Ok I am taking my shot at what I expect the game plans to be. I will probably be absolutely wrong but hey it's fun! Pats D: 8 men in the Box and a lot of 1 on 1 man coverage for our CB. I expect them to focus on limiting McCoy and forcing TT beat him with his arm. I also suspect on passing downs there will be one player shodowing McCoy to limit any yardage he gains by running. Bills O: your a running team so I expect a lot of McCoy and Play Action Passes. The Bills best chance at winning is keeping Brady as a spectator as long as possible. But if I was the Bills first play of the game play action pass and go deep to Clay or Watson if he is playing. Pats O: Business as usual a steady diet of Lewis and Burkhead running with Brady passing and changing the plays based off of what he sees from the D. Bills D: i expect them try try take advantage of the weaker LT if the pats start their 3rd stringer and Cannon is unable to go again. I think they can slow the Pats O down but I don't think they will stop them from scoring around 24 points at least. so what do you guys think?

They need a vomit emoji for this... because any football fan threw up in their mouths a little bit at that thought.

First the fans do not intimidate the refs, they never have. Second your formula is one set for disaster, the strength of the Pats D is their secondary now that they are finally all on the same page. The Pats right now suck at run stopping so why are you changing your team? You run the damn football till they stop you and limit Brady's touches because with the weapons he has he will score.

Hogan I doubt plays it seems that injury is still bothering him and best have him 100% (or as close to it) for the playoffs. Gully as you guys call him is in BB dog house for the last three weeks, so if you see him it's more of BB saying "one last shot before you get slivers in your butt". I think it's common knowledge you fumble you get sit with BB he does not like it. As for Gilmore of course your going to see him he is a starting (over paid) corner on the other side of Butler with Jones in the slot and 2 very very good safeties. I am not worried as much about your WR as I am your RB and running QB.

Jets D is very good and Oakland will both beat them with Denver having an outside chance. Again they just can't score I don't know what happened but they suddenly stink on O

Dude, they aren't scoring points! There are ZERO easy games left for them. I mean they scored 9 against the Giants and 10 against you guys.

I think the Chiefs are falling off a cliff. They lost to the GIANTS!!! So they will not make the playoffs. your race is with Baltimore, I agree on 2 certain losses then the Bills need them lose to either the Colts (Brissett isn't a bad QB just raw) or Cincy.

Physically he absolutely felt it. But mentally all it may have done is pissed him off.

I'm shocked I thought so many be licking losing to Cassell twice as the worst losses since well he kinda sucks. ?

From the little st the Chargers, and Jags and the Jags would shut the Bills out. Add in steelers,and Pats NOT the same Jags team. That D is scary scary good. It is the only D as a fan that truly scares m.

I didn't take it as him bashing Brady, just that he wasn't there and the past doesn't matter. He is absolutely right. I think full of BS because he KNOWS Who he is going against and probably grew up watching and either hating or loving him. (He was on Brady v Manning group somewhere)

Touché. My bad just got caught up in the "well wasn't for this or that" type stuff.

Very true, but like I was trying to say it would have tied the game, we honestly don't know what happens after that. Just like if Gilmore doesn't be an idiot and put his hands in the face of the receiver the Pats could have bet Carolina. (The pats had tied it and the panthers would been punting on their 3 yard line with 2 minutes to go.)

That TD would only have Tied the game and Brady would have gotten the ball back again. You doubt he wouldn't have scored if needed. Oh and the Bills got spanked by the Jets in NY, the Pats won.

Thinking purely in the football sense it depends who is there for QB when you pick. If your sitting at say 20, then I say pass on a QB and go for Oline or a WR. (Preferably one not made of glass) my reasoning is every expert saying there are only 2 or 3 QB worthy of being drafted in the 1st round so why reach for someone rather than make your team better and grab one in the second round. if they have say the 15th pick then depending on how in love you are with a QB prospect you try to trade up to get him

True but I may be wrong, (I don't remember) but I do believe both his championships were because of his D and who was the coordinator for The Tuna? BB (but he has a hell of a coaching tree doesn't he!!)

Don't worry about it your just not old like me who had live threw the Tony "the turtle" Eason or Rod Rust or pretty much most of the Pats history ore Kraft.

? I just think Brady is just a freak of Nature. He was ALWAYS the hardest worker, always did the most film study and ALWAYS working improve his game.

We can't help it. We are all brain washed by the emperor himself say nothing but praise to our opponents. ? seriously though Bills have never been arrogant or obnoxious like Dolphin fans (I mean you went undefeated almost 50 years ago let it go.) or Jet fans (who have never had anything brag about!) hell I remember after yet another Bills drubbing of the Pats the Bills fans being rather cool and saying "don't worry the good times will come back again" never once flaunted it in my face at least. So when my Pats finally stumble (and all teams finally do) I hope the Bills are the one to claim the mantle.

No worries! I understand the frustration you are talking about I lived threw the Jim Kelly years and the ugh Ron Rust as a HC year. It will get better and I'll be feeling your frustration the year after Brady retires. As Bills fans know it's almost impossible replace a legend.

Coincidence, even losing twice to the pats and splitting jets and dolphins you could easily go 10-6 and make the playoffs. IMO Bills always seem to lose that one game they have no business in losing.

I'd accept that. I don't see many Bills games up here. I remember the Carolina game I was so mad at Gilmore... so was BB he was benched start the next game till Rowe got hurt and then he got a concussion that kept him out 3 weeks. (The dark lord was not pleased either ?)

It wasn't meant that way, it was more of a"dang it now I'm going get the backlash for this crap" post. It was more of a don't be an ass and make the week miserable for us all.

The Bills got unlucky. Brady is one of only 3 QBs of that time frame capable of doing that, and you get to face him twice a year. I mean only Manning or Brees could do the same and Manning not so much near the end of his career.. so probably just Brady and Brees

Should I apologize now for Ricko1117 (or whatever number he has) and put a disclaimer that not all is Pats fans have forgotten the "patsies" days and sitting in a cold ass stadium watching a crappy team.
