I don't think the Pats have arrived yet, but these wins, do show a positive move in the right direction. The Bills/Pats games are always tough, being AFC east rivals they know each other's weaknesses. I also think the Bills walked into the game over confident
I only watched the NFL Summary - but it felt like in the first half the Bills were still playing well above the Pats but were making way too many mistakes, but in the second half Maye really looked solid and made some great and difficult plays.

This is definitely NOT a reflection on how the rest of the season will go, but I definitely think there are things for both teams to take away from this game.

The McDaniel's watch is back on with the Dolphins. Next week, they're facing the Chargers, and I don't expect an upset win. The Browns and Falcons the next two weeks, and I wouldn't be surprised to see them fall to those two teams as well.
Yeah it's bad. Bad vibes, the rookies are slow to develop, Tua has actually been pretty good, but gets zero time, it's just bad. At this point we need at least a new GM, new coach, and probably a new QB. Although I would rather get the new QB in '27 after rebuilding the lines even further. It's really bad right now.

I am secretly hoping that John Harbaugh gets fired and we can poach him.

What in the hell were the Bills wearing anyway?!?!?
I always just assume it is because I'm old and don't get it ... but I just hate all of these 'alternative uniforms' - and not just football, but baseball (Red Sox in YELLOW?!?), basketball and so on. I also tend not to say anything because I liked the Patriots 'red retro' uniforms that took me back to the Grogan era - again reinforcing it might just be a 'me being old' thing!

Nope. It's a "you have good taste and common sense... and very little disposable income" thing... /common sense.

I tend to agree with you. Alt unies and the "city connect" nonsense are mostly ugly and ridiculous.
I do like Boston's "green monster" set though.

I don't know about anyone else, but I about had a heart attack watching the end of last night's game (MNF). I was rooting big time for the Jags and when Lawrence fell down trying to get into the end zone for the win, I thought we were finished...but NO! He gets up and gets in for the TD!

Apologies to any Kansas City fans, but I'm tired of hearing about them and seeing them with a losing record doesn't hurt my feelings any at all.

Agreed, we people seem to be wired in such a that we tire of seeing overly successful people. We prefer to root for the underdog. Smugness/arrogance only accelerates the hatred. KC definitely has been smug these past few years. NY Yankees, are almost always accused of this, and for large portions of the patriots superbowl run, they've been accused of such tendencies (and I think that accusation is warranted).
 
Red Sox fans were insufferable during their run. Giants fans probably were considered the same during their run.

But Mike Singletary likes winners!

The throwback uniforms are ok. Dave Kreig's Seahawks and McKay's Bucs. City Connect, eh. But merch money is merch money.

Arizona Cardinals. D'oh!

NBA fans get bent out of shape when teams' star players are given their rest, and don't play in games they've bought tickets to.

But it's gotta be better than the NFL meat grinder, where you not only have to be good, but hope you stay relatively healthy.

What about the non-call on obvious PI against the Chiefs when the Jags were about to score? The Chiefs turned that illegitimate interception into 7 points!
