I think we match up quite well with NE. Our strengths on O are running the ball and throwing to TEs and RBs. That’s where the Pats* are weak. Barmore is their only good DT and he hasn’t been exactly dominating this year. We can exploit their LBs and safeties while throwing the occasional WR pass against their great CBs. Our weakness is WRs and that’s their strength so it’s not like they are negating our strength on O. On defense, we have been much better against the run since Shaq came in. I think we rush 3 with a Mirror spy like we did against Mayfield and Mahomes now that we know Drake won’t hesitate to leave the pocket. Smart blitzing is going to be imperative to get any pressure unless Bosa is back, and even then he’s not 100% If we don’t turn the ball over more than once, it’s a W. I can definitely see the Pats* falling back to the pack and losing a couple games. I don’t think the division is out of reach yet. It’s not likely, but I can see it happening. Winning 10 games in a row is a tremendous accomplishment but they’ve been playing above themselves because they have great coaching. At some point that’s going to bite them, idk if it will be enough to snag the division. Probably not. Except for PatsFanNH, you bandwagon Pats* fan fks should GTFO. You’ve been silent for 5 years, just like the entire bandwagon fan base in NE. I live in NE, there hasn’t been a PEEP about the Pats* for years. Now all of a sudden you are all crawling out of the woodwork like you’ve stuck with your team. Hilarious. You were literally the Harford Pats* before Brady came, that’s how little fan support your team has when they aren’t winning. Jokes.

Surprisingly I haven’t heard his name come up even though he coached at CMU I believe. I have heard Jedd Fisch

Maybe a Brady Singer type at most.

I’d actually send every kick through the end zone and take the 35. Our coverage has been awful and teams usually make the 30 or greater. It would at least remove the potential for greater damage.

After four hours call a doctor.

That's not funny.

I thought he was real, and I respect that. I mean, we look at him as a wealthy guy playing a kids game. But the question was around if he's having fun. He's missed multiple years with injury. Probably spent hundreds of hours in rehab. This is his job, it isn't always fun I'm sure. That's fine. Ideally not the take you want your QB to have, but honest which you don't always get.

My oldest son is a Michigan fan. I ended up following the team just to talk about the team with him. This is absolutely a good thing for them. His net worth is 28.6 million, likely to lose half of that if his wife divorces him, his buyout was 13.89, Michigan will certainly go after that. Thats a 28 million dollar affair...hope it was worth it. As an aside Joe Brady is being mentioned as a possible replacement along with Jesse Minter.

You know who didn't even make law review (and thus was spared working 20 plus hours a week on it in addition to classes) and "only" graduated ***** laude from HLS (just like KBJ)? Neil Gorsuch. Funny that no one ever questions his credentials, isn't it? Why might that be?

How about the media? God, I really want the Bills to win on Sunday!

Yeah that's very true. They have a good return game.

I never bet on my team.. it’s nail biting enough without money involved.. but Agreed I think the game could go either way..

The Maye hype is absolutely ridiculous. Pats fans should be excited about him. He has shown a lot so far. Also so far, I don't believe he has led a singe 4th quarter comeback. We have no idea what kind of playoff performer he'll be. His success so far has been mainly against bad teams, and mainly w/ the long ball - one of the least sustainable models for great QB play. I've seen MANY Pats fans say at this point that he has already surpassed Josh Allen. That's a level of delusion that I can't really comprehend.

Didn't Davis do that a couple years ago? So likely Dawkins wouldn't have heard the call if they were on the road, which makes more sense when it happened against, I think it was, the Texans where Dawkins took the outside guy.

Yes. They will play them in the season finale. Anyone remember what happened in Brady's last year in the season finale against a really bad Fitzpatrick led Dolphins team?

Anyone catch a presale code for the Triumph tour? Atlanta will be the closest show.

Priceless!!!😂😂😂…..Idkhtf you came up with that or why, but damn! I’m jealous.🍻

🥱🫩😴 Some of us are old.

