He also put the Bears "potentially" over the Cardinals for his Upset Alert segment... So I would be a bit worried about his picks 😂

Me too man, I'm getting anxious to just see it already! I've just learned that I can't put all my faith on any one game, especially when it comes to the Bills, as they just have a weird way of getting your hopes up just enough to make it that much more painful when they lay an egg lol I STILL get angry thinking about the MNF game from 2008 against the Cowboys... and we came into that game riddled with injuries, no wins (I think), against a hyped up Cowboys team we all expected to destroy us. I went into that game just happy MNF was returning to Buffalo, and I'd get to watch it in Dallas with my Dallas friends By halftime I had hyped myself up to stupid proportions, going crazy for this supposedly dead team pulling off a huge upset in front of all my friends. By the end, I was all but cursing life/god/family/karma & wishing I had never grew up a Bills fan 😂

Hope Mathieu is in the background with his hands up again.

You make good points about how the defense played OVERALL in the TN game, but I don't think the defense feels great about that game either. Also, I doubt the defense is too insulted due to the media coverage of another team's defense. Our unit still gets a ton of praise, it's just the Pats have been on a hot streak & having a complimentary offensive style to that defense... we really don't. But yeah, the Bills are still #1 in yards allowed per game allowed after all. And even though the Pats are #1 in points per game allowed, the Bills are #2. Not a huge distiniction.

I feel like there's a difference between "confidence" and calling ANY opponent in the NFL an "easy game," let alone the Patriots... Especially, you know, when you showed you can lose 6-9 against the Jaguars. Questioning that comment has nothing to do with "being scared."

I have no idea how this happened, but for some reason I read this in Miyagi's voice before getting to the last line... I kinda feel racist or something, ew weird...

You really, really shouldn't put that much weight & those high of expectations on any one game. I know it's important, & it's the Pats, but you're psyching yourself up for some serious anger/sadness potential. I'm 100% not trying to be mean or anything, just remember how pissed I used to get when I'd do that myself.

Ouch... I don't think I was expecting some crazy revelation from this post, but I definitely had higher hopes for SOMETHING new worth being optimistic about Edit: This comment was in response to the thread titled something like "Why I believe the Bills will win Monday" before it was merged lol

I understand what you're saying, though I feel like settling for FG's against the Chiefs, especially in the Broncos position, would be most people's definition of "coaching scared." The Bills tried settling for FG's in the AFCCG & quickly came to regret it. This season, our inability to score TD's in the redzone came back to bite us several times. That's not to say kicking the FGs were wrong in their situation, only that it's dependent on what kind of team you are & who you're playing against. I think the Broncos know they're lucky to be in the playoff conversation the way they've played, and a win against a division rival is critical to keeping those hopes alive.

So shouldn't they go with the better team offering $16 million (maybe that's what you're saying)? I guess to me it'd depend on how long the contract was for & how much was guaranteed money. $2 million per year over a 5 year contract adds up, but ultimately it depends on a number of things (including what stage of your career you're in).

Hill is getting pretty good at adding INT's to Pat's stat line 😂

Is this sarcasm or full on denial? We are not built for bad weather, and we're definitely not built for beating this NE team... I'm so confused about how you think playing against a disciplined, strong running, tough & opportunistic defensive team, especially in bad weather, is an "easy game." Oh, and this team is run by a HOF HC who is prepping them. No QB has beat Belichick 3 times in a row, so it's not like there's history favoring us either. Yeah, the Bills definitely can win. But man, this false bravado & crazy talk just puts out bad juju to jinx us! Yes, I'm superstitious as hell 😂

Wait, because he failed a 2 point conversion at the end? Also, the subject of your username almost gave the Ravens the win 😜

