HUGE! Like I said a long shot for an upset. I’ll still yell and scream for one Saturday night, I doubt it happens though. lol the best rookie class in years for BB lol..

I agree!! That is part of what I meant by waking up… took to many dumb penalties the last month or so.. (got away with a few stupid ones earlier too) I am going to cheer for my team and hope for the best. But I am not very hopeful, we have 1 very good corner, an average corner (if available) and well Bryant is a liability. I just don’t see coverage holding up with your weapons.. only hope is to get quick pressure and try force Allen into mistakes. (Not turnovers but like gunning it to hard and the guy drops it type mistakes) if Allen is on there is little to zero percent chance of a pats upset. Doesn’t help my feel for the game hearing that , SUPPOSEDLY Mac Jones ,per the talking heads, up here he is dealing with a hand, shoulder, and knee issue for the last month… no idea if true or not but what they have said on sports talk up here. If it is true it wouldn’t shock me with some of the nasty hits he has taken this year. (But makes a win even LESS likely)

I expect a lot more blitzes and looks that appear to be blitzes this game. They need Judon to wake up from his one month slumber and Uche to have an effect as well but sadly without Barmore it may be difficult maintain their lanes. (I doubt he plays this Saturday). I also expect more man on man with Diggs getting extra love..

IF that happens expect the refs throw a ton of flags in your game against the Bills because they want Big Ben go out on top… because that’s the only way they beat KC.

Question… Does Allen put touch on his passes a lot? What I mean is instead of firing it in like a canon (like say Newton use to or Carr) can he take something off it to make it easier to catch in very cold weather? Just asking because I don’t see to many Bills games and the ones I have seen he zips them in (seen like 4 games 2 were terrible weather.) trying find any place for an advantage lol..

All I have to say for Brady is one thing “. WOOOO!!”

BB says back “Junior! I have socks older than you!” Lol

Ok first unlike Gase, they completely dismantled the team his first year he had ZERO talent on that team. Yet he still won 5 games. Next year the drafted pretty well and they went 10-6 miss the playoffs by a game. This year go 9-8 and after going 1-7 make a huge turn around and go 8-1 the rest of the way… he has shown he is a good HC when you look at it with all the facts in place. Gase just sucked and destroyed a potentially good QB.

And those are so rare now in the NFL!

If Chicago fires Nagy he be real good there. D already solid, a good young QB potential (that he isn’t tied to so if he sucks you can boot him out) and a top WR IN Robinson.

Uche missed most of the year with injury. (He had a few pressures the last couple weeks) Judon got sat for a lot of the game yesterday after getting a stupid roughing the passer penalty that extended a Miami drive. No idea what happened to Judon wouldn’t be shocked if he is somewhat nicked up.

I think he deserves a HC Job. Outside of year 1 with the dolphins, where they sent anyone any good away in trades, he has had a winning record, heck I say winning his last 5 games in his first year with those scrubs shows he is a good HC. Just so dumb!

Dumbest thing ever. Hmm could the Pats hire him now be our D coordinator? We need one bad.. lol seriously though could a playoff team add Flores to their coaching staff?

Dugger has a hand issue he should play. Baremore I am more worried about he couldn’t put any pressure on that leg when he left the game. I think Baremore going to be a beast in this league… For everyone of those he has 4 drops that hit him in the numbers.. (exaggerating) he just been highly inconsistent this year.

Since 2000 9 SB appearances and only missed the playoffs 3 times for BB. That’s pretty amazing. Actually I think he was the one on Tua side and didn’t want Watson. I think Tua is gone along with 5 1st rounders for Watson who will then be suspended indefinitely by the league lol.. almost a jets like move..

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!

Except Flores OVER Achieved in Miami. Won 5 games his first year with a JV team, then wins 10 and 9 games when they get some talent… hmm can the Pats hire him as our D coordinator for the playoffs!? Lmao

overall I say the FA on O and D were good. Bourne is a solid 2 WR, Henry is a beast in the red zone and Macs security blanket, Brown when healthy is a top RT. (Add in Meyers and it’s a fun group missing that one dynamic player make the difference. IMO) Judon was worth every penny on D, and Baremore I think will be special that was drafted. They benched Smith for awhile because he was destroying Jones confidence with BAD drops. He had a couple that went threw his hands for picks, the worst one is when he literally bopped it up in the air and looked like he handed it to the CB. they been playing him more lately but his hands are still like stone, and add in Harry who can’t get open or run the right route (I have never seen a vet get chewed out by a rookie before.. but Mac chewed out Harry yesterday.)

Isn’t that true for most rookie QBs? Not the arm strength but needing be carried by their team? That’s why I am harder on the veteran D than the O which has 2 New TE, 2 New WR, 2 Rookies starting on it. My expectations were low for the O and expecting the D steal games. I disagree, as Brady said snow makes it harder on corners who are more likely to slip because they don’t know where they are going. (Wind makes the difference in snows whipping snow makes it miserable for everyone)

That has yet to be proven wrong. I will give Mac credit for not crumbling though. Every game, even when he struggled, he brought them back in the fourth. (Indy, Miami yesterday for example) what hasn’t happened this year is the D can’t get that one more stop to give him the chance to win the game in the last 2 minutes.. I am harder on the D because they are SUPPOSE to be the strength of the team and they should be able come up with a stop when momentum is on your side, like it was in Indy.

Oh in that role he would be devastating in Buffalo. Right now he is doing IMO amazing considering he usually gets CB 1 of every team. I wasn’t knocking him! Just saying he isn’t be used in the right role in NE right now. IMO also makes it harder to get an accurate fee on Jones. (For example he threw an out pass and no one was there.. they showed the replay and 2 WR ran the exact same route. Ugh.. Made me wonder how many times does this happen and we don’t see it?

I will play devils advocate for the players. It is a team sport and takes more than 1-2 players make a playoff team. Herbert - deserves be there. Bosa — of course deserves be there Howard — had an meh year but still atop CB. Deserves be there. fact is sometimes good players are on bad to mediocre teams. I mean during the drought does that mean no Bills players should have gone?

Possibly. I doubt it but I am sure if Harris and Stevenson are getting 4-6 yards a carry you won’t see many passes.

He also doesn’t have a true #1 WR. I mean Meyers would be what? A third option in Buffalo? (I love Meyers but he isn’t a true top WR)

Ok from the enemy side trying be rational: Bills: Allen — just needs be the Allen of this year and last year. As long as he doesn’t struggle with accuracy (which he has a few times this year) the Bills should roll on the Pats D RUN — If he does struggle, just run the football. The Pats literally just gave up almost 200 yards to the 31st rank rushing O. Pats Defense — has to step up big time! No more being gashed on obvious run downs and definitely need play better in the secondary. (I expect Bryant to be picked on again all day) Offense — Run Harris and Stevenson a lot but also do PA Passes on 1st or 2nd and short. They can’t be predictable. all and all the Bills should win and it would take a clunker performance by them for the Pats to steal a victory. This is exactly the record I expected for my Pats and I wish they were facing Ann inexperienced Cincy team that could get caught flat footed.
