Brady throws for 466 yards, leads Patriots past Bills 40-32

Brady found Edelman on an 8-yard pass for the Patriots’ first touchdown with a little over four minutes left in the first quarter.

Said Kyle Williams: “I couldn’t have forecast how bad we were, that’s how I would look at it. We’ve got to be better”.

Let’s start with the defense. The match-ups seemed to be mismatched as you had a linebacker running down a wide receiver.

“He did an unbelievable job out there, especially with that noise”, said tight end Rob Gronkowski (seven catches for 113 yards and a touchdown). That surpassed George Blanda’s 54-year-old record for most passing yards against Buffalo by 2 yards. On its next five drives, the Buffalo’s offense totaled minus-6 yards.

Despite trailing 37-13 early in the fourth quarter, the Bills began a rapid rally back into the contest. Jacksonville rushed for 123 yards against Miami, so the game should be another test for New England’s rushing defense. He isn’t a rookie he just hasn’t been a starting quarterback until this year. Either way, expect the Bills to bring more pressure in the coming weeks. They need a lot of work. Instead of opting to blitz Brady, the Bills’ defenders dropped into coverage hoping the defensive line would create pressure.

That turn of events was reflective of an area in which the Patriots generally felt good about their performance Sunday. It starts with the offensive line.

“Their offense is simple, ” Bradham said. LeSean McCoy, who was listed as questionable due to his sore hamstring, played well with 89 yards on 15 carries plus three catches for 27 yards.

Buffalo put up a fight and if they play like they did in that fourth quarter, they will be a highly successful football team this season as The Washington Post predicts. Due to a lack calls for runs? The quarterback passed for more than 400 yards for the seventh time in his career as the Pats improved to 2-0 and showed everyone that it won’t be easy to unseat the kings of the AFC East in 2015.

Bills head coach Rex Ryan.

The Patriots entered this game as 1.5 point favorites, and with Ryan’s experience against the Patriots’ and the Bills’ incredible defensive unit, it was fair to wonder whether the Patriots could come out and beat the Bills.

Or are they the team that let Tom Brady throw for the most yards in franchise history while collecting penalties as if they were rare coins. There is no excuse for that.

Williams was at One Bills Drive on Monday. They overreacted and threw tantrums like immature children who didn’t get their way. It doesn’t matter how much talent you have, if you cause penalties, you are a liability. Lewis fumbled for the second straight week, but was not replaced Sunday as we have seen Bill Belichick do in past instances.

Buffalo (1-1) had vowed this season would be different under Ryan, the former New York Jets coach who took over the Bills in January.

“[Bill] Belichick outcoached me”, Ryan said. If they thought that Rex Ryan will come with a magic wand and will change everything didn’t really happen.

Brady looks ageless right about now and has 754 yards, 7 touchdowns and no interceptions in his first two games.

COACHING: F – Offensive coordinator Greg Roman scripted a flawless opening drive that resulted in a TD, but thereafter it got much more hard against the adjusting Patriots. Attitudes have to stay in check.

The Bills take the field.