Hahahaha - these Pats fans are pathetic. Where have they been the past 5 years??? And now they’re putting together a cute season and start beating their chests on the Bills message board. Gimme a break. Exactly. Josh IS the system. I won’t hold my breath for Maye to break multiple NFL records…

24-21. Buffalo.

I wanted to take a step back from the week to week emotional roller coaster, because honestly, this season has felt ugly at times. We’ve been inconsistent, we’ve had roster holes, the injuries have piled up, and there have been stretches where we looked downright horrendous. But when you zoom out and look at the actual playoff field… it’s kind of stunning. The worst outcome for us is basically a 50/50 matchup, and probably not even against Mahomes. Could we lose to several of these teams? Sure. But the idea that we wouldn’t be right in every single one of these games is pretty silly. All of these matchups are close on paper or lean our way. I ordered them by how dangerous I think they are to us, and it made me feel way better about our prospects. Probably as good as I ever have felt. Houston If this matchup happens, it’s going to be tight. They’ve played Allen as well as anyone the last two years. 23–20 loss last year, 23–19 loss this year. Both games were basically a pass protection disaster for us and our offense slogged. It will be a race to 21. A true toss up. Field: Colts, Ravens, Chiefs, Bengals Colts seem cooked, but the other three would all be battles. Nothing new there. Ideally we avoid these teams as long as possible, but none of them are some unstoppable monster. All 50/50 type outcomes. Jacksonville A tick ahead of Buffalo in DVOA and playing really well. Coen has completely changed their trajectory. They’ve got legit wins: Chiefs, 49ers, Texans, Chargers. Matchup wise, their defense is built to take away the run. Offensively they’ll try to run a ton, even though the efficiency is mediocre. They’ve had our number a bit, but how much does that really matter now? I see this one similar to Houston, toss up, maybe slight edge to Buffalo. Denver Last year’s Denver team was actually rated better in DVOA than this year’s version. Last year’s playoff game was 13–7 halfway through the third quarter until the Ty Johnson 4th down play cracked it open. This year’s Denver? Not as good. It’ll be a game, but Buffalo should have the edge. Los Angeles DVOA basically has this team as a .500 group. Tons of OL injuries, very up and down, and outside of those early big wins vs KC and DEN, it’s been pretty uneven. They can’t stop the run well, and while they want to run a lot, they’re not efficient. This could be competitive for a bit, but Buffalo should have an edge. New England This NE team is the lowest DVOA 11–2 team since 1978. Run defense is slipping. They don’t run the ball particularly well. Maye flashes but he’s still a young QB. We all saw the first matchup, tons of things went wrong and it still came down to a FG. This is a Wild Card level team which isn't an insult to them. It's good progress. We should win in Foxborough and I expect we will. Pittsburgh We just match up too well here. We own Tomlin lately, and they had no schematic answers on either side of the ball. Complete mismatch in the ground game and QB play. This is the most comfortable matchup on the board.

Why?

I take it you're our resident temporary Pats fan? Maye has been super good this year. I will say that I was at the Patriots SNF football game in Buffalo and had awesome seats right on the 45 yard line 14 rows up. For me that game was a tale of 2 halves. I thought Maye looked pretty lost in the 1st half. Looking at the splits, he pretty much was as he was 8-15 for 82 yards, was sacked twice and scrambled 3 times for 12 yards. He turned it on in the 2nd half, but I also think our CBs were pretty terrible in that game covering Diggs especially. Our secondary right now is a totally different secondary than it was in week 5. We also replaced Bernard with Shaq Thompson and should (hopefully) have Milano for the full game unlike in week 5 when he got hurt and didn't play most of the game. I really do think the Bills are the better team and no matter how Maye has been playing this year, Allen is clearly still the better QB. Playing on the road against a team with an extra week of rest makes a little more of a coin flip, but on a neutral field with equal rest I think this Buffalo team wins against this New England team 8 times out of 10.
