Flipping off Goodell
IMO, Buffalo did what was expected, and focused on stopping the run. Brissett was limited in what he could do. A low scoring game was to be expected.
The only thing that surprised me was that Belichick & McDaniels essentially rolled out an offensive game plan similar to what they did vs Houston. While it caught Houston by surprise, I didn't think it would work against a team that was ready for it, (thus I wasn't expecting to see it used again in the same way).
The surprising thing (to me) is that they were still in the game until the fumble by Brissett.
In any case, while I'd prefer that they go 19-0, I'm pretty happy to be 3-1 without Brady. I think most Pats fans said they'd be happy with that before the season started.
I wonder if BB and JMD had fully expected Garoppolo to be ready to go on Sunday and had to backtrack to Brissett and the vanilla game plan when Garoppolo couldn't go.
