LOL it appears the draft was the best part of the off-season for the Pats as both 1st round pick have looked AWESOME! also Wilson (our 2nd round pick) has looked very good as well at Safety. Oh a Lloyd looks pretty good as well.. So with Welker,Lloyd,Hernandez,Gronk our Passing should be fine add in Demps occasionally and Ridley running the O looks good..... as long as the O line blocks

Dont read to heavy into the preseason the Pats have NOT had all 5 starters out there at one time yet.. But will by week 1.. although that is a weak spot right now.

My god, lets break down your schedule: Jets -- tough games BUT you should be able to split with them but I will mark as 2 TOUGH GAMES Phins -- HE HE should be 2 easy wins this team couldnt beat USC. Pats -- I am a Pats fan and since they are reighning AFCE Champs 2 TOUGH GAMES Texans -- Best team last yr bar none in the AFC Tough Game 49ers -- Great D shaky O Tough Game Browns -- EASY Game Chiefs -- Avg team should be a a W Cardinals - No QB decent D should be a W Titans -- Avg team but should be a W Colts -- Full rebuld mode should be easy W Jags -- should be easy W Rams -- awful team should be a W SeaHawks -- Awful team should be a W At WORSE this team should be 10-6. And I am a Pats fan! And who made your schedule facing Pats then Texans one part and 49ers and Pats another time.. talk about brutal!

I think the Bills be fine, IMO your O was never AMAZING , lighting up the Pats D early last yr was NOT a very difficult thing to do 9they were lit up more than an XMAS tree early last year!!), that and your D made your O look better with those 4 picks of Brady they dont make those picks the game is VASTLY different. (That game was awful watch looked like neither teams D wanted stop the other teams O.) I still see a WC birth for the Bills and probably a 10-6 or 11-5 record IF they stay healthy!!

I think the Bills could sweep the Jets just because they are so messed up right now on O your D could win with turnovers. I could also see you guys beating th 49ERS but that be a really close nailbiter either way both D minded teams. The Texans, I have penciled in as SB bound if they dont get injured again, I mean they almost beat the Ravens with a 3rd string QB imagine how they been w Shaub. As for the Pats I will remain silent I am biased and know this lol.

Hey an OUTSIDERS perspective here. I see 6 tough games for the Bills this year: 1. Pats v Bills -- Division game pitting what should be a great D against a perenial O powerhouse. 2. Bills v Jets -- Both should be great on D, but I give the O edge to Buffalo as long as Fitz is healthy. 3. Bills v SF --- Another D battle but I think SF D MAY be a little better.. O I call even. 4. Bills v Texans -- IMO the toughest game as the Texans have (based on last yr) the best overall team in the AFC. Thats SIX tough games, hardly an easy schedule. Lets say WORSE case you go 0-6 (I dont see that I see you beating at least the Jets) the Bills should still be 10-6 a HUGE improvement. Good enough for the playoffs I do not know.

I know they been succesful for the last 11 years, but they are hardly perfect. 1. The D has not been dominant since 2004, and was downright awful last year. 2. their drafts have either been a huge hit or huge miss. (we have 1 draft where we dont even have 1 player left from the draft.) I mean FEW if ANY teams have what has made the patriots long term successful, and that is a HOF Coach (BB) who is able to take the garbage that BB the GM gives him and make it work amazingly well and a HOF QB in Tom Brady. So instead of measuring yourself against the Pats (only 1 team) see how you measyure against the other 12 teams you play because even if you beat the Pats twice if you match up POORLY with 8 of the other teams you are guaranteed only a .500 season.

I say the Bills are an easy OVER I see the bills as the #2 team with 10 wins... as for his comments about the Pats I would point out to him the last TWO years they have finished with 13 and 14 wins each... and this yr the Pats D (ON PAPER) actually looks like it is a lot better. (heck couldnt be much worse it was ranked 31st last yr lol)

The Bills are VASTLY Improved, and in any other AFC Conference they probably be favored to win the division after their off-season and probably be talked about as a SB contender. But you are in the AFC East home of the last standing juggernaut of the AFC. (The 3 juggurnauts of the AFC the last decade been Pats,Steelers,Colts)

lmao you guys are funny. But I agree the outfit by welker is scary ugly lol..

I dont know if Tannehill will be a bust but who the heck is he going to throw to down there?

How does the AFC look.. Here is My Opinion: 1. Pats -- Defending AFC Chanmpions, and have addressed their WR problem with addition of Lloyd and 9 other WR (LOL figure 1 of them will emerge my guess is Gaffney be the #2 WR w Welker back in the Slot) they also addressed the Defensive front 4 in the draft w all but 1 pick being D and 2 1st rounders projected be D starters. Weakness? The 2ndary is still suspect while they did add a new safety will McCourty rebound from his 2nd year slump? only time will tell. Prediction: 14-2/13-3 (weak schedule) 2. Bills -- have made some aggressive moves in FA w Williams and Anderson signings, defense should be vastly improved over last year and one of the teams leading in sacks by years end. With the offense healthy they should be able put up points again. weakness? very little depth so injuries to key players could effec t them greatly. I also do not see anyone to compliment CJ as a WR. Prediction: 12-4/11-5 3. Phins -- Have a very good D, but their O will scare NO ONE. Prediction: 5-11/4-12 4. J--E--T--S -- D is old and they are still imploding from within, their draft will be extreme busts or reward.. I am expecting bust, Rex Ryan gets fired as he loses even more control of the locker room. 3-13/2-14

That really depends WHERE the pressure comes from. If you get it right up the middle it bothers Brady 9As it does any NON Mobile QB.) But if it is on the edges he LIKE Manning can buy time stepping up etc.

