    When a rivalry has been one-sided for a length of time - like this one - so much of it is psychological.

     

    I loved hearing Beasley's comments about not caring; I hope most of the players feel that way, and see it as just another game & chance to go 4-0.  Straight-up, we really should win this game at home.  The talent differential isn't significant.  For the one position where it is, they're relying on someone who just turned 42.

     

     

    I agree the talent difference is marginal outside of qb at this point. The coaching difference is huge. Mcd to this point has shown he is a marginal game day coach at best.

    Totally agree.  He doesn't like playing physical and it can help take him off his game.

    If that happens Gilmore will probably dive at Knox's feet and miss to ensure he doesn't get hurt.

    Gilmore doesnt like playing physical? When was the last time you watched him play? He is very physical?  Man sometimes I think other than 10 people on this board dont watch other teams besides the bills.

    Thanks, Interesting.  I'm pretty sure I recall some of our Pats fan visitors deny this rift.

    The source I mentioned wasn't a PR person with "official" statement, but rather an unnamed source within the Pats organization.

    The rift at the time was between Brady and Belichick. Not really sure what the issue was. It definitely wasnt about trading Jimmy G. Rumors were that Brady was getting tired of Belichicks schtick. He felt that as a 18 year vet he should have been cut some slack in team meetings.

  4. Yeah that was a rumor. SF wanted to trade for Brady. Belichick laughed. Pats were hoping to sign Garrapolo to a bridge deal. They offered 2 years 24 million fully guaranteed. When it he wouldnt take the deal. They traded him. They really couldnt franchise him either. You would have had 48 million in cap space on 2 qbs.

    In a completely surprising move, the Bills move Ed Oliver to nose tackle so he can play beside Jerry and the destruction is devastating.  Ed's quickness against the nose who has to set protections, hike the ball and block is just too much for him. NE tries to put extra blockers on that side of the line, only to be obliterated by Trent Murphy and Lorax.

    Ill take that. That would completely take Oliver out of the game.

    Fans seem to be hanging their hats on the concept that there somehow there is a requirement to have short term mediocrity or failure in order to build for a period of sustained excellence.  Not sure 21st history really bears that out. 

    I think sustained excellence is fancy word for having one of the leagues top 3 or 5 QBs for an extended period of time.  Bills fans are skewed by their relation with the Patriots.  I am going to go out on a limb and say their run of success is a fluke, that won't happen again in my lifetime. 

    In truth only 4 teams have really had a period of sustained excellence in the this century. Indianapolis with Peyton Manning, Steelers with Ben Rothlisberger and the Patriots with Tom Brady and the Saints with Drew Brees.   Other teams have had intermittent successes with a different model, notably the Ravens.   But no team without a future HOF QB who truly gaps out from their peers has accomplished that. ( I am defining sustained excellence as appearing in divisional playoff games more than 50% of the time for an extended period of years. Anything less would be more like "sustained good".)  One great QB Aaron Rodgers only had intermittent success. So HOF QB is not the only thing for "sustained excellence" just the minimum starting requirements. 

    I don't think top 10 QB really gets you sustained success.  Think Matt Ryan or Cam Newton or Russell Wilson. Their teams had their moments when everything came together. 

    Fortunately Josh Allen is a future HOF QB, and he provides the minimum building block to lead the teams to playoff wins and championships for the next dozen years.  Starting this year. 

    Really? 15 games in an your already stating he is a hof'er. You guys really are homers.

    They’ve won three games, there’s plenty to be happy about and I expect they’ll win a bunch more barring injuries. it’s just I think a lot of fans including myself are so over getting emotionally drained because we are playing the patriots(who should win the game) all I care about at this point is getting back to the playoffs and if you look at the bills schedule that road of getting there doesn’t have to be by beating the patriots. 

    I have no doubt Bills will make the playoffs. As long as they keep doing what theyre doing.

    Never said they suck. I said the Bills can beat them. The Pats have not been tested this year. They get the benefit of being SB champs but they are beat up and Brady is older. 

    Neither team has been tested. Its just the Bills offense has made more mistakes, but were good enough in the end to pull it out.

    You can only play who's on your schedule.

    No offense here: I am thoroughly confused as to where you think Thuney will play and why.

     

    The Thuney discussion started because you said they'd move him to RT if Newhouse can't go at LT. Now you seem to be saying he won't do so.

    When Cannon went dpwn in the steelers game they moved thuney to rt. Thats why i thinking that.

    Yeah, in an emergency you could do worse, but in a game where Tommy Boy is going to need time to pick apart a formidable pass defense, he's not a guy I expect to hold up on the EDGE. 

     

    You...just said that they'd play Thuney at RT???

     

    Also, I think Von Miller and Demarcus Ware would disagree 

    There was no line that day.. The more I think about. Instead of changing 3 positions they would rather deal with one. Mason karras and thuney have been exvellent in pass protection.
