Last year I posted a thread about how the Bills could possibly win the East. After 5-1 it looked like the reasoning was sound as some of things that I said had to happen ie. Brady was hurt, Favre was struggling and Miami hadn't gathered too much steam came to fruition. But in the end what I assumed what would happen did and we ended at 7-9.
So here I go with some optimism. Please keep in mind because some of you said I contradicted myself last year that what I think will happen is alot different than what I'm saying might happen!!!!!!!!!!!!
How I think we could win the Monday night game:
1) Brady defiantely hurt his shoulder. He will not be 100%. The fact that it happened at the end of pre-season is in our favor because it's fresh in his mind. Obvioulsy it's a stretch but we are having fun here.
2) The New England D lost 4 starters from last year. The last time this team lost a big defensive leader we know how that turned out. Seymour is a loss for sure.
3) The change at OC might actually be a lift. The offense and entire team had to be a little down based on what was happening. Change sometimes is good just for what it is.
4) Edwards hasn't played that badly. The first pre-season game he looked pretty good with Owens out there. The next game he went 10 of 10. I think Edwards will play better than many of you are thinking.
5) Owens, Owens, Owens, Owens. I've watched the guy long enough to know he's going to show up and play on Monday Night. He has alot to prove.
6) Aaaron Maybin might be cocky enough to steal a sack in this game. I don't think he realizes how raw he is and that might be a good thing.
7) Van Pelt. If he's the football genius that everyone keeps talking about than he should shine immediately. Bellichek did so why can't he?
We are supposed to lose this game. We should lose this game. But New England is not playing with the stacked deck that we are used to seeing and we lost a very close game on the road two years ago with Losman and a much crappier team.
I'll be rooting for Buffalo on Monday and so should you.
