Early look at the Patriots…

[sukie]

Got to be honest… they are battling for the top pick. Bill has missed time passing him by. Mac Jones might be a serviceable back up

Bills -8.5 some like to point to the past for clues to possible outcomes… Josh owns Foxboro.

other than that, I am struggling to name players… Mac, Stephenson, Judson, shu shu juster, and an overworked Punter.

[Woodman]

Let's see if we can send them on their way toward their goal of a 1st pick .... hopefully they get a few wins later to **** that all up.

So we’ll make the Bills punt? That’s a start…

It's a division game...anything can happen.

What should happen is they dominate to a point the starters can take the fourth quarter off and rest up a little for the ensuing Thursday night game against Tampa.

[jamze132]

Division games on the road are tough to win, regardless of how each has played thus far. Never count out Belichick.

Let's beat the **** out of them.

[Bill Cody]

Mac Jones is a puddle. BB has ruined him. He's done. If I were them I'd go into the game with the wind game gameplan. Just don't let him throw it more than 10 times. Go for it on 4th every time no matter what, kind of like the old Army or Georgia Tech offense: "we can get 10 yards on runs in 4 tries and that's that" style of offense. Try to hold the ball for 40 minutes and not turn it over and get the Bills to turn it over a couple times.

That's their only hope and it's a slim one. Their o-line blows chunks.

yeah chunks :snicker:

[notacon]

I’m a little worried about this game. Belichick is backed into a corner that he has never been even close to in NE.

The team has gotten **** on by literally everyone in sport media.

The players and coaches on that team get paid too. They have pride too.

Not that I expect the Bills to lose this game. The Bills are pissed off too....pissed off at themselves. The Bills have pride too. The Bills have something to prove too.

Division games are always tough. This could easily be a very close game in the first half.

But, in the end, the Bills prevail. I would love to see them kick the everlasting crap out of the Pats. **** THEM!!!!

But, I don’t care if they win by one point. The WIN is all that matters. No style points in the NFL.

[Woodman]

1-0 is the goal.

Staying healthy is right up there as well.

Always !! :gobills:

[Historian]

Perfect game for the Bills to play down to the level of the competition.

Buffalo 21-19

[Forward_Lateral]

Don’t over look them. Play like they are Miami.

[sukie]

Play like they are the patriots and it’s a playoff game.

We just did that lets try something new.

[YardRat]

We got Bud Carson fired from Cleveland mid-season 1990 after blowing out the Browns 42-0. They hired Belicheck to replace Carson that off-season. Maybe we can come full circle and do the same for Bill and the Patriots.

[OpIv37]

I just spent two decades watching the Pats destroy us with a Michigan QB. With my luck, the Pats will get the #1 pick, draft Caleb Williams, and spend the next two decades kicking our ass with a USC QB.

Kraft is open to the idea I'm sure.

Now that's some funny **** right there. :clap:

Patriots can’t block our D line, this is where Mac goes out for health reasons.

Gotta pour it on baby!!

This should be a 38-3 kinda game, but it will likely be a 23-21 game with more injuries since this team is made of glass

[notacon]

Play like they are the patriots and it’s a playoff game.

The Bills have owned both teams the past several years. Since 2020...

Bills v Pats - 6-1 - 1-0 in playoffs

Bills v Fins - 7-1 - 1-0 in playoffs.

Sour puss quitter. I see you are setting up to **** over the Bills almost no matter what happens. :rolleyes:

I choose to focus only on the “1’s” in your post. In those “1’s”, the Bills sucked so they have no chance of winning a championship ever. The other 13 games don’t count cuz obviously the Fins and Pats collective heads were not in it.

(the above is what you might find if you tune into the “outplayed” thread.


Outplayed… the pain of IBS but only sharper.

Always searching for the positives ..... reminds me of somebody else just can't remember the name.

[Mace]

To me this is a redo of the Giants except it's divisional. They should roll....or they could pork around again.

Pats have a 3-4 base D the Bills have had trouble with this year, uncertain QB situation, exploitable defensive middle, a CB issue, a good running back (if struggling), and limited offensive weapons wobbling.......

We'll see what they learned from playing the Giants.

Aside an act of god… Josh and company have owned better patriot defenses.

34-16 Bills kinda feel to me.
