    Beating the Pats Blueprint

    I wrote a guest piece for our partner Patriots site on how the Bills beat New England. I set out thinking that this team would be lucky to get another split v. the pats but when I dug in a little more, I actually discovered that the Pats may be our best matchup to get wins.

    As we enter the 2012 season the New England Patriots still sit atop the AFC East, the Pats have observed unprecedented dominance winning the division nine times since 2000. Anytime you see individual teams dominate like that it’s time for your opponents to innovate and change the way they are doing things and finally it appears as though the Bills have been able to do that.

      Boy... a great read with a lot of in-depth, but that's one of those journalistic jump-backs that can kick you in the long run. Kudos on the good article, and glad you finally found a good editor! Hope your analysis comes true.
      Bye Bye Brady...

        Eh, the article series is designed to point out Pats flaws and talk up our teams strengths. Its meant to be a bit of flame on Pats fans.

          Wow, predicting a sweep is bold!
          I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
          "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
          You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
          It was all           true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
          He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can           mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

            Brady has fine pocket presence. He looks first for a Welker to come across, then picks up the potential mismatches in coverage. That first look, the quickness of a receiver to get open, is tough to defend. Going all-out with a rush can get to him - and you could get stung - and he certainly is a (very talented) beneficiary of the NFL thrust to hype up the pass game and the points.

            Were I to plan against Brady, I'd chuck and hold the flanker Welker types onto the turf in that 5 yard zone. 5 yard auto 1st down - I'll suffer that penalty when it happens. I'll send in a LB or safety to interfere with whatever TE they line up as a SE.

            I want to force them into running the ball.

                  Bills do not have the perfect offense to capitalize against the Patriots, makes no sense. Patriots had 23 INTs, 2nd most in the NFL, although 6 were from Fitzpatrick. Our QB has 11 INTs in the last 4 games against New England, he is a turnover machine against a team good at getting turnovers. No chance in hell the Bills sweep the Patriots, Bills have only beat Brady twice ever, and he threw 4 INTs in both those games, Bills have little chance to beat New England in either game. New England will be a TD favorite in almost every game, at least, they have a chance to be 16-0.

                    Prediction

                    I see the Bills improving on their split from 2011 and sweeping the Patriots in 2012 – edging them out on the final weekend to take the division crown back to Buffalo.

                      You must be channeling the U.S. Treasury Department, the U.S. Mint, the Administration, and the Federal Reserve.

                        You're point has almost nothing to do with the Bills actual offense and instead transfixed on a singular player. A player that I acknowledge has INT issues and must overcome then in point three.

                        Not worried about his pocket presence one bit. I would never all-out blitz Brady, may be the worst decision a defense could ever make.

                          The whole offense typically revolves around 1 guy, the QB. The Bills only beat the Patriots because the other guy threw 4 INTs, not sure how you read that I was fixated on one player, I talked to other points, you and others are just fixated on only reading portions of what people type.

                            Where did you talk about any other player on the Bills?

                              Most every team worries about his PP skills. I didn't advocate an all-out blitz, but an occasional change of pace.

                              Whack their receivers, ends. Make them run.