Guys... I don't know how many times this has to be proven, but the more you win, the more credit you get! Crazy concept, I know... but the Bills were getting TONS of love & the benefit of the doubt nearly every game, even after losing at home to the Steelers to kick off the season. Then we lost to the 1 win Jaguars & got blown the hell out at home against the Colts...meanwhile the Pats go on a 6 game win streak & take the division lead. Even still, plenty of people are picking the Bills to win this game. Despite all evidence suggesting this is the Pats' game to lose, people still are basing predictions off what the more flashy things they've seen the Bills do last year & this season. Teams EARN their benefit of the doubt over time. The Pats have had 1 down year without Brady, now seemingly got it together. Of course the media is going to credit the two-decade division leaders as soon as they can. Of course a team that is 3-3 in its last 6 games & choked away the division lead is going to be doubted. When we were cruising, there were posts with people saying it felt weird to get all the love & always be the favorite! It didn't feel right to not be the underdog anymore! Well now here we are, looking up at the Pats, and now fans are mad we aren't the runaway favorites? If we lose this game like many expect, what then? Should we still be favored every game afterwards?? You going to be furious when Josh Allen isn't mentioned in the MVP conversation? If Allen turns the ball over a ton, are you going to scream every time an announcer slobbers over an opposing QB like Brady in our upcoming games? The Bills have to earn that benefit of the doubt again. They still have a lot of it tucked away in the bank, and plenty of people still believe the Bills will win Monday night. But that won't last long if we keep going win, loss, win, loss, win, loss...

It's annoying, but it's better than when the NFL was rabbidly enforcing excessive celebration penalties. I still have PTSD whenever I see a player go to the ground celebrating! But yes, it's obnoxious to see people run all the way to the other side of the field just to pose. Perhaps they could specifically call those types of celebrations as delay of game penalties? I hate taunting/celebration flags, but there has to be a limit to prevent such extensive/time consuming ones.

I would've been disappointed to hear otherwise. Antonio Brown staying true to form.

I'll be honest, I've been all on the "wish they'd build a dome!" train, but I enjoy watching snow games. You're right in that it's an intriguing thing as a viewer. Even though I'd be 100% for a dome, snow games are a fun spectacle. Problem is this is a game against the Patriots, and it's a game for the division lead. Also, despite what people WANT us to be, our team doesn't have an advantage in bad weather anymore (and hasn't for a while). The Pats are a better coached team, don't turn the ball over, can run the ball very well, and are disciplined. And although our defense is great at takeaways, theirs is the only one better. Combine that with Josh turning the ball over more recently, this "could" be a recipe for disaster. I haven't checked to see who's officiating the game, but the refs this year have been a mess. We've been very undisciplined during many games this year, and if we get a flag-happy crew in bad weather, Belichick can be as conservative as possible & stall us out. Slow/grindy running on top of drives being extended via penalties could wear our defense down FAST & never allow the offense to get in rhythm. Of course, this is all worst case scenario stuff, but it's also quite plausible. We haven't won back to back games since the Chiefs win October 10th, lost to a 1-win Jags team, lost by nearly 30 points at home to the Colts, and are facing the hottest team in the league. McDermott will have to coach masterfully, have the team more prepared than ever, and Allen will have to execute a nearly perfect game without turnovers.

If all you want is "yes," or "no," then just make a poll you dolt. If you want actual discussion, then your response right here was stupid & pointless.

Since this team is clearly bipolar, I'm not "expecting" anything. Those hyped up games used to have a weird effect on the Bills, now it's just losses to teams you'd never expect. Allen is turning the ball over way more than he did last season, and against Belichick, that won't fly. They're playing their best football and definitely won't come in overconfident. It's up to the Bills to show they can impose their will against a Belichick gameplan that will be designed to make us one dimensional. They can do it, but I'm not taking anything for granted.

He's right about the "piss-missile" passes though 😂 I mean, it's cool Josh can throw 95 mph lasers, but there are times where that's probably not the best approach lol

This turned out to be a pretty good indicator of what to expect for this game. I'll have to start paying more attention to these threads, because I loved how this game was called. It wasn't just that we won, the pacing itself was so much better. And not having to watch drive after drive be extended due to some janky call off screen was wonderful. Oh, any kickoff or punt not being an automatic flag was nice too.

Brady is great at avoiding pressure while staying in the pocket. He may be one of the best ever in that area.

I've been puking watching recent games, and I still love the team, so hah, I win!

This is why people have to stop making Allen out to be "elite" & saying they'd take him over everyone else. 4 years as a starter, & still just makes these goofy, dumb decisions. I'm not talking simple mistakes, every QB throws picks, but completely avoidable, head-scratching forced errors that ensure you hurt your team.

Just like Lee Evans!
