    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.

    Huh?  You had said previously that you came here for "good football talk" because the fans were so knowledgeable.

     

    No worries. I knew you weren't truthin' on that.

     

  2. 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.

     

     

  3. It's exciting that this game is such a huge deal - but I also kind of wish it wasn't such a huge deal.

     

    Pats fans always talk disdainfully about how playing their team is the other team's "Super Bowl" (they're just so bored w/ the regular season at this point).  Unfortunately, they're right. In a way, that's cool.   But it also does make me want this to just get back to being a good ol' standard divisional rivalry game.  Just another fun Sunday, and not something that has so much negative history behind it and feels so weighty.

  4. When this now legendary Pats team started dominating the league in 2001, it was pretty quiet.  The weren’t plowing through opppnents in lopsided contests.  They were scrappy overachievers, finding ways to eek out wins.

     

    It’s easy to look back now on those early years and say, of course, it was Brady and BB.      But no one knew that at the time.  No one saw it coming.

     

    I feel like this Bills team under Allen could have that same dynamic.  Not really taken too seriously, but finding ways to win and in the process, building something pretty memorable.

    But somehow the Pats lost 5 games last year including games to Miami, Detroit, Pittsburgh and Tennessee. None of those teams made the playoffs. 

     

    Im guessing Pats fans went into all those games being over confident too.

     

    Just because the Pats are the best team in the league doesn’t mean they win every game.

    And who knows if they’re the best team.

     

    They have beaten no one.  Bills haven’t either, but no one is saying we’re the best.
