You think Brady and a rookie QB are equal?? Stidham isn’t a rookie btw. Score read 16-10 Pats. That’s getting beat. I would put a hefty amount of money on us splitting the season series with the Pats this year.

That’s my point

It was basically a one year olive branch for Saints fans.

Brady didn’t block that punt. So, I’m utterly confident that Stidham is capable of putting up that statline above, and we know that statline can be good enough to beat us.

Brady played the worst game of the year last year against the Bills, 18-39 for 150 and INT. We still got held to 10 and we still lost.

That just means they may shoot you on purpose

Hokie AND Hapless in PPP? Am I hallucinating???

Exactly. Facing Dalton, Eli, and Mariota isn’t gonna happen this year.

Eh. 6 of the opponents the Bills played last year picked in the top 11. Two of them were divisional opponents, so that’s 8 games. We went 6-2 against those teams. I don’t think it’s crazy to suggest that number will likely be lower next year.

I’m more concerned that one of the Pats 6 wins or 9 wins or 4 wins comes against the Bills. Not concerned about them winning the divison as much as I am that they’ll beat us.

Ah, I was confused because you kept saying mediocre. Totally agree. To surpass the Pats’ secondary, we simply need higher level of play from the role players.

I do not believe the first part. Didn’t this whole saga begin with everyone running around that hospitals were gonna overflow and we would be the next Italy? Hospitals across the country are effectively at half census or were at one point. The hospitals themselves are reopening elective surgeries. To your second, this is not an epidemiological experiment. A judgement call must be made between the economy/people’s livelihoods and 100% by the book disease control.

Sure, I’m all good with that. But as you said, we start to reopen.

The players going on strike to protest a 50% paycut because the billionaire owners aren’t making as much money won’t have the effect you think it will.

???? Free Agency just happened. Clowney is siting out waiting for $20M per year. This isn’t a big deal for anyone.

That’s what flattening the curve is for. What is the next step?

Being the OC who “fixed” Josh Allen, a super polarizing QB prospect, would be quite the feather. I could see the Chargers take a good long look at him this offseason once they get an excuse to jettison Lynn.

The number of flu cases go up every year. And we have flu vaccines. I’m curious what end goal you have in mind?

What?

And then We lost, 22-9 of course.

We also drafted 1 QB after EJ until McD got here. Rocket science it is not.

The usual suspects of "we don't get any respect" and "everyone is out to get the Bills" are conspicuously absent from this thread.

????? White is a superstar. Poyer and Hyde are stars. Our secondary was darn good last year. Where is this mediocre stuff even coming from? Wallace played a huge chunk of last season and they were really really good. Why do they need to Norman to return to All-Pro form to achieve that again? What am I missing? How many secondaries in the NFL pound for pound would you call better than ours? Not many.

Good football team? I don’t know about that. No guarantee the Bills stomp them twice this season? Absolutely.

If you truly needed them in a game, you’d likely keep them on the roster.
