A quick look at National Football League unbeatens Panthers, Patriots in Week 12

Actually, the truer statement is that the loser of this game will see its playoff chances diminished. Could it have been avoided if Rex Ryan wasn’t screaming in the face of the guy who was responsible for it? “I had pain in it, but I’m a competitor, so I’m going to go out there and play”, said Taylor.

Cam Newton passes as well as he did last week, when he threw for a career-high five TDs – to five receivers. He missed both games.

“I think with what they had, they pieced it together and they did the best they could by saying, ‘OK, the whistle didn’t affect the pass. It did affect this action at the end”. “I’m not a doctor, but they feel he’s going to be just fine”.

And if Taylor does play, he needs to be better than he has been lately.

– Just because the Patriots pulled this game out is no reason to keep that inadvertent whistle out of the Pantheon of Terrible Officiating, right up there with the push in the back call against the Jets a couple of years ago and the groundbreaking pass interference non-call on Luke Kuechly in that Panthers game. Occasionally, Gronkowski was guarded by cornerbacks Stephon Gilmore and Ronald Darby, but the key was to play physical with the tight end throughout the game so that he couldn’t get free releases off the line of scrimmage.

Taylor finished 20 of 36 for 233 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions.

Watkins has just six catches since breaking out with eight catches for 168 yards and a TD against the Dolphins in Week 9 and he could be a main focus for the Bills on Sunday. I thought Brady’s best throw all night was the deep crosser to Amendola with Corey Graham coming through the a-gap all up in his business.

Against a stout Chiefs defense that has outstanding pass rushers like Justin Houston and Tamba Hali, Taylor will need to be quick and sharp in his decision making because he probably will need to get rid of the ball quickly in order to avoid running around and exposing his damaged wing to contact. “He doesn’t take risks”, Ryan said of the four-time Super Bowl champion quarterback.

“Obviously, I have a lot of confidence in him”, Brady said. You look at the first-round picks on this defense they got Jones, they got Hightower.

SERIES HISTORY: 44th regular-season meeting. Chung held Karlos Williams on a 3rd-and-1, and the Bills punted. Edelman was not going to catch 11 balls for 97 yards and two touchdowns. “They won last week with the guy (Brock) Osweiler they had last week”.

In addition to the Bears and Buccaneers, Groy has spent time with the New England Patriots-joining the team via trade earlier this season during training camp.

Tom Brady called out Rex Ryan and then he beat the Bills – again. “It’s nearly like if we don’t use LeSean McCoy, that’s a mistake”.

It was a nice change of pace for former Wisconsin running backs, who have historically struggled in the NFL.

Ryan acknowledged he was so concerned about Taylor being hurt that he was ready to insert backup EJ Manuel. White added a 6-yard run in the third quarter to give New England (10-0) the lead for good. “A short week, got to prepare for Kansas City”. Rambo has been a big-play player for the Bills, but he is battling a shoulder injury.
