Honestly I think Brady had that game right not running cook too much…the ne linebackers are just run stuffers and they’re vulnerable to TEs in the passing game/josh scrambles. Really isn’t a good matchup for NE imo but if the bills go -2 in turnover differential again they can certainly lose. If they don’t the bills win this one pretty comfortably that pats fan poster was like ‘oh we will simply stop the running game and Kincaid’ but what makes them good at slowing down the run hurts them at stopping the bills tight ends. Really don’t think they’ll be able to do both especially with the injuries and they really didn’t even stop both last time…Kincaid was over 100 yards receiving and Josh ripped off some big runs

That whole podcast he did was just a pr move to make the bills feel like they’re keeping a dude from playing football near his family/put some public pressure on the bills to release him. It doesn’t seem to have worked lol

Theres a bunch of good 4pm window games and I think the cowboys are still a pretty big SNF draw somehow 😂 I think the networks can protect a certain amount of games not sure exactly how it works. If the game goes to SNF or MNF it swaps networks as big as this game feels on paper it really isn’t very high stakes at this moment.. pats will probably still win the division with a loss and bills will probably still make the playoffs with a loss. If this game was for the division lead I bet it woulda been flexed

Yea you really gotta take defensive stats with a grain of salt for both these teams (even more so with the pats) The schedules have just been so easy. Pats have played 7 of the 8 worst offenses in the league and 10 out of the bottom 12. The bills got chiefs and Texans instead of the pats getting the two worst offenses in the league The second best offense in total yards the pats have played is the giants and it’s not like they held the bills far below their season averages. If they shut down the burrow/chase/higgins bengals I’d be a little more worried but they got the Flacco/no chase/higgins out a half bengals

I think he’s very likely not coming but I’d expect him to play a game of chicken for awhile hoping we release him either way he might get antsy not wanting to retire the longer this goes on lol you never know

I’d prefer to see them panic and look over their shoulder down the stretch and try to convince themselves it was a fluke then lose in a their first playoff game 😂

Depends on how it happens…if the division records end up matching it gets pushed to conference record where we’d have the edge at 12-5 because NE would have to lose 3 more conference games to end up at 12 wins. at 12 wins for NE I think we have to have the tiebreaker actually because they’d have to lose at least two more division games since 3/4 of their remaining games are in the division

I still think that’s the dolphins trolling lol they still probably wouldnt have done it for a 2026 first. Some of the other quotes that came out around that time were they and the jets were adamant that they wouldn’t trade within the division

We got pretty much the only full strength ravens team too haha and one of the few to get the tyreek dolphins (of course they beat us without him though)

On a related note on top of all that even if he wasn’t disgruntled I feel like diggs has always been a low effort run blocker. He seems pretty bad in those areas even for the pats right now. over the years teams would pull him off the field on running plays a pretty good amount which kinda limits Brady’s whole philosophy of passing out of run looks. Even if Diggs fully bought in (which he likely didn’t) I don’t think he’s a very good fit in this bills offense at this stage in his career

Wow..kinda surprised this isn’t a bit more controversial of a situation in the media tbh. I’ve seen some rumblings about it in the media but not a ton. I can buy the whole ‘symptoms don’t show up until after the game in some cases’ but we literally watched him have symptoms during the game on live television 😂

Starting to see it reported that it was during a dry needling session? How does that even happen isn’t that essentially a more scientific take on acupuncture?

Can’t remember where I saw this but apparently the Steelers facility is attached to a very cutting edge medical imaging center where they could easily use an ultrasound when they do injections like that and I guess they just don’t? I don’t know that it’s a tyrod Taylor type thing though

I think he’s saying if the pats lost earlier in the day to the jets falling to 11-5 we would just need to beat the jets week 18 and there’s no way the pats could jump us making the eagles game somewhat meaningless. The jets game is a must win even if we were to win the eagles game because we blow the division tiebreaker if we lose that one

It’s an interesting hypothetical but if NE drops three in a row i think it’s pretty likely we’re playing for the 1 seed in week 17 and 18. Also if we’re at 12-4 after beating the eagles and pats are 11-5 there’s still the small possibility both teams lose week 18 making that eagles win meaningful. In this reality the jets would’ve just beat the pats a few weeks before so they’re probably playing decent football 😂. Aah thinkin about this more I guess we’d have the division tiebreaker neutralized if we lost one division game and pats lost 3 more anyway makin the eagles game meaningless again haha still think the 1 seed philosophy will hold but that intentional loss argument as far as the division goes seems to check out

Oooh should’ve replied to this instead of posting separate lol the only above .500 teams the pats have beaten at the moment are panthers and bills. Only above .500 teams they’ve seen are pit,Carolina,Buffalo. If they lose the rematch with the bills I think there’s gonna be a lot of heat on the whole ‘who did they beat’ narrative because who really cares about the flukey less recent head to head with buffalo. If they win they will likely become a Super Bowl favorite. It’s pretty ironic really because on paper the game really doesn’t mean a whole lot…bills are very likely a playoff team still with a loss and pats are likely still winning the division with a loss. narrative wise it feels huge though. There’s gonna be a lottt of 2020 Steelers comparisons with NE if the bills win this one comfortably

Feels like just about every team that bills or pats fans tried to hype up their win over has become cursed 😂 Bucs loss tonight was wild. bills are down to just Steelers and panthers and pats are down to bills and panthers for wins over above .500 teams lol granted I’m not sure how to account for the burrow bengals the bills faced

The amount of above .500 teams the bills and pats have beat drops by another one 😂.

I think Denver is properly questioned and Jacksonville is getting slept on a bit personally I’ve seen Denver look bad for three quarters far too often to trust them at all.. their strength of victory is atrocious(worse than NEs even) and they just snuck away with a lot of those wins. The Philly win is starting to lose its luster with Philly losing to a straight up injury decimated chargers team funny enough I think bills broncos jags are right in a row in the epa/play ranking 😂

I think the ravens know they don’t have the guys in the trenches to do anything meaningful this season so they aren’t playing super hard. Really wouldn’t even hate a ravens matchup barring massive changes in the last four games. If the bills finish 3-1 or better and the loss isn’t NE they’ll be a road favorite in any afc matchup imo

Could be hopium but ‘medical walking shoe’ sounds pretty minor to me

The statements are true but I think the context is lacking personally. Offense seems down league-wide and I think the bills are in as good or better of a position than they’ve ever been compared to their playoff counterparts seems like parity really beat up all the top teams and the bills have done a pretty good job maintaining compared to the others.

Defensive stats are pretty much meaningless for the bills and pats imo. The schedules are just too easy to compare them one to one to some other teams. 10 of the pats games are against the: 32nd,31st,30th,29th,27th,26th,25th,23rd,22nd,21st offenses in the league and one of the others is the giants down their best receiver and running back. Bills had burrow,mahomes and Lamar on the schedule but it’s not like they played any good in two of those 3 games anyway and the rest is remarkably similar there’s a bigger schedule disparity on the offensive side though

Was just lookin at the stats for this and it’s wild…this year there’s 4 teams with over 370 total yards per game…last year there were 5,2023 there were 6,2022 there were 8, 2021 there were 9, 2020 there were 15! feels like offense has trailed off a bit each year and the empty stadiums in 2020 made it a lot easier on offenses on top of that

Probably the most realistic way…it’s not impossible bills finish 3-1 and pats 1-3 though pats schedule heats up a little bit down the stretch…jets are probably a free win but the other 3 you never know
