The Patriots, and their wonderful fanbase , will feel life's keen sting this coming weekend. They are not in their typical stride heading into the playoffs. Truthfully, they are still looking for answers with their consistency on offense. They also only hold a .500 record in the playoffs with 0 SB appearances when being forced to play WC weekend. Father time is catching up with Brady, despite what we saw against our own Bills a little over a week ago. It was even more evident yesterday against the Dolphins. Mike Vrabel is a BB disciple of sorts and knows their schemes well. For all of the talk about Gilmore being DPOY, he was eaten alive yesterday by Devante Parker. The Pats have also shown they are beatable at home. The Titans offensive scheme is tailor made to face that defense. Derrick Henry is going to give them fits and Tannehill is a better version of Ryan Fitzpatrick. AJ Brown, even though he is only a rookie, is about as polished a WR you will find at this early stage in the league. He's big, strong, a very good route runner, and has some speed as well. I believe it will be another long day for Gilmore. Look for Vrabel to pound the rock with Henry and Tannehill to eat them alive off of play-action. I also expect Dion Lewis to be more involved in the passing game, being utilized in the same manner as White is for the Pats more so this WC weekend keeping the defense off balance. Vrabel will also have his defense ready to go, dialing up pressure at the right times to keep Brady uncomfortable all game long. This is the year that it all starts to come crashing down. Titans 31 Pats 21, and this will be with the Pats getting a garbage TD towards the end of the game.

The Pats choking is the best Christmas/B-Day present I could have asked for with the Bills already locked in at 5.

Wouldn't be a big loss imo. Let them make that mistake if they want to.

The Senior Bowl week will be huge for him, where he'll actually face the best college competition he has seen in 4 years. He's not gonna be a 1st Round pick though.

It would be nice to end the regular season with a W. Let Josh come out and sling it around, get a two or three TD lead, and pull the starters after that. The Jets suck.

AJ Dillon

Meh, idk about the whole "sources from deep within" shtick

Don't be maaaad, UPS is hiring

So we have the $$$ to sign Antonio Brown?

Miserable? I'm not miserable. You guys miserable? Outside of the JA Nancy's, I'd say we're a fairly jolly bunch.

Are Payton and the Saints the new BB and the Pats, win at all costs?

I would say CTE, but this is probably more the result of a bunch of drunks trying to come up with a plan to get rich.

As did I, along with our first playoff victory in over 2 decades.

With it being a trip west I would think we are the late game on either Saturday or Sunday.

I was thinking more along the lines of 8lb 6oz baby Jesus, the savior of the Buffalo Bills though and not our souls.

Indeed. They said he's lost the locker room. One can only hope the Jets stick with the guy and they continue to botch Darnold's development. Also, with all of the bad press between trade talks and the handling of medical issues, I doubt any FA really wants to go there. They may quickly become the bottom dwellers of the AFC East.

Merry Christmas, my friends, from me and my family to all of you. Hope today is full of good times, cherished memories, peace, and grace. ???

What if the Raiders sneak in on the back end? If they win along with Tennessee losing to Houston, Steelers to the Ravens, and a couple other things, which are likely, happen then they get in.

PFF employees on the way to work.

Completely stupid to trot all of the starters out there in an absolutely meaningless game. There is nothing to be gained from this. At this point the team is what it is. We should take advantage of the ability to rest our main guys and let the backups get some work in.

There's not much variation now from what they ran schematically when he was there before. The concepts are basically the same.

This is what happens when the FO makes a bunch of short sighted decisions in hopes of a quick SB instead of building for sustainability.

For what it's worth he still averaged 4.2 ypc last year in 6 games with the Raiders. Of course he's not the player he once was, but the Seahawks have their top 3 RB's on IR and Lynch knows the offense. It's a very low risk, possibly good reward signing for them.

Houshmazilli.....Championship of course
