It's Official - Pats tie record! 18 wins in a row!!!

Richard Seymour just ran back a fumble to put them up by 2 with 2 minutes left.

So much can be said about this, but I'll just say one word: WOW.

Ok, I'm a NE fan and that was not really a good game. Very VERY VERY UGGGLY win, helped by the referee and the fact that the Bills are goofier then we are.

The wow was for the streak, not the win.

...but a win is a win and they've done it 18 times in a row, just like that...

Yeah Buffalo got robbed. But i don't care, after all the bogus calls that went against the Pats their first two weeks.

What did Buffalo get robbed on? I missed the second half...

First half was ugly, but good teams win the ugly ones, too.

Dillon clearly fumbled in the red zone a second time near the end, and the refs ruled him down by contact. The tough part was that he was falling on top of other players, and the refs let him continue to struggle for yards...but once the ball was out, they started motioning that he was down.

They've gotten plenty of breaks along the way, but 18 is impressive regardless.

The way Buffalo's offense was being destroyed in the second half they didn't seem likely to score again. So it's hard to say they were robbed of the victory, especially given the blatantly obvious holding call the refs missed on the dropped punt/40 yd run that led to Buffalo's last score.

Well i meant robbed on a couple plays. Not sure if they were robbed of the game. I never felt like the Pats were going to lose or were not playing good enough to win.

Even though the game was tied at halftime, I had no doubt in my mind that the pats were going to win. Not too many teams in the NFL that are like that...

Let's see....they play Miami next week. Well, I guess the only discussion is if they will win #20 in a row or not.

Are you sure it isn't because Drew Bledsoe was the QB on the other side?
