerned about Buffalo humiliation either encourage them to get a better defense or start playing the flute. Buffalo would humiliate New England, if they could. That's life.

Buffalo PURPOSELY played that tape of Everett telling them to beat the pats to psych the team up. Then, at home, with a world of motivation and emotion, they got schooled. Yes, they DID deserve to lose like that. Stop the fourth string running back from gaining 5 yeards a carry, sometime, and then say you don't deserve it. The truth is, the pats are demoralizing opponents, and shame on the other teams for basically tanking it after three quarters. Pats' SCRUBS are looking like world beaters by then. If you give up, THAT's how bad it looks, folks. Grow up and get some pride.

The Buffalo Bills laid another egg on prime time television. The Patriots are the new football villains of the NFL. It is good for the league.

Your all right. The Bills have no reason even playing football.Their defence is weak (I mean really week)of course alot has to do with injuries, but all teams have to deal with that. The offence, well what can I say about that (lets pick a quarterback and stick with through thick or thin). Losman has 4 years experience on Trent. Losman has a strong arn but Trent seems to be more acurate. Please the season is over so lets lrt Trent play and buy next year he will have learnt alot. Losman, Evans is his man other than that he seems to throw alot of balls into the ground. JUST ONES MAN THOUGHTS.

How soon we forgot the beating laid on the PATS by the BEARS, look if you pride is hurt then do something about it
1. stop the run
2. stop the pass
3. block a kick
4. stuff the run-back
but stop being a cry baby about it

And all you people
that are attacking the Patriots because it's not your team setting
records and handing every teams ass to them. You should all be glad
that you are seeing history being made. There has never been a team
so dominate as the Patriots are and there probably never will be
again. So enjoy the History in the making and at least you can all
dream and wish it was your team.
Peace out

DALLAS had the PatrIdiots 24-21 and a 4th and 1 Dallas got a 1st down which was called back for holding,which would had led to at least 3 pts. And Dallas held The PatrIdiots 3 X's on 3 rd down and all 3 where givin back to the Patr-idiots on BOGUS penalties which led to pts. Well not this time, ( if u make the SB which will be all Blue with the COWBOYS vs COLTS.)Win all the games you want in reg. season, but don't count on being in Arizona.
