You guys do realize that Rex hasn't been "rolled" by the Patriots in over 5 years? Every game he's coached since he became HC with the Jets has been close. This is going to be a nail biter. That's why the spread is so low. If Rex knows anything it's how to beat Brady. His team just has to show up.
-
Good luck to all and hope it's not a reverse trap!
Thanks. What is a reverse trap and how would that work in this instance?
Rex is a blowhard. Anything else?
He plays the Patriots better than any other HC in the NFL (not counting 2007 and 2012 Coughlin). He lives for these games and his schemes usually do well against Brady. He's very good at drawing up exotic blitzes up the middle to prevent Brady from stepping up. If he puts the team in the position to win tomorrow he deserves a lot of credit.

Read between the lines, it's not hard to see... We lose by 1 and I make bank
The line opened at 4 and got pushed all the way to 7 offshore and 6.5 in Vegas. The books are absolutely terrified of a Pats cover. This is almost identical to the Steelers-Dolphins game 2 weeks ago. Low closing line that everyone thought was easy money. If it seems to good to be true....it always is. I'm hoping to snag Bills ML at +240 tomorrow morning. It's +225 at MGM and +220 everywhere else. You living in Vegas by any chance?

Fun facts for you guys from a Vegas analytics Bills fan
Rex has kept the Patriots within 8 points in all of his last 7 games dating back to his Jets days. The most popular bet this week at all Vegas books and offshore sites is Patriots -6.5 by far. About 95% of the money is on the Pats covering. Books around the world are set to lose ~50 million if the Pats cover. Expect a very close game with some weird illegal contact, holds, roughing the passer type penalties that go the Bills way. Don't be surprised if the Bills win outright. You heard it here first.

4) before the half? I thought he played it perfect. We were playing for a field goal knowing we got the ball to start the 3rd.
6) Fisher made 2 awful calls at the end of the game. Coaches have lost their jobs over less.
8) Dude is an absolute baller. Very few mistakes. Fred Jackson is smiling.
9) Gilmore has become one of the most inconsistent DBs I've ever watched. He flashes some serious recovery speed and ball skills.

Out of curiosity, to all the people defending TT in this thread, if you are the Bills and we get this same type of production all year do you Take the out in the contract or move forward paying him $27M next season?
To me the question isn't whether he's good enough so far, it's how much you are willing to invest in him moving forward. Like Bado said upstream, his accuracy has regressed this year and it's a bit shocking. I hope to hell he improves during the season making the decision easy because right now it's a really tough decision.
What's our record at the end of the season? Just win baby.

When you look at Tyrod as a QB you have to take into account his running stats/threat of him running. He keeps defenses honest in a way QBs like Big Ben can't do (although he does it in his own way). So when you look at his 124 passing yards you have to remember what he did on the ground and how he kept the defense on their toes which makes it easier for McCoy to
Get going.
All of that being said I feel he is a middle of the pack QB. No better, no worst.
Great point. Thank you.
-
Yikes. Some of you should watch more than just Bills games. It's almost like you have no idea what a good QB looks like. Are you seriously saying Tyrod is more than just a game manager?
I live in Vegas and watch everything. Where do you rank Tyrod overall compared to the other 31 starting QBs? I've seen some pretty terrible interceptions, believe it or not.
-
What are you even trying to say here?
Not sure how you define a game manager, but it usually leads to 8 in the box. Tyrod isn't that.
-
What is wrong with starting him next year while having a potential franchise QB waiting in the wings behind him?
So Tyrod stops winning and we go 7-9. We should snag our franchise QB at #16 right?
-
He's been mediocre. Throwing for 125 yards and winning is not sustainable. He's a game manager and we can find one of those for a fraction of the price.
You do realize that McCoy puts up 20 carries 40 yards with a low price "game manager". Watch the games man.
-
Who the !@#$ said to cut him?
Take a look at the way his contract is structured. He won't be a 20m backup.
-
I like Tyrod. He has a lot of pros in his favor.
He has a lot of cons too.
He is not a bad player, but he's not a particularly good passer either.
He's sort of slightly too good to be a backup, but only because there is such a dearth of starting QB talent in the league these days.
I would like to continue to try and aggressively find "the guy" at QB, b/c Tyrod ain't it.
So we cut him next year right? You guys are out of your mind.
Would Tyrod have won the SB last year as the Broncos starting QB? Yes.
Play D, force turnovers, don't turn the ball over, put enough points up to win games ON THE ROAD.
-
Just curious, how many QBs throw that TD pass to Justin Hunter? Maybe 5? I know you gave him his props on his 1st quarter, but if we don't put up 6 there, I think we lose this game.
-
Fire Rex and promote the marketing team. Somehow they got us to buy season tickets. Geniuses.
-
Did anyone notice that first play from scrimmage was an OPI as the dolphins wide out set a pick about 3 yards up the field. Was some great foreshadowing on how the rest of the game would go.
-
I take the losses extremely tough, I was fuming at the Gilmore PI call last night and actually punched the wall. Took a lot of deep breaths to not throw my phone at the TV.
-
Damn right
-
Maybe our coaching staff can add a sack as well.
That was wonderful.
-
I give a ton of credit to Marrone for throwing Carpenter out there for the 58 yarder. It was an easy call to make but I feel like some of the last few coaches (jauron, gailey) would've sent the punt team out and played for OT... I loved every second of it. Great game all around.
I just moved to a new city and spent $80 on shots for all the people around me at the Bills bar when that kick went through. Gonna regret that tomorrow.
Huge game next week but I'm extremely confident. Go bills!!!!

this dude is like seasonal herpes.
I chuckled. Well done.

Gibran Hamden
Come on now. His talents were just being misused.

Elway must have just realized that Manning hates "liquored-up" kickers
Mike Vanderjagt reference? Now that guy could drink.

I saw TJ Graham got thrown into the discussion. He actually very well could be one of the worst all around football players this team has ever seen. I cringed every time I saw him catch a ball with his body. The guy had absolutely no natural pass catching ability. He had no place on even the worst of collegiate football program's WR corps. How he even made it into the NFL is beyond me. Dude should've got his degree and started coaching girls middle school track and field. Or maybe head over to Enterprise like all the rest of us.Absolutely no way Pears makes the list of all-time Bills worst players. C'mon man!!
He may be one of the worst players on the team currently (totally playing out of position..BTW), but you have to look at overall body of work.

Ignoring his constant clock management mistakes, challenge success rates and overall football IQ. Yea he was pretty good.
