Josh needs to get things rolling.

Back end needs to help out here

WTF

Better

Receivers need to be ready for the ball coming out early.

At least Kincaid held onto the ball

Tush push!

DQ looks like he's got a little pep in his step there.

Or maybe just resting him up for Miami. I was sure it would be a rotation of DQ and Linval. Sometimes I just don't get the DL rotation.

Linval too. That's a surprise.

Haha. So much for a long sustained drive

That's funny. I was thinking the same thing about Dallas.

Blatant offensive pass interference...no call

Yet they are running it down the Cowboys throat.

LaProrta wiffed bad on his block there

Wow, pulled that out of his ass.

That's what they keep telling themselves.

I'm expecting our offense to dominate, Bellycheck to get fired and the defense to daze and confuse their QB....what's his name?

Both of our TEs have had success against NE in prior games. That being said, I think Bellycheck will concentrate on stopping that. Won't work though because the threat of Cook out of the backfield or Allen running is going to keep the LBs on their heels. One of, if not both of the TEs is still going to get theirs. I think Cook is going to have a big day. When he's not rushing or catching, he'll be drawing a LB his way and that will leave one on one for our TEs. The thing that Buffalo's offense has an advantage at is keeping the LBs guessing. They are the ones that will be spying Allen, covering TEs and Cook out of the backfield. I don't think they can and I'm not sure who is going to have the bigger day. Might be Knox. Might be Kincaid. Might be Cook. There is a very real possibility that the running game gets hot regardless of how good NE is at stopping the run. The Bills are really good at running the ball and that may not be the defense's primary focus. Diggs is due too. All of this focus on LBs is still a smoke screen. My choice is that the Bills get the passing game rolling. The run game and misdirection thrown at the LBs leads to the defense getting smoked by the passing game. One of those safeties will start creeping up to help out and then Allen will go over the top. The biggest beneficiary....Diggs. On defense, I have to go with big Ed. Having 2 1T DTs on the roster and spelling each other, is going to free him up. In summary: Diggs and Big Ed

The Pats best effort ain't enough.

Yea, I'm pretty sure that theory will be tested. Honestly, I have not been able to predict a game plan since Brady took over and that's a good thing. It feels like the offense is learning to find ways to win in diverse ways.

I'm no expert, but I'm thinking the offense will be attacking the LBs. TE's targeted and RB's out of the backfield. Going to be a lot of presnap motion. But just when I think I have Brady figured out, something else happens. Who would have guessed Gabe Davis would go off last week?

I was just looking back at a video showing all of Joshes passes last week. Was very surprised by how many of them had runs after the catch. Is this Brady's doing? A dominate run game, yards after catch, ability to recognize the hot hand. A little early for awarding him any prizes, but I'm going to be paying attention to the game this week and try to decipher what the game plan was. Very curious what is schemed up for NE. It seems weird not having any idea what the game plan will look like. Every week since Brady took over, I've been surprised. Patriots are tough to run against, but the Bills are one of the best running teams, so it could be interesting. I tend to think the percentage of runs will decrease this week and passes to increase. Just a guess, but who knows. Maybe, the RBs go off.

Some key players went from limited to full. Interesting who's listed as questionable for game status.

You could be right. I think he'll be motivated too. Wouldn't at all be surprised to see him blow up a play in the backfield on his first series.