Indy will either cut Manning or keep him.. I do Not see them being able to trade him BEFORE that bonus Money is do.

IMO Manning wouldn't sign with the Jets he is so OPPOSITE to the way they act, I dont think he feel comfortable there. (Just My Opinion.) I mean think about it the JETS are loud mouth and obnoxious, where Manning is laid back and I don't think he ever said a bad thing about any team or player. That said I can see him going to SF.. Imagine that team with a Great QB with that DEFENSE shudder.... AKA I think he wants another ring.

LOL OWNERSHIP (Irsay) has come out and said they are keeping Manning awhile ago. Polian is the one said they draft Luck if they had the 1st round pick and made no comment on Mannings future there. Mind you If I was Irsay I have fired Polian too, just for his terrible drafting, lose 1 player go from SB Contender to #1 pick is unacceptable!! (Pats lost Brady and still went 11-5 showed they had a better TEAM..) And the NFL does not want Manning v Brady twice a year its the #1 rated football game outside of the playoffs, they dont wanna ruin that!

It could happen, BUT I wouldnt count on Brady throwing FOUR Picks again to hand the game to the Bills like in week 3. If Brady Plays: Pats 41 Bills 21 It is Possible but I doubt Brady throws 4 Picks Again. But my prediction: WITH Brady: Pats 41 Bills 17 WITHOUT Brady: Pats 21 Bills 20

Couple factors take into account as well: 1. Does Brady have a chance of Breaking Marino yardage record of 5058 yards. AND will he be the record holder (see Brees lol) 2. The Pats D need ALL the work it can get and could try use the Bills game as a confidence booster for the young players.

Hey just a question, Why do you dislike Kraft? He is a great Owner and was key in us all having a season this year.. My Hated teams: 1. JETS -- loudmouth abnozious fans and coach and always talk smack even after your team punches them in the mouth. 2. Eagles -- I hate any self appointed DREAM team in PRO sports. 3. Chargers -- Always say how great they are, always bragging.. always end up stinking the joint up when it matters. Thats it, I respect the bills and remember the days you made my life miserable twice a year with Kelly and co. I been a Pats fan since I was 16 and we got crushed by the Bears in the SB... I TRY never be obnoxious like some of my BANDWAGON counterparts (I dont remember them in the 3/4 empty stadium when we went 1-15 to get Bledsoe lol)

lol see this happening: JACKSON SIGNS WITH PATRIOTS AND SUDDENLY IS A SUPERSTAR WR..... **insert sound of a lot of bills fans cursing here** Fact is the bills have no one else really who scares a team in the passing game. NO ONE.

IMO the DOMINANT AFC teams (in no particular order): Steelers: Tough D and O and outside of Baltimore very good. BUT lets not overlook they BARELY beat bad teams (needed a late FG to beat the Colts who are aweful) Texans: Played very well, but losing Shaub as well as their best D player be to much for them to survive? Baltimore: I cant figure them out they dominate Pitt then lose to Jags and Seatle? HUH? Pats: Best QB/HC tandem in the NFL, and a very dangerous offense. A very scary (as in bad) D as far as yards go but tough in the red zone. One thing (as a pats fan) I noticed even when they have played AWFUL football this year (pitt and Giants) they still had a chance win the game. (which is amazing. Middle pack: Bills: Great YOUNG Offense,but seem have a simular prbl on D as the Pats but perhaps not as strong in red zone D. (I let you bill fans agree or correct me). May not be this year but soon will be a contender and challenging the Pats for the division. Raiders; Scary run game, and a decent D. But no one is afraid of their passing game even with Palmer. Jets: Great Coach, very Good D, ok running backs. But IMO the worst QB in football. (starting not a backup forced to start.) Chargers: Have amazing tslent on O and D, but worse HC in the NFL. Ok thats my opinion : SLAM AWAY l;ol

LOL I t is NO big secret the BB HATES the Jets more than ANY other team in football. With the Jets it is Personal to him. I didn't see him say that but I laugh my butt off if I had as that is unlike BB in so many ways. (can just picture him doing a croch chop lol)

ok read the report on NFL.com it is NOT a done deal and being reported for a 1st round draft pick. Now 9 out of 10 times the report isnt completly correct bet it is a conditional pick as HIGH as a 1st round pick and as low as a 3rd. Based on different criteria.

Palmer last year had Ocho _I lost a step- Cinco, and T-OMG-0 who were both more interested at that time in their reality show than football. (matter fact he did better with the rookies than those two.) That said it smells as WIN ONE IN MEMORY OF AL AT ALL COST type moves.

2nd guessing??? find one post where I thought Gailey made the wrong call? All I said ever was there is a BIG difference in play calling when your playing a future HOF like Brady and a lesser QB like Eli Manning. As for the Cowboys, maybe 2nd down they should thrown it 9Vader had a point) but 3rd and 18 your asking for a mistake so was the right call.. So find someone else who was calling the plays wrong, but better luck next time
