MNF Game 1: Bills at Patriots(-10.5)

The one on Wilfork earlier was a joke but you can't body slam the QB when the whistles are blowing. That's a flag every time. Dumb play by Thomas killed what was left of the Pat's chances.

Body slam? It was a tackle, and he was in the process of finishing the play as the whistles blew. What this gets you are needless penalties for players doing what they've been taught to do since they were 8 years old - or you get the opposite play where a defender eases up thinking they might blow the play dead and they don't want to draw one of these dumbass penalties. Big guys like Toothlisberger can walk right out of one of those and convert a third down or throw a TD pass - all because QBs aren't treated like the rest of the players on the field. Let's face it - if Thomas made that play on Fred Jackson instead of the QB we're not talking about this. The league is overprotective of QBs to a fault - even the crappy ones.

Wow! Just take a knee, man. Possession is (was) everything at this point.

Pats might escape, yet.

He spun him around and slammed him while the whistles were blowing. These days, they will call that every time.

Who is arguing that with you? That's the NFL of the 21st century. I don't like it, either, but it didn't just start tonight.

NE might've scored too quickly. Buffalo only needs a FG.

Going to be a tough loss if they don't get it, because they played pretty well tonight.
