The Pats are coming!

[Mace]

So sweeping them last year doesn't count? As of right now we are the defending AFCE champions. The guard has already been changed

Unfortunately might change again.

In retrospect, we kind of seem to have remained largely status quo, Pats never do. They're a more dynamic philosophy.

I remember saying last year, give Belichick another draft and they won't be flopping around like they were.

Pats are one of those not spectacular, but simply businesslike teams our coaching staff seems to have issues with.

My heart says the next 4 games are 4-0, my head says 1-3.

Will agree with notacon though, and he said it, if they don't win Monday night the Bills don't deserve the division and aren't a contender.

The way to beat the Pats is make the QB beat you long with his arm. That's your best chance. Pressure him with assorted blitzes and take away the underneath. Let's see if he can win a game throwing long under pressure. I don't think he's there yet.

We're not real good with assorted blitzes and taking away the underneath though.

On paper it sure looks like they are going to obliterate us. Of course, we do have Josh Allen. It is scary how it looks before the game though. Don't fall asleep on the Patriots trying to beat the Chiefs. Damn.

He makes a lot of mistakes pressure or no pressure. He's good at finding the chunk plays too and plays smart protective football. Pats are playing sound hard-fought football for the squad they have but they are winning due to the turnover differential. If the turnovers in our game are uneven the team on + side will be the winner of the game.

Well if McD and Frazier can't outfox a rookie QB, we don't deserve the division. Personally, and I never say this, I think we're going to destroy them nationally.

Pats are on a 6 game winning streak with balanced, solid play from all 3 units. Poise. During that time, the Bills have played like a .500 team with breakdowns in all units at times. Penalties over poise. I'm a bit skeptical.

[Woodman]

I'll take the fired up Bills squad.

Well yes, there's that.

They almost beat us with Cam last season, I don't have a good feeling.

True ... he was playing pretty well at the time ..... Cam was like having a 3rd RB in the backfield .... Jones isn't that and he's a rookie .... so he's gonna see some different defensive looks ..... Cam is a totally different type player.

Big deal.

Belichick is feeling pretty good. Mentioning the Bills in his victory speech.

Good. If we can't beat these ****s we don't deserve anything.

It's the name of the game win or just sit down.

Drew Bledsoe makes an appearance.

I thought that was strange ..... just a little bit.

They did dump him right

That is my concern. I'm worried that last year was a fluke down year for them. Brady was their QB for 18 years and won them 6 SB's. It's not easy to just move on from that, and as we know all too well, starting QB's are hard to find.

Who knows? Maybe Jones plateaus and what they're doing right now is the best they do with him. But if he continues to improve, this div is going to be a dogfight every year for the foreseeable future.
