Patriots OPEN Season AT Buffalo!!!

[Michael82]

It has been leaked to the press that The Patriots will come to Buffalo on Sunday September 7th to play the Bills. WEEI-AM in Boston reported this a little while ago. They are apparently reporting their whole schedule. :up:

WOO HOO!!! Poor Brady! SPIKES will DRILL you to the ground and break you on the first week! WOO HOOO!! :party:

Interesting, the two teams that should be fighting for the division will start off the season playing one another.

SWEET!!!!! The Ralph is gonna ROCK!!! Im gonna travel up from Mass for that game!!!!

[fabolouspaul]

Hmm...I thought we would play a weak team in the 1st week. Too bad this game istnt on national tv since they already announced the 1st weeks televised games.

[Billz_fan]

Didn't we have a pool for this ??

I can't remember what the thread was named though :huh:

The pool was for our 1st game and wheter it be home or away and the opponent.

[venis2k1]

No better way to kick off the season than against a strong Div rival

[fabolouspaul]

Did they mention anything about the Bills-pats game in New england being on Mon night?

[Billz_fan]

I found it :D It was for 1000 Zone bucks. Guess what I picked ?

Patriots @ home :D

hopefully this gets confirmed :laughter:

Do we really want to play a division rival right away? Or do we want to give new players time to gel?


Like I said it's all about the coaching now. Problem is, our coaches will be facing Bellichick. Then again , with the addition of our new players Bellichik won't be able to scout our D that much.

I hope our coaches remember how the Pats killed us with those screen passes.

Sweet!!! I bet Drew will be chomping at the bit!!!

[TypicalBill]

If this is true and Drew wins his first game against his former team, then this season will be something special, he'll really put on a show the whole season!!!!

WooHoo!! I can't wait for the opener.

Who's buying my ticket? ;)

send up the money and we'll see what we can do ;).

[Valerie]

I was hoping to get the ticket without sending the money. lol

[PA Season Ticket Holder]

The season might be good if we kick the Pats ass, but it could turn out horrible if they kick our ass.

I'm sure nobody forgot what happened last year. After Drew got his ass kicked against Bellichek, he didn't do squat the rest of the year. I don't like this game being the first one of the year.

Day 1: MUST WIN (I'm already sweating it out)

Imagine the momentum that will be produced with a strong win against the Pats right after the starting gun sounds.


:biggrin:

[XNOUGHT]

This is a huge win that could define the season.

Pats and Bills will both start off slow and need time to gell so it should go back to the traditional close games.

No way one side blows out the other.

I dont think so, The Pats have no offense outside the dink and dunk. The Pats offense was geared toward defenses with slow, crappy linebackers ie us. We dont have that anymore, the Pats will not be able to do that. They have no run game, the O-line is okay at best, and Smith is very mediocre. The longball is not Brady's strongsuit, he doesnt have the accuracy. Low scoring game, but Buffalo dominates 17-6.

Unfortunately, the dink and dunk was proven very effective last season.

i hope we kick their :angry:ing @$$es.

:gobills:

[venis2k1]

They also havent drafted yet, they have like 7 day 1 picks or something crazy like that.

[The_Philster]

Looks like we'll start out 1-0 :D

[Brian H]

They may have the "dink and dunk" but there dink has never meant our new "DUNK" DAMMIT :)

[Schobel94]

It was effective last season, but really only against us becuase we had linebackers that were so slow! Now we have very fast linebackers, so its not going to be effective at all!

[G. Host]

I would rather have a non-division opponent since those games are more difficult to sell out.
