The book is out on the Bills, and it's not complicated because solving in season is tough. 1. You can out physical them. 2. You don't have to make them one-dimensional, they'll do it to themselves.

The Bills philosophy as dictated by McDermott is to stick with the game plan and not make adjustments. This is very contrary to Belichick for example who is know for always making adjustments. IMO this is a shortcoming and hurts us is some games.

Tin foil hat people! If only Tre White weren't so overrated we win today.

We're not big and physical enough, no more analysis needed.

They needed to convert that 4th and 5. Oh wait lets kill the momentum

Anyone still want the FG

Not getting back in this game kicking FGs- I'm sorry.

Playing for FG is stupid, we're not playing for a tie and that assumes the Colts don't score anymore.

Defense and Special Teams🤮

Offense can move the ball and score. Can the defense step up?

Say what you want about the interception. But, this is 100% on the defense and special teams.

I like 'em with a little meat on their bones, healthy and athletic.

I did 69 myself!

They actually remind me of BB teams in Cleveland pre-Brady. He had a pretty good team in '94 (Vinny Testaverde QB) that went 11-5, but lost to the Steelers 3x. Methodical, boring, shorten the game by running, physical D, don't make mistakes, have a good kicking game. It's actually his preferred style and many in the media seem to be pushing it as well (Charlie Weis). Belichick's win totals without Brady per season 6,7,7,11(the above mentioned),5,5,7(last year), 7 this year, on pace for 10 or 11. See a pattern? Every fourth year. I was just trying to remember if anyone has won the SB playing this style in recent years? You know Vince Lombardi, Bill Parcells style. Looking at the list of SB Winners it doesn't seem like it happens very much to me anymore.

Jeez what is going on with all the hype (for him and the Pats) its over the top

Very reasonable take! I might even say a lower scoring game like 21-17, 23-20 or something.

They'll lose. I don't for a minute, and no one should think that the Jax game is the Bills typical performance. I would expect them to be ready to play on Monday night!

All right, so it's settled now! Pats are Super Bowl favorites the media, the Pats trolls and the psuedo-Bills fans have been telling us they are. We are merely underdogs who can only hope to compete with them. Seriously though McD/Frazier, crowd the line of scrimmage and pressure the statue they have at QB and slow the run down. He looks way too comfortable with his little checkdowns and short passes. Make him complete alot of 3rd and 8s.

I was just thinking the same thing, everywhere I go the hype for Patriots is so over the top. I've never seen this much hype for any team. I go to NFL Network and its Pats are SB bound, ESPN same thing, NFL radio same and on and on every show.

Interesting topic! I think your tier 1 picks are likely on the money. After that, who knows? Bass and Diggs both seem like they're on the right trajectory. Good post

This is such a ***** thread! Every troll, loser Pats fan, and psuedo-Bills fan (I'm really a Bills fan) is on here twisting *****, saying preposterous things and trying to stir ***** up.

Especially since he's a Pats fan

Go back to Pats forum

You mean the coach with a losing 63-75 record without Brady. And, the one who lost twice to the Bills last year. Yes there are a few fans who lack a strong constitution and have no confidence, and yes its the NFL and anything can happen. But, to be honest, I worry more about Ernie Adams and the Officials than anything. My money is on the Bills to win the division.

Haven't read the whole thread, but many of the Pats fans and psuedo-Bills fans are pointing out the running games. The ferocious Pats running game is 15th at 114.5 ypg and 4.1 ypc BTW, this other team that has no running game is 10th at 122 ypg and 4.6 ypc. Any guesses who that might be? Oh and that team has the number 1 Defense in the NFL And, we haven't even gotten to the QBS, Mac Jones is likely to have his comeuppance before long - all rookies do. I think the Pats fans and psuedo-Bills fans should be extremely worried about playing us twice!
