I hope Josh has worked on this in practice. I can recall a few times where Josh needed to allow the DE to come up field more and his RB to get slightly more up field. This play can be a killer against the Pats. I also can see the Bills going hurry up and trying to get the Pats in mismatches. The Pats LB’s are very assignment specific.

You are retired and start a sentence ‘Dude’? That’s great! Good for you!

It’s amazing when you get to read a real journalists article verses the dribble you see so often presented as journalism online. Nice article and I’ll take it, even if it was written with a tongue in cheek slant.

Agenda pushers who have probably watched nothing but highlights and maybe the Sunday night game because they had too.

Glad to see Jones might miss the game. I’m more worried about Injuries than I am beating the Pats. There are a few players on their team who I think are down right dirty. I would not put it past the cheaters to try and injury a Bills player for the playoffs.

Maybe the guy who twitted the video saw something. I’m with you, that looks like a vet taking it easy at practice. Great interview from Tre’.

Beane and McDermott are working together to build the team. They share a vision and have worked well together. I trust them to make the right calls on players. We haven’t had a combo like this leading our team in 30 years. Kudos to ownership on pouring money into the organization every place they are allowed too. Future looks bright.

I am kind of tired of playing the Pats in Primetime. that’s more about the Pats than the Bills. the Bills ratings for Primetime games are showing that Bills fans are driving viewership not Pats fans. How many Primetime games did the Bills have last year after their playoff appearance? 1 the Monday night game at home against the Pats. Hopefully the Bills will have a couple big wins in the playoffs and we can get some Primetime rematches against those teams.

It won’t happen . Arthur Blank has said Julio is retiring a Falcon.

Brady is going to retire regardless of Saturday’s outcome. Brady is playing scared and it appears he wants to just make it through this year. The throw always and ‘chuck and bails’ have increased and at times been embarrassing to watch. If the Bills win and make Brady look as bad as he did in the first meeting, it will just confirm what a lot of us know, Brady is done. I don’t see the Pats able to out score KC, Baltimore, or even Houston in the playoffs. NE defense isn’t really that good either.

I want him back for sure, hope Beane can make the numbers work.

Great find. Looks like the top 10 teams in this area there are 4 division leaders, 3 more definite playoff teams, and one more team fighting for a playoff birth. It appears the league is slowly moving back towards a more balance attack. Whatever the reasons people want to say that occurring, is fine. Running to pass or passing to run will always be the way to win games. Offenses need to keep defenses guessing.

I think you are right. At first and people with lesser knowledge of the Bills will think it says more about NE than Buffalo. Ne’s three losses to this point have been bad ones to three playoff teams in the AFC. This Saturday the Bills make it a fourth bad defeat. It will show NE is exactly who they are, an average team with an over the hill QB and a HC who can no longer scheme his way to victories with the lack of talent he has assembled.

Yep. You mean his body at 42 isn’t healing as fast as it did at 30? Shocking! The game isn’t meant to be played by guys in their 40’s.

I think Phillips walks and Shaq stays. Murphy is also cut. Star isn’t going anywhere yet because of his contract structure. Maybe after next year he will be cut. I think the Bills will look at either resigning Corey or finding another player to replace Phillips to go with Oliver, Harrison, and Star.

Nah, I think Hughes is back and Murphy goes and Lawson is given a deal to stay.

The ones that scare me are the fumbles that happen in the pocket when Allen gets blindsided. Allen overall has been getting better, but in the Ravens game it seemed his pocket awareness went way down. If the Bills play the Steelers again I hope one of the lineman gives Watt a healthy punch to the gut or groin.

Not too bad OP. I like Yeldon over Gore. Use Yeldon as a third down back. Kroft is hitting his stride after missing a ton of the season. When healthy is he the best TE on the team this year. I disagreed about Ford, he wasn’t a top 10 pick, he needs time to adjust and he is getting better. Plus with Nsekhe’s ankle injury I doubt anyone is better at RT on the roster. When Nsekhe comes back he will need to rotate like he has with Ford.

I don’t see why not, but I also think the Dolphins have a ton of info on the Pats. The Miami HC was a coach on the Pats staff just last year.

I know some people here have wanted to run Kroft out of town, and I can understand why. I still believe Kroft is the most complete TE on this roster right now. Knox can be better eventually, but it will take time. A healthy Kroft who is finally getting enough practice time with Allen is showing what he can do. Let’s hope Kroft STAYS healthy for this playoff run. He could help provide another much needed playmaker for Josh and this offense.

That is a great stat. For me a combination of a few things. Their opponents level of offensive production. As the year has gone on the Pats offense has been less productive. The Bills D was the first to show Brady isn’t the same. Unlike previous years Brady hasn’t had a bounce back game and put up a dominant game winning performance. He can’t. Teams don’t have to respect the Pats offense so they can attack the Pats defense. The Pats defense isn’t elite as was reported early on. Personally, outside of Gilmore none of their defenders have elite talent. Which is fine if the unit plays as one, and doesn’t face a team with game changing talent. lamar, Mahomes, and Watson all had great games against NE and made the D look average, at best. The longer the season has gone on teams are finding weaknesses in the Pats D. Belichick is a master at scheming a D to take away the one thing you do best. I have to think he is going to try and take Singletary away and Josh’s runs. I’d love to watch Josh look like Brady in his prime. Josh hitting Beasley, Knox, and Brown on short routes. Then hit one up top Foster. The Bills can beat the Pats and should beat them. Win the turnover battle, play good special teams and don’t give the Pats offense a short field.

Peter King loves Belichick. The two of them are historians of the game. I think Peter worked a lot harder earlier on in his career but lately his tales seem mediocre. I don’t dislike King but also don’t see him as someone who can provide me with any insight on the Bills. He does help promote and call attention to things we all already know about the Bills to a wider range of football fans. We can see his analysis of facts as jabs or just being ‘it is what it is’. I think most of us here feel that the Beane and McDermott area are going to force the NFL to pay attention to Buffalo once again. I ultimately feel like the ultimate respect will come once we win our Super Bowl. Something I see happening in the near future.

I don’t think any win is going to be easy in the playoffs. im also a little concerned about our secondary play outside of Tre’. Houston has 3-4 wide receivers who are very talented, with Hopkins being elite. They don’t have a scary running back but Watson can make plays with his legs if he needs to. their defense is not great but let’s be honest the Bills offense isn’t a touchdown machine consistently. I think the Bills can win but I’m by no means thinking it’s a cake walk.

I believe he was checking with security to make sure he hadn’t spotted Belichick on the Pittsburgh sideline in drag.

Don’t stop Believin’ by Journey? Everyone knows the words and feel like the chorus could come in handy if behind in any games.
